STOCK MARKET
SLACKENS PACE.
DAYS SALES FALL BELOW
AVERAGE TOTAL
CASH HOLDINGS OF BANKS is
STILL DIMINISHED
Call Money Branch Less Affected, De-
mands Having Subsided with
Liquidation of Various
Securities
[By Associated Press.l


NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The stock market
relapsed into quletude today the day
sales falling to the smallest total In over a
week There active selling during the
morning in continuation Of liquidation. The
accumulation of orders over the holiday was
mostly on the selling side, and these came
both from home and foreign sources.
The low prices that resulted during the
first hour were lower generally than In the
active selling on Monday, and consequently
the lowest touched on the reaction.
Cash holdings OF the New York banks
continues to diminish before the demands
of the interior for currency. The tighten
ing of the money market was operative n
the loan division today, where bid rates for
most maturities were advanced to IL per
cent, and the asking rate to o. Prime grades
of commercial paper commanded 4% a ..
Stock brokers who have depended on call
loans in the confidence that money would
remain easy throughout the fall, are active
bidders for time loans.
The call money branch was less affected,
the demand there subsding with the stock
market liquidation which has been effected.
Foreign money markets continued to utter
their warning against further inroads from
American borrowers by putting up discount
rates
Private discount rates in London rose
well above the bank rate, pointing clearly
to the prospect of another rise in the bank
rate tomorrow.
Strength in Missouri, Kansas & Texas was
said to be due to accumulation, but the de-
mand died out when the general movement
turned upward. The southern storm and
the western cold wave with the property
damage involved were not in favor of
values.
The market later had somewhat steadier
appearance, but last sales were only below
the best
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, s3,S3O,000. Government bonds were
unchanged on call.

COUNTY ENRICHED BY 10000 ACRES
Of NEW AGRICULTURAL LAND

Ten thousand acres af land which
heretofore have been considered val
ueless for anything except for grazing
land and many acres of which were
thought good for nothing at all have
been put under cultivation during the
ton and the most of it has been with
In radius of ten miles Of Pilot Rock
This fact has not been generally
known until recently.
The value Of the land in the Pilot
Rock region has been increased slow
ly but steadily in the last few years
and the crops raised there are in
creasing every year. Only few
years ago the land in that vicinity
was considered almost worthless and
only the poorest class of farmers
would till it. They stayed with it
however, and their persistency has
been rewarded to a considerable ex-
tent. A number of these farmers are
now Independent and own handsome
homes both on their farms and in
as well as other places.
As has been the case in a number
Of similar instances, both in Oregon
and in the famous wheat belts of
Kansas and Nebraska where the soil
was at first arid, the staying qualities
Of the people kept them at an almost
hopeless task, but as the soil was
turned over and effort after effor:
was made to compel the land to
yield, the rains finally came and now
the land is of the most productive
nature.
