Now Believed That Flood Waters Will Pass Without
 Creating More Damage.
MORE RAIN WILL
 CAUSE DISASTER
Life Loss IS, and Property Damage Will Reach Hundreds of Thousands. Arkansas Five Inches Above
 FIGOd Stage at Capital.

Kansas City, May 2S.-General im- provement in the flood situation throughout Eastern Oklahoma, Kan sas and Western Missouri gave hope to threatened sections tonight that the flood waters would pass without creating more serious conditions.
 The Arkansas river was stationary at Muskogee and receding at Tulsa. Okla, and the Kansas and Missouri rivers were stationary, according to measurements made here.
 Several of the largest tributaries of the Kansas were reported rising, however, and officials of the govern ment weather bureau said but little additional rain was needed to precipi- tate disastrous overflow in the low CT sections of Kansas City,
 More storms in Oklahoma today in- creased the property damage, but it was hoped the rainfall would be drained by the Arkansas without further breaks in the levees protect ing rich farm lands.
 Every effort has been made to strengthen the levees at threatened points. Only light rains were re- ported in Kansas and Missouri to- night.
 The life loss in the storm and flood district was placed at IS to- night, with several injured expected to die, an da score of persons suffer- ing from minor hurts.
 No estimate of the property damage was available, but it will run into the hundreds of thousands.

Tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Fort Smith, May 2S.-Thousands of acres of farm lands in Oklahoma. ad- jacent to Fort Smith, are being flooded by the Arkansas river. Wa ter is over the banks west of the river, and a levee is being thrown up. The river reached a stage of 28 feet here today, four feet above flood stage.
 Great property damage is reported as a result of tornadoes at Checotah. Cleora and Stigler, Okla.

Above Flood Stage.

Little Rock. May 2S.-The Arkan- sas river at o'clock tonight stood at 23.5 feet. which is five inches above the flood stage.
 H. s. Cole. section director for the weather bureau, predicts the river will reach 26 feet here by Monday.
 The first heavy rain in nine weeks fell at Warner last night. where the river is steadily rising, but has not yet menaccd property. The rain is said to have been of great benefit to the crops on the state farm at Cum mings.
 Water is pouring through the gap in the Crawford county levee, in spite of the efforts of planters to stop the gap with sand bags. If the pre- dicted stage of the river is reached, it is said virtually ever acre of grow ing cotton on the river bottom farms will be lost. Live stock has been driven to higher ground.
 Several houses were lifted from their foundations in the Hartford val- ley by heavy rains last night, which resulted in flood. which washed out the Creek island dam and the switch to Central mine No. 4.

TRADE CONDITIONS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Cotton Y arms Advancing.
Greater Activity in Hard
ware-Leather in Demand

In the local cotton-yarn trade conditions
show an Improvement over the previous
week. Cotton is still advancing, and in
some cases certain numbers of cotton
yarns have shown an advance of 5 to 6
cents since August. Manufacturers, how
ever, are not buying as heavily as some
dealers anticipated on a rising market
This is attributed to the fact that but
few manufacturers have any large Or
ders ahead, but are working from hand
TO mouth. Conditions generally appear
TO be better than for some time past, ac-
cording to r. r. Dun & Co., and a good
feeling prevails.
Jobbers of woolens and cotton piece
goods selling principally to the local
manufacturers state that the market is
advancing and sales have shown an in
crease Wholesalers of dry goods report
also more activity in business and
slight Improvement in collections. Manu-
facturers of cloaks and suits state there
is a slight increase in sales, but the trade
is disposed to buy sparingly. Shirt waist
and dress manufacturers state there
is a fair demand and they are looking
forward to a good seasons business. job
bers in hosiery, underwear, ETC., state
that the last week or 10 days sales have
shown an increase. but collections are
slow. Manufacturers of mems and boys
clothing state that weather conditions
affected sales somewhat, although during
the last week there has been some little
Improvement.
The leather market continues active,
prices Arm, and only moderate stocks are
reported, better grades being in demand
Glazed kid dealers report a fairly active
trade and prices Arm. Shoe dealers report
sales somewhat improved and an increas.

WHEAT LOWER;
ACTIVE SELLING
Good Government Crop Report
Caused Prices to Fall-Corn
and Oats Firm

CHICAGO. Oct. s.-Bewildering events
OF yesterdays market evidently drove
the speculative interest out, and prices
at the opening today were lower than
the closing quotation of last night and
went lower in the wheat market in the
early hours, with activity in selling. The
Governments optimistic report predict
ing unsurpassed crops in quantity and
quality had its effect in arousing a strong
bearish sentiment. At the close December
was down 2s cents and May 3Ss cents.
The short interests has been cut down.
Bulls declared that a break was neces-
sary to steady the market and put it in
position for a further bulge.
Corn and oats held firm and displayed
no unusual activity, despite the report
of frost damage in the Northwest. There
was no wide deviation in quotations in
the morning hours.
Export sales recorded numbered $4,000
bushels. 1t was said the foreign con-

dividend the stock had not sold until
today, when an odd lot came out at 1l4,
compared with a last previous sale of
lO5. As the day advanced the anthracite
issues became prominent, aided by the
report Of September anthracite ship
ments. Dehigh Valley and Reading each
moved up over n point. Although the
tonnage fell below last year. there was
a substantial gain over the preceding
month. Rapid Transit crossed l3 in the
late trading and Reading As also moved
up.
The strongest issue on the list during
the morning was ]. @. Brill, which
opened up nearly 3 points and then re-
acted. No particular new developments
were Forthcoming, but the Street was full
of talk of deals and the probability of
governmental interference. The hope was
expressed that the Supreme Court would
act quickly upon the United States Steel
case In order TO settle the matter once
and for all. In regard to the Midvale
deal II is said that of the authorized
capital of $4,000 200, between s70,OOO,O 900
and s75,OOO.0OO will issue Immediately. 1t

par value of $50 per share and by nearly
100 per cent. It will represent cash and
cost values and there will be only one
security, no debts and no promotion re-
wards. The organizers will receive their
profits from the privilege of subscription
at par.
It was asserted in well-informed quar-
ters today that there is no proposed con-
nectlon between Midvale and Bethle-
hem, Cambria, Pennsylvania Steel, Jones
& Laughlin or Crucible Steel, and no
consolidation is contemplated with the
Baldwin Locomotive or any other steel
works.

Brokers' ofices continued crowded
again today, or at least until Il was time
for the general exodus TO the bail
grounds Brokers reported constantly
increasing odd-lot demand for high
grade stocks and middle-grade bonds, In
dicating a heavy increase In public de-
mand for securities The purchasers OF
small lots of stock IN the large majority
OF cases pay for them outright, and take
them out Of the market, and brokers say
that this development has reached a pro-
portion that counts in stabilizing the
market. The new rule made recently In
New York Is said to have been due to this
increase in public buying. The arrange
ment makes the amount of the brokers'
commissions on stock of $50 share
par value the same as those on stocks OF
800 par, and has been well received In
this city by houses which execute orders
on the New York Exchange.
The commission has been raised from
6h cents to 12lS cents on stocks quoted
In Wall street on the 100 per cent. basis,
thus enabling local brokers to receive
the same commission as II the trans
action had been executed in this city.
To illustrate the growth of the odd-lot
business of late, one large commission
house reported this week having pur-
chased $2OO.OO0 OF small blocks OF stock
