on Standard Oil Of California was
in line with expectations, only
that II was . larger distribution
than the majority had looked for.
That the action had not by any
means been fully discounted In the
msrkc. was shown by the opening
jump Of over five points in this
stock, followed by further adj
vance later on. What impressed
the street most about the official
statement accompanying the an
n0uncement was its reference to-
the discovery of valuable oil fields.
OTHER OIL SHARES.
Although there has been less
talk about a possible melon cut

Bond Market

New York, Oct. 4..Bphds. like
stocks, we're active and higher In
today's market. Gains Of . point
and more were common.
It was noticeable that the largest
advances were made by the second
grade and more speculative securi-
ties. Liberties, for instance, while
slightly higher did not make pro-
portionately as large gains. Rail-
road bonds were in especial de-
mand. The active issues covered
as wide a range as New York Cen
trail refunding and improvement IS
and Seaboard Airline IS. The last
named bond was up more than two
points at 69k. Speculation here
evidently was based on expectation
Of improved earnings in the last
quarter of the year. Up to the end
of July the Seaboard was earning
at a rate sufficient to cover barely
IS per cent Of fixed charges.
st. Louis-San Francisco income
IS, which sold ex the S. payment
on Monday, gained more Than a
point and a half today, .. rather
notable showing for a bond on
which no interest will be paid for
year to come. St. Louis-San
Francisco earnings, however, are
very good. On present indications
not only will the full rate on the
preferred stock be covered. but
something like 4per cent will be
left for the common The adjust
| ment IS were also higher, but
speculation was not as active as in
| the incomes.
Other railroad bonds in demand
included Great Northern Is up a
point and attractive because of the
non-callable feature; Erie prior
lien As and both Southern Railway
IS and Southern Railway 61ss.
Colorado & Southern 41ss OF 1885
also gained a point. At today's
price the yield to maturity is 5 per
cent and while the bond is secured

Southern under the Burlington's
MANAGEMENT has shown remarka-
bly, consistent earning power. An
exception to the general trend
/ among railroad bonds was Western
Pacific 5s, which were heavy. This
was evident more in the outside
market than in the quotations on
the exchange.
All the foreign issues were
strong. United Kingdom 5hs OF
1887 sold almost three points above
the low reached when reports from
the Dardanelles were the most
gloomy. French issues which were
sensitive in the extreme to the bad
news last week proved equally re.
sponsive to favorable advices to-
day. Both the SIS and the TVS made
substantial gains, as did the French
Municipals. Czecho-Slovak IS ad
vanced more than a point and the
Japanese issues were noticeably
higher. However, the Jugo-Sla,
SIS, dealt in on the curb, continued
to decline.
Among the traction issues some
attention was attracted to Chicago
. railways IS of 1927 selling abou

a maturity return of around 10 Pc

FREIGHT RATE
REDUCTION IS
VITAL T0FARM
Secretary Wallace Says There Is
No Quarrel With Railroads;
Must Adjust Costs.

The farmer has no quarrel with
the railroads, doesn't want govern
ment ownership, but must insist
on reduction of rates on crops and
stock, to bring market returns in
to proportion with cost of market
ing, Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace told 5000 farmers at the
Mississippi Valley fair grounds to-
day.
"One of the heavy burdens the
farmer has been forced to carry at
a time when he was least able to
carry it has been the large increase
in freight rates. In 1920 many Of
these were double what they were
before the war. At the same time,
increased rates on things the farm
er had to buy added to his cost of
living and cost of production by
just that much. A freight rate Of
rs cents a bushel on $1.75 corn is
not serious but a 25-cent rate on
50-cent corn is ruinous. During
1921 influence of the administra-
ton was exerted in every proper
way to bring about reduction in
freight rates on farm crops and a
number of important reductions OBJ
tanned. Rates are still altogether
too high, however, with relation to
the selling value of crops and fur
Their substantial reductions must
come in the near future" he said.
1.-The urgent demand by farmers
for large reductions in freight rates
have led some people to-think that
il the farmers could have their way
they would put rates so low that
the roads could not possibly oper-
ate. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The farmer has direct
interest in efficient railroad opera
tiop and knows that the roads must
be permitted TO charge enough to
cover all proper costs of operation
and enough in addition to- give a
fair return upon the money invest
ed and thus keep capital in the
business. Neither does the farmer

explicit directions from Mustapha
Renal Pasha, based on the assur-
ances given the latter by M.
FrankliE-Bouillon, the French en-
voy.
The Turks demand that the
Greek army evacuate Thrace within

impossibility. Constantinople dis
patches mention the possibility of

fuses to recall its forces, but this
is not borne out officially here.

Constantinople, Oct. 4.-(By the

on the horizon today, for the first
time, as likely to prove an import
ant figure in the settlement of the
Turkish problem. The negotia-
tons at Mudania have brought to
light the fact that Mustapha Renal
Pasha's advisers are urging him to
obtain from the allies pledges for
eventual fulfillment Of all the con-
ditions Of the so-called national
pacts including control Of the
straits and modification or annul-
ment Of the capitulations.
Should he succeed in this, it is
said. he will at the same time at
tempt to abrosate the treaty made
with the soviet foreign minister, M.
Tchitcherin, in Moscow on March
is, 1921, which permits the soviet
and the Black Sea countries to
share in control Of the straits.
Kemalists Nervous.
Many Of Kemal's advisers have
no love for the Russo-Turk al
lance, and feel that it is time to
repudiate an agreement which has
ceased to be. useful to the Kemal-
lists.
There never has been, nor can
there be, they say, any lasting at
lection between such natural eco
nomic and political rivals az Rus
STA and Turkey. The Kemalists for
some time have been nervous about
their Caucasian frontier.
Cancellation of the treaty there
fore Is regarded BY many OF the Ma
tionalfsts as sound national pol
icy. Almost alt their leaders now
are understood to regard with mis-
givfnss the idea Of sharing with
Russia the control Of Turkeys de-
