REACTION AMONG STOCKS CAUSE OF
 UNSETTLED LIST

 Bring In Cash
Sy Associated Press

New York, September I9.-Concert- ed opposition to the recent recovery in the stock market was reflected in the reactionary course of today's trading. Prices were barely steady at the outset irregular at midday and heavy in the final hour, when offer ings were most extensive.
 News and other developments over the weekend contributed to these unstable conditions. Railroad cen- ters reported another marked in crease of idle freight cars, but more wage reductions and curtailed pro- duction were announced in various lines of industry.
 A cut in the Guaranty Trust com pany's dividend and the more press ing financial requirements of secon dary speciality companies. notably food products, also provided the shorts with fresh ammunition for an other raid.
 Money rates remained easy, how ever, last Saturdays large gain Of reserves by clearing house banks bringing additional amounts of cash into the market. On the exchange five per cent opening quotation for call loans soon fell to A. with the usual shading of this figure in pri- vate negotiations
 Bull pools resumed their cam paign, with U. s. Steel as the leader at an early gain of almost two points. Associated issues rose all most to like extent. with oils mos tors and their accessories and few specialites.
 When it became evident that the rise lacked public support, the mar ket gradually reacted Equipment, oils, motors and coal shares were most vulnerable, falling one to four points under last weeks closing quo tations. Baldwin and American Lo- comotives. General Electric Mexican Petroleum, General Asphalt and Cru cible Steel were weakest, and United States Steel cancelled its gain
 Sterling was the only important foreign remittance to hold fairly steady, French, Italian, Belgian and Dutch bills reacting three to six points and marks losing eight points. Rates on China and India continued to strengthen.
 Liberty issues again dominated the bond market the second As display ing marked strength. Other domes- tic bonds hardened. but interna- tionals were irregular. Total sales, par valua. aggregated $13,425,0oo.

BuNish Effect on
 Grain By Report of
 HeaDy Estimates
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 1s. Official announcement that August exports of
 wheat and flour from, the United
 heretofore estimated had decided
 bullish effect today on the wheat
 market here. Prices closed firm, l 4 to 2A net higher, with December
 S.i27A to SIPS, and May S1.31 to
 s1.32. Corn finished shade to i7
 up; oats off A @A to and pro- visions varying from 10c decline
 to 17c advance.
 Bulls figured that after September 30 the exportable surplus of United
 States wheat, if a normal carry over is allowed for, will be near exhaus-
 tion. Another stimulus to an advance
 in prices came from word that the Argentine exportable surplus had been reduced 16,000, 900 bushels Wet weather northwest counted likewise as bullish factor. On the other
 hand, profit taking sales on the ad- vance were heavy, and an increase of
 4,049,0o0 bushels in the United States visible supply caused bear drive
 on prices after midday. Besides, new export business appeared to lack vol-
 ume Support from bull leaders, however, was quickly forthcoming,
 and shorts were covering freely at the last
 Corn averaged higher in sympathy with wheat. Oats, though, tended
 donward largely as a result of the liberal stock in sight.
 Higher quotations on hogs, togeth- CT with big shipments of lard and meats, put considerable firmness Into provisions.

LITIGATION AFFECTING REX-

The litigation that was begun sever
al months ago affecting the Tom Rex
roat farm on the north side OF the
Hewitt field has been settled. The land
that was involved in the controversy
comprises the whole of the south

lower court and Twin State appealed
the case.
The Cotton Belt Petroleum Company
took q drilling contract on the south
120 acres of the property and has
several producing wells at this time.
Under the terms of the settlement that
has been made the Twin state Oil
Company surrendered its claim to the
property for money consideration and
the Cotton Belt Petroleum Company
acquires q lease on the north 50
acres of the tract.

that reminds the smoker Of old times
before the Kaiser went berserk and
tried to make the route from Berlin
to Bagdad ahead Of schedule.
A certain druggist in this city has
been pestered for a long time with
the query as TO when his customers
might expect to see the return of the
nickle smoke, and so monotonous had
it become to him, and so trying on
his overweight nerves that he de-
cided 10 announce the arrival, and

marked one OF his customers this
morning, II see no reason why q
