TODAY'S BLUNDER
CORRECTED
BY HARRY r. SIMPSON.
Postmaster. Rock Island.

Your mail and your neighbours
mail is delayed If you have no mail
receptacle at your door. To elm
mate unnecessary delay, the post
Office department has ruled that
carrier service will not be extend
cd to any new building not equipped
with a suitable receptacle, and that
when a patron changes his resi-
dence he will be required to pro-
vide a mail box at his new address
before being accorded delivery
service. All patrons will be ex-
pected to have a proper mail recep-
tacle, or a slot in the door, before
Jan. l., 1923.
The failure to provide a mail re-
ceptacle not only tends to incon-
yenience the patron himself, but is
an unnecessary hardship on the
carrier. II the carrier has to wait
At a door, even if only two or three
minutes. and has to do it several
times in a block, it means that he
has to work that much harder to
complete his deliveries. If the peo-
pie understood this, for the car
rier's sake, il for no other reason,
they would provide a box.

By WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

New York, Dec. 4.-Operations on
the curb exchange today were
quiet with the volume of business
considerably smaller. than in re-
cent sessions. Trading started
where it had left off at the close of
last week and as the day progressed
the price movement became very
irregular.
Professional operators were in
clined to take profits in the Stand
ard Oils. Among the stocks affect
ed were Prairie Oil and Gas, which
had quite a sharp run upsin the lat
ter part Of last week on announce
ments that the company. intends to
declare a 200 percent stock divi-
dend, Crescent Pipe Line, and Inn
perial Oil Of Canada.
Following the approval Of an in
crease in the capital, of Magnolia
Petroleum by stockholders at a
special meeting, a dividend of city
percent in stock was declared by
the directorate. However, this aoA
ton proved to have been fully dis
counted by the action Of the stock
which lost almost ten points. Stand
ard Oil of Indiana was heavily sold
and declined three points before
supporting orders were encoun-
tered.

that the new evidence awaiting the
jury would have to do with the
Gabel murder case and with the
shooting of Conner Looney, but it
was intimated by state investigat-
ors today that SO many new an
giles of the vice and graft situa-
ton have developed during the abb
sence of the grand jury that the
murder matters necessarily will be
delayed further.
Among the latest developments
is the charge of Reuben Lebowitz
that he was victimized out Of $206
by alleged kangaroo court prac-
tees in police court. This will be
aired thoroughly. Lebowitz has
given the state investigators a
signed statement OF the case, and
will testify himself before the
grand jury. There are several
other matters of similar nature to
be considered.

The undertone was easy. Liver
pool market was weak both on
spot wheat and futures because Of
the heavy worlds shipments and
the increase Of 7,424,O00 bushels in
wheat supplies N ocean passage.
This caused q little liquidation, but
there was enough buying by shorts
to prevent any great decline. Lat
er eastern houses were active ON
the selling size and this created
the impression that a big long was
going out of his line under cover.
Support developed after a break
of q cent, but on any little rally
there was wheat for sale. Only a
few parcel lots of wheat were re-
ported worked for export. Cash
wheat premiums were unchanged.
Minneapolis premiums were UNI

buying on resting orders to check

ceipts, cash premiums were main

New York, Dec. 4.-The bond
market began the week with high
er prices for practically all gra0es
Of securities and then relapsed into
extreme dizziness.
Reports OF more difficulties at the
Lausanne conference may have
been responsible for the failure of
the rally to continue, but it was
significant that there was no great
pressure to sell even If there was
no inclination to add to commit
ments.
Libertys opened Sighted higher
and then sagged. Most changes
during the first half of the day be-
ing for losses. High grade invest
ment bonds moved in the same
fashion. Atchison general As got
up to 30 and then sold back to 89H.
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh
4hc gained about X point. Specu-
lative bonds which scored ad-
vances included Chicago Great
Western IS, and New York, West
chester and Boston AIS. Third
Avenue adjustments fluctuated un-
, certainly. moving up to So and then
selling off. Cuba Cane Sugar IS
sold a full point higher. Peoria &
Eastern incomes gained fraction
ally.
One bond that was notably strong
was Hudson & Manhattan refund
ing IS, attention to which was call
Ell in these dispatches last week.
The trading in Chicago Railway 5s
was also very interesting. At 75A,
the low. on the recent movement,
the bonds seem to find support and
the rally today was substantial.

Much Of traders attention was tax

was late before the market had .
GOOD start. Receipts OF cattle and
sheep were comparatively light,
while the supply of hogs WAS larg-
e. than expected Notwithstanding

900 hogs were reported at 10 point
markets.
Receipts were 2 5000 cattle, e4.-
900 hogs, $4,000 sheep and $500
calves.
CATTLE.
Good steers were in demand and
values were steady to strong. Bulk
OF stuff sold at 8.0009.75 as quail
ity was plain. Few lots went at
1900 but strictly prime animals
were quoted up to $685.. Medium
and plain steers were steady. Best

values with other grades steady.
Some shippers paid up to 1000 for
