NEW YORK. October s.-The incl

mainly favorable, taking the situa-
tion as a whole. A further advance
in oil prices. continued improvement
in the position of the copper metal

important contributions in the trade
movement. They furnish further tes-
timony to the change for the better

WEEKS GRAIN PRICES
AT new LOW FOR 1921

- CHICAGO, October S.-All grain
prices have fallen this week to a new
low record for 1921. Heavy supplies
on hand threatening to result in Sc
rious congestion of elevators. appear
ed to be largely responsible. Com
pared with week ago, wheat this
morning was 10a. to II cents a bushel
lower, corn off u to u. oats down
ss to 25s, and provisions varying
from unchanged figures to a decline
of 80.
notwithstanding rallies at times
owing to a decrease in the stock of
wheat afloat on the ocean and be-
cause enlargement of the domestic
visible supply total was less than in
the previous week, the downward
sweep of values was practically with
out any decided interruption. With
European demand very slow for
United States wheat, bears put spe-
cial stress on the big stocks at Kan
sas City, and on the possibility of
shipments being made from there TO
Chicago. Sharp attention was. there
fore, directed to reported scarcity of
available storage room. especially
here and in the south and southwest.
In this connection. talk was current
of a possible railway embargo against
wheat shipments to New Orleans:
Meanwhile. general liquidation by
holders took place. and no lasting
progress was achieved by spectators.

of the severe fall in prices.
Disappointing hus&ing advices tend
ed to retard the decline in corn. Oats
were but little affected by suspension
of a leading firm in tie oats trade.
Provisions weakened with grain.

the farmers are rushing their. wheat to

They are selling now BECAUSE they
have given up hope of seeing prices at

further decline in case the Argentine
and Australian harvests turn out as

stock man and the raiser Of corn, and
very little for the wheat grower under
present conditions. This is d fact which

of the country and its bearing upon
the general trade outlook.
AS 1T looks now, the position in the
cotton trade Is approaching some-
thing of deadlock. On the one hand
the mills are using up their low
priced staple and will soon have to
advance their own prices. in order to
cover the increased cost represented
by the present twenty-cent raw cot
ton. This may readily involve a fall
ing off in the demand for cotton
goods, with similar curtailment of
the trade demand for cotton itself.

On the other hand. the southern cot

They have greatly improved their
standing at the banks and will be
able to obtain abundant credit If they
choose to hold out for high prices.

by the worlds statistics of supply.
The stock market, that is. the main
body of stocks. continues to mark
time. 1t neither gains nor loses any
ground to speak of. When We OBJ
serve that steel common has been
moving for the last two weeks with
in range of little more than a point
we get the proper picture of the mar
ket's immobility. Prices are up
enough from the bottom to measure
thetrade recovery that has occurred
so far. The market is now waiting
to see whether this recovery will go
further or not. Meanwhile. the in
vestment demand continues very
keen and, along with the quick alb
sorption of new security Issues. a
large number of listed bonds have
sold this week at new high points for
1921.

Except for Houston Oil. which ran
up with considerable violence, the

Recovery went further in the

Notes.

KANSAS CITY. October tSpeciap
The action of the Kansas coal
miners in striking in sympathy with
their president. Alexander Howa.,
when he was sent to jajI for vol
t'oh or the state anti-strike law, is
threatening a serious coal shortage
IN this territory. For the first time
the miners have withdrawn pump
men from the mines. 1t is claimed
by operators that it will be weeks
even before the mines could be pump
ea out and put in shape for produc-
tlon. Fewer industrial plants and
householders have put in winter sup
plies of coal than ever before in fbe
history of the district. Just how
severe the shortage will be is de-
pendent on the extent to which oil
mas been adopted as a fuel The coal
dealers have blamed this substitution
for the slowness of the market, saw
ing that the low price of fuel oil had
caused many such changes.

THE BOND OF SCOUTING

S. H. Marshall an English scout Off
cial who visited this country recently,
writes as follows in an article in The
Trail, the official organ of the London
scout council:
American boy scouts are very much
as we are
1T is a tremendous responsibility
upon the shoulders of the executives
of the Boy Scouts of America, and our
own executives to guide Alright the
thoughts, hopes and aspirations of the
youth Of these two great English
speaking nations. We must remem-
Der our colonies are part Of us and
our great empire, but Americans owe
allegiance to their own President and
government, though they speak our
tongue-surely the closest of ties 1t
is therefore our bounden duty to take
every step we can to further the
closest relationship possible between
us. Animated by the same ideals as
we are. it should be our aim to de-
stroy all thoughts Of distrust and sus-
plcion between the two great nations
and encourage the hope that working
together we can really make the
world safe for democracy Among all
the American scout officials there Is
the keenest desire to learn all about
u.s. to study the best that is in us and
take 1t to ourselves. From our age
long character, from our qualities Of
perseverance and doggedness, they can
learn something, whilst we, too, from
their buoyant enthusiasm and youth,
can help ourselves to the full. Who
knows but what the boy scout move
ment in America will have the great
est influence that any movement in
that country has ever had in shaping
the destinies Of great people, and
In binding together two people hav-
ing more In common than any other
people in the world?"

COAL scARes

Coal operators are again predicting
coal famine ii consumers do not
buy their coal early. But the public
remembers what happened last year,
and is loath to respond to the opera
tors cry OF wolf. The danger Of
a coal famine was loudly proclaimed
by the operators a year ago. Later
it developed that the campaign was
well planned as a means to maintain
prices at an outandish level The
scheme worked pretty well last year,
and a lot OF people purchased coal
in the summer, and stored it for
several months, at prices higher than
prevailed in midwinter.
The public is not in mood to be
fooled again. There is a very gen
eral feeling that 1t isn't a coal fam
inc the operators fear SO much as
prices IL they cannot stimulate buy
ing We all remember the strike of
the coal miners In the fall of 1919.
II lasted until the coal reserves of
the country were cleaned out. Then,
with bitter cold weather upon us. the
miners went to work again and
enough coal was mined and deliv-
cred to supply the needs of severe
winter. In the light of that expert
ence, the people are not going to take
coal-famine talk seriously.
There isn't any question, of course,
but that it would be much better for
the coal industry and the public gen.
orally II large number of consum-
ers would buy their winter coal sup
ply the previous spring and summer
That would keep the coal moving in
a fairly uniform stream the year
around, give the miners steady en-
ployment-instead of the intermittent
employment they now have-and not
clog the railroads with heavy coal
movement in the fall and early win
ter. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, 1t may be wise to buy next
winters coal now and make sure
of it.
But the operators themselves are
to blame If they have trouble induc-
ing early buying this year. If they
are going to fall into the habit Of
engineering early-buying campaigns
merely to scare the people into pay
ing unreasonable prices for coal, they
cannot expect the people to continue
to respond. The whole situation
shows the folly Of allowing the most
accessible coal deposits of the coun-
try to become monopolized.-Ne-

THE WOMAN'S CLUB

n HE importance for the business
i or professional woman of be-
longing to club is real one. WOm-
ems work both in business and the
professions Is still in fluid condition.
Changes are in progress. new stand
ards are being established, and the
effect Of the vote is being felt. To
get the benefit of these changes,
woman needs to know what Is being
done in her special neighborhood and
by her group of workers. There is no
better way of doing this than by join
ing club, especially club affiliated
with the Federation Of Business and
Professional Women's clubs.
1t is not only the direct contact
with other women working in your
own field that benefits you In such
club, but the contact with women
In other branches. With that comes a
widening Of opportunity. The woman
uot happy in her work can often find
another opening through her club ac-
luaintances and club activities. She
Is constantly aware of what is going
on, and she sees what is being done
oy other women. Together with them
she can direct her effort to putting
through proposed schemes for better
ing the standing Of women earners.
A good business club for women Is
an asset to any community. If there
IS no such club In your community,
start one. Get the other women to-
gether, get in touch with the feder-
ltion, and start your club. 1t will be
an assistance to every business and
professional, woman In your town.
