Small Fire in
the Postoffice
Oiled Rags Cause Spontaneous Com
bustiOn, with Slight Damage
to the Building.

Fire ives narrowly averted In the federal
building Thursday morning when s bunch
Of rags used by the Janitors IN wlping
floors became ignited. The rags were sat
urated with a highly inflammAble oil used
by janitors for polishing woodwork, and
after the morning cleanup these rags were
laid away in witness room on the third
floor, used at the present time for storage
purposes . .f.s
It is presumed that the rags ignited from
spontaneous combustion-at least there Is
no other logical theory in explanation. for
no matches had been struck in the room.
Attention to the baze was attracted by a
dense volume Of smoke which poured out
into the corridors and attaches OF the
building, seeing the smoke, began in in
vestigadon which led to the storage room.
The blaze had reached such strength that
large hole was burned in an oak base
board, and other parts of the woodwork
were visibly scorohed. No fire alarm was
turned in, the janitors eXtnguishing tho
flames with water and heavy broomS

DEALINGS IN U. S. STEEL EXPAND
Principal News from steel Trade
Statement by Iron Age that Buy
ing Of steel Rails Has
begun.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3-The speculative
element advocating higher prices for stocks
rallied their forces today and lifted quota
lions. The professed grounds for the
movement were the steel and copper trade
advices.
The dealings in United States Steel ex-
panded to a large volume, in the neighbor-
hood of 80, at which price stop-loss orders
from uncovered shorts seemed to be dis
lodged. At SOS, a new high level for the
movement, little business was done and
the whole market closed very dun on the
advance.
The principal news from the steel trade
consisted in the statement OF the Iron Age
that buying of steel rails by the railroads
for 1911 had begun.
On the side Of the copper trade there
were reports OF some Of the principal pro-
ducers holding for higher prices and OF
sales to foreign buyers OF large amounts
for delivery in December and January.
London reported a decline in the price
Of copper metal today ami this had the
effect of restraining the movement in cop
per securities.
The call money market did not show the
expected relaxation, the rate holding at
per cent or above for the first time In the
tau season. The weekly statement OF tho
Bank OF England disclosed a large reduc
ton Of other securities" reflecting re-
payments by the money market TO tho
bank by reason OF the easing Of the out
side money market.

in his own address to the meeting said:

Following Mt Kennedy's address the
members Of the congregational committee

over the 10000 mark. In the neignborhood
Of 1900 head were expected, all of the

Light lambs were especially hard to move

weeks close, while inferior kinds are slow

suffered less than lambs and good classes
show little, II any, weakness for the four

CATILE-There was about an average
run for Thursday and the general quail
iJy OF the offerings was much the same
as 1t has been all week. Offerings included
several loads of very decent cornfed beeves
great deal different than yesterday. De-
mand for western range beeves was very
! good and IN some cases prices looked a
| little stronger although taken as whole
the market for beef cattle cannot be called
much more than steady and the general
tone to the trade was much the same as
| 1t was towards the close Of last week.
| Cows and heifers were in very liberal
supply but there was a broad demand
( from all sources and prices ruled a Little
| longer for anything at all useful In the
way of either butcher or beef stock. Clos
! ing prices for cows and heiters are slightly
| stronger than they were at the close OF
| last week, and the undertone to the. trade
! Is undoubtedly firm. Just now the demand
| is chiefly for the cheaper grades of beef
! and for this reason cows are popular with
/ all classes Of buyers.
Business in stockers and feeders was
very dull. Supplies have been accumulat-
| ing this week in yard traders hands and
| although prices show decline Of fully
25c. the lower prices have little effect in
the way OF stimulating the country de-
| mand. Owing TO the recent decline In
| fat cattle prices, the demand for stockerS
and feeders has fallen off sharply of late
and the commoner kinds are hard to move
at any prices. 1t looks now as II quite a
few cattle would have to be carried over
| to next week owing to the lack Of demand.

CHICAGO Nov. 3.-Severe disappoint-
ment to believers in higher prices came to-
day in the wheat market. Largely because
of reports that the winter sown acreage in
this country is the largest on record the
close was heavy, at a net decline Of lSc
to 2U2hc. Corn finished hnSsc to nc under
last night and oats down no to nc. Latest
figures for hog products were unchanged
TO DC advance.
The biggest gain in winter wheat acreage
was said to be in Oklahoma. Win the
Increase there estimated at ~ per cent, in
diCaung a yield OF 3O,0OOOJO bushels, the
state promises to be one OF the largest
producers in the union next year. Ine
Minneapolis flour output decreased 1f0,UOO
barreis, as compared with the correspond
ing week a year ago Moreover, stocks
Of wheat there piled up 10000 bushels in
four days. The milling situation all over
stagnant. There appeared no prospect OF
any important export business in wheat
