WALL STREET MARKET
SHOWS STEAD|ER Tone

NEW YORK, October Silt seems
that the general market position is not
one to be judged on merely technicai
grounds. There is real liquidation by
people who have not realized very early
rev conditions that are factors making
for extreme conservatism.
The restrictive influence Of money and
margin regulations is not one arbitrar-
lily imposed by body without author
ity, but is backed up by the federal re-
serve board, which is the court Of last
resort. The necessity for compliance
is being brought home to speculative in
terests, but who have not in the past
recognized any superior constituted au-
thority.
Each man must form his own con-
illusions as to the meaning of and the
reason for the United States Steel divi-i
dend cut; each must register his con-
clusion as to whether the cut is tenn.
porary or whether the post-bellum pc
riod Of Encouragement is to establish
an entirely new basis of relative posi-
ton as between past earnings and div
idends. Brokers prefer for the pres
ent. to advise a very conservative pol
ICY IN the market.
A volume of borrowed stocks was
reported returned last night, indicat-
ing that short account had covered
with ease; and there was small bor-
rowing demand. meaning that the new
short account was small. Only In
few rails, marines and coppers Is there
special evidence Of important buying;
the balance of the market seems still
poised between hope and fear.
Heavy Selling at Opening.
Further heavy selling of popular
issues attended the active opening OF
today's stock market, United States
Steel bearing the brunt of the move
ment at decline of a large frac-
ton. High-grade rails also reacted.
Canadian Pacific lost 2 points.
These recessions were balanced by
"a five-point rise in Mexican Petroleum
and advances of 1 to 2 points in Ma
rine preferred. American Smelling,
Baldwin Locomotive, General Motors,
By the end of the first half hour
most losses were fully retrieved,
Steel rallying ~ points.
Gains Scored in Rally.
On the early rebound, the more i'm
portant industrials and equipments
comprising the war group rallied with
United States Steel and oils also
scored further gains, but rails made
an Indifferent showing, aside from the
consistent strength of Southern Pacific.
Much Of the Improvement was sac
rificed in the second hour. when fresh
selling forced United States Steel down
2 points from it's best, other leaders
reacting to like extent.
Before midday, however, fresh sup
port was seen in Steels and other prom
inent issues. the market then showing
firmer tendencies all around.
Market Shows Steadier Tone.
AS the session progressed the mar
ket showed q steadier tone, modest
recoveries being in order, and mid
way in the second hour of the after
noon the list was at about the best
prices of the session.

mo QUORUM" BALKS
/ DEBATE IN THE SENATE
Absence of Members Also Delays
Emergency Agricultural Appro-
l. priation Bill.

Determined to prevent a discussion
of political and international affairs,
the democrats in the Senate forced an
adjournment of that body Immediately
after it assembled today by demand
ing a quorum. There is not quorum
of senators in the city. and the only
action which could be taken by the
Senate was to adjourn until tomorrow.
Before the Senate met the demo-
cratic steering committee held meet
ing to determine its course.
The motion to adjourn was made by
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, who
also raised the point of no quorum.
Senator Smith has charge of the con-
ference report on the emergency ag-
ricultural appropriation bill. with it's
Pomerene rent-proht cering amend
ment. which was expected 10 come up
for consideration in the Senate today.
Democrats Face Problem.
The Senate democrats tomorrow will
have to decide whether they wish to
permit the republicans to talk politics
and discuss the international situation
or to abandon temporarily a joint reso-
luton to continue for another month
the emergency appropriations for the
Department of Agriculture. The old
continuing resolution expires tonight.
If the democrats permit the joint reso-
luton to come up tomorrow, it having
passed the House today the resolution
Will be deba table. and the republicans
will have full opportunity to talk as
much as they desire.
The republican senators insisted on
placing the democrats on record on
the motion to adjourn. All those pres

Places Democrats on Record.
Senator Brandegee of Connecticut,
republican, who made the demand for
a roll call on Senator Srith's motion
to adjourn. said he desired to place
the democrats on record as opposing
a discussion of the Presidents recent
political letter and the peace notes.
Il wanted to show to the country
that the republicans are here and
ready to transact business" said the
will not attempt to adjourn for three
days at Il time. for such Il motion
would be debatable, and under il we
could discuss the Presidents recent
political activities. SO they have taken
the method OF adjourning each day
to shut OF Il discussion of political
affairs"
On the other hand. democratic lead
ers said daily Senate sessions inter-
fere with completion by the finance
committee OF the war revenue bill. and
until that is reported they felt no
business should extend the Senate's
sessions.
The House. awaiting action by the
Senate. interrupted it's three-day re-
cess program by adiourning until to-
morrow, Democratic Leader kitchin
saying that the Senate might then be
willing 10 talk adjournment"

Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against a common enemy
is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred In the intestines. When you

breath is offensive, or plrnples appear
on the face and neck, 1t is time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept In good condition. just as
the guns or machinery of a ship. Why
should q human person neglect his own
machinery more than that Of his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has a dark brown color. skin sallow.
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half q century.
They r made of May-appie, leaves Of

M'kELv|E TALK
IN ALLIANCE IS
WELL RECEIVED
Tack Of Interest in the Demo.
cratic Candidate and Bad
Weather Make ReCep-
> ton Small.

Alliance, Neb., Sept. H.-(spe-
sial.)-S. R. McKelvie, republican
candidate for governor and H. G.
Taylor, candidate for the railway
commission, addressed a meeting at
the opera house last evening, which
10 declared by local republicans to
have been the most successful politi-
cal meeting held in Alliance in six
years. A crowd of between $50 and
200 people was in attendance, and
received the addresses with unusual
enthusiasm.
A feature OF the meeting was the
attendance of a party of II farmers,
who drove through 10 or Il miles OF
mud to hear Mr.. McKelvie. Prior
to the meeting a dinner was tend
cred the McKelvie party at the AL
lance hotel, which was attended by
so local citizens, and at which short
addresses were made by the two
candidates. Enthusiasm for Mr.. Nc
Kelvie runs high in Alliance and his
visit and address has stimulated his
supporters to renewed activity.
In his address Mr.. McKelvie dis
eussed national and state issues very
much after the manner of his
speeches at other points. His point
to the effect that if the peace party
could have accomplished so much
in the last IS months, the war party
could have achieved great deal
more, was received with prolonged
applause. The audience exhibited
equal approval when the speaker
challenged the statement of his op-
ponent that the election of the re-
publican ticket will cause Joy and
bonfres in Berlin.
Discuss Potash Industry.
With reference to the potash in
dustry Mr.. McKelvie enlarged upon
the statement contained in the re-
publican platform, which declares
for development on basis which
will reserve to the people of the
state the public interest therein. He
said that the great need for this
product prompted the handling OF
this industry in such a way as to
encourage the largest possible pro-
duction and eliminate speculation in
potash lands through the chan
nels of political favorltism.
The candidate for governor reiter-
ated his statement that the tax bur-
dens of the people of the state had
been more than doubled since 1907
and read in support of his claim a
statement from the Nebraska Legis-
lative Reference Bureau to the effect
that, according to the published
statement of the state auditor, the
aggregate appropriations made by
the legislature of 1907 were $4,367,
1881. and those of the legislature
Of 1917 totaled 1904, 1904. These
sums include only money raised by
direct taxation@"
Governor Neville spoke In ALI
ance last night, but owing to the in
clement weather and the lack of in
terest in his candidacy less than 50
people were in attendance. Mr.. Ne
vile spoke but few minutes. The
attitude of the state administration
toward the potash industry has Gre
