 Private adviceS from Montreal eX- plained that the min.mum price fixing on securities listed there was due al most exclusively to the stringency of money conditions in the dominion. The new Canadian government loan which is about to be floated was being seri- Ously interfered with because of the continued weakness i.. the Toronto and Montreal stock markets and it was the bankers fear that further declines in securities would seriously affect the success of the Notation that prompted such drastic action.

The dealers say however, that they see no relief from this car shortage.

STOCK LETTER Ey R. Allyn Lewis

No one can give any intelligent opinion on the market. We have never had conditions like this before. Price has nothing to do with value. The whole country is waking up and finds that we are in the biggest war that has ever existed. That we are confronting conditions which have never existed previously. The selling is largely forced, part through fear and part through necessity.
 Commission houses were large sell CTS of steel. One of these firms with extensive wire connections reported having sold over 11,000 shares during the early part of the session This was sold on the theory that the Steel dividend is likely to be reduced at the next quarter and that under such cir eumstances the stock is likely to work lower.
 As indicating the extent to which distribution to the public has been ac- complished in some of the copper stocks, the publication of Inspira- tion's report of holdings which comes from Boston is interesting. In 1915 there were ,624 stockholders in the company; today the,e are 6,400. Di- rectors now own only per cent of the entire capital outstanding. The hold

 Selling was of a wider and more urg- ent character, and frequently was ac- celerated by bear drives. Recent e1- forts of officials of the exchange to minimize or restrict such speculative operations eliminated in official action by the exchange, requiring members to report their borrowings Of stocks to the committee on business conduct
 Encouragement created by recent de- velopments was increased by predlc- tions war taxes are likely to become onerous Financial statements issued during the day by various industrial corporations bore pertinently upon the governments taxation policy.
 Todays upheaval centered around United States Steel. That stock was offered to the extent of 5O0,G00 shares, at an extreme decline of 1R points, down to 93A, it's lowest quotation of the year, closing with a feeble rally.
 Rails were liquidated in greater quantities, many investment issues of that group. notably Pacifics and coal CTS, declining to ) points. where they registered new low records for periods of five to twenty years.
 All equipments, including conspicu- ous war stocks, suffered declines of 3 to points; likewise Mexicans, cop perH oils and miscellaneous issues. Sales amounted to 100000 shares, the largest session since the inception of the decline.
 Increased weakness was shown by bonds of all grades, especially inter- nationals. Liberty As were inactive at par and the 31a's fluctated between 99.74 and 99.94. Total sales, par value S5,64G, ,0G0

The close was unsettled, $117h December and $113A May. %c down to A up, compared with "A hours before. Oats gained Bc to AG14sc. Provisions scored net advance of soc to s1.47.

Trade was the smallest for a long time and when shorts tried to cover on a mod crate scale in the last half of the SeS- sion gradual recovery set in.

 AFFAIR AT NORMAL

TEMPE. Nov. 2.-Anong the many social events of Halloween, the frolic of the Normal proved the most popu- lar. The students were royalty en- tertained by the staff of the Tempe Normal Student, assisted by the fac ulty. and all pronounced the affair a grand success. The admission fee was l3 cents or two for 25 cents and from the minute all were assembled in the gymnasium until the last, the imps and fairies held sway. After assem- bling in the gymnasium all were es corted to various places on the campus and at last to the basement of the Industrial Arts building where they were led into ''heaven." After an in- troduction to the celestial "choir" and passing through a number of stages of the place all were served with the nectar of the gods.
 Then all were let oown by an ele- vator into "hades" and a review was taken of all the imps, devils and all who inhabit the region, and for the special benefit of the guests one poor fellow was singed over the coals, after which all were given an electr1cal shock and escorted back to the gym nasium. where a lunch of butter-kist popcorn. apples and punch was served and after the grand march, taps were sounded and the bis frolic was over.
