pictures linked together, and con-
ceded to be bombshell of mirth,

Loew's Palace Theater, beginning
next Sunday afternoon. Excel

cast, among them being the
English beauty, Margaret Leahy,

and business. Beginning back in
the days when the world was new
and somewhat green. the picture
depicts wildly the cave-man era,
with Buster Keaton enacting one
OF the most amusing roles it has
been his good fortune to play.

HUBBARD BROS. < CO.'S LETTER

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.--Improvement, in Manchester and uneasiness as to the abtl- ity of the trade to obtain grades which have been sold caused sharply higher Liverpool this morning. Our market re- sponded, but ran into heavy liquidation due to the clearing weather in the west ern-belt and a somewhat freer offering of spot cotton reported in Texas last night. Some Eeatcion after the recent ad- vance would not be at all unnatural, but the general situation is no easier than 1t has been and. in fact, these heavy rains will tend to aggravate an already serious condition so far as the better grades are concerned, as our contract is based on fairly high grade delivery basis. It will tend to eliminate a large quantity of cotton from being deliverable on this market. The cloth market is somewhat better, with more doing and as a conse- quence we expect the mill trade to enter the market to fix prices if any reaction does take place. In the long the final an swer as to what prices will bring this year has by no means been determined and is still as complex a problem as ever.
 Liverpool futures are due tomorrow: January, 1so4d; May 15.74.-Hubbard Bros

CHICAGO, Oct. 17-Decided set backs in the price of wheat resulted today from enlarged selling based more or less on opinions that pre- vailfng wet weather although un- favorable for the rapid drying out of corn was giving the new wheat crop good start. Closing quotations were unsettled 3-S to 1 34 cents net lower, December 1.06 to 1.06 5-S ana May Ill 1-4 to LII 3-8. Corn fin- ished IA to 5-8 down, oats 3-S to l-2 off and provisions at unchanged fle- ures to 12 cents decline.
 At first. the wheat market was more or less dominated by apparent strength of corn values, but later the case was reversed and the weakness of wheat had bearish effect on corn. Lowest prices of the day In the wheat pit were reached shortly before the close, with offerings free on the part of holders and with the market poorly supported. Iatk was current that an advance In vessel rates on the great lakes might soon divert larger shipments of wheat into the United States from Canada and that any reduction in rail rates would be insufficient to put domestic wheat on an export basis, Tempor- arily, such factors were offset by at tention to rains in the corn belt and to assertions that much Nebraska corn was rotting in the fields.
 After midday, however, sentiment changed among traders, and with a lack of aggressive new buying, the market took e swing toward lower level. part of change was due to the fact that offerings of corn to arrive here were more liberal than in quite awhile.
 For the first time this season, new corn from Iowa reached. Chicago to- day and some new corn came Tn also from other sources. Cash prices re- mained firm, though. and future de- liveries showed better rallying pow CT than was the case with wheat Oats followed corn.
 Provisions were easier in line with the hog market.

No explanation of the re- duction in amount or the reason for withdrawing the offering last night could be obtained.
 Investment houses with wire con@ nections reported considerable fn- crease in buying orders, but stated such orders limited the purchase price and had caused little advance in the general list.
 High grade investment railroad mortgages were in demand while the secondary issues fell off slightly. Pub lie utility liens were active but gen. erally shaded yesterdays prices. Speculative selling of Virginia Caro- lima Chemical 7i5s, with warrants, pushed these bonds down 3A points.
 Foreign government issues were dull with Norwegian and Danish bonds showing further recessions Active United States government bonds showing further recessions. Active United States government bonds were relatively steady iR dull trading.
