Curb Market

was comparatively quiet
In todays short session on the
curb exchange.
Speculative enthusiasm in the
high priced Standard Oils was ma
terially lessened because only rou-
tine business was taken up at Fri
days meeting of directors of Stan
dard Oil of New York and because
they had failed to act on the distri-
button of the company's surplus.
No wide fluctuations occurred in
these issues as they had for the
past week. Standard of Indiana
was an active leader turning weak
toward the close, while the New
York shares fluctuated irregularly
around the low of Friday. Magno-
liza Petroleum lost the most ground
of any. Anglo-American was an
exception to the general tendency.
A good demand for this stock re-
suited in substantial upturn. In
ternational Petroleum held firm.
Cities Service common and pre-
ferred gained fractionally but the
bankers shares were neglected.
Mutual Oil among the independent
oils was active and higher on re-
ports that a Canadian interest had
placed large buying orders in the
market for this stock. Gulf Oil of
Pennsylvania regained more than
its loss of the previous day in the
first hour, but substantially react
ed on profit taking. Simms and
New England Fuel were steady
while Carib Syndicate and South
ern States Oil lost ground.
There was practically no feat
ure to the trading in the miscel-
laneous section of the list.
Price changes in the mining sec
ton were unimportant with the
low priced issues the active lead
ers.

moderate price movements, indicat-

no serious alarm.

get down to its low point Of the
previous day. British government
bonds sagged of bit. but they did
mot equal their recent low. French

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-Notwitfstand-
ing critical conditions at the OAR
Ganelles, wheat prices have slipped
down this week owing largely to
seeming prospects that actual fight
ing might after all be averted.
Compared with week ago, wheat
this morning was q c to 45sc lower;
corn down B@1c to 1%c, oats off
Is q 12c to sole and provisions
varying from zoe decline to a rise
Of $102.
Heavy selling from time to time
in the wheat market accompanied
indications that open hostilities be-
tween the British and the Turks
were being restrained. Chances,
however, for some sensational war
like development were SO apparent
that few traders proved venture
some enough to risk acting very
long on the basis that a peaceful
outcome could be taken as assured.
In this connection, efforts to util-
ize Liverpool quotations as a guage
of the war crisis met with but little
success.
Decrease of 100000 bushels in
the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage, leaving af1oat enough only for
two weeks actual needs tended
somewhat to check the downward
tendecy of values, but had an Off
set in the fact that terminal re-
ceipts both in this country and in
Canada remained heavy. On the
other hand, gossip was current that
the lake vessel strike would hinder
free movement of the Canadian
crop and would increase the call
for wheat at the Gulf Of Mexico and
at eastern United States ports.
Corn and oats averaged lower
with wheat but showed stubborn
resistance to selling pressure. Lib
eral eastern orders for all rail
shipments Of corn from here were
difficult to fill owing to car scare
ity.
Better shipping call for lard and
meats was reflected in the proyi-
sion market

Landslide Like Harding's.
LaFollete's landslide was very
much like Harding's in 1920. He
got all the protest votes. all the
discontinued elements. Vets voted
for him and helped pay for ad-
vertisements printed widely in the
state. This didn't antagonize the
drys- either, for many of the lat
ter cared more about standing by
LaFollette because of his war
views than they did about prohibi-
ton. So in the Technology of the
street ''he got them coming and
going" There will be light vote
cast in the election. LaFOllette is
practically elected now. What does
his victory signify? Certainly it
was more of a negative vote than
an affirmative mandate. 1t en-
phasized also that the boring
from within" process which rad
calls in the west have been utilizing
ever since they captured the ma
chinery Of the Republican party in
North Dakota a few years ago is
highly successful.
Foes Are P0werless.
To Offset this gradual absorp-
ton of the Republican party by
radicals, the regular Republicans
have been considering fusion with
the Democrats. But the decision is
lin favor of keeping the fight with
in the party and trying to win next
time. Native born Americans anc
others who Indignantly resent La
Follette's views are powerless to
apply punishment. Fully 50 per
cent of the electorate is either for
eign born or first generation Amer
leans. Labor looks on him as a
great champion. Committees of
labor leaders worked indefatigably
for LaFollette. 1t was a we'll or
gained, we'll managed, well
financed campaign and for six
years more Bob LaFollette will
play his part in the senate inter
preting in his own way the curious
mandate Of thousands of voters
who call themselves Republicans
Just as much as do the standpat-
tiers or conservatives of Massa-
chusetts or Pennsylvania.
The signs Of political revolution
are unmistakable. The election In
November turns not SO much on
whether the Republicans will win
for they seem to have the upper
hand-but what kind of Republi-
cans will sit in congress and what
