Debt Payment Announcement

Uneasy.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October a6.-Re-
newed selling of French bonds was
the feature Of the market today.
French 71as We're relatively the
weakest, dropping below 9S as
against closing price on Satur-
day of e9H. French SIS got down be
low 102 and the Is again sold below
80. All three issues made new lows
on this movement.
The weakness in French bonds
checked trading in other parts of the
foreign list, but did not result as a
rule in lower prices. Mexican bonds
were very strong, continuing the ad-
vance initiated last week when news
was received of an agreement to re
sumo service on the debt. Greek =
were lower, influenced by the trouble
in the Balkans, but German IS and
the German municipal and industrial
issues were steady. So were Poland
IS. A special demand appeard for
Brazil IS at fractional advances.
In domestic induStrialS the low
prices prevailing for raw sugar We're
reflected in the heavinesS of the bonds
of the Cuban sugar producing com
panieS and in a new low for the year
for Eastern Cuba Sugar 712s. Amerl-
can Ice debenture Is opened UP 3
points in sympathy with the stock.
Convertible oil issues were irregular.
Among the rails there was more ac-
tivity in the Erie issues, but without
much change in price.
A new issue of S12,500,000 Inland
Steel 20-year 51s per cent debentures
offered at 9S1s was quickly sold.

WHEAT STARTS OFF
AT HIGHER PRICES
Higher Market in Liverpool and
Drop in Shipments Are
Leading Factors.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, October 26.-Unexpected
higher prices for wheat at Liverpool
led to a decided upturn early today in
wheat values here. Falling off in
world shipments, together with reports
of severe damage by drought in Aus
tralia, tended also to lift the market.
Inclement weather. likely to delay
threshing in Canada as we'll as hinder
the seeding of Winter wheat in the
United States, was an additional
bullish factor. Chicago opening quo
tations. 5s to rs higher, new style,
December, 1.44a1.4 and May, 1.42 q
a14314, were followed by a jump to
1.46 for December and 1.43a for May.
Corn and oats responded TO wheat
strength. Further rain in the corn
belt also was conducive to higher
prices. After opening half to 7s up,
December, 737sa74. corn reacted a
little and then rose higher than before.
Oats started at 1saA to g advance,
December, 39a391s. Later the market
scored some further gain.
In line with hog values, the provi-
sion market was steady.

Sc PER BALE BREAK
IN COTTON MARKET
Government Crop Estimate

Cause of Crash.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 26.-Cotton
prices broke S. bale today on pub
lication Of the Government crop es-
innate Of 1925, 900 bales, an increase
of $4,000 bales compared with the
forecast on October l. December
contracts sold as low IS 1898 cents
pound and January 1922 cents.
Cotton futures opened: October, un-
quoted; December, 21.10 to 21.2l; Jan
uary, 20.40; March, 2O.65; May, 20.75.
The Government crop forecast OF
900 bales was far above the
average of recent private figures, and
was followed by heavy general SELL
ing in the cotton market here. Prices
had eased off before the report was
issued, but broke another cent imme-
diately after it's publication, with De-
cember declining to 1898 and JaISl-
ary to 1922, or 127 to 129 points ~
5ower.
Covering and trade buying at these
figures led to rallies of 20 or so points
around midday, but the market was
very nervous and unsettled. The
census report, showing 9,519,7S4 bales
ginned to October IS, was about in
line with the forecast, but attention
was monopolized by unexpected large
crop figures.

In French francs the decline was
checked and there was a sharp rally.
1t probably meant nothing more than
the covering in of part on an ex-
tensive short interest. Franch gov
ernment and other securities were
lower at the start, but hardened with
the course of the afternoon. The
opinion was that they were encoun-
tering banking support of the same
character that has appeared on all
occasions where serious weakness
was threatened.

Wilde Well Aware of
Failing of Humanity

Among other amusing stories in his
Memoirs and Adventures" Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle relates this Characters
tic story told him by Oscar Wilde:
1--WE were discussing the cynical
maxim that the good fortune of our
friends made us discontinued. The
DEVIL said Wilde, was once crossing
the Libyan desert, and he came upon
a spot where a number of small fiends
were tormenting holy hermit. The
sainted man easily shook off their evil
Auggestions. The devil watched their
failure and then he stepped forward
to give them lesson. "What you do
is too crude" said he. Permit me
for one moment" With that he whls-
pered to the holy man, Your brother
hast just been made bishop of Alex
andria." A scowl of malignant jeal-
ousy at once clouded the serene face
of the hermit. THAT" said the devil
to his imps, "is the sort of thing which
should recommend. -"

Franking Privilege

The privilege of sending and receiv-
ing mail free of postage was once en-
joyed by the President of the United
States, vice president, heads of de-
partments, senators and representa-
tives, and other officials of the gov
eminent during their official terms
For time all former presidents and
widows of former presidents also had
this right, but by an act Of 1873 the
privilege was abolished. BY later acts
1t was conferred on all officers of the
government in the case of official cor
respondence. In 1895 members of con-
gress were allowed this privilege in
their official correspondence.

Must Not Be Separated

Faraday, the great chemist, learned
lesson in boyhood by a very childish
experience. AS little lad, humbly
earning his bread selling newspapers
in the streets, he was waiting outside
the office of an Edinburgh paper for
the morning issue. and thrust his head
and arms through the ratings of the
iron gate. He was a born metaphy
sician and began to speculate on which
side of the ratings he was. "My head
and hands are on one side" he said to
himself, land my heart and body are
on the other" The gate was opened
hastily before he could disengage him
self, and the wrench he received taught
him, as he said in after life, that all
true work required head and heart and
hands to be on the same side

Those to whom a commonplace APP
pears to be extraordinary are rare, but
they are precious, since they, and they
alone have built up our minds. They
are the creators of human intelligence,
the wide-eyed individuals who point
out to the mass of mankind what has
been accepted as a matter of routine.
They are the poets, religious leaders,
story tellers, philosophers, theologians.
artists, scientists, inventors. Com
monty unnoticed things excite
strange and compelling curiosity in
them, and each new question sets
them on fresh quest. They see where
others are blind, hear where others are
deaf. They form the noble band of
wonderers.-James Harvey Robinson.
