Interest in the struggle for the anna

locality reached fever heat to-day
when it was announced that teams cap
tanned by James Levie and Raymond
Wishart had entered the field. Under

Depot square was thrown into a fut-
ter of excitement this morning when
Pasquale de Ceaser, a barber employed
at the Ross shop, leaned through the
door to catch a breath of morning air
and discovered the loss of his bicycle.
He communicated his discovery to Head
Barber Ross, who remembered of having
seen a youngster, or little shaver, az
he called him, making off with the wheel
a few moments before. Officer John Di-
neen happened along about that time and
he was advised of the supposed theft.
The officer posted himself on the square
and kept vigilant lookout for suspi-
cious looking small boys. But If his
watch was vigilant, Pasquale's vision
was even more penetrating, for it was
Pasquale who discerned the boy and the
bike coming out of Pearl street Stimuli
taneously. the officer and the barber
charged the lad, who heard for the first
time that the bicycle had been stolen.
At police headquarters, the boy rider, in
nocently enough, told the officers that
an uptown barber had directed him to a
bicycle which he had left on the corner
at Depot square. Officers and the boy |
both agreed that rather poor tonsorial !
joke had been pulled" somewhere up |
town for the purpose of boosting the |
news market on Depot square.

100000 in Favor of u. S.

WASHINGTON, oct. g7.-Despite the
European war the balance OF trade dis
closed 100000 on the right side Of the
ledger for the United States during the
month Of September. This was falling
off Of 100000 from the balance OF the
same month in 1918. however
Every group OF exports. as set forth in
the report issued today by the Department
Of Commerce, shows a decline, with the
exception Of foodstuhs. These alone
maintain the supremacy of this country's
export trade, being just 100000 greater
than the same month last year.
The exports OF crude materials for use
IN manufacturing showed the greatest
decrease, falling last month almost to
one-hfth of the volume sent abroad In
the same month OF last year.
Correspondingly. the crude materials
for manufacturing imported into the
United States likewise showed a decided
falling of for the month, as did manu-
factuTed articles ready for consumption.

U. S. COMMISSION
TO REGULATE TRADE
OF FOREIGN TRUSTS
Manufacturers Representa-
tives Believe Act Will
Open Way to Curb Foreign
Combinations Here.

The act creating a Federal Trade Com
mission, signed by President Wilson on
September 26, it is believed by legal rep
rcsentatives of manufacturing interests,
will open the way for regulating the busi-
ness in this country of foreign combina-
tions.
During consideration of the bill 1t was
pointed out that. while It prescribed pen
altles for price fixing by manufacturers,
making II an offense to sell at lower
prices abroad than in home markets. sew
eral powerful trusts, notably in Europe,
would not be restrained from continuing
practices by which many interests, the
textile industry in particular, were mem
aCed. Now the trusts across seas may be
curbed in their transactions, as well as
those of this country, for the act Great
ing the Federal Trade Commission pro-
vides:
ut shall have power to investigate
from time to time, trade conditions in
and with foreign countries where asso-
Citations. combinations or practices OF
manufacturers merchants or traders, or
other conditions, may affect the foreign
trade of the United States and report to
Congress thereon, with such recommends
tions as IL deems advisable"
Horace Stern, OF Stern & Wolf attor-
neys, In the Land Title Building when he
appeared before the House Committee on
the Judiciary, in February, in antagonism
10 foreign trusts, showed up lnc OPERA
tions of yarn combine in Germany,
which dumped surplus production into
the United states at prices with which
domestic spnners in the same line could
not compete. while maintaining higher
prices in Germany. Mr.. Stern appeared
in support of n bill which, had it become
a law, would have put the foreign trust
on a level with independent spinners.
Though the bill failed of passage the
provision in the Federal Trade Commits
sion act 1t is believed by Mr.. Stern makes
it possible to accomplish what was con-
tempated in the bill which he cham
pioned.
Foreign combines have had at their
mercy not only buyers here in their mar
kets. but sellers rs well, as was dis
closed specifically with relation to copper.
This country, it is said by John D. Ryan,
of Butte. the Montana Copper King
produces 70 per cent. of the copper of the
world and sells So per cent of the pro-
ductons in manufactured form.
Whenever we sell copper to England,
France or Germany" Mr.. Ryan says,
1--WE have to sell to combined buyers, who
at times have named the price with the
result that OF the $3.50, 100000 business in
export copper in IA years most of it was
done at a sacrifice of q half cent
pound"

NEW STREET PRICES
ARE NOT A CRITERION
OF THE REAL VALUE
Banks Should Not Recog-
nize Quotations in Making
Loans-Many Institutions
Have Done So, Says
Broker.

The announcement from New York yes
terday that the New street curb was
practically dispersed by the police, and
that the crowd on hand at the usual time
for the beginning of business was smaller
than usual, apparently indicates that what
was said in prominent banking circles
last week about "squelching" the open
air trading was not mere idle talk.
When the stock exchanges of the coun-
try decided on the morning of July 81
to discontinue business until further no
tice it was the general understanding that
the closing prices of July 80 We're TO be
considered the basis on which all call
loans with the banks should rest, as well
as all marginal accounts with brokers.
This, in fact, was a fixed determination
on the part OF banking interests, 1t being
clearly recognized that the brakes must
be put on hard and fast at that level
to prevent widespread disaster. In Eu-
rope this end was accomplished by the
declaration OF the moratorium, and the
closing of the stock exchanges here was,
In effect, practically the same thing so
far as brokers call loans with the banks
and marginal accounts were concerned.
With the passing OF the days and weeks
and months, however, and with the end
scarcely yet in sight, it was to be eX-
peCted that there would be efforts made
on the part of needy security holders to
realize on their holdings. The New street
market was the only selling channel that
could be found by those who found them
selves the victims of necessity.
! say 1t was to be expected that this
sort OF thing should take place, but II
was not TO he expected that the banking
Interests should allow themselves to be
disturbed by the small current OF bus
mess that would run through such
channel. But In quite a few instances
they have done so, and certain banks in
New York and Philadelphia have been
calling on their customers 10 reduce their
loans or deposit additional margin based
on the New street curb prices,
This, In turn has been quite disturbing
to brokers and their customers, who find
it extremely difficult under the prevailing
adjustment Of their loans, and who feel
In measure. that they are not being
fair treatment. inasmuch as II
was undoubtedly the determined purpose
Of the closing of the Stock Exchanges
that there should be no disturbance OF
the loan basis az fixed by the closing
prices Of July 80 until such time as the
Exchanges could be opened without the
danger OF panic or disaster.
II is certainly TO be deplored that any
bank should have permitted itself 10 be-
come anxious and upset over these New
street curb prices. as II can, Of course,
readily be seen that by 80 doing they
az once invite the disaster which the clos
InZ Of the Exchanges was intended 10
avoid.

SCATTERED SELLING
WITH POOR SUPPORT
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Wheat Opens Easier Today
as Result-Exporters Still
in Market, But Foreign
Buying Slackens.

CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-wheat opened easier
today on scattered selling and an absence
OF important support. Receipts at in
terror points were somewhat larger, and
it was believed that farmers were will
ing to sell at present prices
Exporters are still in the market, but
the business with foreigners seems to
have lost some of its effect for the time
being. The absence of a large outstaud-
ing short interest deprived the market OF
buying power Later some support de-
velopcd for December at Sl.lj Better
crops advices from India and Australia
and continued large arrivals at Liverpool
caused decline in prices there at the
opening. Later the undertone of that
market steadied on renewed support and
dsquietng reports from Argentina.
There has lven an enormous decrease in
the crops Of Germany, and owing TO the
official prohibition Of exports the entire
yield remains at the disposal of the Gov
ernment, which, 1t is said has nothing TO
fear for at least year. General Joffrc
has directed circular to projects of de-
partments in the war zone calling their
attention to the neglect Of harvesting
operations and delayed seeding. He urges
that the work be pushed vigorously.
Weather and crop news from Russia
generally is favorable. Hungary has
suspended the import duty on all grain.
Corn was easier all around on better
weather over the entire belt. Conditions
are ideal for curing the new crop Trade
was light and support poor. The market
at Liverpool was under pressure on bet
ter weather in Argentina and liberal Plate
offers.
Oats declined on scattered commission
selling. Pit sentiment was bearish There
was fairly good buying on the decline.
Provisions were a little easier.
