CHICAGO, Oct. 2s.-Wheat started easy but
has since shown a strength surprising to a
greater part of the trade. 1t is possible that
'the short interest had become too large and
that 1t has been more less disturbed by
the unmistakable strength shown in corn. The
market was a very nervous affair some OF
the December shorts trying to cover on some
OF the breaks that had been more frequent
and pronounced in the May delivery than in
the December. Any attempt to cover De-
cember has invariably dried up the offerings
and brought about rally.
Undeniable strength has developed in corn
following dull and weak start, There is a
large outstanding short interest in corn and
the market is also well filled with resting
orders to buy on a scale down. This has
brought spectators to the buying side and
there has not been today an adequate number
of selling orders.
Oats were little more active than yesterday
but the total trade was, nevertheless, OF small
volume and prices sympathized with the ad-
vance in corn.

Diversion Is Made Into Low Priced

[By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Growing dull
ness in the speculation in stocks was
more notable today than the tone of
the market, which was shifting ana
uncertain. Conditions we're pFopitious
to values and this induced some coY-
ering of outstanding, short contracts.
There was little beyond that, and the
days business in stocks and bonds
was on a diminished SCALE
There was the usual preponderance
of dealings in United States Steel and
there was a diversion into lew-prieed
stocks. This was partly due to causes
individual to the stocks affected and
partly due to an argument advanced
by the professional element that the
smaller money requirements of a spec
ulation in the low-priced stocks would
serve to recommend them during a
period of a Strengthened money mar
ket.
A growing spirit of caution was man
ifested in the speculation Bankers
were inclined to express more conti-
dence that danger of a money strin-
gency before the end of the year had
been averted. The opinion was heard,
nevertheless, that an attempt to revive
an active speculation at the present
time would be frowned upon by the
larger financial powers.
The supply Of money was more lib
eral and interest rates were shaded
both for call and time loans.
The conclusion of the London stock
market settlement without failures
was helpful to International markets.
Steel. trade advices supplementary to
the Quarterly report of the United
States Steel corporation we're regarded
as emphasizing the favorable features
of that report.
There was an awakened interest In
stocks connected with the copper in
dustry and there were reports of a
growing demand for the metal from
some of the foreign smelters. The ex-
citement in the cotton market served
to divert some speculative activity.
The sharp decline in the price of
New York, New Haven & Hartford,
following the decision to issue new
stock to stockholders at 125, had bad
effect. With other stock issues in
prospect the inference from this was
unfavorable.
The bond market was pronouncedly
dull and price movements were some
what erratic where efforts were made
to market inactive issues.

the United States, the eagle being life
size and the othe" details of the coat of

presidential flag is due principally to the
fact that the eagle. with long outstretched
wings. and the other intricate details of
the coat of arms must all be embroidered
by hand, using the finest grade of en-
broidery silk, costing 50 a pound. This
