New York, Oct. 4-Opening-Indu trials and specialties formed the basis for the most activity at today's open ing, mostly at higher prices. Gains ranging from fractions to two points were made by New York Airbrake. International Paper Bag and Paper preferred, American Linseed Common and Studebaker and some of the ac- tive munitions and equipments. Rails, particularly Union and Southern Paci- fcs, Lehigh Valley and Denver and Rio Grande preferred, were ap- preciably better. Bethlehem Steel yielded points, with irregular re- sessions in metals.
 Noon-Irregular tendencies devel- oped before the end of the first hour, that period being the dullest in more than a month, Steel, Reading and other favorites were under intermit- tent pressure, their places being taken by Central Leather at the high record of 5N, the paper. group, Sugars and other specialties which derived their main support from pools.

ARE RAILWAYS RETURN

Lumber trade papers are writing about the probability of the railways returning to the use of frame cars. It is stated that the Great Northern Railroad officers believe that wooden freight cars with properly distributed metal parts would save the railroads millions of dollars a year annuity in coal consumption, wear on wheels and other parts of the under DOT tions, and in avoiding the hauling of Unnecessary weight Ralph Budd, assistant to the president of the Great Northern Railroad is reported as say ing that Hike many new ideas, the heavy all-steel car swept like a tidal wave over the country, and when tho wave rolled back, time and experience had developed many disadvantages. From an operating standpoint foeo-, motive will handle. 100 cars weighing 80, 900 pounds empty, as easily as 1t will fifty cars each weighing 6O,OO0 pounds empty. There is DO reason why cars should be built to weigh 100, 900 pounds in which to carry goods of which you could not possibly load more than 10000 pounds. Cars Ghould not weigh more than the load

 CARRANzA CURRENCY

by Consul Lelevier from the Mexican treasury department, waiying both consular and customs duties on i'm portaton of Mexican silver coinage, indicates that the order of General Gales was given with the sanction of the national government
 Payrolls at Cananea, Nacozari and Fl Tigre have been met for several months with silver money or it's equivalent in gold. The same practice will be continued, it is understood.
 Whether the army in Sonora will also be paid in silver is not known. At the present time soldiers are receiv- ing their wages in the almost worth less Carranza 'uncOunterfeitable bills, at the rate of ten cents gold on the peso. It is considered certain here that the new order will make for discontent among the soldiers as it Completes the destruction of such value has hitherto attached to the Carranza money in Sonora.

DOUGLAS, July 21. - An order amounting to the practical repudiation of CarranZa currency in sonora. was issued today by General P. Elias Gales. military commander of the state. when he announced that no merchant would hereafter be forced to accept it in exchange for goods.
 Since Adolfo de la Huerta has been governor of the state. merchants have been compelled to accept Carranza currency at the stated rate of ten cents gold on the peso. although it could be purchased on the American side of the border for less than half as much. As result merchants all over the state were forced out Of business. while company stores who remained in operation perforce. al lowed their stocks to run down to the minimum It is currently reported that the monetary situation was one of matters discussed by Gales and de Ia Huerta in their recent conference in Agua Prieta. the order being the result.

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-AII restrictions upon the movement of exports into Mexico, except
 munitions of war and machinery for their manufacture were re
 moved today by order of the treasury department.
 The treasury has been urging the broad order issued today to relieve freight congestion at the border cities and accommodate both Mexican and American industrial firms in Mexico.
 No Munitions Yet
 The munitions embargo prob
 ably will be maintained rigidIy until conditions in northern Mex ico are more settled and differ enees between the United States and the de facto government have been adjusted.
 Without the formality of a procla- nation an embargo on shipments into Mexico was put into effect by GUS toms and military authorities soon after Villas raid upon Columbus. Two weeks ago the state and war depart ments agreed to the lifting the re strictions upon exports of food and clothing and later to the movement of household goods and of fuel in reasonable quantities.
