SMALL DEALING
IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A shrink
age today in the total transactions
in the stock market coupled with
a marked rise in the proportion of
the dealings in u. S. steel had
some connection with the feeling
of suspension engendered toward
the market operations in that
stock
The price was lifted at one
time to S0A, which is higher than
it has been since April last. The
individual transactions at that
level pointed to an almost exclu-
sive participation by operators of
large caliber. The burden of
realizing sales at that point also
aroused doubts Of the prosperous
progress of the movement for the
rise.
The general list moved closely
in sympathy with L. s. steel, the
days transactions in which the
stock reached 1SS,s00 shares out or
a. total for all stock of $4,000
shares. The dealings in Union
Pacific and Reading combined
were less than the dealings IN
steel A sharp relapse when steel
fell back, was followed by slow
tie change on the day. The days
subtreasury statement showed So
$4,000 of cash Withdrawals from
the banks for the week. There
was anOtHeT Sl.UbV.pbb III SOA0 Gil
gagged for export to Canada.
Money on call in New York was
held down to 31a per cent. or be-
low, in spite of the near approach
of the November requirements.

f1uence on the ground list Criti-
cism Of a financial plan reported
to be in contemplation for the
adjustment of relations with the
subsidiary of the smelter's Sc
curities company had a depress-
ing effect on the stock.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales (par vaLue), $1.454.o0o.
L. s. bonds were unchanged.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-E F.
Hutton & Co.'S wire says: Prob
ably the chief factor in tod.y's
setback in stocks was the publi
bank figures which showed a loss
of bout $1,000. 900 on balance.
In the early operations in the
market steel common was made
the feature selling at a new high
figure. but with the poor outlook
for the bank statement tomorrow
and the feeling that somewhat
higher money rate might prevail
next week. inside selling occurred
to check any further advances in
the leading stocks. A very no
table fea ature, however. was the
good support on only very nomi
nal declines through the list which
occurred at noon. and in the final

DAILY MOVEMENT OF PRODUCE


CHICAGO Oct. 2s.-E. F. Hutton & Co.'S wire
SAYS: "A downward. dragging tendency has been
seen all day in wheat despite the rallies made in
the other grains. The market has at no time
been as high as the close last night. although
several large local spectators. as on every pre-
ceding morning this week. bought freely on the
early dip in values. There has been only mod
shown so little fear that II has been uphill work
for the bulls The ranks of the latter have
been somewhat depleted by the evident parting
of company of wheat and other grains today.

other causes. but the trade has ignored it. Cana

Corn has developed great deal or frmness
today. following a weak start. The latter was
due 10 the clear cold weather over the corn
country and ideal conditions for bringing the
corn TO merchantable shape. Enormous Argen-
tine shipments helped also In making an easier
start Country sales over night, however. were
small and the cash demand fair for the
limited offerings. Total sales were $4,000 bush

and they subsequently held the advanced ground
very well. Country sales are rather limited and
cash oats are holding up well. Primary receipts
today show quite large falling on. Cash sales

1t now transpires that some teach

founded the Catholic church. Don't
believe a word of it. No one who
knew history would make the state
ment. The teacher probably said it
was a matter of tradition, and if
there are any traditions going the
history class should know them. If
she said there was a tradition that
Gautama sacrificed himself to a starv-

1t seems that it is to be a pull be-

Fridays paper reported the arrest
and incarceration of some l6 year old
boys charged with stealing. The
boys were widows boys who lacked
the strong hand of father of the
right sort hold of ttom. But all
fathers are not of the right sort, as
witness the street boys of Anadafko.
1t seems rs though where boys are
loaiing and idle about the street the
police should have authority to send
them home. The street is the breed.
ing place for criminals and proper
regard for the present welfare of the
boys and the future citizenship of the
state seems to require that boys be
kept from idly wandering about the
street. often the sight of means to
DOLL deeds makes i'll deeds done.
Anyway, the street is no place for
boys to be loafng on or wandering
about idly and aimlessly either day or
night.
