WALL STREET MARKET
LESS ACTIVE, Lower
Public Interest Smaller Than at Any
Time for Weeks Past-Bear
Pressure Exerted.
Moderate Losses Bring Proft-Tak
ing Covering, With Partial Re-
coveries- Is Weak.

| NEW YORK, October 11-There was
| comparatively little interest in the
stock market today. The great bull
market. with the public in control and
! the professionals powerless to stop 1t,
has been sidetracked by German sub
marine.
| Records show that the public in its
! relations with Wall street accepts such
warnings as were given on Monday as
a signal to get out; margins exhausted.
in this case big profits gone, too, there
| was nothing else to do.
| 1t has been. general practice
| heretofore, that public speculation
comes in cycles: that the public beaten
stays away for many days, dreading a
/ repetition.
| Whether Mondays smashing losses
were sufficient to drive the public out for
many days or months remains to be seen.
The decline was not continued below the
10 to 20 point recessions and many were
able to save part of their margins if not
part of the profits. The suffering was
probably more from loss of profits than
! from wiping out of all margins.
| Whatever the immediate future will
show, the public is largely out of the
market now.
| Today's Session Less Active.
L. is probable that the million share
average will not be reached today.
| With the immediate opening further
small Improvement in values was
| shown, perhaps a fraction more gained
| and then lower prices were established
on everything, the bears working for
a decline and not meeting with much
| opposition.
where the next torpedoing may occur
or when. The retention of ships in the

! freight and conditions are somewhat
| unsettled.
| Moreover, tomorrow will be a market
! holiday, Columbus day, and few traders
i care to go over the period long of
| stocks.
| and two points. less marked in the rails
4 than in the industrials.
Spectators Take Profits.
| The fact that tomorrow will be a
holiday worked two ways-restricting
trade and making the bears of the
| early morning cover in an attempt to
! take their profits before the close.
| After steel COmLlOH Hcu ucClIHtu "
/ 11O. it came back to fraction better

| Many other stocks showed similar
action, Locomotive, ColoradAEuel and

all of their earlier decline.
Crucible Steel was 3a off, Industrial
+. Alcohol 1A, Studebaker 1A, Baldwin
Locomotive 1 Hs. Mercantile ~. and
many other shares 1 to 13s off from
yesterdays closing
National Biscuit and Ohio Gas were
| exceptions to the weakness, making 4
points gain.
| Action in the rails was much the same
| as in the industrials, only little less
! active.
} For the first time in weeks the first
| hours sales fell below 900. 900 shares.
Selling Pressure Resumed.
| In the final hour of the session the

pressure being exerted and with such

PURCHASE IN AUSTRALIA
BY BRITISH DEPRESSES
Wheat Market Reflects Divertine of
Vessels to Convey Grain Sup
ply to Europe.

CHICAGO. october 11.-Announcement
that the British government had pur-
chased 1850. 000o bushels of wheat in
Australia acted as depressing influence
today on wheat prices here. 1t appeared
that arrangements were being made to
divert vessels to Australia to convey to
Europe the newly acquired supply. and
it was this fact especially that gave an
advantage to the bears. Hopes were
greatly lessened that the action of the
British government in taking over the
entire import business of the United
Kingdom would bring about quick in
crease of the number of vessels avail
able for the transport of wheat from the
United States.
Opening prices. which ranged from u
to ~ lower. with December at 159 to
1.59A and May at 1.5SA to 1851, were
followed by material setback all

May Increase Interest Rate.
I, is within the probabilities that the
Southern Railway Company will take
steps within the comparatively near
future to increase the rate of interest
paid on its per cents. after the man
ner of the Atlantic Coast Line. The
latter corporation had a per cent IN
terest-bearing bond issue on its only
outstanding open mortgage. just as
Southern Pacific has. new per
cent issue was ordered and an equitable
exchange was made with the holders
of the As, eliminating the lien ahead OF
the general mortgage then created.
1t is believed that directors of the
Southern railway will take similar ac-
ton with promise, perhaps, OF hai1 OF
/ per cent increase in rate
1t is argued that the existence of the
present 4 per cent issue would MAKE
less inviting any issues that might 1ol-
low the As but that new issue, the
holders of the As being willing to yield
preference for the added interest and
In the interest of needed development

March of next year, and arrangements
will have to be made to take care of the

The situation in the iron and steel
trade has changed none from the tense
and excited phase into which It entered
a fortnight ago when pig iron advanced
sensationally and prices of steel prod
ucts assembled as a result Of the increase
in iron costs and the shortage in labor
and transportation facilities. In these
important productive factors the sltua-
ton has not changed any for the better.
while pig irons have advanced further,
SCI having in one case been offered for
Bessemer without bringing out any iron,
and basic has gone to $3.50.
Bessemer has entered the famine class.
The United States Steel Corporation a
week ago advanced its minimum from 50
to 1910 per 100 pounds. on plates, and
this week has increased that price to
1925. which shows the serious condition
in the plate market. Prices OF coke for
immediate shipment nave advanced to
above IS per ton. this being really due
more to the car shortage than to any
other cause. Some relief Is expected
from the fact that from this time forth
shipments OF coal to the lakes will close,
but the cars released by the closing OF
lake navigation will be but a small per-
centage OF the number needed in the
Pittsburgh district alone.

DEATH OF REV. A. G. MOORE

We inadvertently omitted to publish in the Tribune last week the death of the estimable citi- zen and christian gentleman whose name appears at the head of this notice. The sad event occurred at his home in Green Forest on Saturday, May 6, 1916, after a long and painful illness.
 Rev. MT. Moore came to this section from Missouri some three years ago, and by his godly walk and kindly nature endeared him. self to all with whom he met, and his going hence has caused great sorrow in the community. In his death the Methodist Epis- copal Church, South, loses an able and jealous worker in the Masters vineyard.
 Rev. Moore was in the 71st year of his age at the time of his demise.
 The funeral services were con- ducted Sunday afternon, May 2, in the Methodist church, by the pastor, Rev. MT. Neal, who paid a glowing tribute to the dead, both as a citizen and a follower of the Meek and Lowly One. Af- ter the funeral services the body was carried to Pickens cemetery, where it was tenderly consigned to Mother Earth.
 He leaves his wife and two married daughters to mourn his departure, but this promise
 Blessed are they that die in thu Lord for they shall see God, should console them in thei great sorrow.

PATRIOTISM


 A 1ption is made great, not by it's fruitfu'H~Sres, but by the mer who cultivate them; not by its great forests, but by the men who use them; not by it's mines, but by the men who X ork IT them; not by it's railways, but by the men who build and run them. America was great land when Columbus discovered it; Ameri- cans have made of it a great Nation.
 In l776 our fathers had vision of new Nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the prop- osition that all men are created equal. :" Without an army they fought the greatest of existing, world empires that they might realize this vision. A third of a century later, without navy they fought the greatest navy in the world that they might win for their nation the freedom of the seas. Half d century later they fought thro' an unparalleled Civil War that they might estab- fish for all time on this continent the inalienable right of life, lib- erty, and the pursuit of happi ness. A third of a century later they fought to emanipate an op- pressed neighbor, and, victory won, gave back Cuba to the Cubans, sent an army of school masters to educate for liberty the Filipinos, asked no war in demnity from their vanquished enemy, but paid him literally for his property. Meanwhile they offered land freely to any farmer who would live upon and cuIti- vate it, opened to foreign immi- grants on equal terms the door of industrial opportunity, shared with them political equality and provided by universal taxation for universal education.
 The cynic who can see in this history on a theme for his ego tistical satire is no true Ameri- can, whatever his parentage, whatever his birthplace. He who looks with pride upon this history which his fathers have written by their heroic deeds, who ac- cepts with gratitude the inherit
