Belfast, March 14-(By Associated Pressl casualty list from the activities of gunmen and bomb throwers in the last ten weeks totals S3 dead and l57 seriously wounded according to the Northern Whlg which declares this is relativelyNmore terrible than for the whole year 1921.
 The list would have been greatly swollen, the newspaper adds if all those who received bullet wounds were included. It points out as the worst feature of the recent outbreaks the number of women and children, some of the latter babies who were struck by chance bullets or bomb splinters.

DryGoods Market

sCopyrlEht. ly2Z.,

New York, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Steadi-
ness was the prevailing note in the
cotton goods market today. Print
cloths, sheetings, drills, twills and
sateens all received some attention
and prices were firm. Volume of
business was not excessive and
many traders do not expect to be
until after election day. The big
trade was. we'll represented and
there was inquiry for tobacco
cloths.
On the absence of Illuminating
reports from Yokohama the raw
silk market here was quiet with
comparatively few changes record
ed. Best No. TX fell to $3.50 and
kans% No. l to $S.47k. Canton
20-22s were quoted at $3.50.
WOOL.
Boston, Nov. 3.-Dealers here find
their wool supplies SO scant that
many have been forced to cut down
on sales in order to look after their
regular customers. Even the more
conservative admit possibility of
higher prices because of the short
stocks. Ohio half blood combing
for example. is nominally quoted at
SIS cents pound but there is prac-
ticalIy none to be had at any price.
Clothing woods also are scarce al
though bids now range about &c
higher than at the end of last week.

Chicago. Nov. :.-The action Of

dry area Of the winter wheat belt
and rain is forecast.
Corn followed the trendof wheat.
Trade was largely local, but there
was enough buying On the dips by
commission houses to encourage pit
bulls to support the market. Re-
alixing sales by these buyers dis
closed lack of buying. The mar
ket for cash corn showed a tenden-
cy to ease off owing to the slow
ing up of the shipping demand and
the increase in movement. There
were reports from downstate of an
increased car supply.
Oats followed other grains. A

Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFFERNAN.
(Ccpyright. 1927

New York, Nov. 3.-0ils and in
dustrials continued to show i'm
provement in today's trading on
the curb exchange.
Standard Oil shares generally
opened strong and the demand for
the more active leaders brought
about higher levels from the open
/ ing. Trading IN this group quoted
down after midday however and
the market became decidedly irreg-
ular.
Announcement that stockholders
of Standard Oil of New York had
approved the plan to increase the
capital stock to 1925 zoo. 900
brought about a sharp advance in
these shares.
Magnolia Petroleum responded
to reports that Standard of New
York would acquire the remaining
80 percent of the company's out
standing stock in the bear future.
Since the beginning of the year,
Standard of New York has been in
creasing its holdings of Magnolia
until now it controls 20 percent of
the capital stock. \
Prairie Oil and Gas and Imperial
Oil of Canada were among those to
reach higher levels but the latter
subsequently reacted.
Independent Oils failed to follow
the lead Of the Standards and the
/ tendency here was very much
mixed. Simms Petroleum was
again conspicuous for its strength
1 but realizing sales were response
BILE for lower prices in Mammoth
Oil and Southern States Oil. Gulf
Oil of Pennsylvania SHOWED signs
! of fresh buying in the first half of
, the session but became quiet in the
afternoon.
Motor shares led the rise in the
! industrial section with Durant the
active favorite. Announcement
that United States District court
had confirmed the sales of the
New Process Gear Corporation to
w. C. Durant for $2.100,000 result
ed in a rise of nearly 8 points in
Durant common. Stutz Motor also
attracted attention, advancing al
most two points between sales on
expectation that fhe earnings of
the company will be materially in
! creased by the marketing of the
new Stutz models. Whittier Mo
tors class A was active and slight
ly higher.
/ Short covering in Glen Alden

RAILROAD STOCKS.

In view OF the near approach OF
the New York Central dividend
meeting, at which an increase is
expected, New York Central stock.
always takes the lead nowadays in
any upward swing in the rails.
This was true again in the market
today. There is not SO much inter-
est in Reading as there was a fort
night ago because of the apparent
difficulty which the management is
having in drawing up the amended
segregation plan. Lehigh Valley is
feeling the effect of the disappoint-
ment caused by the failure of the
directors at the recent meeting to
raise the dividend rate, and with
Norfolk & Western it is case OF
the good news being out. New
high records were made today in
the St. Louis Southwesterns, fol-
lowing an analysis Of the company's
earnings. showing that even in the
comparatively uufavorable months
of August and September these
were running at the rate of over
| SIS share for the common stock
after full provision for the pre-
ferred.
AMERICAN WATERWORKS.
The sharp rise today in American
Waterworks common and 6 per
cent participating preferred was
| in the nature of a belated response
to the latest earnings statement,
covering results for the nine
| months ending Sept. 30, which
showed that after all depreciation
and tax appropriations, the per
cent dividend on the preferred
stock, the 6 per cent on the par
ticipating preferred. and nearly 6
per cent on the common were be
ing covered.

The Thinker Roller Bearing fom-
pany's report for the third quarter
showing a net of s3,200,O00 after

financial district had been expect
ing. The fact that the company
expects to earn better than 81 a
share on the years operations,
more than twice the dividend re-
i Quirements of So share. is fac
tor in the Thinker situation to be
reckoned with.
BOSCH MAGNETIC.
American Bosch Magnetic off
Gals declared today that they ex-
pected the best six months in the
last two years beginning the first
OF next month. A factor in the
Bosch situation which can be: used
as index to the relation Of prosper

fact that there has been a resump-
ton of buying of magnetos by the
| agricultural community.

New YOrk.-Sales OF manufac-
tured gas in 1921 set a new high
record, a total of $4,000, 900, 900
cubic beet being consumed, accord
ing to the annual survey of the gas
industry of the United States just
completed by the American Gas as
sociation.
This is an increase of 1000, 000,-
goo cubic feet over 1920 and 10000
100000 cubic feet over 1919. An
analysis Of the gas consumption
statistics discloses that the per
capita increase for the 10 year per-
iod, 1901 to 1911 was 80 per cent,
while for the period from 1911 to
1921 it was so per cent, showing
that the American people during the
last 10 years consumed nearly three
times as much gas per capita as
they did during the preceding de-
cade.
Increased use of gas for indus
trial purposes and for domestic pCr-
poses other than illumination in
homes is responsible for the rapid
growth of the industry. The sur
vey shows that 21.62 per cent Of
the gas used in the country last
year was for industrial purposes,
ABOUT 1,200 different uses being
recorded
The use OF gas for lighting is
growing less every year, only 1850
:-er cent being used for illumination
last year. while 56.71 per cent was
used for cooking, heating water,
heating rooms and other domestic
purposes. and SIT per cent was
consumed for uses not classified.
Gas companies Of the country
have 1921 900 customers, which
means that approximately 46.700.-
900 persons are served by the gas
industry. Gas is being used in
7.040. 600 cooking appliances. 1873.
