mise between republican senator's in

posing displacement OF the tariff bill
in behalf OF the bonus measure were
said TO have resulted in the COM
promise which is to be presented
lpcxt Monday to the republican sen-
eators' conference. and il was said,
with every indication OF adoption.
Democratic senators. however. were
reported to be planning move Of
their own by offering motion to
given the bonus measure precedence.
Lodge Given Credit.
Senator Lodge, republican leader,
had large part in today's confer
ences and il was said that the pro.
posed compromise was supported
largely because OF his efforts. Amer
lean Legion representatives, it was
stated, also were consulted and
gave their approval to the arrange
ment.
The harmony move among the re-
publicans did not reach full force un'
Ill after informal canvasses Of the
republican membership disclosed
that a large majority we're prepared
to stand with President Harding in
pressing the tariff bill to a con-
clusion before proceeding with the
bonus measure. The polls were
said to show 40 republicans in favor
OF holding the tariff bill before the
senate, nine in favor of its displace-
ment in favor of immediate consid
Grafton of the bonus bill, and II
classed as doubtful"
Chairman McCumber OF the
finance committee, who has been
urging immediate consideration OF
the bonus measure, was said to have
been advised of the polls and eff
forts were made to convince him
that the party judgment was for I'M
mediate action on the tariff bill, but
with an agreement to make the
bonus measure the senate's unfinish-
ed business and with absolute rights
Of priority after disposal of the tariff
: measure. ->'-s F
Plan New Cloture.
With the movement for new clo-
ture rule and more rapid progress
on the tariff bill, republican leaders
said the definite assurance Of action
on the bonus measure Immediately
after the tariff bill was expected to
allay criticism of action in pressing
the tariff bill.
Senator McCumber later stated
that he would accept a conference
vote on Monday. pledging the re-
publican party to give priority to the
bonus bill after disposal of the tariff
measure. He said he would with
hold his proposed motion to displace
the tariff bill if the conference
would adopt a resolution definitely
committing the party to disposal of
both tariff and bonus. bills by ad-
iourning. 1t was understood that
Senator McCumber had prepared a
resolution declaring the sense of the
republican senators in favor of the

Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFFERNAN.
Copyright. 1927 !

New York, Oct. 25.-The curb
market was called upon again to-
day to absorb considerable
amount of selling.
Professional operators renewed
their attack more vigorously than
on the preceding day and were sue
cessful in bringing about further
declines throughout the list.
A few industrial Specialties dis
played resistance to the downward
tendency and reached higher prices
for reasons within the companies
themselves.
Van Raalte common got up over
three points on limited number of
transactions in response to the
declaration of the usual dividend
of ~ per cent on the first prefer
red stock, payable Dec. l to stock
holders of record Nov. II. Schultz
Retail Stores went higher in the
first half of the session, but fell
back when the selling became gen.
eral. Schultz sales in September
amounted to $2,031.463, as against
s1,62G223 in September, 1921.
Packard Motor common reflected
the declaration of the regular quar-
terly 21a per cent dividend and a
az per cent extra. The stock
opened a half point above the pre-
vious close and was actively traded
in around IS most of the session.
Reports of merger negotiations
between the Loft and United Retail
Stores brought only a fractional
advance in the shares of United
Retail Candy, which is controlled
by the latter company. Macy had
sharp run-up, but lost its gain in
the afternoon. Philip Morris, Hayes
Wheel, Glen Alden Coal and Stutz
Motors were lower. Durant issues
were practically neglected, but
good demand appeared for Contin-
entail and that stock went higher.

Brewster. He isn't playing to the
"wets" but is trying hard for the

Jim Reed to eliminate invective

one asked r. r. Brewster what his
full name was and the newspapers
printed his reply as Reginald

always refers to his opponent now
as Reggie" It's his characteris-
tic way of campaigning. Enemies
and friends alike say Jim Reed will
win single handed. if he does tri-
umph His organization is sec
ondary. His party support is of
doubtful value. He is fighting at
this time, however, with better
chance to win than his opponent,
though one is amazed at the num-
Der of Democrats who supported
Long who hint that they will vote
the Republican ticket, but who
probably will never acknowledge
the fact. It's anybody's race at the

New York, Oct. 25.-The strength
of the market for cotton cloths was
still further augmented today BY
the strong opening of the raw sta
pie and bullish ginning reports.
Premiums were paid for 1923 deliv-
cries, Sellers of some construc-
tions picked and chose among their
customers and some quotations
which have not shown decided ad-
vances were merely nominal Ducks
advanced slightly and fine goods
we're in demand.
The raw silk markets both here
and in Yokohama were very quiet
with little trading in evidence.
Prices for October and November
were practically unchanged except
for XXA 1922 Denier which ad-
vanced five cents to 1855 q pound.

Boston, Oct. 25.-The summer

tone Of the market has been sus-
tanned by reports of the strength
of the foreign markets, including
LONDON, Cape Town and Brisbane.
Speculation for the rise was appar-

New York, Oct z5.-LOwer prices
for bonds were again the rule to-l
day. There. were . few exceptions
here and there.
Lbertys Of the older issues lost
more ground. Only q short time
ago there was an enormous over
subscription for the new AIS re-
funding issue offered at par. Trad
ing in this bond was around the
issue price today and the tax ex-
empt 31ks were slightly higher but
the third Ans which mature In 1928
sold today on approximately ~
per cent basis. All three of the old
AZ issues sold we'll below 80.
Traders reported heavy offerings
of the high grade investment rails.
New York Central AIS, Union Pa
cific As, Central Pacific As and bonds
of that grade were in supply. New
Orleans Terminal Is were weak.
This bond is secured on valuable
real estate in New Orleans and
bears the guarantee of the South
ern Railway. In two weeks it has
lost over five points. Missouri,
Kansas and Texas adjustments did
a little better today but st. Louis
San Francisco adjustments sold
down fractionally. The same is
true of New Haven SIS.
1t was also reported that the mar
ket for railroad equipment certifi-
Gates was heavy and that sales were
being made at concessions. This is
another example of the reactionary
trend in high grade securities. The
oretically an equipment issue has
all the security of a first mortgage
bond and just now the fact that
equipments are necessarily of short
maturity gives them added attrac-
tiveness. Nevertheless there were
more offers to sell than to buy.
In the foreign list there were in
dications of slightly better support
for French bonds, both the IS and
the TVS showing improvement in
the early trading today over the
lows of yesterday. The lowest
price at which the IS ever sold was
961s in February, 1921, and the low
for the TVS was 1914 in October,
1921.
The French municipals today did
not share the improvement shown
by the government bonds. Belgian
! TIES and Queensland IS also went
lower Reports were current that
an offering would soon be made OF

U. s. Yards, Chicago, Oct. 25.-
After a weak close in nearly all
branches of the livestock trade yes

to start with today. Supplies were
not heavy for the day, but cattle.
hogs and sheep show up with large
runs compared with the first three
days last week. More than $500

the total much larger than a week

stale hogs on hand.
Receipts were estimated at IA
600 cattle; 1900 hogs; $4,000
sheep, and $500 cattle.

Good cattle were about steady.
There was again a lack of prime
stuff, and few steers were good
enough to reach above 1900. Some
heavy animals sold at 1875, while
a bunch of long yearlings made
1900. Medium grades of steers
were weak. Best cows sold about
steady, but here also the trade was
slow for medium grades. Good

generally steady market, but bulls
were weak. Calves sold unevenly
lower, with good vealers at 1O,5C

Trading had a weak undertone
from the start, with values about
like those obtained late yesterday
or 10c@15c below the best time
that day. Choice 220@24O pound
butchers sold at 9.30@9.40 early
but $50 took prime lots late in the
day. The best hogs stopped a

Demand was fairly active after
late start, and values were fully
steady compared with the da!
before. Choice fed western lambs
sold at 14.5O while rangers wen
at 1895. Prime natives sold a

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The break OF

reduced in volume. The trend of
prices was very cratic Many OF
the locals favored the selling side.
but there was just enough buying
on the dips to take the slack out OF
the market and force short sellers
to cover at higher levels. The ad-
vance in Liverpool caused overnight
shorts to cover and gave prices an
opening bulge and there was a sue
cession of dips and bulges during
the later trading. Advices from the
gulf were to the effect that pre-
miums there were again easier fol-
lowing the SC break the day before.
Seaboard reported little Manitoba
wheat worked for export but that
the demand was generally slow and
that the Greek order had been post
poned. Premiums on red winter
wheat were 1zc better but hard
wheat was unchanged. Minneapolis
reported a better demand for both
wheat and flour with premiums un-
changed. Milling demand for wheat
was, quiet.
Corn was inclined to drag. A
leading cash interest said to be long
the futures was compelled to step
into the market and give support.
In addition to the liquidation, local
bears were pressing corn for sale.
Prospects for increased receipts is
tending to modify bullish feeling

export bids close to a working

It's because nobody can tell in
advance Of the actual count how
many boilers there will be on
either ticket, that the result is so
uncertain. The state is normally
Democratic. The Democrats who
fought Reed in the primaries are
not a solid bloc. Many will stay
regular at the last minute. This
states Democracy is a counterpart
Of the old solid south. 1t was only
due to the masterful organization
perfected by Walter S. Dickey of
Kansas City and other Republican
leaders that Missouri went over
10O, 900 for Harding in 1920.
Senator Reeds victory in the pri-
maries is, of course, the only basis
for any forecast but it is so unsat-

is a man Of high principles, he is
not as forceful a character as the
