HARDWARE J0BBERS SAY
AUTUMN TRADE is GOOD

NEW YORK, October IS.-The mos+
notable feature of the hardware mar
ket at present from the jobbers' view
point is the fact that current sales

ports from agricultural districts indi-
cate a prevalence of a feeling that
present prices are too high. Prices

"Jobbers are urging retailers TO
order their holiday requirements as
early as possible. as it is reported

Grain, Produce and
Live Stock
LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

Liberal supplies of chickens and
ducks are being received and the de-
mand Is great enough to keep the
supplies moving. Many small and
poor ducks are on the market, but
the demand for them is small, at de-
creased prices. Live ducks were
quoted at from 20 to 25 cents, while
dressed stock brought from 2s 10 35
cents.
There are plenty choice chickens on
the market, some from nearby and
others from distant points. Dealers
quoted live chickens at from 80 to
81 cents and dressed stock at from
81 to 35 cents.
Only few turkeys have been re-
ceiVed by local dealers and there is
practically no demand for them. It
is probable that the demand will be
light until the approach of the
Thanksgiving holiday season. Prices

SEVERAL DECLINES
IN BOND MARKET
Extreme. IrreguIarity Noted

Hold Firm.
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 18.-Extreme
irregularity prevailed in today's bond
market, with continued good inquiry
for some investment issues and re-
action in the more speculative de-
scriptions
1t was a market that proved con-
fustng to investors and spectators
alike. The most encouraging deveI-
opment was in the good absorption

Tie time to demonstrate how well
lhese bonds have been placed, but
opinion is that there has been a
minimum of speculative buying.
Most Noticeable Reactions.
Today's reaction among the listed
issues was most noticeable in the
case of the Virginia Carolina bonds.
Both the first mortgage Is and the
Y, with Warrants, sold down a point
and a quarter to two points in the
hrst half of the day, with some sub
sequent rally. AS far as could be
learned there were no developments in
the company's affairs to account for
the weakness. 1t appears to be SIM
ply a case where bonds were offered
for the sale "at the market"

Seaboard Air Line adjustments. Chi

tional Great Northern adjustments
We're heavy to weak There are a
few exceptions. Chicago Railways SIS
gained on small transactions and
Hudson and Manhattan incomes were
little changed. The Hudson and
Manhattan earnings statement for
September made very good show
ing. For the month surplus after
charges, including full interest on the
adjustment bonds. was $1OS99I.
against S56.193 a year ago. For the
nine months of the calendar year the
figures are $S63,826 in 1923, against
$510746 in 1922.
Foreign Issues Irregular.
Quotations for foreign bonds were
equally irregular. Dutch East Indies
issues and Belgium 6s were notably
firm. Other European bonds were
dull. Among the South American OBJ
legations the Brazilians continued
heavy. Republic Of Bolivia SIS rallied
fractfonally from the extreme low

expiration of the time for bonds to be
rendered to the sinking fund

in the futile search for Colonel Mar
shall and Lieutenant Weber. Whose
plane went down somewhere between
San Diego and Nogales, Ariz.
An interesting and remarkable feat
was performed two years ago by
Lieutenant Corkille while he was sta
toned at Carlstrom Field. A plane
from the field while flying over the
''glades," developed trouble and was
forced TO land in them. To Lieutenant
Corkille was assigned the strenuous
task of repairing it and getting it out,
il possible. He spent three weeks Oh
the job. but he accomplished his mis-
sion. He repaired the ship. and with
the aid of the Seminole Indians made
a clearing and runway in the ever
glades that enabled him to fig the ship
out and back to Carlstrom Field. So
amazed were the Seminoles at his
typical accomplishment, and so T.
tached had they become to him during
his three weeks with them. that they
voted him a blood member of their
tribe.
Through his pleasing personality
Lieutenant Corkille has come to be
one of the best liked officers. not onl,
