houses continued to do a big vol
ume of business in print cloth and
sheetings today and the trend OF
the market was still upward with
premiums demanded for 1928 con-
structions in some instances. Some
profit taking at second hands on
goods bought earlier at more ad-
vantageous prices was in evidence
but the whole tone of the market
continued strong. Tire fabrics were
firm and slightly higher.
There was extreme dullness re-
ported in the Yokohama silk mar

sponded in kind. The local quota.

Curb Market

Copyright. 1921

New York, Oct. "a. - The curb
market went through another per-
iod of uneasiness in the first half
of the trading day.
Oil shares reached lower levels
and the depression which was felt
at the beginning Of the week was
again noticeable in many of the in
dustrials. But in the afternoon,
the selling movement seemed to
have run its course, at least for the
time being, and the market became
very dull with here and there
slight rallies from the lower levels.
The opening sales Of Standard
and Indiana were over half point
below the previous close. AS the
session progressed these shares
displayed resistanceNto the general
selling and more than regained
their initial loss. Imperial Oil of
Canada lost several points before
support was encountered and
Vacuum Oil, old, Prairie Oil and
Gas and Ohio Oil also went lower.
Arkansas Natural Gas was the
next to announce the bringing in of
we'll in the new Smackover field
in Arkansas. The we'll is produc-
ing at the rate Of 200 barrels per
day. Arkansas Natural Gas was
actively in demand around TO-
Shell Union Oil failed to respond
tao the report that one of its sub
+, salaries had completed a well in
Tonkawa, Okla, flowing over $50
barrels daily. Realizing sales were
responsible for a rather sharp
break in Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania,
while Southern States and Salt
Creek Producers also went some
what lower.
Schultz Retail stores led the mis-
cellaneous section on limitations

considered but met profit taking
and subsequently reacted below its
close Of Monday. One or two trans
actions were recorded in Macy

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Wheat trade
was inactive and the, outstanding
feature after the opening was the
limited buying power. The start
was q shade easier but the market
rallied on limited commission house
buying. The market backed and
filled all morning but just before
midday some selling by local longs
disclosed a lack Of demand and
prices broke under this pressure.
The news was maihnly bearish in
character. s.Advices from Canada

present crop marketed to date by
farmers, of which one-third is still

bushels has been moved to the sea-
board or exported, and 100000
bushels is at terminals. Van
Couver is reported contested and
shipments via that port are en-
bargoed. Milling demand was bet
ter and $4,000 bushels we're sold at
the best premium on the crop. Ex-
port trade is quiet. Red wheat
premiums were 1c lower. Kansas
City reported hard wheat prem
iums 1c to &c lower. Report OF
Germany ready for bankruptcy fail
ed to have any marked effect on
prices.

d. 8. Yards. Chicago. Oct "a
Heavy runs were again reported
for this and other western mar
kets today. and livestock trade was
slow. Compared with the two
first days last week. the cattle
supply at the local yards shows an
increase Of about 5000, while hogs
gained 5000 and sheep more than
10000. Sellers had nearly $4,000
hogs held over from yesterday and
there was no chance to hold values
without decline. Receipts today
were estimated at 1900 cattle;
5000 hogs; 10000 sheep and 5000
calves.
Demand for cattle was uneven.
Lack of quality delayed the trade
but there was little change in
quotations. Few steers sold up to
1900, but top lots we're quotable
at 13.50@13.55. About 1900 west,
ern cattle arrived during the day.
Cows and heifers were slow. Can
ners went at 800 and down on a
weak market, while bulls were
easy; calves gained Csc. Choice
vealers went to packers at 1000
11.25.
HOGS.
A too heavy supply of hogs broke
the market 1O@15 cents for light
grades while even the best butch
ers we're down that much in spots.
Packing hogs also were lower, but
they suffered less than the better
grades. The top Of the trade was
placed at 9.55, which was paid for
225 to 260 pound stock, while some
Of the good packing hogs went at
8.25@8.50, with few down to $50
SHEEP.
Lambs were fully steady after a
slow start. Choice killing stuff
was quoted at 1425@14.50. with

torney- Wilbur Mott Mr..
Mott an old prosecutor with a
proud record of convictions, in tax
ing over the case today made no
vainglorious boasts, such as have
characterized the local prosecution
during the last few days of its re-
gime, but said he realized that ex-
ceptionally hard work was ahead
OF him. Cold trails are hard trails
to follow. Suspected persons have
had ample time to collect them
selves and defend themselves.
Mills Is Odd Character.
James Mills, the odd husband Of
the murdered choir singer, who
Aticks to his job as sexton of the
church like grim death itself, who
raves occasionally that the wife
who had cooked his meals and look
ed after his house should have been
taken away from him without any
sort Of compensation. and who off
and on says that wife was innocent
or guilty, declared today that all
suspected persons should have been
put in Jail from the very beginning
OF the case and released only as
they proved their innocence Of any
connection with the crime.
Not only the suspects" said
Mills. but anybody who might
know about murder should have
been taken In custody and held"
The fact that this would have in
volved himself in no wise ruined
Mills serenity.
In all this strange case the utter
lack OF sincere grief on the part of
anyone connected with 1t is one Of
the most striking conditions to be
found here. Naturally the relations
between the murdered pair NAV
have accounted for some Of the
hardness Of those who survived the
tragedy. but the only words OF sym-
PATTY heard are from, those Who
did not know the families involved.
