the dormitory to the gymnasium build
Ing Smoke filled both buildings from
the underground fire.
Inc students ran out a line of hose
but could not find the flames. The fire-
men from Ardmore discovered them in
tne conduit and easily extinguished the
nlaze' but not before all of the students
or the college had been routed out of
ped and stood on the campus, a shiver-
ing and scantily clad crowd.
Early in the evening the odor of smoke
was noticed about the gymnasium and
Barclay Hau, but the smoldering fire
was not found.

TAME AT OUTSET,
MARKET FTRMER
Europe Continues Strong
Feature, But Heavy Inte-
rior Movement Serves to
Check New Buying.

CHICAGO. Nov 9.--Trade In wheat was
tame at the outset this morning. The
market was a little flrmer but turned
easier, Brokers were in a waiting mood
The European situation c, ,ntinued a
strong feature, out the movement at in
new buying.
Shipments from North america for the
week were estimated at 6, i46OO0 bushels
OF the total, Canada shipped 2,2i7 900
bushels Foreign arrivals of wheat in
Frence are liberal and It is believed that
the import duty will be re-establlshed
atter the country obtains Its redulre-
ments, which are estimated at 45. 900 900
bushels.
The stock of wheat at Iiverpool in
creased "A 900 bushels for the week and
is now 4,42l 900 bushels. Prices at LIVER
pool hardened after the opening. B. w.
Snow says the fact that Argentina has
suffered frost ut q critical time in crop
growth will show UP when the harvest
returns are in,
Corn was easier, with pit selling rather
freely. There was not much support and
business was not large. Traders were
awaiting the Government report on corn
at the close The market at Liverpool
was firm. The stock at Liverpool in
creased $4,000 bushels for the week to
ll65.O00 bushels. Shipments from North
America for the week were 5000 bushels.
Large business Is being effected in corn
In Argentina and shipments from that
country are expected to show large in
crease.
Oats were only moderately active. The
market was easier, ignoring advices from
Argentina that the yield of oats in that
country would be largely reduced. The
crop there has suffered severe damage.
There Is more activity In oats in Liver
pool, and prices there show a hardening
tendency Argentina is shipping nothing
and Russian grades in London are scarce.
Shipments from North America for the
week to London were heavy. Exports
were 100000 bushels.

TRADE RESUMPTION
LARGELY DEPENDS
ON GREAT BRITAIN
Presumed That Stock Ex-
changes Will Open When
England Guarantees Safety
in Transatlantic Transpor-
tation.

WASHINGTON. Nov. s-All members
OF the Federal Reserve Board returned
to Washington today expecting to take
up with Sir George Paish. Of the English
Treasury, the question Of international
exchange, opening of Stock Exchanges
in London and New York ana the further
question OF stabillzing OF eottons together
with the opening Of Cotton Exchanges in
Manchester, Liverpool and New Orleans.
While the opening Of the Cotton Ex-
changes has been practically agreed upon
and the date has been tentatively hxed
for November 10, there yet remains for
consideration the question OF cotton sales
As to the opening of the Stock Ex-
changes, Sir Georges communication
from the English Government, sent in an
sWsr to his report and now regarded in
stFietest confidence by all members of the
board. furnished the topic OF eonsidera-
tion during the morning session. While
1t has become known through Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo that these ex-
changes viii be opened when normal con-
ditions are resumed. It Is presumed that
normal conditions" viii be only when
Great Britain will guarantee absolute
safety Ia transatlantic transportation
The local point OF interest centred to-
day Ia the communication that Sir George
has received from his Government. Upon
1t hinges the success OF the trip 10 the
United States and incidentally the free
exchange Of business relations with Lon
don. upon which American trade Is con-
tingent

FOR BIENNIAL CONGRESS
Plans for Meeting at Brussels of In
ternatiOnaI Chambers Of Commerce
Being Laid.

BRUSSELS, Mar. 26.-The Perman-
ent Committee of the International
Congress of Chambers of Commerce
which held it's last meeting at Bos-
ton in September, 1912, will meet in
this city today, to approve the final
program for the next congress, which
will be held in Paris during the week
beginning June 8.
A number of questions were sent
to business organizations throughout
the world during the past year, and as
result of the suggestions sent in
response the program for the June
meeting will be definitely fixed.
The delegates to the Paris confer
ence will tour France and other Eur
opean cities as guests of the respec-
tive cities and governments.
The International Congress is antic-
ipated with much interest by the bus
mess men of both hemispheres, not
only because of the questions which
will come up for consideration but be-
cause of proposals which have been
advanced by the English, German and
American organizations for the de-
of the. International Assoc
iation and extending its lines of use

VOLCANIC ERUPTION OF PROFIT
Sakura People Quit Farming And VIII
Now Supply World With Pum1ce
Stone.

TOXIC, Mar 26-A sharp drop in the
pumice stone market may be expected
as soon, it was believed here today, as
the pumice stones created by the erup-
ton of Sakurajima are placed on the
market. Since the eruption the gulf of
Kogshima has been covered by such
mass of floating pumice stone that nav
igation has been difficult and many
large masses of the useful stone have
f1oated out to sea.
A few days ago heavy rain on Sa-
kura island washed down huge masses
of pumice stone from the side of the
volcano aud many of the villagers who
live on the island have quit farming
and turned their attention to the har-
vesting of the pumice stone which has
been cast at their doors. One who is
of a statistical turn of mind has estl-
mated that the new pumice stone
created by the Sakurajima eruption
is enough to supply the world for ten
years.

BLACK SMOKE
WILL BATTLE
A ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED FOR
JOHNSON-MORAN FIGHT AT
PARIS.
Event VIII Be Pulled on in June
Moran is From Pittsburg and May
Best the Black Champion.

PARIS, Mar. 26.-It is now a GER
tainty that the heavyweight cham
pionship" fight between Frank Moran,
the Pittsburg white hope, and Jack
Johnson will be pulled off here on a
Sunday, the day of the Grand Prix at
Longcharmps in June.
Dan McKetrick, foxy manager of
Moran, has everything to gain by pick
ing this, or similar day, for the
match. Johnson is guaranteed $35, 900
win, loose or draw, 100000 to be paid
his white wife on the day of the fight
and $4,000 in $1,000 installments for
five weeks prior to the fight. Roth
and Maitrot, under whose direction
the fight is to be held, also have a
guarantee of $4,000 with prospective
share in the gate receipts. Moran will
get a like settlement, therefore the
box office will have to take in at least
$4,000 before Danny comes in for
nickle. Over that amount he, Moran
and the fight managers will share, but
fights in Paris so far have never yield
ed anything like this sum.
'McKetrick figures this will be the
biggest fight France has ever seen,
bigger admission will be
charged. The battle probably will
take place at the Pare des Princes,
big athletic field, bicycle track and
favorite duelling ground, or some 9TH
er large place in order to keep all the
money which may be offered at the
gate. However, Moran is an unknown
here and Johnson is about as popular
as the measles; so somebody stands to
lose unless the international sporting
men here to see the Grand Prix decide
to go in strong for la boxe.
