In Pennsylvania the organization has been perfected down to county com mittees and noteworthy development has been shown in a large number of sections
 One of the most notable examples of rural express work is that of Cleve- land, Akron and Canton transfer com pany. This company has fleet of 21 trucks consisting of fourteen 312 ton Packards, three of 4-ton capacity, one 5-tonner and one 6 all of the same make. In addition one 5-ton White and a 212 21ton KisselKar are used
 From twelve to thirteen of these trucks are operated between Cleve- land and Akron and make one trip day as a rule except in rush cases where round trip is made requiring about IS hours. Three other trucks of the fleet handle milk exclusively in a 40-mile radius of Akron, making from so to 100 miles per day each.

It is a well-known fact that the only place the spruce is to be found besides part of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. is in the Balkan states, controlled by Germany.

WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Adjusting it. self further to the extraordinary changes in the international situation, the securities market this week in dulged in another excess of speculative enthusiasm, the daily overturn of more than one million shares being accom- panied by many substantial gains.
 To what extent the public figures in the movement remains matter of conjecture but from the activity of commission houses with interior con nections it may be assumed that in vestors formed a large proportion.
 There were also reports of marked accession of foreign participation, chiefly from London and Holland. Financial interests in the latter coun- try are known to have acquired large holdings of low priced railroad stocks in the last few months, while London, it is believed, sent over orders for rails of the higher class. Some of the gains of the week were accompanied by a volume of trading and violent fluctua- tions which bordered upon the sensa tional. Mexican Petroleum for ex- ample, rose from 130 to 194, closing at a net gain of 45 points.
 Other oils, coppers and the rails recorded extreme advances of five to twenty points, but some of these were materially reduced in the constant profit taking and more particularly the violent reaction at the close of today's session.
 The more distinctive war stocks, notably those of the usual filling con tracts for munitions and ordinance, also tobaccos, feathers and related spe- cialties, were irregular or heavy at times. United States Steel registered an extreme advance of almost nine points, forfeiting about half at the end

Columbus, Ohio-Ohio has 5000 farm tractors in operation, against few more than 1000 a year ago. says N. E. Shaw, state secretary of agri- culture.
 H. C. Ramsower and c. W. McCuen professors of agricultural engineering Ohio State University, who conducted numerous tractor demonstrations dur ing the summer, say they believe Ohio is one of the banner tractor states of the country l.. H. Lightcap, chairman of the governors tractor committee, calls it a "howling success"
 MT. Lightcap says that aside from the resultant increased food produc- tion and relief of the labor shortage, the principal benefit of the campaign was the establishment of friendlier and closer relations between farmers and rural bankers.

instance, declining sharply from it's top quotation of IA to no Is and closing With loss of 2A points.
 In all probability the market for certain stocks had become somewhat vulnerable and traders, availing them selves of this condition, sold freely with resultant uncovering of many stop loss" orders. Total sales for the two hours amounted to almost 900 900 shares, exceeding in volume any other two hours of the weeks busy sessions.
 An increase of s64 100000 in actual net deposits and a S22,000,000 con traction in excess reserves, were the features of the weekly bank statement.
 Bonds, including liberty issues, were steady to firm on enlarged operations. Sales (par value) were $6,300,000.
 United States bonds (old issues) were unaltered on call during the week.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19-On a further accumulation of buying orders from professional and public sources, today's stock market opened with a fresh de- monstration of activity and strength, speculative issues again featuring the advance.
 Mexican Petroleum once more claim cd attention by reason of it's spectacu- lar course, rising 12 points to the new high record of 194 but suddenly react ing to 175A in the heavy selling of the last h minutes of the session.
 Many other prominent stocks also yielded much or all their advance.
