Chicago, Oct. 10.-Trade in wheat
was embarrassing. The undertone
was easy most of the session not
because Of any particular pressure
to sell. but because of the moder.
interest was the lightest in some

interest was the lightest in some
time. There was an element in the
local trade, who were working for
a bulge on the cash situation but
they received little assistance. Ths
car situation is not only interfer-
ing with the receipts, but shipping
business is being made difficult nv
the inability to secure cars. PR.

New York, Oct. 10.-The amount
of cotton cloths which could be OBJ
tanned at present quotations was
evidently smaller today and there
was a decided tendency on Worth
street to mark up offerings of
print cloths, especially for future
delivery. Narrow print cloths
we're scarce and firm. Sellers ask
ed 9K cents for sixty-four by

twills and Osnabergs. Drills were

showed improvement.

Bond Market

New York, Oct 1O.-Weakness In
rails and i1dustrials Of the very
highest grade was again the feat
ure Of the bond market today. Quo
tations showed only fractional loss
es. but there was steady and per-
sistent pressure on the market.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy IS

MIA general IS, New York Central
refunding and improvement 5s and
Canadian Northern 611s were other
instances. In many cases prices
improved later, but the general
trend was unmistakable.
For all of this there was only
the same explanation advanced
Monday. The terms of the new goy-
eminent Az per cent loan are so
favorable that other securities, ad-
mittedly the obligations OF the
strongest corporations were being
sold to provide funds for the pur-
chase of the new Liberty bonds.
Other factors. of course, may be in
part responsible, but the common
lv accepted theory was that prices
of investment securities must be
readiusted to meet the yield Offer
ed by the treasury department.
The more the terms of the new Of
fering were studied the more ad-
vantageous they appeared from the
standpoint of the investor. Sub
scriptions for the new issue con-
tinued to pour in. 1t was estima-
ted the total might exceed $4,000
100000 against the $5OO,O00,0OO Of
fering. The older Liberty issues
we're all steady today. All the is
sues sold around par or slightly
below with a premium Of the new
issue still bid in the outside mar
ket. This, of course, is on the the
DRY that there will not be enough
bonds to meet the demand for sub
scribers at par.

The fractions we're active ant
strong in the early trading. Utility

and second grade railroad bond
were inclined to be firm.
1t is interesting to note tina

when announcement was made that
directors had declared their regu-
lar semi-annual dividend of So and
an extra dividend of 81 on the
$15,000,000 capital stock outstanG-
ing. This makes a total of SIG a
share for 1922 against the regular
Sc and an extra dividend Of 50 in
1921. This announcement was con-
sidered disappointing in face of
recent stock distribution by other
standard subsidiaries and vacuum

Standard of Indiana, Standard OF
Kentucky and Imperial Oil of Can

G. A. Andreen, president of the
school, granted a half holiday to the
students, provided that the student

ton.
In granting the holiday, DR.. An
dreen pointed out that Augustana
college owes much of it's success
as a school to the railroad. Mo-
only has the railroad been a bis
factor in the upbuilding of tn,
civic and social life of the tri-cities
but it is largely through this mean.

one time president of the Rock Is
land Lines, and said Rock Island
should be proud of him." He said
in the days in which he served
when the name Cable was mention
ed people thought of Rock Island
road and vice versa. Today tree
is being planted in his memory.
Hiram S. Cable, formerly gen.
eral superintendent of the first dis
trict of the Rock Island Lines and
son of R. R. Cable, presided at the
meeting and recalled a number of
"reminiscences as he called upon
veteran employees and active en-
ployes. The employees were asked
to stand as he designated their
classifications.
Recall Humorous Incidents.
Two papers were read by E. C.
Fisher, which were prepared by
David Sears and William Jackson,
who were in Rock Island on the
day when the great celebration was
held when the first train entered
this section of the country. Many
! humorous things in the celebration
were recalled on that day, Feb. %
1854. They said that a crowd OF
people followed the train to Rock
Island where speeches and pro-
gram took place at the foot OF
Twentieth street. They told how
the new railroad improved condi
tons in this part of the country as
the only method of travel then was
by stage coach. The fare to Moline
from Rock Island at that time by
stage was only 20 cents, they said
and the stage line to Dixon from
Rock Island took two days before
the destination was reached.
Recalls Early Days.
"Reminiscences Of the pioneer
days in development of the Rocl
Island Lines were told by Phi
Mitchell. In part, he said:
