Tendency Of Stocks
Is To Higher Levels

New York, Oct. 19.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
Although irregular tendencies and
substantial declines were reported at
times in today's stock market opera
tions the movement Of prices In the
best part of the session was in the di-
rection of higher levels with marked
improvement in many of the represent
ative issues. Investment buying was in
evidence in various high grade securi-
ties while the public participation in
the speculation in the popular stocks,
such as United States Steel common,
provided fair proportion of the total
of business for the five hours trading.
Wall Street was bullish on the steel
shares, and on the motor stocks, also
on General Electric and Westinghouse
Steel common moved up more than two
points in the early afternoon dealings
and at the same time many of the spe-
cialties and the railroad shares lnclud-
ing the low priced rails became active
at advancing quotations, especially the
Wabash issues and Denver and Rio
Grande preferred Union Pacific was
taken big by big houses, likewise New
York Central and Chesapeake and
Ohio. Trading was active throughout.
Last hour trading was active with
reactionary price tendencies in many
issues. but with good buying reported
especially in the rails and railway
equipment shares.

benson ASKS HUGHES
ABOUT CONSCR|PT|ON
Wants to Know If His Failure
to Criticise Means Ap-
prOval Of Law

San Diego, Cal, Oct. 19.-Allen L.
Benson, presidential candidate on the
socialist ticket, today dispatched tele-
gram to Republican Nominee Hughes
at New York, asking an explanation of
why he has not criticised President
Wilson for signing bill empowering
the president in time of war to draft
American citizens into the army.
In the course of his telegram to
Hughes, Benson declared that the Hay
Chamberlain army reorganization bill
gives the president ''greater power
than the king of England has over the
people of Australia, where, by act of
parliament, the women as well as the
men are to determine whether in the
midst of this great world war, the men
of Australia shall be drafted into the
army of the empire
"I am therefore instructed" Ben
son added, "by a great mass meeting
of American citizens to ask you pub
licly to declare whether your failure to
criticise the president for. his signing
of the draft law is to be construed as
indicating your approval of the law2"
Benson spoke at Los Angeles last
night, and then came to this city where
he will speak tonight.

Wheat Still Climbs
In Chicago Market

Chicago. Oct. 19-Wheat continued
TO rise today after an opening rs below
close. After much confusion
at the start, as active demand began
to push prices up and continued reports
of unfavorable Argentine weather help
ed the advance. Low primary receipts
eontrasted with those of year ago also
were partly responsible. December was
up 3 SIS at $1.69 l-S and May up "a
at $l.69 Ia
Corn was firm on good demand, due
chiefly to unsettled weather over the
corn belt, and reports of snow as far
south as Kansas caused sharp gains. De,
cember up 2 3.S at 81 rs and May up
2 IA at SO rs.
Oats were higher on liberal buying.
