Susan Ertz in THE Galaxy her
latest novel, fashions an interesting
narrative out Of q negligible plot and
a theme devoted mainly to the essen
tional life Of an English woman Of
the late Victorian age. The story Is
rather sordid but made plausible by
the intimate knowledge which the au-
thor manifests Of British life in those
times.
1t is a history Of Laura Deverall
raised by typical Victorian parents in
q bigotcd age. She and her brother
James had none Of the freedom to
which the youth Of the time were be-
ginning to feel they had inherent
right.
AS they grew up they felt that the
sooner they could escape the influ-
ence of their narrow-minded father
the better, with the result that Laura
eventually married at the earliest op-
portunity and James left home In
spite of inherited poor health and no
money.
Laura later fell in love with an
other man. This led to an impasse
about which the story is chiefly con-
cerned. The author cleverly portrays
the influence Of people and events
upon Laura and in the end Laura
looks upon her life as q galaxy Of
scenes and faces and delights"
The author does not write in q par
ticularly distinguished manner but
she does known how to tell a story,
With q certain dizziness she misses
being melodramatic at times by in
jecting into the theme references ia
the political e~xigencies Of England, or,
happenings Of the day, which, because
Of their national importance, are Of
interest to the reader.

The book is really more valuable
for its insight into the life Of the
times than for lot or narrative sig
~nificance.

Periodically B. M. Bower brings out
a new novel. Her books being of the
light fiction class do not pretend at
any time to be at all profound or
drably realistic and so are nearly al
ways of interest.
Fools Goal" Is not exception. It is
an entertaining account Of a rich
young Chicagoan. who becomes tired
Of the city and decides to 60 out west
and buy q ranch. He determines to
carry his ready cash with him. some
fifty Thousand dollars, drawing the
conclusion that since no one could
possibly know he was carrying that
sum around with him there could be
no danger. But someone evidently
found out about It for when he ar
rived in wyoming he found himself
engaged in a series Of hold-ups very
mysteriously perpetuated. In each
case the thieves were baffled and
failed to find the money. Thereupon
lies the mystery.
It Is finally solved by the young
Chicagoan in the end with the aid Of
a fair lady Of the wide open spaces.
and the reason made clear why the
son of the Windy City carried the
money with him instead of putting it
in a bank. The sentiment, of the
story is logically carried out In typi-
cal Boweresque style.

FARM PRICE LEVEL
LOWEST SINCE 1916
Department Of Agriculture Reveals
Extent Of Decline From
Year Ago.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
| The lowest October level of farm
prices since 1915 was reported yester-
day by the Department OF Agriculture
in making known q 5-point decline
from September Is to october Is to
put prices "a points below a year ago.
| The farm prices of virtually all COM
modities except hay, veal calves and
eggs declined. Hay prices are virtu-
ally unchanged, veal calves advanced
slightly and egg prices showed conSid-
| erably less than the usual seasonal adj
vance.
Fruits and vegetables moved down %
points: grain, Q; cotton and cotton
seed, Z; dairy products, up 2; poultry
and poultry products, up 4 points.
The average farm price Of hogs de-
| clined from S9.44 per hundredweight on
September is to 1919 on October Is.
| A year ago the price was 500. The
| lower prices were attributed principally
| to seasonal increase in supplies.
Farm prices of sheep declined sharp
ly and, at 1898 per hundredweight,
reached the lowest level recorded for
any october Is since 1911. The farm
price Of lambs continued to decline, but
remained slightly above the level of
| october, 1921. This decline was said
to be seasonal and attributable to sharp
increases in marketing.
A decline Of 10 per cent was noted In
corn prices, which were down IL to Is
per cent in the corn belt States and
from 5 to per cent elsewhere. Con-
tributing factors were decreased con-
sumption or the substitution of cheaper
feeds and a slight improvement in crop
prospects.
Indications of improvement in po-
tato crop prospects and a seasonal In
crease IN shipments accompanied a 10
per cent price decline. Prices paid pro-
ducers showed the greatest decline in
Northern and Western States, where
shipments Of the late crop neared the
seasons peak in areas of surplus pro-
| duction. In the Southern States farm
prices changed little. The average
price Of $1.o2 per bushel in mid october
was about So cents less than year
| ago.

The market started easier under

this week and price losses were recorded
as a consequence.
Today Liverpool closed SAY lower

NEW YORK, November 1.-The end

below normal in electrical equipment
markets throughout the country, Elec-
trical World reports. Prospects for i'm
provement, however, appear less remote
than they did so days ago. A strong
flow of inquiries in the Eastern terri
tory promises a substantial increase in
equipment bookings this month, Gre
ating a distinctly better market tone.
Increased confidence among Gus

FARM INCOME OFF
PCT. DURING YEAR
Decline in Returns Not Nearly as
Severe as in 1921-Price
Moves Encouraging.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November 1.-Agricul-
tural income for the current year, it
is estimated by the Standard Statistics
Co. in recent survey, will fall, roughly,
$4,000, 100000, or 19 per cent, under
that Of 1929 This forecast is based
largely on recent ofhcial crop reports,
giving effect only to the percentage of
the various crops actually marketed and
to prices prevailing during the market
ing season, wherever obtainable.
Although the indicated contraction
in farm income is large, it Is not nearly
as severe as the decline of almost So
500 100000 experienced in the 1921
major depression year. Neither does the
percentage recession approach the de-
crease of from 80 per cent to 35 per cent
in aggregate industrial profits for this
year.
Despite evidence that general business
has made ample allowance for the
| slump in agricultural returns, it Is APP
parent that the decline will operate as
an important obstacle to near term re-
covery, particularly in the retail trade
and agricultural machinery fields. Re-
| cent firmer tendency Of prices in most
agricultural markets, nevertheless, lends
| encouragement to belief that improv-
ment OF the position Of agriculture may
play an important role in bringing about
general business revival in 1881.

HEAD OF NEW YORK RESERVE
BANK PLANS PARLEYS ABROAD

be beneficial to the worlds finance, in
so far as they will lead to mutual un-
derstandings and views OF the problems
and conditions of different nations.
The last discussion between the head
of the Federal Reserve Bank here and
European central bankers took place on
the occasion of Mr.. HarriSon's visit to
Europe last February and March. Fol-
lowing those discussions, a vigorous easy
money policy was instituted in all the
leading markets OF the world.
When Mr.. Harrison left for Europe
in February the rediscount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York was
4 per cent, while the Bank of England's
rate was Az per cent and the Bank of
Frances rate was per cent. Follow
ing the meetings Of the central bankers
abroad, these rates were lowered until
the Federal Reserve Banks rate came
down to its present level of 212 per cent,
the Bank OF England's rate to 3 per
cent, its present level, and the Bank of
France rate to 2l2 per cent, where 1t
now stands.
It is understood that during the
course of these conferences the heads
of the various central banks agreed that
there was little they could do to assist
in the revival of business. beyond taking
steps to make credit available at low
interest costs to business.
