L. j. ROSE ESTATE.
Practically ALI of It Bought in by
Farmers and Merchants Bank.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3.-Judge Shaw
to-day confirmed the sale of practically
all of the property belonging to the
estate of the late L. J. Rose, the once
millionaire horseman. The property
is heavily mortgaged. and the sale is
being made to avoid a foreclosure auc-
ton.
The petition of Amanda M. Rose, the
petitioner and Administrative, shows
that the Farmers and Merchants
Bank has a mortgage of $271, ,319.65 on
the estate, and it is averred that the
property at public auction might not
bring the amount of the mortgage.
Leave of the court was asked to ac-
cept a private offer made by the bank.
The bank is to pay Mrs. Rose $1,000,
and take the mortgaged property, re-
serving all rights, however, to continue
the foreclosure suit.
The property which will be thus con-
veyed includes vast amount of acre
age, besides the Rose House on Fourth
and Grand avenue, lots near Westlake,
and 500 shares in the Hotel Rose Com
pany.

morning with the plaintiff, Robert S.

by various persons believed it to be
Robert Mills. He was never so in
formed directly until the day of Mr.

him. Mills treated him as a father
would naturally treat a child. Adam

TO PREVENT sCALPING.
Passenger Agents Trying to Improve
the Local Situation.

Passenger agents of all the Chicago
lines running into st. Paul and a number
Of representatives of other lines centering
in the cities met at u o'clock yesterday
at the Ryan hotel to discuss a plan Of
organization which is proposed for St.
Paul railroad interests, for the purpose
Of taking concerted measures to stop the
leak which affords the city scalpers and
brokers with a supply Of Chicago tickets
and to form some kind of association for
the protection of business out of the cities
from the demOraliztng influences of cut
rates, sCalping and ticket manipulation.
The plan of organization, as outlined at
the meeting, cOntemplates an association
of the different passenger interests in
q pool operated for the sole purpose of
keeping the new passenger agreement
which goes into effect on Nov. 20 in force,
and preventing any further action on the
part of the St. Paul lines tending to pro-
woke or further disorganize rate condi-
lions. The association will make it's chief
object the maintenance of agreements.
Considerable attention will also be paid
to the operations of scalpers, and a cam
paign against them begun. The passen-
ger men expect to be able to prevent any
road entering st. Paul from issuing tick
cts to scalpers at figures lower than the
normal commissions would allow and to
prevent the sale of such transportation
IN future
The idea of an organization such as out
lined met with the hearty approval of the
different representatives without excep-
ton. Many expressions were voiced ind1-
eating that St. Paul agents are heartily
sick of such conditions as have prevailed
during the past three months, and are
ready at last to. lend their utmost eff
forts towards maintaining equilibrium in
passenger rate matters
No definite action was taken at the
meeting, though the plans were laid down
and discussed at length. An adjournment
was taken until Monday afternoon at 8
o'clock, when another meeting will be
held, at which definite action may be
expected Among the lines represented
were the Great Western, Burlington, 500.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Wheat today went
even lower than yesterdays bottom
price, closing A@&c lower on bearish
statistics and lack of cash demand.
Corn closed unchanged to Nc down, and
oats a shade lower. Provisions closed
lower January pork TIC.
The story of wheat today was one of
continuous liquidation, based on the bear
ish tone of statistics. The opening was
at a shade loss. This was the highest
price for the day. Receipts in the North
west were liberal; there was a prospect
of an increase in the visible Of 100000
blu, and In local stocks of 100000 The
cash demand was small.
With this array Of figures as an I'M
pulse the market eased off from the open
ing, going &c under puts, December to
67Hc, and May to Tic. There was a
mcmentary rally of a shade on buying
against puts. At the close there was con-
tinued buying against puts and some
covering by shorts, which put closing
figures at 671zc for December, and 711Sc
for May.
New York reported fifteen loads taken
for export. Clearances were liberal, 681,-
600 bu. Receipts at primary points, 1,017,
0S2 blu, against 1,599,S60 last year. Min
neapols and Duluth receipts, L. 39 cars,
as compared with 723 last week, and 1929
a year ago. Receipts here, Sc cars, % of
contract grade.
Corn stubbornly opposed travelling par
allel with wheat. In this 1t was assisted
by the statistics. There was q report Of
damage from frost and dry weather in
Argentine and Liverpool was firm. There
was a difference Of opinion concerning
country offerings, but a majority ap-
parently held that they were still small
and not increasing. December opened
unchanged at 31A931a6c, ranged to 311sQ
31Ac, and closed at 31A@313sc. May open
ed a shade down at 321Ac, ranged to $3.50
325hc, and closed at 323sQ321ac. Receipts
here were 231 cars; at primary points,
457, 600 blu.
There was quite a good trade in oats,
the selling of May by professionals and
commission people being the feature.
December sold at 224@223sc, and closed
at 22140 22asc. Receipts were 152 cars.
May closed at 23hc.
Provisions were dull, and the prices
tended downward, with wheat January
pork closed 712c lower at $3.50; January
lard, 212c under yesterdays close at
IS. 2215, and January ribs &c lower at
S4.95. There were few offerings and little
demand, and exports for the week show
ed up bad.
Estimates Monday: Wheat ITO cars;
corn, 300 cars; oats, 250 cars; hogs, 1900.

NEW YORK, Nov. u.-Today's bank
statement proved rather worse than the
most extreme estimate had foretold. The
loss In the cash reserves ran up to SIS, 217,-
ITO, whereas the extreme estimate had
been $4,500,O00 Some sanguine persons
had hoped that the cash losses would be
offset by loan contraction as high as
$12, OOO Instead of that, the decrease
In loans reached only s7,151, 100. AS this
only reduced the reserve requirements
to the extent of 81, 768, SEQ, the cash losses
have resulted in increasing the deficit
below the legal requirement to 50, 7SS, $50.
1t was not to be expected that so for
midable ali encroachment on the already
depleted reserves Of the banks should be
without effect, and prices gave way all
around. The losses in the railroad list
are strtkingly small, in spite of large
volume of dealings. This department of
fered stubborn resistance to the pres
sure, and there were evidently heavy
buying orders to be executed In the
specialties, especially those recently act
i've in speculation, the losses were more
severe. In Sugar, the coalers, the local
traction stocks, and principally Manhat-
tan, Tobacco and Tennessee Coaf, there
were wide breaches in prices Even in
these the bears were eager to cover at
the decline, and some sharp rallies were
achieved.
AS loans made OH Friday on the stock
exchange carry over until Monday to-
days market was nominal. Liquidation
was in anticipation of Mondays money
market, and was not forced by actual
calling of loans. Yesterdays large call
ing Of loans is probably not fully re-
fiected in the statement so that the ac-
tual condition of the banks may be slight
ly better than indicated, but The course
of the money movement makes the neces-
