AFTER EARLY DROP
Good Glass of Buying Develops on

of a Rally Occurs.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 23.-With unof-
fetal Canadian crop reports today
turning out to be less bullish than had
been looked for, wheat prices here dis
played an early downward trend. A
good class of buying, however, de-
veloped on the setbacks, and helped

and then rallied somewhat. Corn and
oats We're easy, corn starting un-
changed to Is down. and later Sagging
all around. Provisions went higher.
On recoveries from initial declines
today May wheat crossed above Sl.30
and touched the highest price level
Yet this season. Best available com
ment here on the latest Canadian crop

expected. Damage indicated by

PAYMENT IN ADVANCE
FOR PHONE QUESTIONED
Matter Brought Before Public
Service Body in Baltimore by
Resident of Mount Rainier.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, October 23.--The
question as to whether the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Co. of Balti
more has q right to charge for telc-
phone service in advance has been
brought to the attention of the public
service commission by Shelvy Smith
o: 1925 Thirty-fourth street, Mount
Rainier, who has entered a protest
against this practice.
In his letter of protest Mr.. Shelby
said: 1T has been the practice of this
company if such bill. rendered in ad-
vance. was not paid by about the mid
die of the month. to send a notice to
the subscriber courtesously inviting
attention to that fact.
"It has been the further practice
Of this company if the bill was not
paid within a day or two of the end
of the month, to send another notice
explaining that on the last day of the
month the service would he subject 10
suspension.
THE undersigned is I'm receipt OF
the inCloSed notice of this company
dated October IS. Inquiry develops 1t
to be a bill for October service, which
service will not be completed until Oc-
tober 81.
IL am writing to inquiry if your
commission has authorized the Chesa
peake and Potomac Telephone Co. of
Baltimore in any case to suspend
service of subscriber for failure 10
pay for such service in advance"

STOCKS IRREGULAR;
TREND IS HIGHER
Short Covering Prompted by
! Brisk Rally Just Before
4 Closing Yesterday.

NEW YORK, October 23.-On the
reduced volume of business. the mar
lta. today disclosed no general ten
dency one way or the other. Some
stocks were higher, with a few quite
notable advances. Other stocks were
lower. On the whole, the market did
better, showing a steadler undertone
and greater resistance to professional
selling.
The professional element was not
inclined to GO any further with the
short side Rather il seemed to he
trying to reduce its short commit
ments. General Motors went down at
flewstart, but later rallied. United
States Steel was higher most of the
time The main part of the list took
its cue from the action of these two
leaders. Local traction shares We're
a. feature, especially lnterborouSh
Rapid Transit, which at one stage
was up over points. The Street
took the decision of the Court of Ap-
peals, denying a referendum on the
s-cent fare, as favorable from the
standpoint of those who are aSltatlnS
for higher rate.
Studebaker went down from 1925 to
49 then more than recovered its loss.
No further selling appeared in ChryS-
Ter; on the contrary, 1t was SAID ttal
new interests had been buying i'll the
stock. Dodge Brothers A. vas up
nearly q point. Profittaking in Tim
ken Roller Bearing carried the stock
Gown sharply.
Among the industrial specialties
Lambert & Co. shares were a feature
with a further jump of over 1 points
or SO. Radio Corporation came down
"A point and Pullman "a point and a
half. On the other hand, Woolworth
and Allied Chemical were bid up and
l.. s. Industrial Alcohol, which had
risen over 6L points on the previous
day. continued to gain. The stock
had closed last night at ~; it sold
at so this morning and subsequently
receded IL bit. The company is re-
ported to have paid off all its bank
loans and to be in a position to re-
commence dividends at the rate of Sc.
Railway shares were not as promi-
nent. Atchison was lower most of the
time. Norfolk and Western was
steady. The rails, as n group, did COM
paratively little. The same was true
of the coppers, most of the transac-
tions in kennecott occurring at Co,
which was yesterdays closing figure.
Texas Co. was up a fraction and so
was Standard of New Jersey. There
was no trade news of any conse-
t,uence. The market was simply feel
ing it's way to see whether the liquida-
zion of the first two weeks of the
month had finally run it's course. On
this subject ser timent was more cheer
ful.

1t is announced that the SO, 900, 900
issue of 10-year per cent mortgage
gold bonds soon to be put out by the
Washington Gas Light Co., will be
sold through the local banks, some 40
of which will handle them.
The company is not yet ready to an
nounce the price at which the new
bonds will be sold, but bankers expect
a figure that will make the yield so at
tractive that the issue will be largely
oversubscribed. Officials of the com
pany also anticipate over3uEscrlntlon.
The new issue was approve" by the

"In reviewing the operation of both
