Something to Discuss.

The officers of the Civic Federation
at Chicago have sent out a series of
questions the answers to which are ex-
pected to furnish data for the national
meeting September 1916.
These questions have been placed in
the hands of railway officials, labor and
commercial men, merchants, contrac-
tors, lawyers, bankers and economists.
Governor Stanley has also received
them.
The object of these questions is to
obtain information concerning consoli-

Low VS.. LELAND.
Railroad Man May Contest With the
Kansas Boss.

There seems to be developing among
the Republicans of this state a senti-
ment in favor of NJ. A. Low for nation
al committeeman. There is considera-
bic talk of this character but the
friends of Cyrus Leland who now oc-
cupies the position scout the idea and
say that Mr.. Low will not go into the
fight.
The Horton Headlight says:
1T is very likely that NJ. A. Low will
be made national committeeman from
Kansas next campaign. He is a strong
er man politically than is Mr.. Leland
and then he will not stoop to such low
politics and would make a much better
reDreSentatiYe.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-The Commercial Adver-
Users London financial cablegram says: The
stock market here opened weak to-day and went
fiat early on the announcement of an advance
in the bank rate of discount from ga to AZ per
cent. The advance was made by. the governors
Of the Bank of England on their own RESPONSE
bility because Of the rise in the rate at Berlin
Of from 8 TO s per cent. There was no panic and
little excitement in the market. but il was de-
cfdedly weak, although there was a slight re-
bound finally. Lord Rothschild, despite the crit
ical state OF affairs In the Transvaal, told his
friends this morning that there would be no war.
Consols were down to 101% for money and 1925
for the November account. At the close to-day
they were 1925 for money and 102A for the ac-
count. Americans began fiat and went from Il
10 l point under PARTIES. New York bought. but
the close was fiat near the worst. Berlins Were
favorites. and Northern Pacific. Union Pacific
and Canadian Pacific were most depressed. A
money squeeze Is expected there. Two hundred
and fifty thousand pounds in gold was taken out
for Egypt. $4,000 for Peru, and f93, 600 in bars
We're bought by the bank.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
With the Beginning of the Month
There Il Larger Trade and Activity.

Merchants generally report an increased bus
iEess. with collections better than for several
years. but margins for profits are small. Trav-
cling statesmen report a good feeling prevailing
among retail merchants in the country which
purchases supplies from Indianapolis houses. The
weather has been favorable for some time for
fall crops. Commission men In the produce line
report an increased business. attributed in part
to the cooler weather. which caused an increased
demand for nearly all kinds of goods In their
line. A good many people have commenced to
put away apples, potatoes. and other vegetables
for winter. Apples of good quality are selling
at reasonable prices. Poultry easier. Eggs in
good request and firm. There is quite a boom
In the clover seed market; thought to be chiefly
speculative. but IL is generally admitted that
the crop will be short. The hide market is more
active; prices firm. Further advances in the
prices of leather are indicated. The dry goods
market is active. with prices tending higher.
Confectioners are having a brisk trade. with
prices firm. The opinion prevails that canned
goods are to be higher than last year.
The local grain market shows a little more ac-
tivity. Local dealers complain Of receipts as not
being equal to the demand. Track bids yester-

Wool.

LONDON. Oct. 3.-The offerings at tie wool
auction sales to-day amounted to LAB bales.
The tone was steady, with prices ruling at the
late decline. Medium coarse stock was rather
easier. The recent slackening in the demand Is
attributed to manufacturers having filled their
requirements. The prospect Of dearer money Is
causing many merchants and spectators to sus-
pend operations for the time being. Secured
merinos were taken chiefly by the home trade.
Many bales of medium New South Wales and
Queensland were withdrawn. Locks and pieces
were easily disposed OF at a very small decline.
Greasy merhnos sold steadily to French and Ger
man buyers. Cross-breds were III large supply,
and as the quality was fine competition was
spirited. Medium greasy was irregular owing to
the withdrawal of American support. Coarse
stock was taken principally by the home trade
at prices on a level with yesterdays decline.
Slipes were largely withdrawn Following are
the sales: New South Wales, LOO bales; secured.

as a telegraph operator, was promoted to
be train dispatcher. and then became suc.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-No abatement of strength
in the cotton goods market. Sellers are reserved
in all directions. Raw cotton makes them uneasy
and they are unwilling to take forward contracts
to any extent. Brown sheetings and drills scarce
and advancing. Fine brown and gray goods tend
ing against buyers. Bleached I'm good request
at the advanced prices. Coarse colored goods
strongly held. Prints show more business doing.
Ginghams scarce and strong. Mems wear wool
ems and worsteds quiet and unchanged. Jobbing
trade here good.

Metals.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Little of interest trans
pired in the local metal market to-day. From
start to finish buyers and sellers were indiffer-
ent; spelter alone showed the least degree of firm
ness, due more to favorable cable and other news
than to improved demand or any special efforts
of holders to improve their position. Tin dis
played a certain amount of weakness under sheer
absence of support. At the close the Metal Ex-
change called pig iron warrants duh and nom-
inal at SIS: lake copper dull and easy with 81. soc
bid and 80. 25c asked; lead quiet with 4.60c bid
and 4.65c asked: spelter frmer with 5. 40c bid and
Soc asked. The brokers' price for lead is 4.40c
and for copper 1SAsG1sl2c.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-Lead dull at 4.50G4 52lsc.
