 Trade h oats were sxtrsmsly active and sentiment in the pit waa bearish throughout the entire day. Several of the leading commission houses were free sellers and cash interests also sold freely. The principle factor in the situation was the break in corn. The close was easy with prices 1-s to 1-4 10 1-4c lower.
 Provisions were moderately firm early in the day, owing to q five cents advance in live hogs. which brought out some buying by local packers. La- ter, this demand subsided and prices recfded considerably from the high point. The close was steady with prces sc higher tN sr lower.

to reach that section futile, much
concern is felt for the safety OF New
Orleans and the neighboring gulf
points. The storm had its origin be-

the gulf coast today. At 4 O'Clock 1t
was blowing fifty miles an hour, and
at 5 o'clock buildings were suffering
and it was reported that inhabitants
in PIaouemine having been driven
from their homes, where there was
danger to their lives. AT nine o'clock
tonight the last wire went down. Inc
last reports said the storm was grow

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 20.-Presi-
dent Taft spent a little moro than
four hours in DeS MOines today and
made an open air address to an i'm
mense crowd gathered from all the
surrounding country, in which he dis
cussed in detail the changes he will
recommend to congress, in the inter
state commerce and antitrust laws.
He announced that he would urge
the establishment Of an interstate
commerce court of five members to
consider appeals from rates fixed by
the interstate commerce commission.
He will also recommend legislation
to prevent one interstate railroad
company from owning stock in q COM
peting line and compelling roads thus
owning such stock to dispose Of their
holdings within a given time.
Legislation to prevent the over is
sue OF stocks and bonds and the wa
tering of stocks, Will be strongly
recommended, the presidents propo-
sition being that no stocks or bonds
shall be issued except by permi
of the interstate commerce commits
sion after an inquiry has been made
into their necessity.
The giving to shippers Of the choice
or routes in the shipment Of freight
Is another important provision which
the president favors.
The president declared he knew OF
no way In which a distinction could
be made between good" and bad"
trusts.
He discussed the proposal to ex-
cept labor unions and farmers organ
izations from the operation of the
anti trust law.
To specify these organizations, he
declared, would be vicious legislation,
but he pointed a way in which they
could be relieved OF some of the oner-
GUS restrictions now placed upon
them. He held them to be amenabIa
to injunctions.
The president left here at 11:0S a
m for Omaha.
