f All Signs Point 1 to More Activity — V in Business Now Slock Market as Barometer of General Conditions Is Impressive in Action; Tremendous Trade. Ilj- RICHARD SPILLANK. Iiiivei-sal Service Financial Editor. New York, Nov. 1C.—Every sign points to much more1' activity In business. To those who look upon the stock market as one of tile best 1 irometers of general conditions its . ct'un recently must he impressive. There has been a tremendous pur chasing of stocks and bonds since ( lection. This is reflected in the re port of the New York clearing house showing a decrease in surplus of J10C.9S3.870 in the Inst week and an increase of $137,152,000 in loans and discounts. If this large movement in slocks continues an advance in loan Kites may be expected. Exports continue on a great scale. The demand for cotton and the grains lias been imperative. A decline In the call for cotton is predicted but Europe's needs for our grains have not as yet been filled. One evident result of the election is confident buying of materials as well as of securities. Various manufac 1 urers report more orders received in 10 days since election than in the previous month. Distribution of dry goods last week was well above the preceding week. In the steel industry the tone Is de (idedly confident. Railroads continue their remark able proofs of financial strength by steady reports showing Improving volume of traffic with lower ratio of cost. Improvement In the copper indus try Is rapid. Foreign and domestic demand has broadened greatly and with it prices have advanced until it begins to look really promising for the producers. Business of chain store and mail order houses is excellent. Mall order people are especially busy because of ihe large buying of the agricultural population. Much of this buying was overdue, having of necessity been postponed owing to poor returns from the grains last week. Evidence of what a change has been wrought In the position of the farmer comes In a reyort from Fort Worth, Tex. Much has been told of the distress of the grain farmers of the Dakotas and neighboring stales in the last few years owing to poor ( rops and low prices. Texas fann ers have not fared so badly as those of the dry farming country, but they i have known dilficulties, financial und . agricultural. Now comes the state ment that farmers In the Fort Worth territory are looking for outlets lor their surplus funds. The Dallas fed eral reserve bank loans have been re duced in the last 60 days practically to a minimum. That Fort Worth report is .-tressed because it indicates so much. So lung as the agriculturist prospers, in dustry prospers. The men of the hoe make tip the largest individual group (f the national family. They have good buying power this year—and big i needs. It is the confident prediction "f I very good observers that the count!y i on the whole is entering upon a i period of large expansion, industrially j und commercially. Whether this j propljecy Is correct remains to be seen. But there is no question as to Hie signs of betterment through.u the com try. Furniture Store Sold. S;i#*i*l»l Di-c.itrli to T!i * Omaha 1%-r.

He is discharged from hi; position and he goes to Holiy • ood. ifp is on the verge of despair •Iron Ik* meets "Flips" n comedienne (Viola Dana). The rude awakening o realities that follow and his myriad of strange experiences form the rest of the plot. The film Is a satiri cal rdmedy, chock full of laughs, chuckles and grins. Mr. Hunter Is Merton to the life. His gawkiness, his crude naturalness and his terrific sincerity are typical of the average, small town movie struck boy. Miss Dana, In her sympathetic Interpreta tion of "Flips” proves an ideal per son for the part. Cruze has added another to his many triumphs. At the Rialto. "The Border Legion,” the film showing at the Rialto theater this week is an unusually absorbing Zane Grey western with a remarkable stamp of realism. Several of Mr. Grey's stories have been adapted for the screen but we doubt If any of them proved to lie better screen ma terial than this one. It Is a picture that has all the acting and punch typical of western stories, but at the same time there Is something which compels the Interest and focuses the attention which is bigger and better than usual. This may he due to the fact that it Is a true story, as the author vouches for the fact that It was an actual occurrence In the career of a well known bandit of the old west. The central character Is the bandit chief himself, portrayed by Rochcllffc Fellows, who never be fore have we seen In quite as good a characterization. A terror, who steals and kills without compunction, he still has his good aide which Is awakened by a girl. Disappointment may he felt when you find that he does not finally win the girl, but you are truly sorry when he lias to die to protect her from a cold blood ed villain. But after all things are liable to turn out this way In real life. Antonio Moreno, whom we are used to seeing ns the rentrnl figure in romance, is somewhat, at n dined vantage from a romantic standpoint, but he capably portrays the hero. Helene Chadwick fulfills the require ments of the heroine In a noble fash ion and Gibson Oowlnml ns the heavy villain gives a fine perform ance. Against mountainous back grounds, the director has turned out not only a. good story, hut one re markable for It's scenic beauty. At the Sun. A faithful transposition to the screen Is Marshall NeUan's produc tlnii of Thomas Hardy's novel. "Tess of the D'UrbervlHea,” showing at the Hl^i theater this week. Here Is a pic ture that all drama—a heart ap pealing story which will apiteal espo • tally to women, hut will !«*. enjuvod by the majority of audiences. The picture tells a story of a country maiden in Wessex. England, who falls a victim to the brutalty of a wealthy and unscrupulous young man. Later, Tess meets and marries tho man she really loves—only to he deserted by him when he finds out about her un fortunate past. Irc-ft alone In pov erty, she is again victimized by her original lover, who compels her to return to him, where she lives in luxury. It Is then that the repent ant husband returns and precipitates the tragedy that follows. The only change that Nellan has made in the story is to advance the timo to the present day, which makes it far more interesting, lie has Invested it with pictorial beauty, the exterior scenes having been shot In authentic loca tions, developing the plot in scenes that gratify the eye as well ns grip the mind. Blanche Sweet is unu sually sweet and brings to her role as "Tess” the ability which she has shown in her career as a star. Inci dentally. Miss Sweet is the wife of Marshall Neilan in real life. ‘Tess of the D'Urbervilles” is the first pic ture since their marriage in which she has appeared under her hus band's direction, and her happiness In the combination reflects in her por trayal. Conrad Nagel is well suited to the role of ”\ngel Clare” and does some nice work. Stuart Holmes, famous as a screen villain, Is a real and convincing figure as Alec D’L'r berville. George Fawcett and Cour tenay Foote are other prominent players In the film. At the Moon. In “The Reckless Age," at the loon theater for the week. Reginald Denny does a little bit of everything t that he has done before, from staging a sensational fight to a mad race In .'.n automobile, only this time he does it in an atmosphere of laughs. The (ilm is a screen adaptation of Earl Derr Rigger's Saturday Evening Rost story, “Love Insurance,"' and com prises an hilarious series of compli cations surrounding a nobleman who took out insurance against failure to marry an helresSt Denny is the In surance agent sent to protect the policy, who has to protect the scion of nobility from a breach of promise RUit, blackmailers, diamond thieves and other troubles. Of course, there Is romance in the story. The cast Is well chosen. Ruth Dwyer Is a charming heiress and William Austin is good as the English nobleman. Harry Pollard, who produces Denny In his "leather pusher"' stories. Is responsible for the good direction. The ninth chapter of "Into the Net" Is shown in connection with the fea ture picture. At the Empress. "Clouds and Sunshine," the mu sical comedy offering at the Empress theater this week, Is the story of a small town fighting pnrson. It of fers plenty of musical numbers, with a background of country girls In their ginghams, *rhen, too, the com rany introduces a new member this week In (he iiersonage of Lillian Bes sent, who comes with a reputation as a "blues” singer nnd Ingenue. Bert Evans has the role of "Joe Tucker," the pastor of a small rural church, and proves his versatility ns a stock player. Rudy Wlntner is "Joslali Rumble,” who has a hectic love af fair with "Samantha Breesc. ' played by May Bell I-a Couver. Rudy's love making commonds a lot of real laughs. Joe Marlon, as usunl, has a funny role, this time as a chore boy. and he takes advantage of the oppor tunity to extract fun In every In stance. Red Wllholt breaks in oil a heavy role, playing tho part of an ex-convict ami does well In it. Helen Burke ns "Susie Green,” n school girl, and Olga Brooks as a young schoolmarm, are material for the gossipy little town and do nice work. The specialties are all good.

For Constipation, Biliousness, Headache Bullish Stock Market Drives Up Bond Prices Quotations Sent to High Level for Year—Investors Said to k’Be Hungry for New Issues."’ By t^nrlntni l*rf«. New York, Nov. 18.—Bullish en thusiasm in Wall street, which brought an impressive boom In tho stock market last week, was com municated to bond trading, sending prices to tho highest level of tho year under tho leadership of high yielding railroad issues. The advance, how ever, was Interrupted by profit taking and speculative Interest to stock In terests coincident with a stiffening of the time money rates. Many new high records were estab lished by seml-speculatlve railroad ob ligations which overcame realizing sale* and scored net gains of l to 5 point* for tho week. The upswing In this list followed in the wake of the rally In rail shares, with growing Indications that restoration of confi dence In the railroad outlook would be reflected in better earnings and more constructive dividend and mer ger developments. Heavy Demand for Kail*. Standard investment Issues shared in the enormous demand for rail se curities, buying orders embracing such liens as New York Central 6s, Atchison general 4s, Illinois Central. Northern Pacifia and Pennsylvania mortgages. The heaviest buying, however, was concentrated on the lower priced bonds. Katy adjustment 5s led the entire list with a gain of almost 5 point* on s remarkable turnover of more than *5,000,000 dur ing the week. Other conspicuous spots included Frisco, Seaboard, International Great Northern, Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Minneapolis & St. Louis, Chicago & Alton and Norfolk * Southern liens. Several of the New Haven issues reached new high levels on report* of progress In the railroad’s refunding plans. Lull In New Offering*. The lull In new financial offering.*, imposed partially by the shift of Wall street's interest to speculative mar ket activities continue.!. New bond offerings aggregated *43,000,000, an increase, of about *10,000,000 over tho preceding week. As a result of the reduced volume of business, the in vestment market was described as hungry for new issues. Among the offerings suggested for next week is a *15,000,000 block of Sinclair Con solidated Oil corporation C per cent bonds, and *11.500,000 Cleveland Elec tric Illuminating company 30-year 5s.

World Is Facing Wheat Shortage, It Is Apparent Market Hulls Seldom So Con fident of Position—Corn Looks Very Strong: < >ats Trail Up. ISy < II Mil l s .1. millA, 1'nlversttl Srri!(■»* SI 'Iff ( 'orreMpondr* I, Chicago, Nov, 1fi.—That the world In facing n shortage of wheat tlrfs year becomes more apparent each day. Aside from the United Slates othcr^important surplus countries will or have raised less grain. Can ada nnd Argentina combined, statis tic* show, will have at least 250,000. 000 bushels less wheat for sale than a year ago and it Is highly question able if tho United States can satisfy this deficit even though domestic yields are plentiful. It is generally figured the world surplus will total somewhere between 700.000. 000 and 750,000,000 bushel* with requirements easily at the out ride figure. The Argentine govern ment la^e in the wgek issued its pi ll minary estimate, placing tiie wheat crop at 101,000,000 bushels, or 50 000,00(1 bushels less than last years harvest. The Canadian government has figured the crop in that countrt at 271,000,000 hushels compared with 474.000. 000 bushels in 1023. Up to November 1 the I ni'ed Staten cleared between 118,000,iKo and 120,000,000 hushels wheat and flour. October clearances alone were 50.000. 000 bushels. November ship ntents promise to be as large if not | larger. It is evident that we w ill hn'v I cleared tit least 100,006.00# btllhfA fl by January 1. This will leave ■ j month* to distribute the batatas- | our surplus, not ov -, lOO.WW,'**** 't liushels.
