According to astrology this is not a
fortunate day for commercial or ar
tistic pursuits. Early in the morning
Jupiter and Neptune are adverse,
while later, Mars and Uranus are in
evil place. Mercury, alone, is strongly
benefc.
The rule is fairly good for the sign
ing of contracts and entering into
agreements.
Actors and entertainers of all sorts
should benefit from engagements be-
gun under this sway of the stars.
There is a sinister sign for COM
merce today. Losses on the sea are
indicated.
Astrologers foresee a money strin-
gency which will effect persons of
large earning capacity. They counsel
frugality and economy.
Alarms that appear to foreshadow
war are indicated, but they will not
presage serious conflicts, although
again it is declared that there will
be activity in both the army and navy
of the United States.
Violent storms on the Pacific Coast
again are prognosticated. Property

mountains were we'll behind them, would
be the Mississippi their natural high

It was possible they might see their chief

New High Export
Record is Made.

Figures just made public by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commerce,
reveal new high record in American
export trade and export balance.
September, 1915, exports totaled
1927, 766, ESQ and exceeded by $79,-
526,749 the total for September, 1918,
and by $141, 714,417 that for Septem-
Der, 1914. September imports this
year aggregated $151 APP 1871, being
less by $19,662,O1 than those of Sep
TENDER, 1913, and more by $11, 712, 22o
than those of September last year.
Nine months exports this year to-
tailed $2,529, 575, $50, compared with
81 ,467, 4O1, 9s9 last year and 81, 733, 422-
1853 two years ago. Imports for the
nine months period of 1915 were val
ued at 81, 800, PSI ,591, against 81, 49,
071,S74 last year and 81, 327, 1886 OIL
two years ago.
The September export balance was
$146y343,919, being nine times as much
as the export balance of 1854, 722
in September, 1914, and only $41, $685.
371 short of the export balance for
the entire fiscal year 1910. The nine
months ending with September last
show an export balance of 81 ,227 ,293,-
5o4, an increase of $1,17o, o00, 900 over
that for the corresponding period of
1914 and 1921, 256,417 over that of
1918.
Duty-free imports comprised Tie
percent. of the total imports for Sep
TENDER, 1915, and 81 per cent. of those
of September, 1914. Their increased
percentage this year reflects the
marked growth in imports of factory
materials, mostly on the free list.
Gold imports during September to-
tailed $42,O42,64S, exceeding by $40,-
008,658 the months exports of gold
which were $2,03S, 800. In the nine
months ending with September GOLD

RUSSIA HOLDS SIS
M|LESBAT TL.EFRONT
Military Authorities Regard
Situation at Every Point
With Satisfaction.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Petrograd, Oct. 26.-(via London)
Russian military authorities regard
the situation along the German front
of 675 miles as favorable. Three
days ago the German efforts between
Mitau and the gulf of Roga presented
serious problem. Now the Germans
have been checked and their sphere of
action is being narrowed.
Eastward along the line, to points
beyond Dvinsk, the Russians are
successfully pressing the Germans,
gaining ground in many places. Their
most considerable success recently
has been at Postavy. This town was
taken and the Germans were driven
westward through Duka in a fierce
battle.
From that vicinity south to the
Baranovichi region there is little ac-
tivity. In the immediate vicinity of
Baranovichi region, the Russians are
still on the offensive, after having
gained advantageous positions which
placed them in command of the right
bank of the Shara river, thereby
threatening the Germans to the
westward.
In Galicia, the Russians are follow
ing up their successes st Novo Alex
metz. 1t is stated in reports from
this region that three German divi-
sions were cut to pieces there.
The Russian authorities attribute
their successes to the vigor of the
Russian attack, the exhaustion of the
German troops and the increasing
difficulties of transportation with
which the invading army has to con-
tend.
