Time barometer of business is boiling— in fact it threatens to boil over. The tremendous volume of trading since the election reminds one of a similar movement 23 years ago. The “McKinley Market” started the day after election. Rails led the advance and continued to rise for six months. That was another contest between radical and con servative. In that case William J. Bryan and “Free Silver” supplied the fireworks and threatened busi ness. The moment the ballots were counted and the country fac ed four years of safe and sane gov ernment the stock market baro meter of confidence shot upward. The analogy is close enough to be interesting but hardly close enough to predict that the market of 1901 will be repeated in 1925. DID WALL STREET MISS IT? The story is going round that Wall Street—that is the professional speculators—missed this post elec tion rise. Certainly the bulk of buying orders have been coming over the wires from the West and South. It would be a joke if “the insiders" lulled by the apathy of a dull summer had slept right through one of the most active markets in many moons. BERNARD M. BARUCH, one time head of the War Industries Board, is advocating a Court of Commerce—a sort of Supreme court of business tvhere rulings | might be had on the legality of certain agreements and trade prac tices. This would certainly be an improvement on our present sys tem of going ahead into a new field —being sued —and 'going through months, possibly years of expense and litigation to get at the inter pretation of some indefinite law. TAX REDUCTION again has the stage. A special session is being discussed. The Republicans say they will now put through their original program. The Democrats and independents say that if the Republicans don’t give the public real tax relief that they will force the issue. Personally we don't care who reduces our taxes so long as they are reduced. IRON AND STEEL ACTIVITY already reflects much improve ment. Orders are reported ns the largest since 1920. One producer lias increased the price of sheet steel by $3 a ton. Another of the few remaining unfavorable baro meters of business is headed for the favorable column. THE ALCHEMISTS are still at it. Ono Dr. Free is conducting scientific experiments in New York to determine whether quicksilver can be turned into gold by electri cal treatment. The last chemist Is apparently still working on the problem that intrigued the first. The only difference is that it has done. Last year in Germany, Pro fessor Miethe claims to have made a small quantity of gold from quicksilver. Other scientists have checked his experiments and en • dorse his claims. Apparently he lias produced synthetic gold—the alchemists dream has been rea lized—but it costs much more than the kind nature makes. THREE LARGE TIRE producers have recently bought as many cot ton mills that they may produce their own fabric. Competition is keen and it is evident that costs will be cut. All this argues well for the man who must buy "shoes” for the family car. GERMAN GOLD reserves have been rising at the rate of $15,000,- 000 a week. Where does it come from? An examination of trans actions shows that dollar credits and deposits held abroad in private accounts are being cashed and de posited to the credit of the Reich bank. Evidently even the Germans themselves are convinced that the Dawes plan will work. DO YOU SUPOSE the Congress men who put this noxious publicity elause in the tax bill figured that the government would win on the chap who has a $2500 income, but pays a tax on $12,500 —to help his social standing? TO NAME COMMITTEE In Connection With Savan nah Maritime Exposition ATLANTA, Ga.—Appointment of a committee to appear before con gress in behalf of the proposed maritime exposition at Savannah in 1926. will be made Tuesday at * the meeting of the general fair committee in the secretary of state’s office, it was announced Monday by Secretary of State S. G. McLendon. This committee will seek the en couragement and co-operation of congress in arranging for the ex position and will ask that a num ber of ships built during the World War. be sent to Savannah to serve as floating hotels during the fair. Secretary McLendon. who is chairman of the committee to ar range for the fair, said many South American countries had pledged their aid in making the exposition a success.

William Mulholland, builder of the aqueduct and chief engineej of the city water department, declared it would be ignored. The water escaping through the wastegates is estimated to cause the city a loss of SIO,OOO daily, but sufficient storage is still on hand in reservoirs to supply ordinary de mands for ninety days.

The raid Monday had settled into an organized occupation back ed by the efforts of several hun dred men and women. Summary of the News GENERAL. Raiders hold main aqueduct of Los Angeles water supply.

GENEVA.—The probable atti tude of the United States st the in terntaional opium conference open ing here Monday was a subject of eager discussion following the sensational collapse of the preli minary meeting.
