NEW YORK, September 27.-The

October broke to $500 and January
to 24.50 in the late trading, making
net declines of about Sc to 55 points
on the active positions. The opinion
among most local traders appeared
to be that it was too early in the
season for anything like killing tenn
peratures in the South, but it seemed
that the days weather news as a
whole had tended to strengthen ex-
pectations of a further reduction in
estimates of the crop.

Disappointing

NEW YORK. September 21.-The
week end mercantile reviews We're
not altogether inspiring. They did not
go against the idea that business is
expanding, but they did bring out
that this expansion has been slower
than expected. AS Dun's says, THE
chief disappointment seems to lie in
the fact that trade has not broadened
suddenly with the opening of the Fall
season
But the same authority Immediately
goes on TO say that business is fol-
lowing the normal course, which is

Active Stock Buying.
Disnatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch 70 The SUIT.
NEW YORK. September 2t.-No
railroad reporting for August has given
a more striking demonstration of the
cutting down of operating charges than
the Atchison. Its net was nearly
81, ,0o0 900 higher than last year. while
gross was up only 100000. This result
along with the altered prospects in the
grain belt naturally revived discussion
of an increased Atchison dividend, at
the same time precipitating some rather
active buying in the stock.
