TRAINED BY FOREST PATROL Robert w Ruh1 in TesJie,s.

AeoDCIt w. INuHit III LcSllt S.
 The aerial forest fire patrol is not only of inestimable value to the tim ber growing states of the Pacific coast, but of great value to the United States army
 If an invading foe ever strikes at the Pacific coast maps, and similar data. direct products of forest fire patrol. will be of inestimable value tt Uncle Sam. And If the millennium arrives on schedule time. and wars cease. then with the development of the commercial airplane. the value of this data will run Into sufficient money to make the expense of the forest fire patrol look like the Ger man mark.
 In another direction the aerial for est fire patrol is of material value to Uncle Sam. The great military problem in time of peace Is to main tain fighting morale. To an extraor- .dinary degree. fighting forest fires calls forth the same qualities re- quired in fighting an armed foe. Lo- eating a forest fire in the wild west ern country is almost identical with forest fire to base headquarters by radio is not essentially different from reporting artillery fire; dropping carbon dioxide to extinguish incip- tent forest fires--a projected develop ment of the near future-demands the same technical skill as would drop ping bombs of T N T on an enemy ammunition dump.
 The aerial forest fire patrol more. over. provides ideal training for ob- scrvation squadrons- Liaison with the forest service Is accomplished much the same as with the infantry and arr tillery in war operations.

many spot houses have been look ing for to hedge their cotton bought around the present levels sometime back. The market ruled quiet dur. ing the day with a downward ten- dency During the last two hours of the days session heavy selling was reported by big New York opera tors, which caused some liquidation by new longs brought in yesterday after the issuance of the bureau, thereby causing a further decline. the final figures being around the day's low and 50 to 60 points below yesterdays close.
 While no particular bearish news was circulated today, we believe the decline was caused mainly by profit taking and hedge selling. and do not expect a much further decline. and strongly advise our friends to take advantage of this break and buy cot ton-S, R, Stewart & Go.

SPECULATIVE LIST
 ALONE SHOWED UP
 IN DAYS TRADING
Cheaper Oils and Motors Were the Most Favored Type, Although Factors
 Were Not Favorable
Ky Associated Press

New York, October 26--Apart from speculative issues, especially oils. tn which recent gains were enhanced, inconclusive.
 The proceedings of the railroad la bor board hearings were followed with unusual interest and railway shares, including several of the more popular investment issues, developed more reactionary tendencies,
 Firmness of money rates probably accounted for the less aggressive tactics of bull pools. Call loans opened at per cent, the weeks high est initial rate, but relaxed to 5h per cent In the last half of the ses- sion. In private negotiations brokers reported loans of this class at per cent
 The cheaper oils were most favored and motors of the same type also moved forward, although trade ad- vices respecting this industry were not especially favorable. Food, leather, rubber and some of the in- dependent steels displayed intermit- = tent firmness, but United States Steel fluctuated within the narrowest linn It's, making no ViSlDle response 10 yosterday's quarterly report.
 Equipments showed mixed gains and losses and coppers and tobaccos were susceptible to pressure. Chem teal, fertilizer and chain store issues were among the firmer miscellaneous stocks, Selling of Mexican petro- leum contributed to the irregular close.
 Confusion marked the days trad ing in foreign exchanges, which was attended by circumstantial rumors dealing with proposed revision Of German reparations payments. Sterl- ing was easier as also were the French and Belgian rates Central European rates reflected latest ad- verse developments In that section and far eastern bills rallied from re- cent heavIness.
 Liberty issues closed mostly at gains and the general domestic list was steady to firm on lighter deal ings. Foreign bonds showed no pro- nouneed trend, except Mexican gov ernment As, which again were af- fected by latest phases of that coun- trys external obligations. Total sales, par value, s1i,S75,o00.

Market Transactions
 Ouer Priuate Tickers
SHANNON & CO.'S LETTER

New York, October 2e.-(speciai.) The Rather indifferent demand for cotton during the latter trading en- couraged sellers to put prices under more pressure and the market yield ed to some extent though affording no suggestion of the presence of any weak long interest. Professional and local uptown interests with houses with western connections were promi- nent In the selling, though selling orders were also reported as coming from the southwest and some said that the basis was a shade easier In the eastern belt.
 There seemed little or nothing In the news to promote selling as mar Kets generally were steady but bear ish. Operators took the absence of my active demand to imply that mills were well covered for the present and not likely to enter the market again for q while with prices at these lev els and that scattered and weaker shorts had covered Exports were 34,- 34,0O0 bales. We expect no perpen- dicular or spectacular advance, but doubt if declines go far or represent much except additions to the specula- tive short interest.
 The stock market today has been steady with special strength in the oil shares and with some heaviness in the rails. There has been little news to immediately affect prices. The rail- road situation is unchanged. Both sides seem determined to maintain their position. A settlement, however, is still expected, based upon the fact that there Is total lack of public sympa thy with the strike and there Is much evidence that in many in- stances the men themselves have no desire for such an issue.
 Money eased somewhat after renew ing at per cent. The better supply of money and the easier financial tone has been the mainstain of the improvement in prices since early In This is always an essen tial factor in the stock markett. Back of this point is the general expecta- tion that the coming conference In Washington continues the possibility of most important developments for the welfare of the world, in bet ter understanding between the lead ing nations and consequently the prospect of a better chance for busi- ness men to make. their plans with and to expand trade.
 The aspect of the market at the is one of considerable conf dence but inclined to wait immediate after the substantial improvement that has occurred.-- Post Flagg.

HUBBARD,s LETTER.

New York, October 2e.--(Special,)- The market opened a trifle lower on weaker Liverpool cables, and also on the theory that a reaction was due after the rapid advance of yes terday A quiet market was to be expected after the heavy buying of yesterday on the ginning report. There was considerable short sell Ing today, which caused tho market to ease off. at the same time bring ing in some long liquidation that aided the decline.
 We see no reason to change our opinion and that is that prices will work still higher. The world does not realize the short crop that we have and for this reason at soms later date, we believe. mills, both do- nestle and foreign, will have to en- ter the market on the buying side tc procure cotton to complete their upplies.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

LAYToN,s LETTER.


 Birmingham, October 26.-As usual, the day after the government report has shown the calm after the storm. The rise of cent and half from the low point of a week ago seems to satisfy farmers, and spot offerings have been resumed, spinners. on the other hand. show willingness to buy only on bargain days and refused 10 follow the advance.
 They prefer to await the public verdict as to what the ginning fig ures mean in the way of crop.
 We here venture a suggestions: If earlier than usual. Is 1t not fair to take the average for past 10 years of percentage ginned to November 14? That average Is 741s per cent, and If applied to this years ginnings to October IT, 5.477.000 would not the indicated yield be 7,s50.o00. and pos sibly the minimum?
 Let the spinning world get down to a rational view of the prospective new supply and then only will we be able to learn what It's conclusion Is. The views of spinners. based on their ability to dispose of their manufac- turers will determine prices for the next month";. H. Layton.
