There is a healthy and spiritual

America. In Europe you can hear
good, hearty daughters, but very rare

TRADING IN ERIE.
 BOOSIS MARKET
Profit Taking In Consolidated Gas Carries General List
 Downward
By WALTER D. BROWN

(by Leased Wire To The Age-H erald)
 NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Pool opera tions in Erie had strengthening eff feet on all the low priced rails Mon day and the market started off good and strong. It kept it up through most of the session, but in the last hour or so the break in Consolidated Gas. on reports of new financing, started profit-taking movement which carried the general list slight ly under the closing prices of sat urday.
 Foreign news was ignored, but there Is an impression that the de- cline in sterling reflects in some measure the flight of capital from Europe to seek safe investment here. This is thought to account for some of the buying of stocks and bonds of the last few days, although too much significance cannot be laid on this view.
 One of the constructive develop ments of the day was the announce rnent of Secretary Mellon's plan for a reduction In taxes. My readers will recall that a few days ago I urged them to write to their congressman and senators insisting they make taxation the first order of business at the coming session of Congress. Others have. no doubt, made the same plea, but in any event, the press re- ports from Washington are to the effect that members of Congress are much impressed by the demand from their constituents for a reduction in MT. Melons tax reduction program will mean to a salaried taxpayer married and having two children.

l. GRAPE JUICE FOUND IN YALE STUDENTS ROOM
Harmless Drink Is Made Potent By
 Adding Yeast

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov. 13.- Thirty Yale students have been ques- toned by the dean about the presence In their rooms of grape juice which was unfermented when purchased but later was made potent by the addition of yeast.
 An agent took orders or the campus for the juice which was delivered after so long a time that many thought his visit was a hoax. With the juice came directions for adding the yeast. Many followed the direc- tions and found that the receipe worked all right.
 The deans office obtained & list of the purchasers. In addition to other question the dean asked the pur- chasers their views on drinking in general Dean Frederick g. Jones said today that the question of discipline would be discussed later by a faculty and student committed.
 A recent faculty order threatened expulsion of students who were found to have intoxicating liquor in their rooms

The incomes above are those of the great bulk of our citizens and when it is put up to them in dollars and cents 1t is the most natural thing in the world that they should want to take advantage of that saving.
 This question of tax reduction can not be separated from the bonus pro- position. Secretary Mellon points out that if a bonus Is passed not only will 1t be impossible to reduce taxes but they will. have to be increased and will stay high for a number of years Personally. I am not opposed to a bonus-if the nation could afford it.
 On the question of caring for the disabled I am willing to be taxed as much as may be necessary, provided only that the money is honestly anu jud;ciously spent for the purpose pro vided; out as to being taxed for the sake of handing out gratuity to able-bodied veterans-let us be honest about it--just so the congressman voting for 1t can be assured of their votes for re- -election-wen that Is another proposition. Every reader of these lines knows down in his heart that if there were no votes there would be no bonus.
 The point is, are you and I willing to carry a burden of high taxation for years to come to enable congress- men to buy votes? Secretary Mellon has put the case before the public in pretty direct fashion. It is just this Is the average citizen desirious of saving from $12.25 to s$222 a year, or Is he willing to let that go and add as much more for number of years?

RAILROAD BOND ISSUES GO STRONG

 With the exception of a fair de- mand for the copper company liens few buyers were in evidence in the industrial group and the general trend was slightly downward.
 Commission houses reported a brisk demand for public utility company liens with the market rather narrow. This resulted in an irregular course of prices with the gains slightly pre- dominating.

NEW DOWNTURNS NOTED IN WHEAT

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Fresh down. turns today in the price of wheat ac- companied new breaks in foreign ex- change. with sterling touching the lowest point this year. Wheat closed unsettled at B @%@%o net decline; December, $1.o2h O @1.o2M @%, and May $1.o7% %@%@1.o7&. Corn fin- ished 5s@%@1Mc up. Oats un- changed to 4 higher, and provisions varying from 2c off to q rise Cf 10c.
 Bears in wheat had an advantage from the fact that sterling showed nearly 10 points drop within about one week, fall equaling 2h cents a bushel on wheat. Besides, consider able notice was taken of talk cur rent in some quarters, that wheat market conditions were the most bearish ever known. On the other hand, however, 1t was asserted that wheat prices were already so low that bread has become the cheapest of foods the world over. Strength which developed in the corn market tended also to rally wheat after De- cember delivery had reached as low as $1.02.
 Much of the wheat buying that helped to bring about recovertes in price. though, appeared tO be from shorts, who were in a position to collect profits. owing to this tenn porary character of tho support for the market, rallies failed to hold well in the last part of the day, especially as all North American markets ex- cept Chicago were closed and some hedging pressure here from the northwest was in evidence. Further more, 1t was expected the United States visible supply total tomorrow would continue to show an increase.
 Wet weather prevailing In the west was chiefly responsible for an upward swing in the corn market. Fears were expressed that tho damp ness would bring about delay in the movement of the new crop. and that the quality of the grain would be in- iured. Moreover, receipts here were less liberal than had been looked for. Oats were firm in sympathy with corn.
 Provisions, although at first easier owing to weakness of hog values, ad- yanced later in response to strength of corn and cotton.

 LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 1s-Ths cotton market opened buoyant under the stimulus of big, advance in Liverpool. heavy buying this side, increasing &C., tivity of dry goods markets, and climbed a little over 100 points before the upward movement spent Itself. Hedging, longs realizing and selling for reaction in the last hour caused values to slip 80 points, but the dip attracted good buying and the closing was steady.
 Buying by the English was the chief feature and furnished the occasion for the bullish enthusiasm this side. Much of the buying was probably due to news paper confirmation of rumors in circula- ton some time to the effect that the British government has agreed to advance S50, 0,000,000 to Lancashire spinners to aid them in getting cotton and increasing their output English interests are said to have been large buyers of January contracts in the American market during the day and are credited with holding large amounts of that option. Spot news as whole was rather disappointing, though several spot ccentsrs sent in reports of good demand from Liverpool. A crop estimate of $780, 900 from O New York commission house attracted attention.
 The market appears to be dominated largely at the moment by demand from England, and prices are likely to con- tinue on the upgrade until they filled.
