NEW YORK, , Oct. 19. Foreign con ditions were again a- potent influence in the week's "operations . on ,the stock "ex change. There was no recurrence" of the violent ; liquidation . In Europe which marked the previous week, but London and other European centers continued to amnifest a . state ...of unsettlement or de pression on the actual outbreak, of hos tilities in the Balkans. The advance in the British and French bank, rates also denoted a degree of apprehension re specting' the "monetary", outlook; Trading here was largely - : industrials, the rail way group- showings comparative neglect. Steel,- the coppers and many other less active issues displayed inherent strength Improvement in steel had its basis Jn tiade advices, which remain highly encouraging.- Amalgamated Copper-seemed to discount its. dividend - increase from 4 to 6 per cent, selling off towards the end of the - week". Among specialties, Tobaccos - were again ' conspicuous for spectacular advances. -. . . - :V ? Money ruled' firm with ' no material change except lor the greater ' supply an? increased acceptance of commercial paper , the result7 of; continued - business expansion. -t J The only drawback" to -. the general raih t ad situation lies 1n ' the lack of ea-jipment, 'which Is fiktly-to 'prove a murtj serious handicap ,onc'e the.

I" Chambers with a rousing address to the club on the best method to make Charlotte attrac tive to outside industries and to make them feel that they cannot but locate in this spot. High Praise From New Citizen. ' ! There was present last night Mr. L. T. "Robinson formerly ' of Baltimore, who made one of the most electrify ing speeches of the occasion, placing. Charlotte in the very V forefront in many- respects, with all the cities of the" world. He declared in the first place ' that " Charlotte - with one excep tion, according, to the government re port, had the ; finest ' health x records and lowest death rate of any ' cit- In the United States..: Also there were more square feet of hospital floor space ; per, capita, in Charlotte than in any other city and more male members on a percentage basis attend Church W Sundays. Furthermore the school floor space according to popu latinn w . rrMt . that i o ' u - of the land. "I am prouder to be; a Tar Heel, said the "speaker, "than I ever was of being a ' Marylander." The speaker thought . that North Carolina had made such progress that she was . entitled' to boost and it was no wonder to him that foreign capital flowed in from the North in; growing quantities each year,. The climate is ideal and the trees will grow any fruit and the soil anything that Is planted in it. He was most enthusiastic for Charlotte and the State and predicted a greater development yet in the fu ture. - -- '.'- "' ?. Securing Conventions. The- subject of conventions was legt 40 . Mr. J. A. Houston who outlined sevf ra,I excellentpropositions ;and de- dared that he had a new plan to be made known laterr for securing funds o take care r'of '.conventions. Mr. E. B ' .'Moore' also " spoke on- thia' subject, saying - that- in some Hhriving : cities; the hotel- men ihave a -plan- by -which they, contribute .accoridngUo the at-i tendanca-, at th'e various jConventiona in" proportion" to" the number of guests who attended. This plan,4 he 'declared had wnrhri-l !val! -UtIi, .Aoi lsf action, : il"-i4 1 Vi1'- r President Hook, next introduced Mr, C G, Creighton of . the transportation committee and declared that when the first Norfolk Southern V train reached the. city limits, he expected to h'aye a delegation on hand and to ask the engineer to halt his engine and it Mr.' Creighton : puij the throttle - that will bring the first train into the city over the new line. This proposition elicited laud applause. Mr. Creighton said that his committee was going to try to have all .trains carrying passen- gers' to or : from the city to make stops at all stations. : He also 4 had some other valuable plans for aiding the transportation problem, including new trains and more "convenient set vice J which will be taken up this year, 1 : Mr. W. S. Creighton followed- and spoke of the plans of the Charlotte Shippers & Manufacturers' Associa tion and the work of getting more equitable rates into this city.. The association, has secured some" conces sions and is now rooking for ' more, which will be of great value to Char lotte, Publicity and Publlo . Improvements, i Mr. E. W. . Thompson, chairman of the publicity committee, sair that what is needed is a task-setter, some thing to stimulate to ; action. He placed the building and loan at the head of the column of task-makers, and thought that the' club heeded Just such an ideal to make it move for ward. All publicity, he declared, is a species of i selfishness sublimated selfishness," a kind that is looking af ter the interets of both sides, and of the city at -large. r - 'Mr. T. T. Allison spoke" on public improvement, and interpreted this to mean everything that has to do With public welfare. He said that his com mittee Would be glad to hear sugges tions and would 'carry these to .the proper source and he would even ven ture to say that if in the cause-of pub lic improvements anybody wanted to go after the city . officials or anybody else, the committee would do what it could for them. ' ; . . Mr. 'Allison thought that public im- provement - included the whole scope of human endeavor, looking to the up lift of mankind, and said that . the. committee thought 4t- had had .ho 'lit tle task imposed on it, and as its du ties had not been defined" by the pres ident, the committee had tried' to de fine its own sphere, . . t;. .': : Mr. Chase Breniser, speaking .on, the same subject said that he believed, th ! eorganization- doubtless wanted to hear something of the municipal im provements 'and v he reviewed at some, length : the work that'; had - been , thus- far completed and that which Is to be completed and said that when all was finished a man could drive around a great circle 17 miles in length and return to the square without leav ing the permanently paved streets.' This great circle Would include im provements by the cityv the Stephens Company and the Chatham - Estates. , The Twentieth Committee. President C. C. Hook named the following as a committee to Immedi ately take up the question of the most fitting manner In which to observe the -next Twentieth of May: Messrs. F. Brevard McDowell, C. A. Williams, J. W. Cuthbertson, R. 0. 1 Alexander. Ralph Van Landingham, James O. Walker and W. R. Robertson; ? This " committee is to meet twice each month until the Glorious Fourth arrives and Is to get busy immediate ly; It Is proposed to do something re ally magnificent and the committee is expectedto supply the enthusiasm and other means for bringing to pass this great celebration , The evening concluded with a short address by' the new secretary, Mr. J. Leake! Carraway, who elicited the ap plause of the meeting by announcing a long list of new, members to the Greater Charlotte Club.: He also spoke a good word for the Charlotte Fair next week, and stated .that the fair management had just given away sev eral thousand complimentary tickets to the school - children of the 4 city, which Indicated a lofty and high pur pose on the part of the men at the helm, deserving ,the strongest sup port of the entire 'city.
