The Chicago Real Estate Board
has taken steps to align itself with
any citizen who has reason to bes
lieve that he has been the victim
of dishonest practices on the part
of a real estate man. The board
will institute an investigation of
any alleged malpractice and
through its attorney commence
prosecution proceedings against
any offending real estate man. be
he member of the board or not.
The action was taken at the ad-
journed annual meeting of the
board which voted unanimously to
adopt a change in the bylaws
whereby the organization can
come to the aid of either citizens
or brokers who believe that they
have been deceived. The board
thus takes a firm stand against
any and all irregularities. The
clause in the bylaws, which has
not yet been written in, provides
that upon the filing Of a complaint.
Attorney John Lyle Vette shall
make thorough investigation.
Then, should the complaint be jus
titled. the board will proffer both
legal and. financial aid. in the
prosecution. Action will be taken
whether or not the offender is Q

PITTSBURGH. Nov. 1s.-One OF

consumption demand in the past
two or three weeks. Tin plate is

customers, to be shipped and in
voiced after January l.
In pipe mill products the recent
improvement is distributed about
equally between standard steel pipe
and oil country goods, there being
a fair demand, not very much below
normal. in each of the two great
lines. Pipe mill operations have in
creased somewhat in the past month
or two. and now average fully so

Demand for OIL Country Goods.
While the winter shuts off nearly
all demand for oil country goods In
the Pennsylvania and Wyoming
fields, operations can be continued
fairly well in Texas, Oklahoma and
California. and these States have
been showing a fair and increasing
demand for oil country goods. at
tributable, of course, to recent in
creases in oil prices.
Under date of September Is. re-
duced price lists were issued on all
welded tubular goods, in recogni-
tion Of shading that had been ram
pant for weeks. and within two or
three weeks shading or the new lists
began to appear. Since then the
shading has become more wide
spread. both by more independent
mills participating, and by their
making concessions to wider
range of clientele, but the shading
has not gone any deeper in the past
few weeks. 1t is not enough to
disturb the position of the Steel
Corporation, which is obtaining its
share of the trade at its regular
prices, and there is no particular
prospect that prices will have to be
reduced while fundamental items of
cost are as they stand now. A re-
duction in freight rates might alter
the situation.

BOND MART RISES
DURING PAST WEEK
Volume Increases and Trade
Expands While List Gains
Substantially.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-After dis
playing a halting tendency during
the first of the month, the bond
market surged forward again after
some irregularity on the first two
days this week. Not only were there
substantial advances in prices in
both the railroad and industrials
groups but volume increased and
trading spread out over much
broader list. A prime contributing
factor to the advance in prices and
renewed activity is definite ease in
money rates. Not only has call
money been obtainable on the stock
exchange throughout the greater
part of the week at Al per cent
but the time money rate has now
got down to per cent for all ma
