Trading Saturday-Wide
Fluctuations.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 14.-Spec-
ulative activities on the curb eX-
change today gave further evidence
of a broadening of public interest in
the oil shares, many of these rising
to new high figures for the year. Fa-
vorable reports had been daily re-
ceived of a distinct Improvement in
trade conditions and recent earning
statements observers said, testified
to conditions of constructive char
acter. There had been n weekly de-
cline of the daily production of crude
oil since September 5. Prices in the
more prominent issues moved upward
but lacked the aggressive tactics of
the previous day. Humble Oil moved
to a new high at 1878 and Magnolia

on Fridays advance of 91a points.
AS the session progressed selling
pressure was discernible In the public
utilities and industrial shares. Le-
high Power ranged from 1877 to 193A
and United Light A declined about 2
points Libby owens dropped .
points and smaller losses were noted
in numerous other issues. Boston
and Maine issues stamped, which ap-
peared in Fridays trading, were in
demand today and strength was
shown in Wilson & Co. sSueS.
The week included wide and violent
movements. many stocks being sub
jected to pressure Monday and Tues
day, when a large number of the ac-
tive issues were without support and
also were influenced by the fact that
liquidation OF Stock Exchange ac-
counts necessitated the closing out
of many of the issues traded In on
the curb.
After the violent declines ON these
two days the market made an equally
violent recovery and on the upturn in
the last half of the week. number
of stocks moved to new high records.

OUTLINES EFFECT
OF SUN ON WEATHER
DR.. Charles G. Abbot Fore
sees Present Basis of Fore
casting Discarded.

LONDON, November 1.-THE Oldest
meteorological society in the world
listened sympathetically last night
while an American astrophysicist out
lined the progress Of Investigations of
the suns radiation which threaten to
discard entirely the present basis of
weather forecasting. The audience
was the Royal Meteorological Society
and the speaker, DIR. Charles G.. Abbot,
who is on his way to Africa and
Baluchistan at the head Of the Ma
tional Geographic Society's expedition
In cooperation with the Smithsonian
Institution to establish a new station
for observing solar variation.
DIR. Abbot's thesis, which he de-
scribed as a heresy that he hoped
would soon become an article Of faith,
was that the suns radiation varies
from day to day and that the varia-
tions are followed by complex changes
in the weather. DR.. Abbot pointed
out that before the Investigations be-
gun by the Smithsonian Institution 20
years ago. no systematic attempt had
ever been made to measure solar
radiation.
Solar Constant Measurements.
During the past 20 years" con-
tinued DIR. Abbot, "the Smithsonian n
Institution has made several thousa nd
measurements of the solar constant
in every season of the year, from
nearly dozen stations, ranging In
altitude from sea level to 10 miles
above sea level, and under atmospheric
conditions ranging from the hazv
humidity Of Summer at sea level to
ihe extreme purity of the air above a
balloon at 10 miles elevation.
Although these numerous da,er.
limitations fall within a narrow range
they yet show what seems to be two
dlstlnct sorts of variation" One of
these. according to Dr. Abbot. is a
long period variation amounting to .
per cent. and was associated with the
march OF sun spots. The other is a
short-period variation amounting to
as much as 5per cent, occurring when

COMPANY TURNS CORNER.
Corn Products Sees Larger Profits
in Near Future.

NEW YORK, November IA R).-
Officials Of Corn Products Refining
take the view that conditions in the
industry, which suffered from unfavor-
able commodity prices, the greater
part of the year, have returned to
normal. The company is operating at
about Is per cent Of normal capacity,
with daily grinding Of about 1856 900
bushels, and about 10000 bushels
should be added when the Kansas
City plants reopen the end of the
year.
Demand for manufactured prod
ucts of corn has increased. The large
corn crop this year, resulting in a.
sharp decline in prices for the COM
modify, has enabled the company to
NIL its inventory requirements at
levels which leave it a fair profit.

COTTON VALUES RISE.
Heavy Mill Figures Strengthen
Saturday Market.

NEW YORK, November IA P.-
Unexpectedly heavy figures on do
mestic mill consumption for October
and relatively steady cables from
Liverpool appeared responsible for the
advances in the cotton market today.
January contracts sold up to 2O.23, a
recovery of 20 points from the low
level yesterday and a net advance of
4s points, but more Southern selling
and realizing developed at this figure,
and that delivery closed at 1000. The
general market closed easy, although
final quotations showed net gains or
II TO 28 points.
Private cables attributed the rela-
tiyely steady ruling of Liverpool to
trade calling and continental buying.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end OF the
week was estimated at $4,000 bales,
against 232, 900 last year.

Big POTATO SHOW
now ON At BUTTE
Supported by Growers, CONNER
ciaI Organizations, and COun-
ty Agents of State

While a number Of the larger con-
suming centers of the state are ex-
.Oeriencing a real potato shortage,
producers Of Montana have shipped
more than a hundred carloads Of pO-
tatOes out Of the state this fall, says
F. NJ. Harrington, hOrticulturist at
Montana State college. This is a
situation that potato growers, con-
sumers and college authorities are
working to prevent and the CONNER
cial Potato show now being held at
Butte is a step in that direction
New for Montana
The potato show is being supported
by Montana potato growers, the Butte
Chamber of Commerce and other or
CARNATIONS Of the state, county
agents and Smith-Hughes agricultur-
al instructors. 1t is the first attempt
of its kind in the state, but is similar
to the egg shows and apple shows
held in other years. The effort to
bring Montana consumers and Mon
tana producers together is being CEN
tered at Butte because that city Is
the greatest consuming center in the
state and it has also been the great
est user cf imported farm products,
particularly potatoes.
Mr.. Harrington states that to pro-
duce potatoes in Montana for Out--Of-
the-state markets while markets in
the state are satisfied by imported
potatoes is neither economic nor eff
ficient, and that in a year such as
the present one, rather serious con-
sequences may be expected from such
a system. Recent newspaper dis
patches from Butte told Of a very
serious potato shortage there. Prices
advanced than 100 per cent
within a few days, and dealers were
limiting the sale of potatoes to 10
pounds to each consumer. 1t was said
that there was not more than a days
supply in the city.
General Shortage
This situation comes as a result Of
a general short potato crop through
out the nation, says Mr.. Harrington,
and out Of the state producing CEN
ters which ordinarily have supplied
Montana markets have disposed cf
their crops elsewhere.
The big factor in remedying the
situation, says Mr.. Harrington is first
to acQuaint Montana consumers with
the high quality of Montana products
and then, with a demand created,
Montana producers must be encour-
aged to ship their products to home
markets first, exporting only the sur
plus.

CITY TAKES over
Big SKATING RINK
Will Conduct it as Municipal In
stitutiOn-SaIe Of Tickets
to Defray Costs

To solve problems that had arisen
in past years and to insure the "Ed-
dies" and older folk of BOZeman good
sport during the winter season, the
city has taken over the skating rink
at Beall park and will conduct it as
a municipal institution.
al steel fence enclosing the rink
has been erected, rules have been
made, and other steps taken to pro-
vide for a b~usiness-like handling of
the enterprise. The cost Of maintain
ing the rink is estimated at about
SIT a day, and this will be raised by
the sale Of season tickets and single
admission cards.
The schedule of prices as annOunc-
ed by City Manager Fred M. Brown
is: Single admission, Is cents; sea-
son tickets for grade school pupils.
$1.00; season tickets fer high school
students, $500; season tickets for all
others, $3.50. Tickets can be pur-
chased at the Gallatin County High
school, the Emerson school, of R. o
Wilson at Montana State college
Harry Grant, Commercial NatiOna
bank, Sam Meador, Smiths Furniture
store, Miss Goblin, Phillips BOOl
store, or at the city hall.
Weather conditions will have {
great deal to do with the success o.
the city's new enterprise, it is ex
pected, but hopes are entertained tina
that they will prove favorable. Las
year there were only q days en- which
skating was possible, but in forme,
seasons as many as go or 70 favOrabl,
days were experienced. The expens
of conducting the rink is for keeping
it in good condition and providing
for other details of operation.
