LONDON MARKET ACTIVE.
Good Undertone Is Maintained-Ca-
madam Pacific Features Americans.

LONDON, November 9.-Money and
discount rates were quiet and steady
today. African exchange weakened
early. but closed firmer at 4.65ha4.65A
The stock market maintained a good
undertone and business was active in
the investment section in colonial and
short-term bonds, home rails, Kaffirs
and the war loan. The amount of stock
being taken up is causing wonderment
as to where the money is coming from.
The reason for the purchases is part
ly attributed to the present low level
Of values and partly to big houses ac-
cumulating stock in anticipation of a
renewed demand when hostilities cease
The feature in the American section
was Canadian Pacific, which advanced
sharply on improved earnings reports.
The rest of the list hardened from be-
low parity and closed steady.

LITTLE TRADING DONE
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Prices on Sales Made and on the In
active Shares Show Few
Changes.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

There was some Improvement in the
volume of business on the local STOCK
exchange as compared with yesterday s
dullness, and yet the volume OF trad
ing was very light, both in stock ana
bonds. Only by comparison was there
the slightest improvement.
Quotations showed no important
changes in the figures for puplc
utilities, and the lowering OF the pio
price for Lanston to 76a and OF Mer-
genthaler to $50 indicated the lack OF
any demand for these stocks, dlgnihed
many points higher than present levels
as war specialties.
In the bond list one Potomac Consoh-
dated "5' at 100 and $500 W washington
Gas 5s at 105 Is furnished the only sales
records.

ferred sold at SO and an odd lot of Fed
Ell | National Bank at 1856
Next week the annual election OF OF
ficers of the stock exchange will be
held. So far known no candidates
have entered the arena The annual
meeting of the exchange will not be
without interest, however, as new
constitution and bylaws on which
committee has been working for some
time will be brought up for consldera-
ticl.
Allan E Walker, president of the ex-
change, will probably recommend some
method by which it is hoped to stimu-
late interest or at least appoint COM
mittees to study this question. Ihe
suggestion has been made that some of
the leading curb stocks on the New
York curb, in which Washington specu-
lators are interested, be added to the
trading list, with view of bringing
some speculation to this market-now
devoid of anything suggesting specula-
tion.
Some few New York stocks might be
added on forty-eight hours delivery.
The bond market here should i'm
prove in the near future. 1t is decided
ly strong and at higher prices than
Wall street, and as the supply of com
mercial paper in New York and else
where is extremely limited. bankers
should soon be buyers of local issues.
the only restriction being due to the
sues are rather high. There are orders
on the market now at lower levels.

Little Weakness for Corn.

Corn showed a little weakness on ac-
count of the bearish nature of the gov
ernment crop figures. Opinions. how
ever. that measured the feeling value
the yield this season, as but slightly
above that of 1914. helped to prevent
any fadical decline. After opening un-
changed to Il lower. the market re-
ceded trihe all around, but later tend
efs TO harden.
Oats were governed by the action of
corn. There was no aggressive selling.
Lower prices on hogs weakened pro-
visions. Demand was meager, and nota-
bly, so for pork.

WEAK AND IRREGULAR
Sentiment Among Room Traders
Was Very Bearish, But Higher
Prices Held Until Afternoon.

NEW YORK, November e.-While
there were good gains throughout the
list up to the middle of the session, and
some important advances in the speci-
alties, the market was difficult one to
gauge and the fluctuations were both
frequent and rather large in the active
group.
Speculative trend, If one may Judge
from the views of room traders accus-
toned to judge the ticker, was bearish.

ket according to these theories Is gone.
the speculation from now on, until
something happens of a decidedly ia
vorable character, is likely to be of the
in-andout character.
The days of waiting for good profits
before realizing seem to have changed
for the quick turn as frequently as pos
sible.

the news of the day will determine the

Spectators Up in the Air.

Spectators themselves are up in the
air on the war news, and hesitate on
anything more than turn.
At the opening there was a sharp ad-
vance in the list, but stocks were sup
piled just as freely as the buyers would
take them, and this brought about a
speedy change to weakness. and many
of the issues fell back below the low
est prices of Monday when the highs
of yesterday were reached by but Few
stocks.
Midway in the second hour of the
morning the list was near the low. and
then another strong streak developed
that carried prices nearly to the high
of the morning on some OF the special
ties and rails.
The first hour showed sales of $685.
600 shares; the second hour maintained
a fair average and in the noon hour the
market quieted down to it's lowest
trading ebb.
War Stocks Showing Best.
The war stocks, or rather those usu-
ally thus grouped, showed the best
strength in the late rally, with Cruel
BILE Steel developing the best apparent
strength and Studebaker showing the
least resistance to the bear attacks.
Early indications were no criterion
the movement and so uncertain were
traders in their views on the situation.
Vacillating Course of Favorites.
Baldwin Locomotive, which closed
yesterday at 1T, opened at 119, rose to
120 and then turned down to 116A. re-
covering to 119A and going back to
17A.
Crucible Steel started at TAN, touched
77A, dropped to 76b. back to TN and
to 76A.
Studebaker rose from 1921 to 1884,,
dropped to 159&, loss of 3A loints
net for the day, and recovered to 161
to 16o.
1t was these fluctuations that made
it a hard market to Judge. Maxwell
Motors rose to SO with frequeat re-
cessions, an advance of 2A.
Willys-Overland lost IN points. while
General Motors was 10 points better.
Lackawanna Steel was 2h Off. Allis-
Chalmers, points off and Virginia
Chemical lost IL.
Minor Industrials Also Irregular.
Minor industrials were just as irreg-
ular as the leaders. Colorado Fuel,
Steel Foundries. Locomotive and Can
were decidedly strong.
Steel common was reasonably active
between S4ss and S5h. holding into the
second hour of the afternoon five
eighths of a point gain.
In the rails higher prices were more
or less general, Canadian Pacific show
ing the best strength with 2A points
net gain. Southern Pacific, Great
Northern and Atchison making frac-
tional advances, while Union Pacific.
Reading and Northern Pacific were
easier.
General-Declines Later.
In the second hour of the afternoon
the real trend of the market developed
into more or less weakness. The war
stocks were severely hit, the rest of
the list yielding more gradually.
Baldwin Locomotive dropped to 113,
a net loss of points from Mondays
closing; Crucible was low for the day
at IA, yesterdays close. and Studebaker

TIER; MOTHER TRIED TO

Hazlehprst, Miss, Oct 9.-After a
separation, of six months a husband
and wife have reunited here and to-
gether are fighting a court battle
against the father of the husband, with
the end of obtaining possession of
their six-year-old son, whom both re-
linquished at the time of the separa-
tion,
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Youngblood, jr.,
determined six months ago to adjust
their marital differences in separation.
Their six-year-old son was given into
the custody of the husbands father,
prominent merchant of Wesson The
mother then left, presumably for her
original home in North Carolina; the
father for Meridian, Miss, where he
found employment.
In the meantime, the child, in his
grandfather's custody was placed in
school in Wesson.

was on his way to school when motor
car dashed up the street and stopped
abreast of him. The childs mother,
supposed to be in North Carolina,
leaped from the machine, seized her
son, and jumped back again. The
motor car sped toward Hazlehurst.
The grandfather heard of the seiz-
ure. He caught train for Hazlehurst
and reached here just as the mother
and her son arrived at the depot to
take train northward. The child was
seized forcibly again, this time by the
grandfather.
Mrs. Youngblood hurried to an attor.
ney and was told that, since she had
no welldefined home, the child prob
ably would be allowed by the courts
to remain with the grandfather. The
mother telegraphed the father, who
arrived here yesterday.
The pair instituted together a writ
of habeas corpus for the possession of
their son. The case will be heard by
Chancellor o. B. Taylor Monday.

BEACH IS PASSABLE
IN BUT few PLACES
STREET COMMISSIONERS. sWANzy
HAS A GANG AT WORK ALONG
EASTERN SECTION.

Biloxi, Miss, Oct. 9.-The beach
thoroughfare from Keller street to the
Point is passable for vehicles, accord
ing to Street Commissioner John
Swanzy, who has been busily engaged
since the hurricane in putting that
thoroughfare in good shape. Mr..
Swanzy has wisely undertaken to
place the thoroughfare in good con-
dition at its easiest points, so that
sections of the street may be made
passable at the earliest possible date.
A few men are being employed by the
Street commissioner in that section Of
the city at the present time.
Mr.. Swanzy said that he would have
a large force Of men at work on the
beach by next Monday. He added
that it would probably require three
weeks time to make the beach pass
able at all points.
Residents of the beach are super
intending the cleaning OF that thor
oughfare at the present time in front
Of their residences. Considerable
headway is being made, but the beach
thoroughfare is still Uttered with de.
bris from the recent gale. 1t is pos.
sible to drive along the beach south
of the business section, although a
circuitous route around the debris Is
necessary.
All residents Of the beach, however,
have gangs Of men at work cleaning
the debris, which win doubtless be
removed within a short time.
