NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE Wall
Street Journal today says:
Saturdays new high in the indus
trial average and further details re-
garding the tremendous oversubscrip-
ton to last weeks treasury offering
brought a flood of buying orders at
the opening Of the stock market to-
day.
Steel common was extraordinarily
strong. selling at HIS on heavy
transactions in the first fifteen
minutes. This price represented a
new high since the elimination of the
post war boom and stimulated
activity throughout the Industrial list.
Rails were also strong under lead of
Norfolk & Western which reached
new high for the present move at
123.
Transactions in the first half hour
were overshadowed by remarkable
demonstrations in Steel common.
which was turned over in enormous
blocks that suggested operations of
Wall Streets most influential inter
ests. Under cover of Steel's activity
heavy profit-taking appeared in prog
ress in other sections Of the indus
trial list, but several specialties dis
played exceptional strength, stocks
like National Biscuit, Manhattan
Shirt and Industrial Alcohol selling
at around the years best.
F'reeport Texas, which led the list
Saturday from a standpoint Of &C
tivity, reached a further new high
on the move at PA on reports that
the company had brought in a 5000
barrel well.
Wall Street has been buying Steel
common on the theory that the re-
port for the third quarter will be
more favorable than expected. United
States Steel was forced to curtail
operations as a result of the coal
strike and production costs were
high But in spite of this loss it IS
believed the corporation viii show n
surplus after all charges. including
dividends. Since the settlement of
the coal and rail strikes production
has been increasing and steel will no
doubt make a good exhibition in the
last quarter. Independent compa-
MES did not fare as well as United
States Steel in the third quarter. 1t
is known one large Independent COM
pany showed a deficit in that quar-
ter. A banker in close touch with
the steel industry says the first half
OF 1923 will permit the steel COM
panies to make up a large part Of
the losses sustained during the re
cent period of depression.

By I&neS Special
VALPARAISO, Ind, Oct. 16.-Mayor
Z. w. Agar of this city came to the
defense of his city by issuing a state
ment in which he said that the con-
dltions around this city are not
corrupt and that the reports that the
police force was to be asked to re-
sign and new officers appointed was
untrue. He said the complaints made
at Indianapolis were entirely ground
less, and that valparaiso is about
the cleanest city in the State Of In
diana"
The charges against conditions in
Valparaiso were made by Mrs. Zach
Williams. wife of a Federal board
student at Valparaiso University who
was killed by a policeman last week
after he had threatened the lives Of
several citizens while parading the
streets in a drunkn condition cam
ing a shotgun.
The mayor said that repeatedly the
city and Porter County authorities
had asked the State and Federal
authorities for their cooperation and
it was never given. He pointed to
the fact that the liquor which was
bought by Williams prior to his ram
age was bought outside the city. Mr..
Agar stated that J. w. Garrett, World
War veteran, who is said to have
made statements to the authorities in
Indianapolis that the conditions in
alparaiso were bad, was convicted of
hootlegging in the Porter County
courts last November.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16. - Cooler
weather has stimulated the entire tex
tile market and retailers orders are
beginning to assume large proportions.
This is especially true of seasonal
lines such as wool and worsted fab
RIGS for fall and winter use but the i'm
provement prevails to a smaller extent
in all departments.
Since many retailers have deferred
purchases until they actually needed
goods there is something of a scramble
to place orders for immediate or near
by shipments. Jobbers also have not
kept their stocks oversupplied espec-
tally in cottons and the result is many
buyers are experiencing difficulty in
getting quick deliveries.
