Since the re- election of President Coolidge a total of 18,717,732 shares of stock have been dealt in on the New York Stock Exchange. In the week ended at noon Saturday the transaction ag- | gregated 11,527,132 shares, a fig- | ure which has been exceeded but | twice before in the history of the market in the so-called panic weeks of May 4th and May 11th, 1901. During the six trading days of the | last week there were four successive days on which the volume of stocks dealt in on the Stock Exchange ex- ceeded 2,000,000 shares. On Friday and 'again Saturday the volume of dealings slackened moderately, but still was far above what Wall Street has come to consider normal market --that is, 1,000,000 shares of stock in a five hour day. The advance, as calculated from the average of fifty representative shares, was slightly less than five points. Wall Street Estimate. It is difficult to caloulate the dol- lars and cents value of these ad- vances, even of stocks listed on the Stock Exchange, because the ad- vances have been so uneven, some of the small, low priced issues ad- vancing but fractionally, while the high priced issues in some cases have rolled up advances exceeding twenty points, Even could this cal- culation be made, it would fail to take measure of the large number of shares dealt in on the curb and on the Consolidated Exchange and MUSSOLINI ACCORDED Were Only 8ix Contrary Votes. Rome, Nov. 17.--After four days of listless and uninteresting debate in which the deputies, owin§ to the absence of the Opposition, were re- duced to cheering ome another's | speeches, with what show ot fervor and enthusiasm they could muster, the Chamber approved Mussolini's foreign policy, and confirmed its confidence in him by 316 votes to 6, with 26 abstentions. The importance of the vote was increased by the fact. that Mussolini made a brief statement tc the Chamber in which he declared that the vote was one . of general confid- ence in his cabinét,-and not merely of approval of his foreign policy. The only contrary votes were cast by the veteran ex-Premier Glolitti and his few followers. The ex-pom- patants and Liberal followers of ex- Premier Salandra and a group of "mutilated" or representatives of the federation of permanently disabled during the war, voted in favor of the government. Export of Liquor Engages Attention of Governments Toronto, Nov. 17.--Export of H- quor from Canada 'to the United States is now engaging the close at- tention of both federal governments and Ontario authorities as well as the people of both countries. Hon. Jacques Bureau, minister of customs and excise, has just paid a visit to goveral cities adjacent to the U, 8. and on Saturday provincial police considered the situation in relation to law emforgement along the bor- der. A dry navy for the province has been mooted.

It has not been in stocks alone that the bullish activities have been| centred. The grain markets in par= ticular have been active and strong despite the reaction at the end of! the week. The same may be said of the cotton market, wherein a tre- mendous daily turnover has taken] . place. In the foreign exchange mar- ket, too, sterling and francs, both popular vehicles for speculative en-| deavors, have been particularly ace! tive and strong, with sterling. at| $4.64 at the middle of the week, making its best price since mid-suni-| mer of 1923. oy The stories going thé rounds of; certain individuals making tremen--| dous fortunes in the last ten days! ate to be taken with a grain of salt, Many persons, of course, have made: a great deal of money in the stock. market since the election of Presi- dent Coolidge, but this is not un- usual.

Many other corpora-| tions engaged in basic industries are! speeding up on orders received since the 'election. Should this prove a stable and substantial re- turn to normal gonditions of in- dustrial operation,' there is little doubt, at least in the speculative mind, that prices--and at least stock prices----w]ill keep pace with! the improvements. TORIES MAY INCREASE SEATS IN ONTARIO ---- Toronto, Nov. 17.--The Star says? Indications are not lacking that ths' government is contemplating the in- | troduction at the next session of the, legislature, of a redistribution bill; for Ontario, which will change the boundaries of the Toronto ridings) for the provincial house as they now stand, as well as In all probability considerably increase this city's number of representatives. In the legislature. It is more than tem years since there has been any redistribution of Ontario seats, and Conservative party followers think it is high time that something should be done. The Dominion government is compelled by law to bring about a readjust- ment of the ridipgs in Canada every ten years, and as a rule, without any compulsion at all, the Ontario legis- lature makes a shake-up of Ontario ridings at about the same interval. Besides that the Conservative party have fresh in their minds the lessons to be léarned from the re- cent plebiscite vote, and from the electign which resulted in the estab. lishment of the Drury government. The latter vote was nothing less than a debacle for the Conservative party, even {a Tory Toronto, where the Conservatives lost six seats. Now that they are in power the Conservatives 'can be trusted to do what they can to carve out good safe seats for themselves, wherever possible. Rev, H. H, MacPherson Dead. Guelph, Nov. 17.--Rev. H.
