BY Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 3.zPersistent
rumors circulated throughout the
street today that announcements of
stock distributions by several Stand
ard Oil companies are near at hand
resulted in a wave Of buying that
brought about considerably higher
prices on the Curb Exchange.
Standard of New York opened up
% points and Vacuum Oil recorded
gain of points overnight.
An active demand for these shares
brought about considerably higher
prices and both issues reached new
high records. The rise in Standard
of Indiana and Kentucky also was
noteworthy, both issues reaching their
best prices in months.
Imperial Oil of Canada and Mag
nolia Petroleum were carried along
with the LADDERS. while Illinois Pipe
Line and Ohio Oil moved UP slightly
Prairie Oil and Gas was the only
exception to the general tendency,
losing is points between sales.
Independent oils were generally
higher and more active than in some
time. The demand for Mutual con-
tinued, although heavy turnover re-
suited In only slight advance. New
tSiSioiiu uSA o4I Went 10 "IlllEl d
fraction of it's high for the year,
while Maracaibo gained more than a
point. Shell Union, Simms, Southern
States and Mountain Producers were
others that came in for attention.
Gulf sOil of Pennsylvania fiuctuated
nervously, but was higher most of the
time. ,
Todd shipyards attracted attention,
opening up IL. points, then dropping
we'll below its close of Monday on very
few sales.
Mesabi Iron, which has been dormant
recently, had sharp run up of more
than point, while offerings Of Glen
Alden Coal were scarce and this stock
had sharp rise. Department store
issues were quiet, although, fractional
advances took place in Philipsborn and
r. H. Macy.
A special meeting of stockholders of
Continental Motors has been called for
October 18 to vote on a recapitalization
plan. The plan calls for the authoriza-
ton Of 100000 shares of no par value
stock, 1.460,0S4 shares Of the new

GRAIN SPECULATION
Melted $10Q,0(|D
Deal in $500, 600 Bushels of
Wheat ReCited to Trade
Commission.

The story of series of speculative
operations in wheat last winter and
spring involving about 100000
bushels was detailed to the Federal
Trade Commission by ]. Leonard
Replogle, New York steel manufac-
turer, at the initial session today Of
the commissions Senate-directed in
quiry into grain price fluctuations.
Mr. Replogle agreed in response to
questions put to him by Chairman
Murdoch that his opera tions resulted
in a preliminary profit of more than
100000 and in a later loss of about the
same amount. He conceded that pur-
chases of millions of bushels of wheat
might have speculative effect on
prices, driving them up and down, but
market prices contrary to supply and
demand permanently or profitably.'
Ignorant of Grain.
'In the first place l know about as
much about wheat as a hog knows
about Sunday the steel man said in
beginning the sto:y-of his board of
trade experiences. But last winter
was down at Palm Beach, and 1 got
wire from a man / met in French
Lick telling me that wheat was a
good buy. l asked some people 1 knew
who were down there who know
about wheat, F.. G. Fraser Of Bartlett,
Fraser & Co., particularly, and they
confirmed my original tip.
THE result was that 1 took ON a
line of about a million and a quarter
bushels of May, wheat at around $40
bushel. I sold that out gradually in
the next few months, and was entire
ly out of it by April, getting about
L got in about the middle of May
and finally sold out at considera BILE
loss in June. Those are the only two
transactions of any size"
Purchase Is Explained.
Mr.. Murdock asked the witness to
explain how the purchase and sale of
the grain was conducted and why Mr..
Replogle purchased.
We'll, there were lot of people at
Palm Beach who had expert infor-
nation. though it all meant nothing
to me-" Mr.. Rep1ogle said. but people
in the grain business confirmed the
original message l had and told me
that wheat at s1.o3 per bushel was
selling under cost of production.
That's good time to buy any
commodity when it's selling for less
than it costs and so 1 went in. On
the second deal, which didn't go so
well, I actually had to take delivery
found warehouse charges and insur-
ance eating it up. 1t didn't look good
and I got out, but 1 only kept il two
or three weeks"
Had No Associates.
Mr.. Replogle was asked If "the steel
crowd" had not been involved in ex-
tensive speculations in wheat during
the period of it's f1uctuation and
whether he was not one of the group.
~ had no associates" he asserted,
"and don't know single steel man
who went in. was surprised at this
subpoena coming to
me. thought you were. after some
of the big wheat fellows"
''Well. who are these big wheat fell
lows you mention?'t the witness was
asked by Examiner Arnold
81 don't know" Mr.. Replogle said.

PREDICTS TRIP TO MOON
BY RADIUM ENERGY
Tremendous Problems to Be
OUercon,e, Says M. Pelferie.

Paris, June g.
That the day is coming when It will
be possible for persons to jump into an
Gero-taxi propelled by radlum energy.
and after three hours and twenty min
utes OF whizzing through space land
safely on the moons surface is the idea
advanced by Esnault Pelterie, French
aviator.
This sounds like the imagination of
Fl. @. Wells working at high pressure.
but M. Pelterie qualified his statement
by adding: "Of course, under present
physical conditions, the scientific deyel-
opment of such trip is Impossible, and
there are tremendous problems to over
come, such as temperature changes and
preventing the death of the voyager be-
fore he has been on the way more than
a fraction of a second. But when IL is
considered that after a million years of
human existence practically all the
aerial development has taken place in
the last decade one can afford to be
hopeful for the future"
M. Pelterie believes that radlum's en-
ergy will finally be captured and con-
trolled so as to make trip to the near
eat planet quite possible

teed material, the SIS price having dis
appeared; SIT applies to guaranteed 90
and per cent. material, and $i7.5o is
the market price of the guaranteed 90
and per cent. grade.
In the last fortnight the mills have
been in receipt of a large amount OF
steel scrap for about their own prices.
A notable instance Is the Jones and
Laughlin Steel Company. which obtained
$4,000 tons of heavy melting steel scrap
from half a dozen dealers for the price
that It had in mind for several weeks,
$3.50. The Valley mills. which expect
to pay about so cents more than does
Pittsburgh, have bought several lots at
SIS. delivered Youngstown. and Mas
silIon Is understood to have paid a trifie
more, probably s1s.25 in certain cases.
Although there have been no recent
sales in the sheet bar market, 1t is be-
leyed that sS5 will be the prevailing
price when a good sized tonnage pre-
sents itself.
