ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.

CHICAGO, September 26.-Iniu-
enced by reports that European pur-
chasing of wheat yesterday on this
side of the Atlantic totaled almost
100000 bushels. the wheat market
here averaged higher in prices today
during the early dealings. The fact
that the Winnipeg market was Arm
despite liberal receipts counted also
as a bullish factor. Besides, Wash

siderable attention. Opening prices,

NEW YORK, September 26-Nego-

RAIL MERGER FAVORED.
B. & o. President Urges New Eng
land Lines Consolidation.

BOSTON, September 26. - Daniel
Willard. president of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. strongly favored a
consolida ton of all New England
railroads, including the Boston and
Albany, the Central Vermont and the
New England lines of the Grand
Trunk and the Canadian Pacific. in
speaking before members of the In
terstate Commerce Commission at a
hearing here.
Mr.. Willard reiterated his opposi-
ton expressed before the commission
last May to one of it's tentative con-
solidation plans, whereby the Balti-
more and Ohio would take over the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad. He remarked that If the
New England roads demanded a
greater share in the rate divisions
for through traffic, they ought to re-
duce their operating costs and in
crease local revenues where possible.
If the Baltimore and Ohio were left
out of a trunk-line merger of the
New England roads II would probably
withdraw the Representatives now So
liciting business in New England.
he said, suggesting that his proposed
New England system could utilize
certain waterways, motor truck and
trolley lines for short hauls, on which
they were certainly now losing money.

TROPICAL STORM THREAT
HITS THE COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, September 26.-The
first tropical storm threat of the sea-
SON as reflected by reports that north
east storm signals had been posted
on the southeast Florida coast was
followed by an opening advance of
10 to 10 points in the cotton market
today. There was covering and some
trade buying, but after selling at
2s.o7 on the call December broke to
27S5 during the early trading, or
about points net lower, owing to
continued liquidation. The latter was
promoted by reiterated reports of an
easier tone in the local cotton goods
market and continued uncertainty ab

was felt yesterday, October dropping
to 27.37. Then attention was direct
ed to the storm and it's apparent
course toward the straits of Florida,
and the fear was aroused that it
would get into the Gulf of Mexico. A
sharp rally ensued and at the end

BOND QUOTATIONS
TURN Downward
Speculative Rails, IndustriaIs
and Foreign Issues Sell
at Lower Prices.
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, September 2s.-The
bond market turned definitely weak
today. There were a few exceptions,
but the general rule was lower prices.
In the case of the high grade rails
and industrials, the losses were only
fractional. but some large blocks
were reported for sale, whether for
the account of institutions or individ-
ual investors could not be learned. In
the United States government list the
third AIS were strong under what
was apparently government buying.
The tax-exempt 37s went lower.
Low Priced Rails Heavy.
Speculative rails were heavy. Trad
ing was light and therefore the un-
derlying condition was not so evident
as in the case of the speculative utili-
ties and industrials. Hudson and
Manhattan refunding 5s and incomes
continued in supply not withstanding
the favorable earning statement pub
lished today
New York and Richmond Gas 6s. Of
fered in July. 1922. at 971s, sold down
below S5. Third Avenue adjustments
were also lower. There was heavy
trading in the Rapid Transit securities
SIS at fractionally declining prices.
Among the industrials Ajax Rubber
SIS made new low record, as did
American Chain IS. OF the rails the
B. & o. were firm. and the Eries and
st. Louis, San Francisco Junior issues
held very we'll
Foreign Bonds React.
Foreign bonds reacted with the rest.
In the case of the French obligations,
the surrender of the Germans appeared
to be pretty well discounted. Central
European bonds held relatively better
than the French issues. The Czecho-
slovak IS sold at their recent high, and
at one time the City of Greater Prague
7h made an advance.
The strongest feature among the for
eign bonds was the City of Toxic 5s,
which had a rather sharp run up.
Other Japanese issues likewise were a
little higher. Heaviness in Brazilian
descriptions was again evident.
New Offering Expected.
1t is expected that a $6 900, 900 loan
to the Republic of Salvador would be
offered early next month. The bonds
will run for about twenty-five years
and carry an S per cent coupon.
For today's pessimistic feeling there
was no new reason given. II probably
represented the reaction of bond trad
ers and investors to the same infiu-
ences working in the stock market.
Offerings of several of the motor
stocks came upon the market at re-
cessions of point or SO. 1t Is be-
lieved in some quarters that the auto

period of overproduction and this ac-

A LITTLE HORSE SENSE

Why is it the average young man
of twenty has an intense longing
for life in the big cities? Why is it
that millions of men of maturity
in the cities have an equally intense
longing for the peace and guietude
of the rural districts they left in
their younger days?
The country town does not blaze
with the bright lights of life as do
the great cities. 1t is small, but it
is solid and substantial, and inclined
to be subdued. Its citizens words
are as good as their bonds, and
their regulations stand high in the
sight of their fellow men, but the
variety and excitement that appeals
to youth is often missing. Hence
youth becomes fretful and impa.
tlent of restraint, and finally breaks
the home ties and rushes into
the maelstrom of metropolitan ex-
istence.
Once in the great city, possibly
one IN ten succeed, and few forge
gradually to the front. In time
these few are known to the world
as selt-made men. The other nine
are not so fortunate! Opportunities
are numerous, it is true, but where
there Is one opportunity, there are
many young men of varied experi.
ence waiting to grasp it.
Thus the great majority of young
men from the country who invade
the cities expecting to set the world
afre, find about the best they can
do is to burn the candle at both
ends. Too proud to go back to the
home town and confess failure
they just plug along and do the

facts about the customs and lives of

unique contribution from the arctic

mother has her cradle song, Infinitely
low and sweet. The hunter has his
song Of the chase, clear and bold
Even the bad man of the tribe has
his song, and 1t was quick and an
propriately brazen.
Harmony has not been developed
among the Eskimos. They sing onl,
In unison. But their melodies are
weird and wistful, often CONSISTING
or only two or three motives, wblcl
are strangely effective.

THINK BEFORE YOU INVEST

A bunch of American inanciers
are advocating making Germany an
enormous loan. We have no OBJ
lection to such loan, provided the
said financiers HAND OVER
THEIR OWN MONEY. But
that they will never do. They will
sell these bonds to the American
people, pocket their millions in
commissions, and then invest those
commissions in sound AMERICAN
securities.
The American people have been
MIXED before in the same manner,
and the big financiers think they
can milk us again and get away
with it. Look up the low price of
foreign bonds at the present mo-
ment, remember the billions that
Europe already owes us and cannot
pay, and hang onto your money.
If Wall street becomes convinced
thatit must lend its OWN MONEY
to Germany on very doubtful se-
curity, then Wall street will never
make the loan-not a single dollar.
These financiers are not the fools
and suckers they have sized up the
public to be.

best they can, disillusioned and
wiser, but not better off. They are
the millions who. later in life, long
for the peace and quietude of the
home towns they left in their
younger days.
The remedy is simple. Pull the
home town out Of the rut and the
boys won't want to rush out of the
town. Loosen up on the purse
strings and introduce some spice
and variety into our community
life. Make the country town and
the farm so attractive to our young
people, the city will no longer ap-
peal to them.
Don't expect our boys and girls
with red blood in their veins to be
content with spending their lives in
the cemetery. Begin to live your.
self and you won't be opposed tc
allowing the rising generation to dc
the same. Life is full of changes
and there is only one end for the
person who is not willing to change
with the times.

We call it horse sense.

A TRUE friend is a valuable pos
session TO any man. But in order
to gain the friendship of other peo-
pie a man must first be his own
best friend. Truthfulness, sinceri-
ty, energy and a correct mode OF
living should be high spots in his
life. Nothing short of these should
be even considered. When man
attains these virtues he is his own
best friend, and will not lack for
the friendship of others.
