best and the worst country of the
southwest, Mr. Eggleston said on his
return and We're gratified to see the
decided change for the better in Lynns
health.
An appeal 10 the Ardmore tourists,
made by Mr.. Eggleston is couched in
letter, addressed TO The Ardmoreite

more OF our people to lay aside enough
of their dignity to endeavor 10 adyer-
tise our city.
With our trip in view l went to the
stores, first trying to purchase some
streamers or placard to use on the side
OF our car. Failing in that, we visited
our Chamber of Commerce for infor-
nation or suggestion. So little doing
in that direction. we finally through
the courtesy of Earl Williams, who
painted for us about four inch red let
ters on white ground ten ounce canvas

From Ardmore. Okla" on them. Fast
en.ng one Of these streamers on either
side of our car, we found former Ard

New York. Sept. LA quite gen.

foreign government external loans
following the reparations commits

indemnity payments was the most
important 1nclaent in tcdays- bona
market.
Inc willingness OF Belgium TO
accept German treasury notes in
lieu of gold marks. appeared to re-
lieye the situation at ieast temper
arily and was reflected III the ad-
vance Of the French and Belgium
issues. French government nss got
above 98 and the percent bonds
crossed 101 Both reacted quickly
in the later dealings but remained
about point higher tina nthe final
prices OF Thursday. French me-
nicipals gained almost two points

were stronger. Belgian Is touched

higher. Sac Paulo bonds advanced
about a point and several hunters
of the foreign group bettered their
top figures reached early ip The
week.
Exception to the strength of for
eign bonds was the percent sink
in gfund issue OF the Kingdom OF
the Netherlands which dropped
about three points although there
was no connection between their
decline and the reparations COM
promise. Apparently the passage
OF the soldier bonus legialation by
the senate had fully discounted, tor
United States government bonds
held their ground fairly well on
moderate transactions.
With the general railway and>in-
dustrial list very little changed the
weakness in the Erie convertible
bonds and further fall in the Chi
cago and Great Western As were
conspicuous. The selling in beth
these instances was simply due to
publicity given to the fact that
with the losses incurred in the coal
strike. neither of these roads has
been able to cover fixed charges.
The Erie convertibles sold down
over a point, the prior As dropped
more than two points and the gen.

Chicago, Sept. Offerings Of
wheat we're scanty in the early
trade'thi morning and prices scor-
ed sharp advance, only to run in
to heavy selling on the upturn.
Small deliveries, $1,000 bushels,
caused some buying and the market
was oyersold. Selling on the rally
was induced in part by big break
in cotton. Canadian estimates
were bearish, the Bank of Montreal
sponsoring an estimate of $50, 000,-
coo bushels for western provinces
OF Canada. Snow estimated the
United States crop of wheat at SAO,-

the week were 13,S45.000 bushels

121.oo0 bushels. Primary re-
oeipts were 100000 bushels
against 2,462,000 bushels a year
ago.
Corn deliveries were only 1000
bushels and with reports OF serious
deterioration in Nthe western part
OF the belt, the market was strong.
Later there was buying also on the
Sept. l estimates of Snow and
Goodman who placed the crop at
1850, 100000 bushels and 2.795, 000.-
900 bushels respectively. Receipts
were liberal at 335 cars here and
1,053,000 bushels in The west and
RECEIVERS reported the country SELL

Oats we're a little stronger in
sympathy with other grains. Snow
estimated the crop at 1,273,000
bushels, a considerable improve
ment over the August figures,
yields being better than expected.
Local cash demand was fair. Rye

grains.

were 24,000,0o0 pounds of lard and

FINANCIAL NOTES

On their face the end of August
cotton estipates of the agricultural
department looked pretty bad. They
showed the condition down from
7O.S month ago to 81. with a COM
parison with the 10 year average
for the period of 65.3. But actually,
however, the indicated yield of TO-
$4,000 bales meant loss from
the month before OF the 100000
bales and this is just about what
the cotton trade has been figuring
on.
The violent downward plunge in
cotton prices Immediately follow
ing the appearance showed that it
had been thoroughly discounted.
The advance on the stock exchange
showed no signs of let-up as the
afternoon went on. The sugar
shares were taken up for a while
and following them the copper and
smelling group. Doubtless the
strength of the coppers was caused
partly by the reparations decisions
inasmuch as Germany has been the
big buyer Of the copper metal in
the last IL months
The street hardly knew what to
make of the extraordinary proposal
Of Crucible Steel to offer $4,000
shares of new stock at par, when
the stock itself was selling in the
market we'll below that figure. At
any rate the announcement, if it
were calculated to bring in outside
buying, certainly did not have that
effect
| Motor vehicle production for Au-
gust based on shipments for the
first three weeks of August should
exceed 265,000 which is an in
crease of 10000 over the July out
put. Last year, during August fhe
output was 10000 vehicles, which
was an increase Of 4,445 over the
output of July, 1921.
The production Of cars and
trucks for the first seven months
of this year totaled 1.395.o6t
against 1,66S,55O for the whole Of
1921.

Of Claude W. Peters was sold to E
E. Richards today for $4,000. This
figure is the same as that for tht
last seat on the curb. K
1t is expected that resumption
of dividends will follow the meet

Curb Market
BY STUART p. WEST
Copyright. -o3.:.,

New York. Sept. There were
number of rather striking events
among individual stocks on the
curb exchange today. The market
as a whole was more lively than
any day for some time past.
The virtual settlement of the
hard coal strike led to a very sharp
upturn in Glen Alden Coal. which
at SO was up over four points from
the Thursday final and stood at a
new high record. Other coal shares
Southern Coal and Acme-were
also in demand. --i -z=zs
There was much more doing in
the motor group. The leader was
Durant Motors. This stock had
sold the previous day under 40. had
ended at AK and this Afternoon
.was bid up across a. The other
motor shares, Cleveland, Stutz, REQ
and Lincoln, were all helped by the
rise in Durant, which appeared TO
be a special buying movement bas-
ed upon satisfactory business re-
ports.
Following the advance in the
motors, Hayes Wheel made new
advance. The supply of this stock
was rather notably smaN as the
price went up.
Increase Of the dividend OF

Wall Street, New York. Sept L.
A severe break in Erie securities
furnished the sensation OF the Nays
market. Everybody was demand
ing whether there was anything
radically wrong. The answer was
that there was nothing wrong.
The Alton receivership had simply
drawn attention to the so-calIed
weaker carriers as a class, and es-
pecially to those hit hard BY the
coal strike like the Erie has been.
Erie earned its fixed charges dur
ing the first six months OF the year.
1t may be able TO cover the losses
of July and August in the remain
ing four months, if the coal traffic
reaches the huge dimensions ex-
pected. The break in Fries ap-
peared to be q shrewdly planned
bear raid.
BURNSBROTHERS.
Burns Brothers stock continued
to discount the settlement OF the
anthracite strike. The principal
Operations this time, however,
were in the A rather than in the
b shares. II is felt that the two
have been selling out of proportion
A price of so for the B as a pros
pective four percent stock does moi
appear too high. But with the E
on a four percent basis, the A
would be distributing IL percen,
and is considerably out of line with
other industrials with like divi-
dends and earnings power.
CONSOLIDATED GAS.
Consolidated Gas opened down
four points on the announcement
that the rate on New York City ga:
had been cut by the Public Services
commission ten cents per thousand
cubic feet. The stock was readil,
taken, however, at the lower leve
and later rallied. 1t was reported
\ that the company would cover th'
loss by the saving effected by sub
stitution Of the British Therma
unit for the present candle powe
unit as a standard for making gas
