 The market for numerous short term issues was active. As an example, the recently extended six per cent. notes of the Consolidated Gas company, which were offered at a price yielding slightly more than that return, were selling on the basis of 5 1-2 per cent. This same degree of betterment was shown by other securities of the same class.

 Interest in stock exchange affairs was heightened because of a confer ence between the governing commit tee of that body and the representa- tives of the British exchequer now in this country No definite decision re- Sarding the date for resuming local operations was reached, mainly for the reason that the reopening of the Lon- don exchange remains a matter of speculation.

Brandeis. the commissions special counsel, declared that the only new fact adduced by the carriers to justify their plea was he European war. No specific show ing had been made he said as to the injustice of any existing rates. and he expressed the opinion that if the com- mission saw fit to grant the advance thereby modifying its previous fuling it would exceed its legal powers and invade the province of congress to de- elare governmental policies.
 MT Brandeis was followed by F. senting shippers of brick and tile; Frank Lyon and Charles A. Johnston appearing for Pennsylvania coal pro- ducers, Luther 7A. Walters, in behalf of lumber and livestock shippers and Lush E.stIer, oour.el for the Chicago Association of Commerce.
 All maintain that nothing had been brought out st the new hearings to justify the advance of any specific rate and that the relief sought by the car riers was beyond the legal power ot the commission to extend.

PECULIAR CASE OF
 MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Wrong Body Sent From Kenosha Wis, to Philadelphia for Burial

Philadelphia, Oct. 2s.-Members of the family of Selden Miller shipped back to Kenosh, Wis. today the body sent here from that place after it had been identified as that of MT. Miller. Physicians and the Miller family dis covered the mistake They say that either the wrong body was disinterred at Kenosha or the theory of Mil1er's death may be wrong and that he js still alive. Acting on this hope, the family today renewed their effort to locate the man who dropped from sight nearly a year ago.
 Miller was the son of the late E. Spencer Miller, at one time a widely known attorney in this city. Selden Miller was a musician of note. He was the leader of the Peoples Choir union, an organist and a teacher of music. No reason for his disappea - ance has ever been discovered.
 At first it was believed he had been abroad, where he had studied and played, to join his aged mother, in Italy. Mrs. Miller died last month in Naples a1lG her body arrived home yes- terday. The funeral will be held on Saturday.
