The New York Evening Sun financial review today "said: Whilo the stock market todny re flected to some extent the varying un 'certainlies in the outcome of the pres idential election, tho same feeling which has prevailed throughout the campaign resulted little as a market factor, ns seen in today's trading. There was nn accumulation of buying orders over the election recess which were put through when the murket opened and which carried prices quick ly to higher levels. The trading was very brisk and the tono of the market buoyant in the first hour of the nftemoon session.

Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for a While If Your Bladder Troubles Yob - When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally meana you have been eating too mucu meat, says a well-known au thority! Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to inter it trom the blood and they become Bort of narolvzed and loerv. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must . relieve them, like you reiiev your bowels; removing all the body's urinous, waste, else you have backache, sick, headache, .dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, ana when the weather is bad you nave rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek .relief two or.' three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliablo physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with hthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri tates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver tor regular meat eaters.

Although the facts of the Arabia sinking were known in London early yesterday, the censors would not per mit publication of them, ft being pre sumably the government's purpose to avoid even an appearance of attempt to influence or sway the American presidential election." Officials hinted that thev wanted to elimiuato any pos sible change of it affecting yesterday's balloting in America, if the attack was mude with this in mind. Not Known Whether All Passengers Were Rescued Washington, Nov. 8.

A Capital Journal FOR RENT Ad at One Cent a Word will Get Yeu a Renter. New York, Nov. 4. It was not at nil surprising in view of tne ' numerous cross curernts that the market for stock exchange securities should have display ed a degree of irergularity this week, tn the first place is the important con sideration that the national political campaign has about reached its point of culmination; then there has been (2) the sinking of another trans-Atlantic stenmer with Americans on board under conditions suggesting at one time the possibility of a renewal of the subma rine controversy . between Washington and Berlin; (3) the successful offering of another large loan on behalf of the British government in this country; (4) the announcement of a second extra div idend of 1 per cent by the dicrctors of the United States Steel corporation and the publication ot another favorable re port of quarterly earnings; (5) the ad ditional importation of gold on a large scale, and (6) the continuance of the remarkable activity in industry and trade that has for so long a period been such an outstanding jind favoring feature, ihese are the more important news events of the week. The national election, as a factor, in a few days may be dismissed as an im mediate influence in the financial situa tion. The technical position that has been assumed by many market operat ors is that a success of the political party that for so long has been identi fied with the principle of a protective tariff would mean greater security for the .industrial corporations which had been so greatly benefited by the foreign demands incidental to the war. A pro tective tariff would tend to restrict in our home markets competition of the products of cheap labor in Europe. But the tariff in present circumstances can not well assume importance as an im mediate influence. Post-bellum condi tions involve many perplexing problems. Europe undoubtedly will require the re turn of a part at least of the gold that has been forwarded to this country, and will strain every effort to obtain it. This will mean exportation to us of products of foreign countries, or the ar rangement of additional loans on this side of the water. Meanwhile it is ob vious that with close to two billion dollars in short term obligations already placed by foreign countries in the Uni ted States during the war period, the repayment of these obligations will op erate against any arbitrary demands for the precious metal from abroad This more especially is the case when it is considered that in addition to granting these large loans our own investors have taken back a very large proportion of the American securities that for genera tions have been held in Europe. But the important point in connection with the results to be shown at the polls next Tuesday is that the attitude of either of the great political parties on the tariff is not likely to become an immediate factor in the stock exchange markets. The war is itself such a dominating in fluence that it tends to confine con sideration almost completely to such market factors as are likely to exert a prompt influence. Unfortunately, the ; termination of the European war may j hardly be connidered to occupy a posi- tion in this category. Hence the elec tion ns bearing on the tariff will for J practical purpose not be apt to act as a retarding influence on stock exchange i activities for the time being. J In the face of the irregularly that is so usually associated with the closing days of r national political campaign a remarkable investment ability that is not confined to any section but is na jtion wide has been demonstrated by the absorption of the .100,000,000 British ' notes that wero formally offered on Monday. So natisfactory were the sub- ! scriptions that the bankers decided to close the subscription books this morn ing, instead of keeping them open un til Tuesday next, as was the original plan. A similar indication o'f the ex tent of the investment demand has been i the activity that has been displayed on : the bond market. The sales of bonds on the exchange during the msnth of Oc : tober, for instance, had an ajigergate , par value of 14.'l,54:i,O00, which com pares with $104,122,500 in October last year aud onlv O.Hit'.SOO in October, 1113 (the exchange was closed for busi iness during October, 1914.) The quarterly statement of earnings by the United States Steel corporation I fell somewhat below exaggerated ideas i that had previously been curernt. The total of 0S5.S17,06i, however, establish- es a new high level, having exceeded the June quarter, heretofore the high per iod, oy more than 4.ooti,ooo. and leav mg a net surplus after allowing for the amount necessary ror the extra dm dend. of 51.859,450. These figures with out question may be acepted as a re sponsible and accurate index of the in dustrial activity that our country is en joying. , During the June quarter deliv eries .were at virtually the full capacity of the mills. Hence spectacular in creases in earnings, such ns many seem ed to expect, must have represented in large, measure effect of higher prices paid by consumers, rather than an ex pansion in the volume of products deliv-' ered. So long as the war's demands, continue there is not likely to be any important restriction of the steel trade. When hostilities end readjustments are inevitable; but, as I already have noted, there is slight tendency at the moment among operators to look for into the future. ' It is fortunate that caution is being displayed in banking and other conserv ative circles. Otherwise, with the case that is so clearly evident in the credit situation, there would be difficulty, in preventing the danger of a runaway market. Thoughtful persons Jwiow that with the intense activity in trade and industry, with the high wuges and the consequent enormous spending power of labor, and with the large profits of ' manufacturers, all these are merely the results o'f temjjrfrary conditions that sooner or later must assume a more nearly normal position. The commodity markets as well as securities are still moving upward. So long- as the war lasts there seems slight probability of a lasting reaction, as the foreign de mand, regardless of cost, is so insistent. It is difficult to see the end of this increasingly difficult situation that so freely affects conditions at borne. New enterprise is active, the war's demands still being a strong stimulant in this direction. Dunne October new companies to produce munitions, manu facture dyes and chemicals, operate ship ping companies ana develop oil ana gas resources were formed. with an aggre gate capital of $75,330,000, bringing the total of capitalization, for these and similar companies to a totnl of close to iltlU,000,000 durum the war nerioiJ. Railroad earnings still are hishlv uatia- factory- Comparisons, however, now are oeing made with a period of activity. Hence the same spectacular' increases (such as have been the rule when com parison was made with the lean vnnr of 1914) are not to be expeteed: ine marxet tor securities may be ex pected to witness active fluctuations, with a general trend governed by the tendency toward credit inflation. Large interests will pursue the usual course of periodically taking profits. There will, too, remain the usual danger of shocks that have been a constant feat ure during the war. . HENRY CLEWS.
