TROOP FOUR WINS
 SCOUTING EVENTS
Romps Away With Field Day Victory With Total Of 1O5 Points-Troop
 fl With 72 Is Second

The New Britain Boy Scouts held noon which resulted in another vic tory for Troop of the Center church. The events were hotly contested and the work done indicated considerable interest and preparation on the part of the boys The signal tower race between Troops 1 and II was decided by splitting seconds on the stop wat :. es held by the judges. Although all ot the judges were unanimous in their decision of this event, many of the spectators were not satisfied. However. the boys as whole showed good sportsmanship and were willing to abide by the decision of the judges,
 The following were the events stag ed with the numbers of the troops which won the event in first, second and third places: Southcroft, 4, and lighting, 4, Il: Morse signalling, ?, 4, Il; semaphone signalling, 4, II; knot tying II, 1, ,; stretcher making, 4, H., ?; dressing race II, 4; pacing race, 4, 19, Il; rescue race, A.. 1, ?; staff throwing, II, 4 19, signal tower race, II, 4; Paul Revere race, H. 2, f broad jump relay, 4, II, ?; staff relay, 4, II, ?; centipede race, 4, ?, Il; antelope race, II, 4, ?; obstacle race. 1, ?, H. potato relay, 4, ?; over the top race, 1 ?.
 Trooy won 13 first six seconds and one third places, with total score of 1o5.' Troop won six first, six seconds and six third places in the events with a total score of 72. Troop ? won one first. ' second and six third places in the events with total score of 43. Troop 19 won one second and one third place with a total score of four.
 Rivalry between the three leading troops has become so keen that all the other troops in the council think it hardly worthwhile to even enter the events Some scheme of dividing all trdops into two classs is being worked out by the local council in order to secure the participation of all troops and to insure the weaker troops having an equal chance with their more fortunate brother scouts

ADVICE TO WIDOWS

Roger Babson's Saturday letter dis plays an insight into the hardhearted- ness of some big stock manipulators that should interest small holders of stock. He says he was asked his ad- vice concerning stock in a certain New England railroad. His reply was tc the effect that if the widows and chil- dren still had their holdings the low point of the stock had not been reached, but "if the small investors have been shaken out then the stock is due for a rise" So he says, if the public is wise it will stand pat or do exactly opposite from what certain bls operators are trying to make it do
 Of course 1t goes without saying that, in the case cited, the few widows and children" who insisted on holding onto their stock would get the benefit of the rise in it's price manipulated by the big operators unless indeed, the "big operators abandoned their plan for such mani- pulation. Theirs is the power; the in- fhence is their own interest.
 Still encouraging, Mir Babson' S confidence is the firmness of the stock and bond markets remains. He pre- diets squalls of danger especially to stock gambers-those who deal in margins. But to the outright purchas- CT of stock as an investment, or of of a rising market for some four years.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Buying on a

Steady Increases
Shown i'm Loading
OF Freight Cars
Total for Week Ended Sep
tember 30 Within 8 Per
Cent of High Record;
Coal Movement Gaining

A total of 99S,381 cars was loaded
with revenue freight during the week
ended September so, or within 8 per
cent OF the record loading in the his
tory of American railroads, which took
place in the week of October 15, 1920.
1t was also the largest number loaded
during any week since October % two
years ago, when the total was 1,O0s s,318
cars, according to figures compiled by
the car service division of the Ameri-
can Railway Association
Compared with the week ended Sep
tember 23 the more recent loadngs
showed an increase Of 5000 cars. The
total for the week ended September 30
exceeded the corresponding week last
year by S3,550 cars, and lacked only
1902 cars Of equaling the correspond
ing week in 1920.
A new record in the number of cars
loaded with bituminous coal was made
last Monday, when the total was 40,-
ba6 cars. This was the largest num-
ber Of cars loaded during any one day
since December 13, 1920, when the
total was 45,094 cars. The nearest ap-
proach to Mondays loading since the
miners strike began on April / was on
Monday, September 25, when 38,804
cars were loaded.
Reports showed 6,446 cars loaded
with anthracite coal on Monday, which
was, except for September 20. the
largest number of cars loaded on any
one day since the anthracite strike was
settled,
acquisitions for freight cars in ex-
cess of current supply totaled 130,325
cars on September 30 an increase of
1859 cars over the total on September
20. The shortage in box cars, accord
ing to the American Railway Associa-
ton, amounted to 55,827, an increase
Of 10,702 within week. The short
age in coal cars totaled 32,143, an in
crease Of 6,S06. There was also a
shortage of 12,100 stock cars and 5,56S
refrigerator cars.
Reports showed 5,s43 surplus freight
cars scattered throughout the country,
5.A49 fewer than the week before,
while there were also 3,486 surplus
coal cars, approximately one-half the
number that existed on September %.

Steel Industry Shows
Slight Cain in Output
Transportation Situation the
Governing Influence; Ingot \
Production Higher

"The alienation of better and worse
conditions on the railroads is still the
governing factor in steel production
and prices" "The Iron Age" will say
to-day. "Output has increased slightly
in the past week and some prices are
easier. Car troubles are expected to
continue for some weeks, but coke is
81 ton lower, and coal producers are
more desirous of selling than are con-
sumers of buying.
"In spite of poor movement of
finished steel from mills, four blast
furnaces have started up in the
Central West.
"The Iron Trade Review" will say:
"The recovery of steel ingot pro-
duction from the recent strike cur
tailment has kept pace with that of pig
iron. This is shown by September
figures of steel ingot production, which
represent gain of 1871 per cent over
August, compared with an increase of
is per cent in pig iron. September
production was at the rate of 33,750,o0o
tons annually, against an annual rate
Of 29,150,000 tons in August, but still
is slightly below that of july"

at 36, ,78I 600 Bush. Less
Than Revised Figures for
1921; Increase i'm Il. S.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1t.--A decline
In the estimate of world wheat produc-
ton, excluding that Of Russia and Mex-
ico, for this year was announced to-day
by the Department of Agriculture The
output was estimated in the depart
ments compilation at 3,012, ,2q3 900
bushels, compared with the previous
estimate for this year of 3,0o3, $40 900
bushels and the revised estimate for
the same countries last year of 3,o49,-
c7a.coO.
This years estimated yiela indicated,
with stocks on hand as far as known.
an available supply OF 3.192, ,o37 900
bushels, the department advised, as
compared with 3,273.5S8,0OO last wear.
Production in Russia sufficient for do
mestlc needs continued to be predicte
while the total yield for Europe was
placed at 9S5,650, 600 bushels compared
with the revised estimate Of l.
al5,u8A,O00 bushels last and 1,100,991,-
700 previously published for this year.
ihe new estimate shows considerable
increase over last year in the United
states, from 794,S92,o0 bushels to
8!0,l23,000, but an even greater ratio
OF decrease in France and Germany.
The estimate places Frances produc-
tlon at 255,380,0 900 bushels, aginst 323,-
467, 900 in 1921, and Germany's at SO,

August Outgoing Shipments
Fall $5I,00O,OO0 Com
pared with 1921; Encom-
ingCoodsUps2o, 900, 900

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Americas
export trade with Europe suffered d
marked decline in August, dropping to
Slbo.00G,000 as compared with $685.
100000 In August, 1921, but The value
OF goods imported from Europe iun,ned
Upward as importers hurried shipments
across the Atlantic in race against
final enactment of American tariff
legislation. The import total for Au-
gust, as announced by the Commerce
Department to-day along with other
trade figures, was $4,000 900, against
S59,oo0,o00 the same month last year.
Trade with South America increased,
Doth imports and experts showing a
gam, over August, 1921. Exports to
South America were $4,000 600. az
compared with s24 200, 900 last wear.
Figures for the eight months end
ing with August show that gradual
progress is being made toward a bal
ance. of trade with both Europe and
South America. Exports to Europe for
the last eight months were $1.3lo oOo.-
600, against Sf,6S2,00e,000 in the tirst
eight months Of 1921. and Imports from
Europe were $60l ,000,O 900, as compared
with S492,000,000 for the same period
of last year.
Exports to South America for the
elght-month period this year totaled
Sll41,ooo,ooo, against S215,oo0,o0o for
the same period last year. Imports
from South America have totaled S2f4,-
00o,000 up to the end Of last August,
while last year at the same time they
had aggregated $2O7, 100000.
Among the notable facts revealed by
the August figures was revival of
trade with Russia. Our exports in Au-
gust, 1922, amounted to $1,000, 900,
against $4,000 a year ago, while the
imports increased from 1895 TO $1,000.
