FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, oct. 4-The significant feature of today's trading, in which the turnover again exceeded a million shares by a comfortable margin, was the prominence of the railroad group. Those shares far outdistanced all oth- CT issues as to combined activity and extent of gains, and imparted a foun- dation of solidity that occasionally Was lacking in other parts of the list.
 Additional statements of earnings furnished the motive power in elevat- ing the railway shares, many making the best prices of the year, or since the outbreak of the war while Nor folk & Western surpa ssed all it's pre- Iious quotations on an advance of F points to $1.45A.
 Other notably strong rails included Union Pacific. which responded to its remarkable report fer the fiscal year In these issues gains exceeded from 1 to points, with nominal recessions at the close.
 Industrials, equipments, munitions coppers and motors moved irregularly with further substantial gains in the paper shares, American Linseed, com mon and preferred, Central Leather, and Hides and Leathe preferred at the new record of 757s. Sugars also sup plemented recent advances on reports of heavy sales to foreign interests and the shares O. the several express com panies rose 3 to 4 points.
 United States Steel, while again the individual leader, exerted little influ- ence marketWise, ranging between SLY and $1.1Sh and closing at $117% T net gain of the smallest fraction. Related issues moved in narrow limits finished with losses of small fractions to almost a point Total sales amount cd to 1,125,000 shares.
 There Was more activity 10 foreign exchange marks and rubles shading on small offerings. Sterling bills were steady with checks on Paris. Bonds were active and strong, total sales, par value, $61S0000 United States bonds were unchanged on call

CHICAGO, Oct. 4-Export buying which was said to be on a large scale helped to elevate the wheat market today to new high record prices for 1916, and so too did denials of rumors that rain had fallen in Argentine. The close was strong at $ O %c to 13sc net advance. with Decembe~ at $1.59R to 4 and May at $L5Sl2. Corn gained 4 to $4 @5sc oats Hsc and provisions F cents to S1.62.
 At first the wheat market showed noticeable tendency to sag owing to prevalent opinions that the builis1 effect of the Argentine drought had been discounted especially as some authorities expressed hope of a change Tn the weather conditions and rumors were current that rain already had fallen at certain places where need : ed. There were also intimations from British sources that measures were being taken to enlarge to a material extent the amount of shipments from Australia. On the ensuing decline. however, indications pointed unmis i takablY to resumption of active buying for Europe and it was shown by late dispatches that the reports of rain relief in the Argentine drought region were without any good basis
 Substantial gains in the last half ot the session replaced the earlier losses of wheat values and left the market in the end at virtually the top most prices yet this season.
 Corn as well as wheat was bullishlv affected by export demand. Oats reflected the strength of other grain, | but only to a slight extent.
 A squeeze of shorts in October pork tended to lift the provision mari ket as q whole.

A young factory hand and his girl
went to get married. They got as far
as the church, when he found out he
hadn't enough money to pay the we'd
ding fee. The clergyman would not
marry them, saying: mo money, no
wedding"
So the girl asked would he wait
till she went home for the money.
The clergyman said eyes"
In a little while the girl returned
with the money and the knot was duly
tied.
The girl now said to the clergyman
"Can anyone oppose our union?"
To which he replied:
Nobody, my daughter. Heaven
bless YOU"
The girl said:
"Then there's the pawn ticket for
your hat and coat, which took from
the vestry and pawned!"
