3nov29 Every Thursday More Cheerful Sentiment h Jphown In Business Circle; r New York, Nov. S—Business sentiment, while still inclined to linger on the cautionary sidelines, assumed a conspici • ously more cheerful aspect dur ing the pa-1 A ek. The advance, in commodity prices, especially in wheat have renewed hope that trade gener ally would soon make real prog ress in climbing out of the ditch of depression. The effect of increased pur chasing power among the vast agricultural communities of the country was widely expected to lie relleeted in many lines. This, of course, it was pointed out, depends to a considerable-!ex tent bn the advanced comniodi tv prices being maintained. Many optimistic-leaders were convinced that thfe. wheat bulls ■are playing the market on fact ; that there will be a real world wheat shortage during the coming year and that the American farmer will have ac tual money to buy the necessi ties and luxuries he has,been fpreed to forego,-, - There were other observers, however, who were inclined to view somewhat skeptically the upturn in wheat, silver, oil and other conimoc it \- prices-. They feel that live advances have IxfCp out of proportion to world •conditions and that the great '‘prosperity wave,” which has been predicted, is still distant Jn the future. VVhilt reports during the week showed a considerable in crease in commercial failures, at the same time freight car loadings exhibited a fair sea sonal increase; electric power output was up a little: there was a slight rise in steel pro dywtion with indications ofon larged operations for the month and silk and cotton consump tion displayed noticeable sea sonal advances and petroleum production was under that of a year ago with prices tending to firm. • After a slump that has been continuous since last March, the steel industry is beginning * STONEVILLE We are worry to note* the sad accident that occurred here on Sunday morning, when Mrs, Waiter Smith lost control of her car and ran into a pole on her way To church, breaking one knee and badly injuring the other.

P. to set; light in the darkness. The production increase dur ing the week was mainly in the Pittsburgh district but the rise in commodity prices brought a ti ueh improved sentiment to tlic mills. Enlarged automobile manufacturing schedules are expected and it is hoped that, the railroads may he able to come into the market for new equipment which they sadly need. ' Wholesale and retail trade picked up.*duri.ng th® week, due principally to cooler weather in most of the cities of the coun try stimulating the buying of winter supplies. Clothing is mentioned iriosf 'prominently as ttife outstanding seller of the past seven days. Most of 1 lie shopping districts, however, estimate the volume of business below that of last year. In New York city the sale of women’s shoes was the only line report ed! as equaj to 1931. The wool market in Boston was firmer and in Philadelphia t he wool ..and cotton trade was more or less quiet. Share manu facturing picked Up slightly a lid hides and leather displayed a I niter tone. The demand in most lines continues to center •hr. a inly on special orders; Much of the fall arid winter business in textiles still remains to be done and wholesalers and re tailers are not Without hope that the trade for the balance of the year wll be large. . In print cloth, sheeting and medium weight lines of mer chandise, production continu ed fairly large, In the heavy goods division, however, the output is still much under nor mal. Millinery appeared to be in good demand as well as wo men V winter ctresses. • . Considerable optimism was expressed in petroleum circles, especially in the mid-continent field where crude prices were stronger and efforts to restrict production have been meeting with success. Refined stocks were below the normal and gas oline prices firmer. • . Poole. Rev. and Mrs. Henry Willis and baby of Madison were din ner guests of Mrs. .J. I). Carter Sunday. Rev. D. W.

Pou Urges Harmony Upon The Democrats North Carolinian Says That Party Must Stick Together In Future—Much Dickering Now Washington, Nov. 8—Har mony, at aaiy cost was urged' upon house Democrats Satur day by their dean, Representa tive Pou of North Carolina. Much dickering.over commit• tee chairmanships and assign ments has sprung up since he Democrats ascended to control because of deaths and elections in recent weeks. Northern Democrats also feel that the leadership should go north of the Mason-1 tixon line, since the speakership nomina tion is destined for Representa tive John N. Garner of Texas. A veteran of 15 consecutive Congresses, Pou, who would re sume the chairmanship of the powerful rules committee after 13 years of Republican cent rol. said he would “give up the chairmanship if it was neces sary to preserve harmony ip our ranks." “With the Democrats likely to elect a President next year we should be willing to make" personal sacrifices in Order to preserve harmony,” the North Carolinian said. “The southern Democrats al ready have adopted a gener ous attitude toward the north ern Democrats on committee assignments. The tradition of seniority' has not always pre vailed In organization, but un doubtedly the southern ranking, committee members will feel they are entitled to the chair manships.’’ Pou expressed confidence that the differences would be coposed. In this he was joined bv Representative Sol Bloom of New York, who today conferred with the Tammany leader, John Curry, of New York City. Cur ry was here on a personal visit to a son at Georgetown univer sity. * Bloom said he did not dis’ cuss. organization with Curry, but added tha,t “we New York Democrats will go down'* flic line with the other Democrats on organization as wo always have," CHRISTMAS CARDS Do not purchase your Christ mas cards until you inspect the handsome line now on dis play at The Messenger office.
