just as frightened as Jimmy If we had
been in his place. You see 1t was this

NEW YORK, October 22.-Winchester
Arms, the chiefest of the war stocks
today touched new high at $4,000 a

1t is reported in banking circles that
control of the corporation has been OBJ

big block of very valuable stock will
be turned over to the Baldwin Locomo-
tive, Remington Arms Company OF
Bethlehem Steel at price varying
from $1,000 to $4,000 a share. Some
profit for the banking syndicate.

the directors of Winchester Arms are
considering the advisability of declar-
ing a dividend of 500 a share and a
stock dividend OFF, 900 per cent, which
would indicate that the banking syndi-
cate had advance information.

FIRMNESS DEVELOPS IN
WHEAT PRICES TODAY
Liverpool Quotations Help Bulls,
But Heavy Northwest Receipts
Make the Traders Cautious.

CHICAGO. Ill, October 22.-Some
firmness developed in the wheat mar

strength of quotations at Liverpool.
where the scarcity of offerings was

at Minneapolis, Duluth and Winnipeg
continued. however, to make the bulls
here cautious.
Houses with northwestern connec-
lions sold freely. Opening prices which
ranged from y of to Y up. with De-
cember at 1913 to 1o3%, and May at

slight general decline, and then ma

Export sales had a bullish effect on
corn. The fine weather appeared to
have little influence. After opening q
shade to V higher. the market scored
a moderate further upturn.
