NET CHANGES FEW INV BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Despite an exceptionally large demand on the part of investors. both from individ- lals and corporations, for high grade investment railroad bonds, the net change in that group was very small, survey of closing prices in today's bond market disclosed.
 In fact the averages for the day based on ten fairly active bonds of this class, showed a decline of .O1. Traders, however, reported that transactions were considerably larger than usual and that actual buying orders are on the increase.
 The chief feature of today's trad ing, perhaps, was the hesviness of Mexican bonds. The Mexican As dropped 3% to a new low for the year and the 5s also fell off frac- tionally. Selling was influenced by published reports of further delay in getting the Mexican deoc agp cement in operation and inability of traders to obtain accurate information on the subject.
 Prices of number of public utility liens were shaded when the offerings exceeded bids for this class of bond, while some of the indrs- trial liens fell off with the compara- tive heavlness of stocks.
 Little interest was displayed in to- days tracing in the United States government bonds, all of which closed at practically the same levels as yesterday. Buying of Colombian and Bolivian bonds influenced a moderate advance in those issues.
 The books were closed on the gov ernment of Finland offering of s10,- O0O,00O external per cent bonds.

Faithful Reproductions Said To Feature "Ashes Of Vengeance"

In presenting Norma Talbadge in Ashes of Vengeance" the superb production which comes to the Trianon next week., Joseph M. Schenck has given the screen a big Der and better" picture-an excellent play well acted and magnificently staged.
 The film Is historical romance. but 1t Is unique in that the characters are human and appealing, while no liberties are taken with history. It Is unique, too, in that though the backgrounds are the latest word in gigantic and picturesque setting, not for once do the backgrounds obtrude upon the story. The magnificent set tings are there because the locale of the story is faithfully reproduced. The thousands of extras sweep across the scenes in those massive settings in incidents related to the story. There is an abundance of clashing swords, slashed doublets, court beauties, swaggering horsemen
 but 1t Is the story, a moving, heart appealing story, which is pre- emi nent. It Is the story of love that conquers pride and hereditary hate,

telling of Huguenot noble, Rupert de Vrieac Conway Tearle) who, to save the life of his sweetheart, be- comes slave of his hereditary enemy, Comte de la Roche, for five years and who is made to feel his lowry position by the naughty sister of this enemy, Yoeland de Breaux (Norma Talmadge). He saves her invalid sister from the attack of a wolf, and later saves her from maddened sol diers who seek the life of the des- picable Due de Tours (Wallace Beery), whom she shields in her uncle's castle. Romance buds, but Yoeland resists the, call of her heart, ever reminding herself of Ruperts former sweetheart. But later she learns that this lady had proved faithless, and secures the release of Rupert from his obligation. This is the briefest of brief sketches of the plot. It moves rapidly through nu- merous dramatic situations to the sweeping away of an old family feud in a noble love. Norma Talmadge plays the complex part of the ada mant aristocrat with conviction and appeal.

w ALL STREET IS LOSING PRESTIGE
No Longer Barometer Of Trade Conditions, Says
 Business Head
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial Leased Wire to The Age-HeraId,


 NEW YORK, Oct. l9--"The buSi- community" sad the president of prominent organization of manufac- turers, the other day, no longer takes its cue from Wall street. 1s has ceased to be the barometer or trade conditions. It has been deep ly dyed with pessimism for many months while business has been go- ing steadily on it's way. Wall street has been wrong or lather | has been suffering from an attack of nerves. The country is still prosperous in spite of all the doleful predictions to the contrary and business men are going right on with their plans, con- fident of the future"
 The business dope sheets, Of the Dessimissic theorists, to borrow 6 racs track term. have been merely or historical rterf st, but as to predict ing the future cn the basis of these past performances, they nave been sheer nonsense, because tney nave taken no account of the new factors. No Condition Like Them.
 If may be possible to tell with un- failing accuracy the hour and mn ute when the moon will come De- tween the earth and the sun because these calculations are based upon unchanging factors. But the Tact that bonds declined or money was tight following the Civil war or the
  war has nothing to do with coh0'- tions following the great war
 There never have been any con ditions iI.st like them. Europe never before was bankrupt; America never before was the great creoltor nhtLoii, l, the gold supply was never oeIore concentrated as it is and there never before had been such a social re- organization as that through which we are now passing.
 O o O
 Poor Propaganda.
 It is also a pretty safe assumption that no calamity is ever quite as bad as first reports make It appe%r of excepting, of course, reports or military operations. We have been hearing a good deal abont the unfor- tunate condition of the northwestern farmers because of the low price or wheat which had left them practl- cally bankrupt. It is turning out .o be pretty poor sort of propaganda because 1t has spread the impression tl1af farm loans were of doubtful se- curity and eastern financiers nave heen rather shy of loaning money 10 these western borrowers. Th1s Tact has begun to make an iIppressioii and now these farmers are hastehlhs to assure the world that they are rot exactly broke but they are great Iv disappointed in the prices that ,, have been realized for their crops. The condition of the cotton rarm- CT is steadily improving as the price of the staple advances. Buy- ing power in the south IS theretore steadily increasing so that taken al- topether the agricultural communi- ty is giving quite good account ot itself and will aid materially Tn keeping the wheels of industry nov ing at pretty lively pace.

DOWNWARD SWING
 IN WHEAT PRICE

CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-Influenced to a considerable extent by talk of Russian competition and of probable increased imports of Canadian wheat into the United States, the wheat market had a downward swing the greater part of the time today, Prices closed heavy, # to 11s cents net lower, with December $1.o5M to s1.O45s and May s1.O9s to $1.O9%. Corn lost % to IS at 1A cents and oats A to ss cents. In provisions, the outcome ranged from 10 cents decline to like advance.
 The finish in the wheat market was at virtually the days lowest level, about 6 cents under the recent high point. Persistent selling on the part of commission houses that were active buyers of late was notice able feature. Especially during the final half hour, demand was swamped and much of the unloading was ascribed to holders who had pur- chased on the basis of assumptions that government farm relief plans would serve to advance values. Word that today's sales to Europe totaled 100000 bushels, mostly Canadian wheat had no apparent effect In rally1ng the market.
 Assertions which were afterward denied that at present prices of flour miller as far south as Kansas could import Canadian wheat at a profit did a good deal to start the days downturns In the wheat mar ket here. Temporarily, an appear ance of strength in corn was of aid toward steadying wheat, but weak ness of hog values undermined corn, and with further bearish gossip about impending large wheat ship ments from Russia new declines en- sued.
 Big receipts for hogs here point ing for decreased receipts for corn made sentiment in the corn pit veer to the bear side. Oats followed corn,
 Packers buying gave comparative steadiness to provisions.

One of Al. G. Fields cleverest "boys"-Mr. Field always referred to his minstrel performers as his boys and one of the best of the popu- lar players with the Al. G. Field Mnstrels today is Boni Mack. Boni isn't his real first name, of course, but a stage name he adopted a good many years ago.
 Mack's special forte is female i'm presentations, which may not sound like minstrelsy, to be sure, but which has become a very important part of the Field shows entertain ment.

 The report will be given to the city council at it's next meeting and it is probable it will be published so that all taxpayers may have an op- portunity of seeing and digesting it for themselves.

FAIRFIELD BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD !
 Fairfield. Ala, Oct. 1S J

Thank God for Ellis Island and the restricted immigration, was the key note of a short talk delivered by Thomas I. Reece of Fairfield before the Kiwanis club of this city Friday at luncheon. He Is just back from three months visit to his old home in England.
 MT. Reece said. as he was stand ing on deck preparing to sail Tor home, 2000 of the riff raff and scum of Europe piled aboard into the steer age and sailed for this land. He sald that the work of the inspectors at Ellis Island was invaluable to this nation and that the most careful con sideration should be given to whom should be permitted to land on these shores. He said among other inter esting things that Europe was work ing and working fast and that the distress signals America is getting is somewhat i'll timed. He pointed out that most factories were run ming full time and that in Germany the nation is engaged in the largest naval and shipping program ever conceived by any nation. He said that the prices there are in keeping with the low mark and that the American dollar would buy more in America than elsewhere.
 The plain matter of fact talk of MT Reece was interesting to the members of the Kiwanis club. The general idea that Europe was still in need of saving, Mir. Reece says, Is quite an exaggeration.
