substantial progress has been made
in organizing thc> force, an additional
500 miles of coast line have been Gov

boundary to coordinate activities.
Seizures valued at $946,000 We're mad~

There were 3S1 snugglers arrested and

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2G QP)-Wheat values
went higher today chiefly on account
Of heavy storm damage in Argentina
and because of liberal export buying
of wheat from North America. Closing
quotations on wheat were firm at | to
1h cent advance, with corn h@A to
IS cent up, oats Il to Il cent higher
and provisions unchanged to a rise Of
25 cents.
Wheat finished at about the days
top figures, recovering from earlier
transient setbaclSs that resulted from
cable messages indicating a return of
clear weather over northern Argentina.
The fact that domestic receipts We're
scanty in all directions tended to en-
phasize the late movement of prices,
and so likewise did continued atten-
tion to rise in prices from Argen-
tina. 1t was pointed out that higher
freight charges from Argentina would
mean curtailed competition with wheat
from North America. Future delivery
offerings in the wheat pit here became
notably scarce as the day drew to an
end. Besides, considerable evidence of
investment demand was showing itself,
especially after word went around that
damaging rains in big producing areas
Of Argentina had been confirmed and
that delay to harvesting was expected
as we'll as depreciation in quality or
wheat and to probable loss in quantity.
Australian crop reports, too, were less
optimistic than has been the rule Of
late.
With corn belt weather unfavorable
and huslling returns below expectation
corn prices were Independently firm.

AS is usual at this time of year.
seasonal factors are having contrast
ing effects on commercial conditions.
Inventorying largely divert attention
from other operations in some whole
sale circles, but lower temperatures in
diffeent localities have given an inn
petus to retail trade and holiday de-
mands are an added stimulus to ac-
tivities in that quarter. 1t is the COM
mon expectation that such business
will attain very large proportions, and
in not a few instances a record volume
is looked for If not providing new
feature, weekly returns of railroad
freight traffic nevertheless testify to
the continued notably heavy, low of
goods though distributing channels,
all previous totals of carloadings for
this period being surpassed. Against
this sconspicuously favorable statistical
exhibit there are the lesses in bank
clearings at various centers, especially
in the south.

ment in today's stock market The
rallY took place in the face of a
marking up of call money rates from
~ to 5 per cent, coincident with the
calling of about $30,O00,O0O in loans,
which reflected the heavy withdrawal
of funds in connection with midmonth
settlements.
The weekly mercantile reviews re-
ported little change in the general
business situation, with wholesale
trade rather quiet because of the ap-
proach of the inventory season and re-
tail trade showing signs of increased
activity in anticipation of the holiday
season. Bank, clearings were again
below the corresponding week last
year.
In the stock market, the trading
appeared to be largely of profess
sional character with several powerful
"bull' pools again active in a number
of specialties Commission houses re-
ported little public participation, al
though the volume of trading was
fairly heavy for holiday week ses-
sion.
Baldwin resumed the leadership of
the advance in the active industrials
by jumping seven points to 159. the
highest price ever recorded and nearly
three points above the previous record
peak established in 1919. Texas Pa

for a net gain of nearly three points
on the day, but General Motors inn
proved only fractionally, probably on
a renewal of rumors that the Ford i'm
terests were planning to bring out six

This course they pursue for one month,

According to Dr. Mathewson this
course will teach the practical mining

head of one department of a large COM

entire plant and fit him for a more
position. Through intensive
study this group Of hand picked men

of the state have seen the value of the
plan, and are now. making plans to
enter their employees in the course
year, it is said.
This is the first year that such
course has been offered at Arizona, and
is the only one of it's kind among the
mining colleges of the world. The evi'

the hearty endorsement Of both prac-
tical mining men the nation over and
of educators who are watching with
interest the return of experienced men
to college campus.
