Rail List in Brisk Demand
' '
in Final Hour,
By CHARLES W. STORM,
NEW YORK, April 25.—The stock
market opened unsettled today on sell
ing for both long and short aceount.
The failure of the United States Steel
directors to increase the dividend caused
speculative selling, and the cogmon
vielded % to 82%. The raillway issues
were generally lower, because of in
creased attention attached to the labor
situation. Reading declined % to 813%
and fractional losses were sustained in
Erie and New Haven.
The Mexican group was strong for a
few minutes, but a supply quickly ap
peared and those issues lost about all
their initial gains. American sSmelting,
after rising 35 to 94, dropped to 93.
Mexican Petroleum started % higher at
963 and then receded to 94. aldwin
Locomotive was the weakest of the spe
clalties and, after opening 1% higher at
87, fell to 84, Anaconda was fairly well
held, advancing 14 at the start to 82%,
but lost the gain under moderate sales.
The marine issues were ‘?‘n in good
demand, but showed little change at the
end of the first fifteen minutes., Distil
lers was exceptionally strong, moving up
a point to 495,
In the late forencon price movements
were mixed, some issues sustainiag sub
stantial losses, ' while others were in
vigorous demand and made moderate
gains, Distillers was one of the most
prominent features, advancing to 50y,
a gain of 1% {mtnm In all, Industrial
Alcohol rallied from 144% to 147, but re
acted to 145%. Steel Common sold at
83, Mexican Petroleum at 95, Anaconda
at 82%, Marine common at 24 and the
preferred at %1%. Jreene-Cananea rose
2 points to 48%, Mnniy of the special
tles were wdak, Baldwin selling at 83%
and Crucible at 783, Business in the
rallway issues was small and fractional
losses were noted.
Many issues displayed weakness in the
early afternoon and substantial losses
were recorded. Marine preferred was in
free supply, selling down to 80%, while
the common was in good demand and
advanced from 22% to 23%. istillers
lost all its early gain, selling at 48@.
American Smelting declined a point to
92%. Norfolk and Western was strong,
ad\'nnclnf 2% to 123.
The rallway issues were in brisk de
mand diring the last half hour of trad
ing and scored substantial gaing, based
on the declaration of an extra dividend
of 1 r cent on Norfolk and Western.
This mue Jumped to 1244, Unton Pacif
ic advanced to 130% and Pennsylvania
reached 563,
The market closed steady. Govern
ments unchanged; rallway and other
bonds strong.
Money loaned at 2% per cent.

of Fulton County:
*
No one disputes Mr. Arnold’s in
tegrity, ability and efficiency as a
prosecuting officer, but they do doubt
the advisability of his holding an of
fice which belongs to the public all his
natural life.
Mr. Arnold has the above qualifica
tions, but he has no monopoly on them.
Other lawyers in Atlanta are just as
worthy and well qualified, so why con
tinue Mr. Arnold in office longer than
12 years?
J. V. POOLE, who is asking the
voters to give him the office at this
time, was born and reared on the farm
in Forsyth County, taught school in
Forsyth and Milton Counties, grad
uated at the University of Georgia in
1905, practiced law at Lawrenceville
and Buford, Ga., and has been prac
ticing here in Atlanta for about eight
years, all of which give him as large, if
not larger, experience than Mr. Ar
nold, he having been born and reared
here in the City of Atlanta, and knows
nothing of country life except “coun
try home” life, and certainly nothing
of plowing a mule from sunup until
dark in the middle of June.
Mr. Poole has not tried to get nor
ask for an indorsement from any law
yers nor any political clique, but, on
the contrary, has gone to the voters
and asked them personally to vote for
him, they being the ones who should
control the public offices and not a cer
tain bunch of lawyers, and he respect
fully asks the voters of FULTON
COUNTY to investigate his record
as to character and ability from the
day of his birth to the present, and if
there is a thing against either, don’t
vote for him.
