 Weeks
By Associated Press

New York, October 26.-Trading in stocks today was professional and restricted, the languid movement being conditions Signs in that quarter pointed to continued tightening of de- mand and time loans.
 Call money opened at per cent, the highest initial rate in many weeks and rose to 10 per cent later, but the withdrawal of almost s3o,0oo,oo0 from local banks for federal requirements caused no unsettlement.
 British exchange lowered around yes terday's recovered levels. and advices from London tended to support hopes of a speedy termination of the coal strike. but trading between this center and the British metropolis was very light.
 Domestic developments were in keep ing with long -exisHng %onditions, es- pecially the industrial situation. Trade authorities reported additional curtail- ment of pig iron production and motor specialties reflected further sharp cuts in price of tires.
 The most noteworthy incident of the day-the third quarterly report of tho United States Steel Corporation-did Hol colie .uHtll alter the ciOSe ol tile session. Total earnings aggregated slightly over $4S, 000,0o an increase oi almost s4.9o0.O0o over the previous pc. riod, were in line with most forecasts

New York. october 26.-There were very irregular fluctations in the cotton market today.

The general market closed barely steady, net unchanged to forty points higher, most months being ten to twen- ty-five points above last nights clos ing.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of two to twenty -one points and soon sold forty to fifty-nine points net lower as result of realizing, selling for reaction. and moderate offerings from the south. The latter were by nc means heavy, however, and after this decline to 21.05 for January and 21.9c for March, prices turned firmer on 2 continued demand from Liverpool ane renewed covering. The latter was promoted by reports of further rains 1T the south which. traders felt. were damaging the cotton open in the fields There also seemed to be covering bS recent sellers who had anticipated tha' advances above the 20-cent level woule meet increased spot offerings from th' eastern belt and who were disappointed by the absence of hedge selling.

WHEAT SWINGS UPWARD
 ON ST0PPAGE OF RURAL SELLING EXPORT DEMAND
By Associated Press

Chicago, october 26. Big upward swings in the, price of wheat took place today. accompanied by signs of concerted stoppage of rural selling and by increased export demand. The mar ket closed strong 914 to 1OAc net high CT with December 2o9h to 2os%, and March 2o2k to 202% Corn gained IF to 2hc, and oats l s to 114> to 15sc. In provisions the outcome varied from 25c decline to rise of 1.10.
 Wheat began to ascend in price as soon as the market opened, but 1t was not until near the end of the day that evidence of unusual momentum ap- peared. Then houses that have been conspicuous of. late on the selling side reversed their position, and covered on broad scale. Gossip spread mean while, that country offerings were be- ing confined largely to elevator sources and that farmers were letting go of but paratively little of their hold ings. Ready credence was given ir some quarters to opinions that the farmers strike, announced sometime ago as intended to become effective last night. had been responsible. At tho same time. estimates of export busl- ness done today mounted rapidly, totals ranging from 1,25o 900 bushels to D. 900, 900 bushels, British and French governments having been purchasing ir India also, it was said
 Independent strength was given tc corn and oats by announcements ol heavy export buying of corn--700, 00( bushels for Belgium, 250,o00 bushels for Germany and five loads for Hol' >land.
 Higher quotations in hogs gave a de cided lift to active deliveries of pro visions.

Keeping Out Bubonic Plague

Hereward Darlington, in Leslie's.\
 It Is now definitely known that rats, infected with the germs of the plague, carry the disease about with them from place to place, and thus disseminate infection. Strict measures have. there-s fore, been taken to prevent the spread of the dread disease by keeping these rats from landing, when there is req son to suspect that the ship is harbor- ing the plague. If therefore, you take walk along the water front of New York or San Francisco. you will find many vessels moored to the piers with hawsers that support. about midway to the dockhead, large metal disks.
 These are rat shields and constitute one of the means now being utilized by the United States government public health service to prevent the germs of the bubonic plague from being brought into this country by rats. The shield is of metal, which the rat cannot gnaw through, so that 1t can only return to the vessel or fall off into the water. y
 The bubonic plague is one of the most fatal diseases which has ever visited our earth. It has destroyed hundreds of thousands of human lives, and even today it's ravages are terrific. Tn India and the tropics this disease flourishes-- spreading with enormous rapidity. The plague germs have now been isolated, and are known to affect every part Of the body Their appearance is peculiar, resembling elongated rings. The ma jority of cases are still fatal.
