When near the end of his funds, Brennan said that he and his wife came to Tucson, where his wife is now, according to the confession. He claims to be destitute, an asser- ton which officers believe is borne out by his condition when arrested here this morning.
 Brennan declared in his confession, which was written and signed by him during his examination by Lucy and the officials of the department of justice. that the truth of his state ment would be borne out by an in- vestigation of his bank accounts throughout the country. and trace of his expenditures is being instituted by this method.

FIRST FALL MEETING
 IF U. ). |. CHAPTER

Robert E. Lee chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, held its initial meeting yesterday with Mrs J. H. Williams, newly elected president, in the chair. The meeting was held at the country home of Mrs. E. D. Duncan and the feature of the afternoon was the talk made by Mrs. Williams. who told of her visit to- the Confederate Home in Higginsville last summer. Mrs Williams described the grounds and buildings and drew a graphic picture Of the old Confederate soldiers and their wives who are housed in the home donated for their use.
 Owing to the fact that there were unused rooms in the institution. the state of Missouri requested the use of them for union soldiers whose maintenance there is being paid by the state, Mrs. Williams said.
 At the conclusion of the address by the president the work of the coming year was informally dis cussed. It was decided to hold meet ings the second Friday of each month, the November meeting to be given over to business.

ACTIVE EXPORT DEMAND
BOOSTS WEEKS MARKET

CHICAGO. August 13.-Active ex-
port demand, together with correct
anticIpations that the government
crop report would prove bullish, has
done a good deal this week to lift
the value of wheat. Compared with
week ago, wheat prices this morn
ing showed gains of 31s cents to SIX
cents bushel; corn was 1ss to TX
cents lower to baA cents advance; !;
oats off %as cents. and provisions
down 32 to SIS cents.
Export business in wheat appeared
to have been helped by a sharp ad-
vance In sterling exchange and by
word that Germany had obtained
large credits in New York. Efforts
for worldwide relief of Russian
famine were also regarded as a stimu-
lus to foreign buying. On the other
hand, heavy profit-taking sales after
the United States government crop re-
port was out gave evidence that spec
ulation had fully discounted before
hand the big reduction in estimates
of yield as compared with the month
previous.
Renewed demand from exporters
and from domestic millers rallied the
market, but confidence on the part Of
bulls was afterward somewhat dis
turbed by announcement that wheat
production in France this season was
much greater than the trade here had
been led to believe.
Corn and oats were weakened by
the big prospective crop of corn and
by the huge visible supply of oats.

MANY INDUSTRIAL LINES
SHOWING RENEWED ACTIVITY
Increased Demand for Lumber Indicates
Awakening Of Building and Repair.
Mills Resuming Operations

been reduced this has affected more
seriously operators with stocks of
oil acquired at higher prices rather
than.those dependent upon immediate
production.
Cotton not only has maintained its
advance in price, but far more sig
nificant is the fact that the mills have
begun to buy raw cotton. They not
only are buying it but they are spin
ming it. Manufacturers are adding to
their working forces and the leading
interest has found it necessary to
put night shift on at some units
to insure required production.
1t is agreed that the live stock in
dustry. aided by the financial as
sistance rendered to growers. has
passed the danger point and the busy
looms of the woolen mills are fast
diminishing the surplus stocks of
wool which have hung heavy on the
market for many months. In this
branch of the textile trades also
night shifts have become necessary,
in some instances, to keep pace with
demand.
Record Wheat Harvests.
predictions of decrease in the
grain crop IN some sections have
been balanced by reports of record
wheat harVeStS in the northwest and
portions of the middle west, and by
tfe nigh quality of the wheat thrash
ed Grain for export is passing
through southern ports at double the
rate attained last year. AS a result,
farmers are repaying their loans,
Dank deposits are increasing and COL
lections are better than for months.
Steady shoe-factory production is
inevitable in order to supply the de-
mand, and the leather and tanning
industries are rejecting this condi-
ton.
These factors have had a cumula
tive effective on retail trade. Retail
turnovers have speeded up, and, while
merchants still are buying in COM
paratively small quantities, they are
returning to the market with ever
easing frequency. Fewer price
adjustments remain to be made, and
buyers are evidencing an increasing
Willingness to recognize that fact.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK. August 13.-Dun's re-
view of trade conditions says:
Business sentiment improves, but
actual business is still backward:
Readjustments in a number of i'm
portant basic departments have made
further progress, and this is ma
terially assisted by increasing re-
sistance to further lowering of
value. notably in cotton, wooden and
silk goods divisions, in which prices
are now apparently on stable basis,
and in hides and leather, which have
benefited by a somewhat better de-
mand from manufacturers.
'Advices from New England show
q further resumption of activity in
shoe manufacturers. with some plants
operating at full capacity, and pro-
duction in others increasing. In other
industrial centers a tendency to ex-
tend operations is noted, and, though
the Improvement is slight, as is
natural at the height of the vacation
period, the feeling as regards pros
poets for fall and winter Is decidedly
more confident. Buying fyiron and
steel remains restricted, but some in
quiries are received and the expecta-
tion is that the railroads must soon
become liberal purchasers.

CANADIAN BONDS
ATTRACT ATTENTION

NEW YORK. August 13.-In today's
bond market there was not much ac-
tivity and very little feature. The
prompt success attending the $1,000.
600 offering of the province of Sas-
katchewan six-year 6 per cent bonds
attracted increasing attention to the
Canadian provincial group in general.
The market for these bonds has been
very strong all week. with prices up
generally about / y points.
SO bid, offered at sc. the 51as Of 1929.
50 bid offered at 81. and the 6s Of

Manitoba 6s of 1925 and the IS of
1880 are both 81 bid, while 91A is bid
for the 6s of 1881.
The Saskatchewan bonds were put
out at 81 7s to yield 7k per cent. This
is a decided Improvement as compared
with three weeks ago. when the same
securities were selling on a 7.75 to 7.90
per cent basis.
Rubber Issues Firm.
United States Rubber issues were
not affected by the extreme weakness
in the stocks of the company. On the
contrary, the Z y S were stronger; they
sold at 10l a. as against 1907 yes
te.day. Westinghouse IS were better.
crossing 1O1 again as against 100B at

Heavy selling continued in the Chile
Copper 6S, carrying them down almost
another point. They were off nearly
two points from yesterday morning.
Duuuesne 6s were somewhat lower,
and so were Virginia Carolina 71as.
Cuba Cane Sugar convertible is were
helped by the statement of local
news agency that the company could
liuuidate all its bank loans if it could
sell its sugar even at the present very
low prices.
The government and railway group
was steady. with little change IN
prices. Liberties We're trlile up.
French IS at 100 and 7l2s at 9oss
were unchanged. Brazil IS were a
shade easier. The feature in the rail-,
way list was the continued demand
for the Hill road issues around their
higher prices. The Burlington 3 e
