No Clew to Bandits
Who Got Away With
100000 at Denver

Denver, Colo, Dec. 1S.-Denver
state and federal authorities tonight,
after. day and night spent In
searching for the bandits who yes
terday morning shot and killed
Charles Linton, stole a consignment
Of 100000 from federal reserve
guards and then made their escape
in one of. the most daring and SEN
sational daylight holdups ever staged
in the west, were without tangible
clues as to the identity of the band
it's.
Police, spurred on by the offering
of a reward of $4,000 for the bandits,
dead or alive by the city and county
Of Denver and by an additional re-
ward aggregating $1,000 offered by
the aKnsas City Federal Reserve
Bank, admitted that although they
had many clues that promised possi--
bilities. they were still far from the
solution of the holdup.
Tonight a squad of IA detectives
are engaged in watching a rooming
the government mint, where earlier
in the day a car, evidently left on
the street by the bandits to be used
in case of accident to their own ma
chine during the holdup, was dis
covered through information fur
nished by a woman. The car, and
investigation showed, had been
stolen.
That the robbery was accomplish
ed by Denver bandits and not by out
side h!ghwaymcn. is the belief of
Chief of Police H. r. Williams and
the search for them is being conduct
cd with that theory in mind.
Roads leading into the mountains
were thoroughly policed today by de-
tails of policemen in an effort to find
trace of the escaped men but all
searching parties reported to head
quarters that their trips had been

Foreign Scarcity Of Wheat Caused Price
 To Climb Upward
Rx Associatsd Press

Chicago. November 4.-Assumed scanti- ness of European stocks of wheat, to- gether with estimates that winter wheat acreage in this country showed a reduc- tion of 10. per cent has had a sustaining influence on the wheat market this week Wheat prices this morning compared with a week ago ranged from l ssc off to It advance; corn shade to tsc up, with oats varying from Lc decline to N U ixc gain, and provisions higher by 15c to $1.s2.
 It was Il generally accepted opinion that Great Britain had yet to provide for half of her November requirements of wheRt and that other European countries had been getting less than enough to supply current neeus. Meanwhile the outlook for domestic winter wheat declared by crop experts to be the poorest for some years, both as regards acreage and condi- tion. Under such circumstances, rising values carried May delivery to new top record price for the season.
 Breaking up of Ndtouth in the west and southwest did a good deal subsequently to CTS of wheat. Besides, a lessening of car scarcity was apparent, and primary re- ceipts were at times in excess of the rivals last week and last year. On the other hand. speculative selling was ev dently restricted in volunie, caution being emphasized by advices that more than usual of the 1922 United States wheat crop had already been marketed and that millers were enjoying an excellent de- mand for flour.
 Prospective enlarged receipts of corn tended to keep the market for corn and oats relatively easy.
 Foreign buying and decrease in ware house stocks of lard were causes assigned for an upturn in the provision market.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
 By Associated Press New York November 4.-Cotton future
NEW ORLEANS COTTON lsy AssOefafed Prpss

New Orleans, November 4-The trading in cotton today was along the lines of previous sessions of the week: prices were sent to new record marks for the season, and the gains were we'll susta ned, reac- tions amounting to only a few points. Highest levels were reached in the late trading, when the active positions were at gains of s2 to 42 points: the close was 20 to 37 up. December touched 24.s2c and closed at 24.75c a pound.
 The opening was strongly higher on favorable weekend reviews of trade in general and private crop estimate of 9,500,000 bales. After advances of IT to 25 points, setbacks of about 10 points re- suited from realizing by longs, but little later the advance resumed, with the most pronounced strength In the late trad ing.
 Buying of the seconef half of the session came to some extent from shorts who GOV cred apparently because Monday is the only day left for trading before the cen stls bureau issues It's report on ginDing tq Athe first of November. the figures of which are expected to be bullish. Tues day will be holiday on account of cleo tons and the ginning figures will be given put on the opening Wednesday.

MORE STRENGTH IN COTTON AS THE
 PRICE CLIMBS UP
By Associated Press

New York, November 4.-1-The cotton market showed continfied strength and ac- tivity today with prices making new high and reports of a generally strong spot market. December contracts sold up to 2b.50c, 45 points net higher, and closed at 25.4sc, with the general market closing strong 31 to 47 points net higher.
 The market opened firm l2 to S5 points higher on overnight buying orders brought in by the strength of yesterday. The ad- vance met heavy realizing by old longs while there was scattered southern selling and probably some local selling for re. action. These offerings were not absorbed on a comparatively moderate decline, and after selling off from 25.42c to 25.16c for December, and from 25.I2c to 24.S5c for January, the market made new high ground.
 The buying was evidently stimulated by reports that a New Orleans authority esti- mated the crop at 9500. 900 bnles. while bulls also found encouragement in the ap- pearanee of trade buying orders on the early decline and favorable reports from the domestic goods trade.
 January sold up sto 25,21c. when the general list was a5 to AS points above Fridays closing and something like 4%c to Ac pound above the September low Reactionary sentiment was in evidence during the morning, but local brokers re- trade and commission house sources. Manchester cables say that buyers of goods are slow to follow advances. but that there has been some improvement In the inquiry from both India and China.
 Weekend reviews of the cotton goods situation in domestic markets indicated a comparatively small volume of business at first hands during the week, but gem erally- firm situation as to prices
