New York. Oct. 4.-Stocks closed strong
today and so active that the ticker was
busy seven minutes after the close print
ing quotations. Sor1e new high records
were made in the last few minutes OF
business. notably in Pennsylvania at Sc
and New York Central at ia Other high
records made during the afternoon were
IN Tobacco products at IS, Beet Sugar
at % Ia; Chesapeake and Ohio at 6S 3-s
and Norfolk and Western at 145 L. In
dustrials were quiet but strong.
Norfolk and Western was the most
spectacular performer of the day, but II
has been doing so well for weeks that
1t attracted less attention than did
Pennsylvania and New York Central Its
high price naturally revived gossip of a
lease by the Pennsylvania. Norfolks
career Is important just now because its
phenomenal prices are being made on
smaller and smaller sales. It is a con-
slant rebuttal Of the testimony given by
the presidents Of other railroads which
say they will be ruined unless rates are
raised. Even Atchison rose to the pre-
vious high record price Of 100 L., making
Wall Street think Of President Ripley
and say woe to me-"
Rails have been laggards and are simply
catching up to the procession.
Pools continue to accumulate lines of
stock. Today they are picking up Mexi-
can Petroleum, Crucible. New Haven and
Pittsburgh Coal In CrucIble they are
planning something important and are
bidding 20 points above the market for
calls. New Haven is taken on the theory
that IL has seen its worst for a genera
ton and that the only change in It's
status must be an improvement. That
Improvement is beginning to make itself
apparent.
Union Pacifics report made no impress
sion on the street because the street
had 1t in confidence a week ago when
the high record prices were recorded on
the ticker.
Another factor Of strength in Union
Pacific is the report that New York
Central is earning 20 per cent. As Union
owns $4,000 par of the New York Central,
the new records in that stock are be-
coming Of market Importance to Union
shareholders. Besides there is talk OF

Foodstuffs Wanted in Latin America

w. E Aughinbaugh in Ieshe's s.
 have many times referred to the ex- cellent markets that Brazil, the Argen- tine and Uruguay offer for American fruits and vegetables, for, strange as 1t may seem, none of them raise these ar ticles so common in this country. Of course in all of Brazil and a portion of the Argentine are grown tropical fruits. They also raise large quantities of let tuce, radishes and onions. But they do not grow the harder fruits or the vege- tables which can be kept for months, such a cabbage, turn:ps, carrots, beets and garlic. The demand already exists for them, well as for apples, peaches, pears, plums, apricots berries and melons.
 To the large metropolitan towns like Rio de Janeiro, Sac Paulo, Bahia, Per rambuco, Buenos Aires, RosaTa, La Pla- ta and Montevideo come cherries from Portugal; berries rom France, Spain and Portugal; apples from New Zealand, peaches from South Africa. The various island possessions of Portugal situated near her coast supply much of Europe and all of the eastern coast of South America with tomatoes in crates Ger many and Holland formerly shipped to South America large supplies of pota- toes, cabbage, beets and carrots.
