4 to ID points with the active months
showing net gains Of 8 to Is points

rains in the Eastern belt and unfavor-
able crop advices. The market met in
creased offerings around 1890 for De-
cember however, and prices eased after
the early demand had been supplied.
with some Southern selling as well as
realizing in evidence. while there may
have been a. little further selling on dis
appointment 'over the failure of efforts
to settle the New Bedford mill strike.
December essed off to 1918, or within
a point of yesterdays closing quotation.
but the volume of the business tapered
off and the market showed fairly
steady tone at the end of the first half
hour ,ste.
Selling became a little more active
later in the morning. pirate reports
showing reduction in crop prospects
for the month. and considerable dill
ference of opinion as to the actual yield
failed to inspire more active buying.
December eascd of to 1904 and March

IA points, ana the market at midday
was within 2 or points Of these fig
ures. Three of the private crop re-
ports were issued during the morning

IN EARLY TRADING

Wheat Irregular.

b. the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 2.-Unoficial crop
reports issued here today pointed to a
somewhat smaller corn yield this season
than was indicated a month ego.
Domestic Spring wheat estimates were
slightly larger. On the whole, the re-
ports coincided with general expecta-
tions. Starting at "a to 81 advance,
corn later showed further gains. Wheat
opened unchanged to q up, rose little
more and then reacted Oats were firm.
Provisions elso inclined upward.
Curtailment of : about 100.000,000
bushels in the estimated 1928 production
Of corn. rs reported today by leading
authorities and as compared with a
month ago, led TO. fair buying on. the
part Of commission houses, and brought
about advances in price. One of the
principal reports figured the probable
condition of corn at the time of matur-
ity at 77.8. per cent with an indicated
yield of 1920 900 900 bushels. This re-
port said ears average only moderate in
size, leaving the final crop materially
below earlier prospects based upon more
or less heavy stands. t. +@
Another widely known crop expert
said that owing to early maturity OF this
seasons corn crop and on account OF
shortage of old corn. feeding of the new
crop has started earlier and heavier
than usual Because Of this situation.
q larger percentage Of corn than usual
promises to be consumed by Noyeni-
Der /. Largest estimates given of corn

CpeClhl W Hc CbdA'
NEW YORK. October 2.-Reiection
by the workers Of the compromise
agreement which would have ended
the long continued strike at the New
Bedford textile mills, announced today,
probably will prevent the American
cotton manufacturers from making full
use Of their present advantage over
their English competitors The work.
ers refused to accept wage reduction
of per cent from the level In effect
when the strike started IS weeks ago.
The most strenuous measures are
being takcf, by the Master Cotton Spin
ners' Federation in England to induce
their members to curtail production In
the American section of the yarn-spin-
ming trade. 1t is proposed that they
accomplish this by closing their mills
for periods equivalent to two working
weeks before october 81. The diff
Guilty encountered In reaching an agree
ment to such curtailment lies in the
fact that some mills are doing we'll.
while others are complaining that un-
restricted production is causing them
heavy losses.
General Restriction Doubtful.
II Is l. a ECAlCldA 1cnCLlItAOiA
will result. The better run and better
equipped mills of the Manchester. Eng
land. district are not complaining loud
" Of conditions. The district undoubt-
edly is overmilled, but experts declare
that the real difflculty of many Man
chester plants lies in curtailment of
production instead of development of
additional markets.
Cost of production has not been re-
duced, despite low wages and the lop-
ping off Of extra employees. The morale
Of the workers In the less successful
mills. according to reliable British
sources Of information. is not good.
These experts say 1t cannot be good
when the workers are never sure from
one day to the next when they will
be laid off or have their wages subject
ed to another cut. Moreover. the lack
Of worker efficiency has not been made
up for by introduction of new and i'm
proved machinery.
Some lines of the English cotton in
dustry, however are doing we'll and
not a few of the individual mills are
paying regular and fairly high divi-
dends.
u. S. Condition Similar.
Much the same conditions are no.
ticeable In this country But the Amer
lean mills at the moment undoubtedly
have an advantage in world markets,
although their wage scales are higher
than those across the Atlantic. This is
specially true Of the Southern mills,
where the morale among the workers
Is high and employment far more
steady than In New England.

The little houses. sharply black in the chilly light, seemed to huddle together as if they were try ing to keep warm. Beyond them the wooden mill rose like the great dark shoulder of a hill.
 But just as she started up the street. lights flashed out from its three rows of windows, showing it unmistakably for the thing it was: not a hill, but factory. Emmy never knew which she was more ashamed of-the wooden mill. or Flower street itself. She knew that she hated both of them. The very sight of them made her heart sink lately whenever she rounded the corner from Cedar avenue.
 It sank now as her eyes went from the windows of the mill to the little jerry-built houses. The Brainards'. with it's BOARD BY WEEK. DAY OR MEAL sign in the front window.

Anybody else would have turned you all out into the street, bag and baggage, years ago. Years ago." The flat of her hand came down smartly upon the arm of the chair.

She called the whole thing q tre- mendous joke. tragic ,one, which carries with it death to thousands of men, women and children every year.
 T am not against temperance. but l am against universal hypocri- cy. The whole thing is joke. Those who condemn liquor as curse to the nation and tell you that repeating of the eighteenth amend ment would mean terrible condi- tions in the country. are the first to invite you after their wonderful or atory about prohibition to sip Of some 'pre-war stuff after the meet ing. Every well-to-do person has a goodly quantity of spirits and laughs at the amendment. but it is the poor man who is suffering the consequences and It is in his ranks that most deaths occur through drinking poisonous liquor. Cover nor Smith does not promise to re- peal the amendment, but he believes that every state is entitled to ex- press its rights about this question. and he promises that if it is the will of the people of this country 10 have beer and light wines, they shall have it. On the other hand if the nation expresses it's wish to support the amendment, he will do everything in his power to enforce the law. Mir. Hoover can do no more than MT. Coolidge hac done
