chemical engine. which has been
placed in No. fire house while the
combination wagon from that house
is undergoing repairs. 1t was pointed
out that a fire in this section would
result in great loss, regardless Of
how small it may be, because it
would be necessary to play a plug

age from water alone. 1t is more

the Importance of its need was

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.--Another morning of strong Liverpool cables started wheat sharply higher but the demand soon played out, the market thereafter being characterized by unlmportant buying power. Argentine started 1h to 2 up but during the day Broomhall reported rains, which suggests an easing of Buenos Aires prices. Winnipeg was in- clined to reactionary, commencing to feel the weight of hedging sales. Broom hall says that the recent buying con- tinent will slacken as soon as arrivals and native wheat become available. A quick setback of 4c in wheat and 7c in rye, as occurred today, is strongtIy sug- gestive of an overbought market as well as of dwindling buying power. It is to be noted that Liverpool and Win nipeg markets both mention few buyers. Rains in Argentina, if general, will fur ther lessen the demand in all the mar kets. Taking everything into considera- ton we feel that the market has made full response to the worlds situation as indicated at the moment.
 There was a show of strength fin corn and oats early in sympathy with wheat but there was no evidence of any irn- portant buying. On recessions in the corn market active local interests gave support, prices rallying easily under an absence of offerings.-John F. Clark G Co.

PRICES OF CORN
 SHOOT UPWARD Wet Weather And Dearth Of Offerings Scare Re-
 cent Sellers

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.--with corn prices shooting upward and rye down the grain markets went through more va ried changes today than have been wit messed here in Q long while. Wet weath- CT and sudden dearth of offerings scared recent sellers of corn and it jumped wildly, closing nervous 2h to 2hc net higher; December, $1.13A @1.13A. Rye at one time was Sc off as result of lessened European demand. In wheat the finish was unsettled at 1c lower to an equal advance; December $1.49S Q 1.49M to May $1.54A @1.54M, with oats varying from hc decline to Ac gain and provisions all the way from lbc lower to rise of 17c. <
 It was during the last hour of trad ing that speculative attention shifted to the corn market and brought about 2 sharp upturn in values there. Hurried attempts to buy disclosed that but lit- tie was for sale and in some quarters significance was attached to the fact that of late the price of Argentina corn has been gaining rapidly as compared with corn in the United States. The inference was drawn that Argentine competition in, this country has become a negligible quantity and that mean while the prevailing wet weather has nut the domestic corn crop in danger of serious new damage should freezing temperatures be met with soon.
 The wheat trade was virtually drawn battle within which alternating upturns and declines over 4c ranges largely from Argentine drought advices succeeded by word of beneficial rains over part of Argentina. Estimates that export purchases of wheat would total 2o)O. 900 bushels helped to rally the mar ket at the last.
 Oats were influenced by gossip that good export business might be done shortly.
 Irregularity in, the provision market appeared to be related a good deal to the uncertain trend of grain.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Partial recovery of the St. Paul issues, reactionary tendency in the general list. prompt oversubscription of the $15,o0o,00o 6h per, cent external sinking fund gold bonds of the Nord Railway company of France with the announcement of an of fering of s7.0oo.00o Finnish municipal bonds were the outstanding develop ments in today's bond market.
 St. Paul 4s of 1925, which bore the bruut of yesterdays selling pressure. rallied 3M points, recovering about half their loss. The convertible 41zs showed a gain of If points with corresponding advances in the other st. Paul issues. High grade railroad liens were heavy Union Pacific refunding 5s and Nor folk and Western Convertible 6s each losing . point and several others yield ing large fractions. Adams Express 4s advanced a point to . new high at S5.
 Foreign liens showed mixed changes with the standard issues holding steady on reports that the terms of the Ger man loan would be made known on Thursday. A firmer tendency in tho time money market had little appreci- able effect on United States govern ment securities which moved within nar- row and irregular limits.
 Sugar company liens lost ground in sympathy with the decline in stock prices.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 7.--The cotton market was very quiet today. lt was a typical pre-bureau market with the evening up process about all completed in previous sessions and with ittle in- centive even for activity by sealpers. The usual uncertainty as to what the government reports tomorrow VIII snow restricted business to eleventh hour liuuidation and covering. The advance which took place, while small, was said to represent belated covering by ring shorts.
 At the start Liverpool was some bet ter than due but the market here maoe but a small response, first trades show ing gains of only points. Prices eased off slightly during the first half of the morning. December declining to 24.SOc and January to 25.03c, or 4 points be- low tha previous close for both posi- tions. tThese levels were the lows or the day. The market then drifted until around noon when covering by ring shorts started an advance which culmt- mated in the afternoon at 24.23c for De- cember and 25.90c for January, or 26 to 27 points up from the lows of the morning. The close was near the top, showing net gains for the day of IS points on October and 16 to IS points on other active months
 The general expectation is for an in- dicated crop by the government of 12.- 400, 900 bales. The market is believed to have discounted that figure. Any thing above would be considered bearish and anything below would have a tendency to cause an advance. Ale though the weather map was fair ex- cept for some rains in the northwest, conditions were interpreted to mean the possibility of unsettled weather in the near future.
 Although Monday next will not be a legal holiday locally as Columbus Day falls on the Sunday preceding, the New Orleans exchange will be closed.

COTTON QUIET
 AND IRREGULAR General Market Closes Steady At Gains Of
 IS To "A Points

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Except for spurts of liquidation at the opening and towards the close, trading in the cot ton market today was very quiet and fluctuations irregular. After selling off early at 25.05c, December advanced to 25.34c in the late afternoon, or 2e points net higher, and closed at 25.2Sc. The general market closed very steady at net advances of 15 to 25 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of Il to IS points on prospects for unsettled weather in the southwest and the fairly steady showing at Liver- pool. Little hedge selling and consid- erable liquidation eased the market right after the opening, October selling making the active months net un- changed to F points lower. About 49 October notices were reported, which doubtless accounted for the relatively easy ruling of the near months, but the selling soon tapered off and aftep a very quiet middle session the market turned upward on covering for over the government reports. The outlook for rains and lower temperatures in the southwest probably contributed to the advance which carried January to 25.46c or 49 points. net higher. Last prices were within a few points of the best.
 Another private crop report estimated the condition at 53.8 and the indicated yield at 12,263 bales. A canvass among members of the New York cotton ex- change showed an average expectation of a government report tomorrow mak- ing the condition 63.2. Private cables reported a quiet market in Liverpool with light hedge selling about offset by trade calling. The bulk of the busi- ness locally except for little early hedge selling was attributed to to q final adjustment of accounts in prepa. ration for tomorrow's government re- mort.

PRICE CHANGES MOSTLY SMALL
 AMONG STOCKS
Bears Fail In Attempts
 To Unsettle General !, List

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Desultofy trad Ing characterized today's stock market with price changes generally small and unimportant. Total sales fell below 300 000 shares for the first time since the middle of September.
 Bear traders made an attempt to un- settle the general list during the morn inr. centering their attacks on the su- gars and a few vulnerable specialties, but they failed to bring out much long stock and their efforts were soon aban- doned. Operators on the long side, how ever, were unable to bid up prices with out running into substantial volumes of stock with the result that trading was listless in the latter half of the session.
 United States Steel common, Amer ican Can and Baldwin all closed frac- tionally higher.
 A heavy tone developed in several of the high grade rails, Atchison, Nickel Plate," Illinois Central preferred, Rock Island 2 per cent preferred and Gulf, Mobile and Northern preferred showing recessions of a point or more.
 Heavy selling of the sugars was at- tributed to the political disturbances in Cuba and to speculative disappoint- ment over this years earnings. Amer jean Sugar Refining, Cuba Cane pre- ferred and Punta Alegra closed 1 to 1h points lower while South Porto Rican broke points to 67.
 Further accumulation took place in Rayuk Bros, which cloed 2% higher at 46N. American Ice rallied a point to 76 on official assurance that earn ings were satisfactory and the present dividend rate would be maintained. Good buying also was noted in Union Tank Car, Wells-Fargo Express, Ma tional Dairy and General Asphalt, up l to points.
 St. Paul issues made further slight recovery from yesterdays early weak ness. Southern Railway was heavy in the early trading in response to the fil- ing of a suit by preferred stockholders in an effort to recover back dividends alleged to be due, but rallied later on publication of an official statement dis putting that Glaim.
 American Water Works broke points to 108M and then rallied feebly. The decline in Chandler Motor, which touched q new low at 31h, was interpreted as an adjustment to it's recently reduced divi- dend rate. Consolidated Gas of Balti- more broke 4 points on one sale and Nash Motors dropped Az.
 Call money held steady at 2h per cent. The time money market was flrmer, maturities of four to six months being quoted at 3A to 3h per cent in- stead of to 3k, although business was quiet. Commercial paper rates were un- changed.
 Strength of the South American rates featured the foreign exchange market, Argentine paper pesos and Brazilian milreis were quoted at 3SHc and 11%c, respectively, as compared with S6Mc and 11Ac yesterday. European exchanges eased slightly, demand sterling being quoted just above $4.45h and French francs ruling around 5.22c.
