WHEAT PRICES GO
TO RECORD MARK.
Grain Advances So to 3.4 Cents
Due Largely To Export
Buying

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Export buying
which was said to be on large scale,
helped to elevate the wheat market
today to new high record prices for
1916, and so, too, did denials of rum
ors that rain had fallen in Argentine
The close was strong at &c at nc to
1%c net advance, with December
$780, to $l.59A, and May $1.5Sk.
Corn gained Nc to nc at nc. Oats
7sc and provisions TIC to 1852.
At first the wheat market showed
noticeable tendency to sag owing
to prevalent opinions that the bullish
effect of the Argentine drought had
been discounted >enough, especially
as some authorities expressed hope
of change soon in the weather con
ditions and as rumors were current
that rain had already fallen at Ger
tain places where needed.
Substantial gains in the last hall
of the session replaced, accordingly
the earlier losses of wheat values
and left the market in the end al
virtually the topmost prices yet this
season.
Corn as we'll as wheat was bullishly
affected by export demands. Oats
reflected the strength of other gains
but only to slight extent.

! Trading Again Exceeds Million
Mark; Railroad Groups
Active

New York, Oct. 1.-THE significant
feature in today's trading, in which
the turnover exceeded the million
share mark, was the prominence OF
the railroad group. Those shares far
outdistanced all other issues as to
combined activity and extent of gains
and impaired foundation of solidity
that occasionally was lacking in 9th.
er parts of the list.
Additional statements of earnings
furnished the motive power in elevat-
ing the railway shares, many maxi
ing best prices of the year or since
the outbreak of the war, while Nor
folk &, Western surpassed all its pre-
vious quotations on an advance OF
5 IL points to $1.45 IA.

ual leader, exerted little influence
market-wise, ranging between III and
11S ID and closing at III 5-S, net
gain of the smallest fraction Relat-
ed issues moved in narrow limits and
finished with losses of small frac-
lions to almost a point. Total sales
amounted to 1,125,000 shares.

 This is not atogethur the fault of memburs Of Congress; the peepul themselves air responsibull. The platform of one suthern statesman in campaign past and gone based upon what he characterized the wholesale footing of the treasury by the opposite party for pork in theere districts and he declared that for evveTy ham Yakee takes, propose to have hog.'

verse criticism of the Schwab residence in New York, it has few equals.
 Now let us go downtown awhile-below Chambers street. in the financial sky scraper district. That section is one of the sights of Manhattan, of course, but the ejaculations of beholders are confined to wonderful" grand, or something of that sort. Never does one hear them say 'beautiful' unless they behold the skyscraper district say, from Brooklyn bridge, shortly after twilight, when the electric lights are glowing in the win dows, and upon the towers of the Singer, the Woolworth and others. Then it is indeed beautiful. but after all it is not the architectural beauty that is beau- tiful--it is the electrical effects-elec- tricity, a nature force
 Each one of those giant structures that make lower Manhattan network of darkened city canyons, is. in sense, monument to greed, as it rises in all it's forbidding height to shut the daylight from it's neighbors. to make the cold winds colder as they struggle fiercely to be free of its obstructing presence to make the faint breezes of summer fainter still, as they grow weak with discour- agement at their inability to pursue their way.
 But each of these buildings represents great outlay. or promise, of money, and so, meeting thus once again our worldly god. we bow down in worship and in awe of him.
 And so. judgment has been so perverted. in many. by New York. that we have come. in some cases. to think that when we are able to say thing is fine or grand, brand perhaps above all-rich, that we mean beautiful. And even gran deur, in the minds of many, is confused with deformity

as to be mistaken for natures work does it achieve the desired end.
 Selfishness, covetousness and greed (though not often called by these names) have long ago robbed New York city. of the beauty of open spaces (save in the caution-covered parks, as stated pre- viously) and of lawns, terraced, plain or flower clad. There are trees on a number of our thoroughfares; even upper Broad way has four rows of them, a row along either side, and two rows in the center, and though their shade is grateful in the torrid days of summers awful worst, yet the very mur1nur of their leaves and branches in the Jersey breezes' soft caress seems to be: "Oh, cut the soft stuff; this ain't no woodland dell-this here is Broad way; watch your step!'
 And the perversion of Judgment of arch itectural beauty is perhaps most strik- ing Often have seen charmingly pretty little cottages nesting snugly. well back in tree shaded lawns, and have admired them as little bits of architectural art here such a cottage as I now have in mind would seem, at least, discordant, and the lawn-preposterous.
 We walk along the avenue and turn our admiring gaze upon one of the four stone walls of some of the rich men s ''morgues.' We see building rising three or four stories above ground: there is nothing attractive about it's contour, and its windows, and often it's doors, are nearly hidden from our view by iron bars If the family is away, ugly wooden boards hide both doors and windows, but no mat ter whether they are at home or absent, whether the wooden guards are up or not, we find ourselves remarking What a wonderful residence that is, how rich it Is, and I'll bet it Is like a palace -inside.'
 Don't you see? We are absolutely cer- tain that 1t cost lot of money to build that house and knowing. or believing this. we feel that it could not be otherwise
