SOME SLIGHT DECLINES.
Weakness Manifested in Sugar, Corn
and Hog Products.

Weakness Manifested in Sugar, Corn,
and Hog Products.
New York, Oct. 21.--Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade reports are rather more irreg-
ular, but industry is still at higher
tension Colder weather now advanc-
ing is reported stimulating retail trade
and influences recorder business with
jobbers Bank clearings now compare
with large totals a YEAR ago and gains
are small, in fact, strifing.
Industrials still feel the impetus of
an unprecedented fall demand. Iron
and steel are active as never before at
this late date and prices still tend up
ward. Building is active beyond prec-
edent, both in the large cities and the
country.
The price situation is strong as a
whole, though some weaknesses, as in
sugar. corn, hog products, and raw silk
and quiet in other lines of raw mater
ial point to the demand having been
satisfied.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week ending October 10 are 2,S31,-
4S2 bushels, against 1,0S6,462 this week
last year. From July to date the ex-
ports are 22,7O5,435 bushels, against
20, 1927 last year. Corn exports for
the week are 776,435 bushels, against
797,S9S a year ago. From July to
date the exports of corn are 17,269,32
bushels, against 9,S45,777 in 1904.

Iowa Girl on Way to Korea as Mission.
airy Has Strange Romance.
LaPorte, Oct 21.--Like a book ro-
nance was the experience of Miss Floy
Donaldson, while on her way from this
city to Seoul, Korea, as a missionary.
She was shipwrecked off the coast OF
Japan and rescued by the man whom
she married three days afterward.
Miss Donaldson YVES on the Japanese
steamship Anto M aru en- route to
Korea during dark, stormy night, just
two weeks ago. The steamer struck
a rock and in moment the seas were
awash over her decks, the hull filling
with water and the waves pounding the
vessel to pieces. A life preserver was
thrown to her and the life boat began
filling. Miss Donaldson stood on the
deck until the life boat was nearly fill
ed. AS she stepped in a half-crazed
Korean, wild with terror, leaped from
the steamer into the boat, capsizing t
and throwing the twenty-four occu-
pants into the water. Rev. Wade
Rooms saw a hand lifted out of the
dark waters and grasped it. 1t proved
to be the hand of Miss Donaldson,
with a Korean woman clinging to her
waist. and Chinanaan clinging to the
Korean woman. Subsequently all were
rescued and landed on the coast OF
Korea. Three days later, within sight
of the bloody Manchurian battleheld'
the couple were married.
