TRADE STEADY,
BRADSTREET'S
REPORTS
Business Maintained, With In
dustry Needing More Con-
fidence, Says Review.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Brad
Strept's Weekly Review of Business
said today:
Despite irregularities due to
weather conditions or the urge OF
conservatism, the latter bred large.
1y by price uncertainty, the genera
volume of trade and the pace of In
dusty is fairly we'll maintained and
apparently about equal to this time
q year ago.
"Jobbing trade. on immediate de-
livery account, is reported about as
good as at any time this fall. Trade
In primary channels is under the
check-rein of conservatism as re-
CARDS spring and beyond. In all
positions, careful buying is noted.
Trade Has Confidence.
''As between trade and industry,
it might be said that the pace in
the latter does not seem as conf
dent as at some earlier periods
owing to the slower trend in a few
large Industries. such as iron and
steel, soft coal, lumber, furniture,
and Eastern cotton and machinery
manufacturing Still, even in the
first mentioned trade, October buy
ing so far is said to exceed that of
September, and mill operations are
only slightly less active, although
iron production is smaller and prices
OF this product and of old material
till sag. In cotton goods the ad-
vance of the raw material to a new
nigh level has not had the stiInula-
ting elements shown earlier.
Collections, as for long time
past, show a slower pace than do
buying operations.
Wheat Higher.
Wheat is higher, while all the
other grains are lower. Weakness
In iron, old metal and among the
nonferrous metals, in copper, is
marked, and as whole declines
slightly exceed advances.
"Pessimism is still marked in the
soft coal trade.
Soft coal output this year has
only been surpassed by that of the
war year, 1918.
The petroleum trade shows no
lessening of. the depression earlier
noted, but increased outputs in new
fields are reported to have offset
reductions In California output. The
automobile trade at the largest CEN
ter reports little below capacity
operations, and this is apparently
confirmed by steady buying of
steel"

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The auto
motive industry, an infant at the
beginning of this century, has
quickly grown to full maturity.
There is an increasing tendency
to concentrate the business of fur
nishing motor transportation into
q small group Of the largest and
most efficient producers.
Although there are scores of i'm
portant manufacturers, a handful
turn out the overwhelming proper

Production At Record.
Production this year for the first
time in the history Of the industry
will raech 100000 cars and trucks,
and, according to study recently
made by one of the leaders Of the
industry, thirteen Of the companies,

exceeds 10000 vehicles, are RESPONSE

put of cars and trucks.
production runs between 5000 and
10. 900 vehicles, are responsible for
3 per cent of the country's total
output.
And seventy-five other well known
companies produce no more than
2 per cent Of the aggregate.
Moderate Prices First.
The mass production, of course,
Is made by the companies whose
product is so priced as to appeal
to the individual of moderate in
come. Most Of the great fortunes
In the automotive industry have
been made in producing good cars
cheaply. There are exceptions, but
the makers of extremely expensive
machines have had relatively hard
ledding-financiall
After this year OF unprecedented
ly enormous automotive produc-
ton, the outlook is for a period Of
heightened competition. The lead
ing manufacturers, clamoring for
business, will stress the element of
good values in cars, as compared
with other commodities. and will
also emphasize the utility aspects.
The motor car has been increas-
ingly useful, but it's tremendous
popular appeal does not rest solely
on it's utilization prospects.

When he reached the corral he was seen to halt and pass something to Bedding. Then, he galloped away to join his comrades.
 Bedding looked at whatever 1t was he held in his hand, shook his burly head, and started swiftly for the house He came striding into the room holding piece of soiled paper
 Cant read It now and don't know as l want to-" he said, savagely.
 Not one of the men was able to translate the garbled scrawl
 "Shore Mercedes can read It." said Ladd.
 Thorne opened door and called her. She came into the room followed by Nell and Mrs. Bedding.
 My dear, we want you to read what's written on this paper" said Thorne as he led her to the table.
 Mercedes gave the writing one swift glance, then fainted in Thorne's arms. He carried her to a couch, and with Nell and Mrs. Bedding began to work over her.
 Bedding looked at his rangers.

on TorIorn River. I'm afraid It's
 Bedding hesitated and looked with grim concern at the cavalryman.
 "What" queried Thorne.
 "Im afraid it's Rojas. |"
 Thorne turned pale but did not lose his nerve.
 q thought of that at once. But Roias will never get his hands on my wife. If I can't kill him, I'll kill her :! Bedding, this is tough on you-- this risk we put upon your family. I regret"
 "Cut that kind of talk" replied Bel ding, bluntly. "Well, if it is Rojas he's acting d--n queer for raider. That's what worries me. We can't do anything but wait. With Laddy and Yaqui out there we won't be sur prised."
 The women of the house might have gotten some sleep that night, but IL was certain the men did not get any, Morning broke cold and gray, the 1sh of February. Ladd came in hungry and cold, and said the Aexicans were not breaking camp. He reported good-sized force of rebels, and was taciturn as to his idea of forthcoming events.
 About an hour after sunrise Yaqui ran in with the information that part of the rebels were crossing the river,
 'aThat can't mean fight yet de- clared Bedding But get in the house, boys, and make ready anyway I'll meet him.
 Bedding, you're an officer of the United States. Mexicans are much impressed by show of authority. I've seen that often in camp" said Thorne'
 "Oh, know the white-livered Greasers better than any of you, don't mistake me-" replied Bedding. He was pale with rage, but kept command over himself.
 The rangers, with Yaqui and Thorne, stationed themselves at the several windows of the sitting room. Rifles and smaller arms and boxes of shells Uttered the tables and window seats. No small force of besiegers could overcome a resistance such as Bedding and his men were capable of making.
 The horsegnen halted at the corrals. They were orderly and showed no evi- dence of hostility. They were. how ever, fully armed. Bedding stalked out to meet them Apparently leader wanted to barley with him, but Bel ding would hear nothing. He shook his head, waved his arms, stamped to and fro, and his loud, angry voice could be heard clear back at the house. Whereupon the detachment of rebels retired to the bank of the river, be yond the white post that marked the boundary line, and there they once more drew rein. Bedding remained by the corrals watching them, evidently still in threatening mood. Presently a single rider left the troop and trot- ted his horse back down the road.

IV in sight now. He made a gaudv almost dashing figure Rojas dis. mounted and seemed to be listening Bedding made gestures, vehementlv bobbed his big head, appeared to talk with his body as much as with his tongue Then Rojas was seen to reply. and after that it was clear that the talk became painful and difficult. It ended finally in what appeared to be mutual understanding. Rojas mount. cd and rode away with his men while Bedding came tramping back to the house.
 AS he entered the door his eyes were shining, his big hands were clenched, and he was breathing au- dibly.
 'eYou can rope me if I'm not To- coed r he burst out. "I went out to conciiiate a red-handed little mur- derer, and d-n me if I didn't meet a-a-well I've no suitable name handy. I started my bluff and got along pretty well, but I forgot to men. ton that Mercedes was Thorne's wife. And what do you think? Rojas sWore he loved Mercedes-Swore he'd marry her right here in F6rlorn River sWore he would give up robbing and killing people and take her away from Mexico. He has gold-jeWels. He swore if he didn't get her nOth. ing mattered. He'd die anyway with out her. And here's the strange thing. I believe himI He was cold as ice, and all h-l inside. Never saw Greaser like him. Anyway, without my asking he said for me to think it over for day and then wed talk again"
 Shore we're born lucky!" ejaeu. lated Ladd.
 T reckon Rojas'll be smart enough, to string his outfit across the fewl trails out of Forlorn River" remarkedI Jim.
 That needn't worry us. All wei want is dark to come" replied Bel. ding "Yaqui will slip through. If we thank any lucky stars let 1t be for the Indian. You may go to Yuma inl six days and maybe in six weeks. YouI may have a big fight. Laddy, taksl the .405. Dick will pack his Reming-l ton. All of you go gunned heavy. But the main thing is a pack thatll be light enough for swift travel, yet one that'll keep you from starving on the desert"
 The rest of that day passed swiftly. The sun set, twilight fell, then night closed down. fortunately night slightly overcast. Gale saw the white horses pass his door like silent ghosts Even Blanco Diablo made no sound, and that fact was indeed tribute to the Yaqui. Gale went out to put his saddle on Blanco Sol. The horse rubbed a soft nose against his shoulder. Then Gale returned to the sitting room. There was nothing moro to do but walt and say good-by. Mer- cedes came clad In leather chaps and coat. a slim stripling of cowboy, her dark eyes flashing Her beauty could not be hidden, and now hope and courage had fired her blood.
