in the army. He had taken out life in

ment. His father, e G. Paul, made
application for the $4,000 insurance. 1t

OF several thousand dollars by fire of
unknown origin on Friday afternoon
about 2:3O o'clock. Only the prompt ar
rival of the fire department prevented
a total loss of the home and contents.
John Cook, who lives in the same
block, saw smoke coming from the roof
and rushed to the Bollen home, only to
find that no one was at home, SO he
telephoned in the alarm from a neigh
boris house. The department respond
ed promptly and it was only a few mo-
ments before a hole was chopped in
the roof near the chimney, where the
fire seemed to be the worst and the
chemical put into action. Two lines OF
hose We're connected up and with the
use of these the blaze was soon under

fire in the kitchen stove early in the
morning to prepare breakfast with, but
this had gone out early in the forenoon.
In her opinion the origin Of the fire
was defective electric wiring. Electri-
clans had been at the house during the
forenoon installing a connection for a
vacuum cleaner and completed their
work at noon. Mr.. Bollen was out of

Steel Situation

The past week in the sIeel industry
presented little change in the general
outlook. Independent prices continued
to decline In the absence OF buying.
There were some cases In which they
reached the level Of those of the United
States Steel Corporation. More blast
furnaces and mills were idle. The Steel
Corporation s capacity was maintained
Mt around 80 per cent. There Is no

ting this year an adjustment Of prices
that will cause free buying and the

market experienced another drastic de-
cline with all months making new low
prices for the season as compared with
the previous low Of October 18th. The
market is now down over 20c per pound
for futures Of the present crop year as
compared with the high price estab-
lished this spring, ana down over 25c
per pound from the record high price OF
around 43c for the July option. The
decline In cotton has probably been
more severe than In any other com
modify, and there was probably never

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The wave Of price reduction has eX-
tended to every part Of the world. Two
thirds Of the principal articles now be
Ing imported into the United States,
says statement BY the National City
hank OF New York, were sold In the
country Of production at a less price
than the same class Of articles sold
thirty. sixty or ninety days earlier.
Measurement Of the prices at which
the various articles which we import
are sold In the country Of production
Is. continues the bank sastatement, quite
feasible under our import laws, which
require the Official valuation Of the
articles entering our ports to be the
wholesale value In the country from
which exported to the United States,
the price nt which the articles were ac
tually sold or the average Wholesale
market price for such articles at the
port from which exported to the United
States. Thus. IL we see that the gov
ernmental reports Of the import pric,
Of any given article in the month Of
September. 1920, Is less than that OF
earlier months In the year, we may as
sumo that the average price at which
that class Of merchandise was sold In
the country Of its- production was less
at the date at which IL started to US
than in the corresponding date Of earlier
months.

Freight Movement Failing or

Officials Of railroads operating east
from Chicago and st. Louis report a
general decrease in freight Of all kinds
as compared to last year, with the ex.
ception of coal. Owing to the strike
which was on a year ago the compare
tive showing is better this year. The
cancellation Of steel orders is a big fac
tor, and with idle capacity among the
steel plants increasing the prospects
are for still further reductions in the
volume Of business. The grain move
mrnt from the farms has been lighter
than n year ago, and owing to small
receipts at Chicago the eastern haul
to the seaboard has been cut down.

TO some extent q highly informative
compnr rison. although II must be rec.
ognized in advance that fundamental
conditions In this country and the rest
of the world are very different In many
ways from those of the sixties.
"With these reservations In mind, 1t
may be- noted that during the Civil
War prices as compared to 1860 rose
to higher point than did prices dur
inc the world war az compared to 1913.
After the Civil War prices began to fall
at once, and continued to record sue

than the rallies. In 1918. on the other
hand, there was a decided drop In
prices, succeeded by a further rise that
