New Hampshire. told the senate today
it would strike down the vicious prin-
ciple of graduated taxation which ap
pears in the pending tax bill and which
is but a modern legislative adaptation
of the communistic doctrine of Karl
Marx.
Senator Moses, a leader in the group
opposing the Republican compromise
tax revision program, declared the
measure had been plainly drawn I'M
der the inspiration of the inspiring
slogan soak the rich"
He referred to the agricultural bloc
which proposed the compromised plan
as that division of the invincible en-
pire which may be styled as the Ken
Cap-Klan." Senators Kenyon of Iowa,
and Capper, Kansas, are leaders in the
agricultural bloc.

surprise when they were arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Silberman on charges

Some had jobs to go to right away.
Others left with new found friends
who promised to get them work, while
the minors among the gathering were
sent to charitable Institutions for care
until friendly protection can be found
for them. One surly individual got
five days in the workhouse.
There were men from all parts Of
the United States, South America,
England and Europe. Magistrate Sill
herman warned the strangers he
would not repeat his action in future
cases of the Kind; that New York had
enough to do to care for its own.

MARKET LETTER.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 19-WHEAT-Wheat
showed considerable strength early in the
day but the advance brought out renewed
selling which the limited outside demand
could not absorb. Additional pessimism
was created later by the publication of a
European industrial and financial condi-
lions. In spite of the action of the market,
there were many factors suggestive of n
stronger situation. st. Louis, for instance.
reported that the largest flour sales on the
crop, while in all other markets the de-
were made from Chicago to outside mills.
the largest in some time. A Winnipeg
message said there was more cash wheat
sold there in the past As hours than ever
before in the history of the trade. If we
are to base calculations ON ordinary do
nestle consumption, the government report
on supplies as Of October first would indi-
cate that we have available for export for
the remainder of the crop year only 80 to
cal substitute for wheat, last year wheat
and flour sold at high prices, while pO-
tatoes were cheap due to a very large crop
This year the situation is quite the reverse
so that we can see no reason why domestic
consumption should be subnormal. We
concede that the market at the moment
less are confident that the fundamental
position is much stronger and that the
bottom is somewhat close at hand
CORN-Declfned with wheat but at the
same time displayed an under current of
strength rejecting indications of a mod
crate falling off in receipts and a good
cash demand. Cash prices in the local spot
market gained another y cent on the fu-
lures today. Charters were made for 800
600 bushels corn to Buffalo Any let up in
the movement Will undoubtedly be only
temporary but at the same time even
temporary cessation of cash pressure
should enable the market to respond to
any strength shown in other grains.
OATS-The action of this market was
much the same as corn, declining, only
moderately coincident with the weakness
in wheat. The cash demand was again
fairly good and prices were quoted half
cent higher. Country offerings remain
light.
