liquidation was in evidence throughout
the day, particularly in issues known
to be under pool sponsorship.
Outside news developments were dis
regarded for the time being as market
factors After the market closed the
directors of General Motors corpora
ton recommended a change in capl-
talization and an exchange OF stock
which, in effect, amounts to the dis
.tribution of a. 100 per cent stock qlvl-
dend. Although such action has been
rumored for some time the stock &C

points at 221, which was the low price
of the day.
Credit conditions continued easy.
Call money was again in plentiful sup
ply at 81 per cent and the shorter

below 4 per cent for the first time this

that is speculative trades in which
paper profits had been extensively us

5cppled over headlong when the wheat
market started to break. Another COM
plication that weakened the price

offset by an opposite transaction III
December contracts. Meanwhile, crop
damage reports from the northwest
covered a wider area than at any time
heretofore, and good export demand
for Canadian wheat was in evidence,
Europe taking upward OF 100000
bushels.
Although buying broadened out on
the downward swing Of wheat values,
the volume proved insufficient to
counteract the selling. The cash wheat
oasis, however, was unchanged, and
exporters here bought $4,000 bushels.
Besides, vessel room was chartered for
155,0O0 bushels of wheat to go from
Chicago to Montreal, and messages
were received saying ocean freight

Rio De Janerio Oct. 26tb. The 'Prin-
cipessa Mafalda", luxurious Italian liner
en- route from Genoa to this port and
Buenos Aires, f%oundered and sank last
night about, $50 miles southeast of Ba-
hia, presumably with a large less of life.
The liner carried / 900 passengers, many
of them immigrants 10 Argentina, and
while hundreds were rescued by the
heroic efforts of four ships. which an.
sWered the Mafalda's frantic wireless
calls for aid, it is believed many of the
steerage passengers went down with
the ship. 1t is known that 720 were
saved by the Frencl ship "Formosa".
The "Principessa Matalda" was a twin
screw liner with three decks and 9,210
tons gross register, owned by the Navi-
gaziOne Generate I|talianO of Genoa. Re-
ports received here by wireless from the
"FOrmosa" stated she had picked up 720
of the Mafalda's passengers ando that
she was cooperatig with other vessels
that rushed to the scene OF the disaster.

Goth, and returned to the capital.
Bucharest, Oct. 26th-Martial Law has
been declared throughout Rumania as
the result of the Governments dis
covery of a plot to bring about the re-
turn of Elk Crown Prince Carol. Premier
Bratiano will ask all opposition and Govt.
parties tomorrow to declare their atti-
tudes in the face of Prince Carols
aspirations. The plot was discovered in
letters IN the possession of NJ. ManOi-
lescu UnCer Secretary of Finance in the
late Averescu Cabinet who has been
arrested.
Cape Town, Oct. 6tb-According to
the final draft Of the agreement be-
, 1927-10-28

designated the Director of Prohibition of
these Islands as the officer charged with
the responsibility Of acting upon all orders
for Narcotic Drugs for use in the Virgin
Islands. Determined efforts have been
put forth to prevent the illegal entry of
liquor into these Islands. Considering
the extent of coast line, the many sources
whereby liquor may be smuggled into
these Islands from nearby foreign Is
lands, and the limited amount of equip
merit and personnel available for enforce
ment, the prohibition situation is most
satisfactory. Cases of intOXicati0n are
rare. There were but fifteen prosecutions
for violation of the National Prohibition
Act in Saint Thomas and Saint John and
thirteen in Saint Croix.
BAY RUM.
The Bay Rum industry appears to be in
a healthy condition. Four firms are en-
gagged in manufacturing Bay Rum.
While nearly all of the aIchohol used is
obtained from Porto Rico, during the past
year about five thousand gallons were
procured from Saint Croix and the United
States, Most of the Bay Oil is imported
from Porto Rico but recently the Saint
John producers have put forth efforts to
increase their production with good re-
suits.
Seventy four thousand two hundred
and seventy seven gallons of Bay Rum
were sold locally and exported during
the year, 60. 494 gallons exported and
13, 1888 sold locally. This shows a slight
decrease from the figures of previous
year, 1925-1926, when 50, 14S gallons
were sold and exported. However. it
is not believed that the National Prohi
bition Act has in the past, nor will in the
future. adversely affect the Bay Rum
industry in these Islands.
MANUFACTURE OF INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL.
The Industrial Alcohol plant in the
Island OF Saint CrOix, operated by the
Vlrqin Islands Products Corporation,
produced 1876, 427.13 proof gallons of al
cohol during the year. Of this LAT, -642,
o8 gallons were denatured while 1883.
10 gallons were sold pure. This bust
ness likewise appears to be in a healthy
condition.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
AS emphasized elsewhere in this re-
port, the prosperity once enjoyed by the
Virgin Islands centered, in the Munich
pality of Saint Thomas and Saint John
on the activities of the HaTbor of Saint
Thomas, and In the Municipality of Saint
Cr0ix, on the sugar cane industry.

The %tuberculin testing of cattle
east of the Muddy has been tenn
porarily halted due to cold weather
and bad roads, and Drs. Spain
and Burket have left for their
homes in Billings and Helena un-
til more favorable weather condi-
tons prevail.
Testing of the cattle east of.
the Muddy has been going for
ward rapidly the past six weeks
and there now remains but 21a
townships to be tested. DR.. Burk-
ct, who is in charge of the work,
states that they have found four
~reactors out of the 5000 head
which have been tested. This is
a very small percentage, however,
it is gratifying to know that the
area will soon be entirely free
from this type of tuberculosis. In
a number of instances the poultry
flocks have been investigated and
recommendations made for con
trolling tuberculosis among chick
ems.
AS soon as road conditions per-
nit the work will be continued.
Two or three weeks will suffice
