CHICAGO. ILL.,. November 4.-The
Thanksgiving turkey crop of the Ma
ton is Is per. cent under what it
was last year and the prices are
generally higher. field observers for
the SearsRoebuck Agricultural Foun-
dation Index report. The bulk of
the Thanksgiving supply comes from
Texas and Southern fields, and the
report shows the Texas crop is short
80 per cent and the Western cotton
belt as a whole % per cent.
The birds for the holiday feasts
will not be as large and fat as a
year ago, due to the general drouth
in the Southwest and because of feed
crop failure in these poultry produc-
ing sections. The Pacific Coast States
report a crop 9S per cent of a year
ago.
Prices of turkeys last year av-
eraged 26.2 cents a pound. They
now average % cents. A great range
of prices is noted in different regions.

CHEAP RUSSIAN GRAIN
DEMORALIZES MARKETS

BUCHAREST, November R.-
The Rumanian grain export market is
in a demoralized state, and grain deal
ers say that this is due to the per-
sistence Of Russian grain offers in
the European markets at low prices.
1t Is stated that the shipment of
barley from Russian ports last week
exceeded 100 900 tons.
With Winter about to close the

FINE BUSINESS SEEN.
WELL INTO 1926.
Steel Trade Barometer
Shows High Levels Are
Likely to Continue.
BY j. G. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November 4.-The
position Of steel, the most widely con-
suited barometer Of American busi-
ness, indicates today that general
business activity will be maintained at
a record breaking level we'll into 1926.
Steel production in the Pittsburgh
district, which has averaged around
creased this week.
The Carnegie Steel Co. has topped
II per cent; Jones & Laughlin, leading
independents, are running at IS. Pro-
duction of sheet mills in that district
is approaching SO per cent, tin plate
mills are operating at so to 80 and
wire and pipe plants are well above
the 70 per cent mark.
Steel Prices Steady.
Prices in nearly all lines are firm
Rivets have advanced 81 per ton, and
cold rolled strips So a ton at Pitts
burgh. The high price of tin, which
is lowering around the high-water
mark for the year, has caused con
siderable talk of higher tin-plate
prices. but best judges assert that the
$3.50 figure is likely to remain un-
changed.
The bright prospects of the canning
industry are indicated by the fact that
the orders placed by leading can com
panies with producers of tin plate
show they expect to do even larger
business than in 1925. The American
Sheet and Tin Plate Co. is already as
sured of practically capacity operation
for the first half of 1926.
Rail Traffic Holds Up.
The railroads are preparing TO con-
tinue to handle a record volume of
freight. This is shown by orders
which have already began to come
into rail rollers from the larger class
l roads. The steel market has not
yet begun to reflect the demand for
car equipment materials, but the car
orders are being placed, and their ef-
feet will not be long delayed.
The strong position Of the agricul-
tural industry is revealed by active
buying of steel by farm equipment
manufacturers. whose orders are be
ing placed with increasing liberality
The demand for steel for automobile
manufacture and for auto accessories
can be safely taken to reflect a deter
mination on the part of motor car
producers not to allow production
schedules to fall off materially. The
sitive to this trend, as are automobile
sheets.

ASKS ARREST Of 6
IN SMALLPOX CASE
Health Officer Seeks War.
rants When Exposed Re-
fuse Vaccination.

Health Officer william c. Fowler to-
sons living at 1349 l. street north
west, who, the health officer declares,
have refused to be vaccinated follow
ing discovery of a case of smallpox in
the house several days ago.
The first floor of the building is oc-
cupied by the Chiropractic Research
University, which was placed under
quarantine yesterday by DR.. John T
Sprague of the health office, when he
placed a smallpox card outside the
door.
Dr. Fowler asked Assistant Corpor-
alton Counsel Thomas at Police Court
for the warrants under the following
section of an act of Congress:
That every person in said District
having been exposed to the infection
of smallpox Gncluding varioloid)
shall be at once successfully vacci-
mated or vaccinated sufficient num-
ber of times to make 1t evident that
successful vaccination is impossible.
Wants Police to Act.
The health officer said that If the
warrants are issued he Will ask that
mel eHD6T OIL lne follCe
serve them. after which he will send
Health Department inspectors to ac-
company the occupants who decline
to be vaccinated to the District quar-
antine station for the period of is
days.
A Young woman student of the
Chiropractic Research University was
sent to the Health Department this
morning by officials of the Treasury
Department. where she is employed,
but she explained to DR.. Fowler that
she had had smallpox in her home
State before coming to Washington
and theefore was not required to be
vaccinated.
The case which caused the health
office to quarantine the chiropractic
university was that of Mrs. Har-
riet Stackhouse, 81 years old, who
lived on the second floor of the L
street address. She was taken to the
Smallpox Hospital, where there are
also three other patients at this time.
DIR. Fowler stated this morning tina.
he went personally to the house yes
terday and interviewed four of the
persons quarantined there with re-
gard to being vaccinated, and he
said they declined.
The cases of smallpox that have oc-
CURED in Washington since Janu-
ary / have been of a malignant form,
DR.. Fowler pointed out. Four of the
patients have died.
Although there are only four cases
of the disease under treatment at this
time, Dr. Fowler last week advised
persons who have not been vaccinated
in recent years to do so as a precau-
ton. Since that time large number
have applied to the health office for
incubation.

iS
House conferees or the House Itself
will hold out against any of the Sem

that the lump sum contribution shall
not exceed 100000, figuring that
whatever appropriations may be pro-

tirely out of the revenues of the Dis

reason for objecting to any public
improvement within reason that the
people of the District desire and that
the District officials say is needed.
