Non-payment troubles of El Cen

police court this morning when

urbing the peace.

week after q battle royal in the
Moose Hall, where the walkathon
is in progress, which included con-
testants, spectators and promoters,
and which took the attention of a
police flying squad for several
minutes before it was quieted.
All testified today the trouble
seemed to be the tendency of a
group to gain admittance to the
hall without paying the required
fee, and their objections TO eviction
after once they were IN.
Robert d. Marrow, l9, the door
keeper, testified the fight started
as result of his effort to evict
Leon Wilson, l9. Wilson told prac-
tically the same story, as did Ray

The qucsi-Federal agency has more
than enough gold to back up the cur
rcncy while an integral part of the Gov
ernment-the Treasury-today is bor-
rowing $3.50 900 600 for relief and other
financial needs.
The Federal Reserve Systems month
II report for June shows participating
banks held $942 100000 over the legal
requirements for reserves against de-
posts and currency. And the Treasury
to-day offers for sale $650,000,000 in
notes.
Refunding Takes 1927, 1851, 900.
or the $3.50, 900, 900 total, 1927 631 900
will be used to refund Indebtedness
The rest will provide relief funds and
ether money to run the Government
fer the time being.
Much of the new money will go to the
Teconstruction Finance Corporation,
which has not yet gotten the S1,800,-
100000 authorized for it bv the S2122,-
600 900 relief act. Loans from this ad
ditional fund, including the S30O,O0O,-
900 allocated to States for destitution
relief, will not. however. be made until
the corporation completes its policies
and makes surveys The corporation
has SO notified Governors of the 4S
States.
Then. too, full speed in the relief
drive awaits completion of the corpora
tion's directorate. President Hoover this
week must find two men for the board.
Interest Rates Low.
The Treasury's new note issue will
carry low interest rates. One series for
S325, ,OOO, 900 to run two years will bear
2la per cent; the other for an Identical
amount will run four years and bring
314 per cent.
The Reserve Boards monthly review
saws that in May and June, $425,OoO,-
600 of the country's huge monetary
gold stock was withdrawn and that by
the middle of the latter month the re-
manning balances held in this country
bv foreign central banks was compare
tively small Toward the end OF June,
it adds, there was an increase In gold
stocks.
Consequently, on June 90 the Reserve
banks had reserves of S2,782, ,OOO,O 600.
Against deposits, $738,000,000 was re-
ouired and S1,102 100000 was needed
for the currency reserve, leaving the

Grain Market
CHICAGO, October 18.-Grain prices
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 18-Grain prices
displayed firmness early today, in
fluenced by comparative strength of Sc
curities and cotton Corn bulls con-
tended that cereal was on better basis
for investment than any other of the
major agricultural products.
Opening at Is off to Il up, wheat
later hardened little more. Corn
started at shade to Is advance and
afterward held near the initial range.
A sharp falling off in arrivals of
wheat at Minneapolis attracted notice,
today's receipts there amounting to only
rs cars, against 302 a week ago. Rain
or snow prevalent on both sides of the
Canadian border was regarded as likely
to diminish wheat movement from rural
sources, especially in Canada. Con-
tributing to f1rmness OF wheat values
was word that European grain au-
becoming an importer of wheat this
season instead of being an exporter.
Confirmation of further export busi-
buyers of future deliveries of feed
grains. Shipping sales of corn here ex-
ceeded the total purchases from rural
sources. 1t was pointed oht that with
present prices of corn approximately
the record low level of 1896 the use of
corn as fuel promised to be a decided
factor. Stress was also given to re-
ports showing corn production this sea-
son eastward from Illinois had been
materially below that of last year.
Provisions dropped because Of moder-
ate selling that met with only thin
demand.

BALTIMORE. October 18-More
than S51 100000 in stocks. bonds and
notes Of Central Public Service Corpora
ton and its subsidiaries have been
turned in by about 10000 investors for
exchange under the readjustment plan
for which the Baltimore Trust is de-
pository.
These securities have been exchanged
for those of Central Public Utility Cor
poration and Consolidated Electric &
Gas Co.. the two companies formed
under the plan to acquire the assets Of
the former Central Public Service Sys-
tenn.
The plan has been in public hands
only since August "a. SO that the rate
of exchange to date is considered highly
satisfactory by officials. A high per-
centage of certain of the issues involved
in the plan for exchange has been re-
ceived by the Baltimore Trust Co.,
which is issuing the new certificates.
The plan of readjustment became ef-
fective August l and resulted in an ad-
dition of many millions of dollars to the
value of the securities affected because
of the strengthened position of these
issues under its provision.

amounted to $500, 1878, 900.
Due to Cotton Shipping.
A gain of so 900 900 in exports dur
ing the 30-day period, department Off

of the selling bore the appearance OF
genuine liquidation and there was noth-

Outside the stock market the most
important incident of the day was the

One gratifying feature for exporters
is the fact that American prices gradu-

rise in the market at the end of last

Over the week end it was announced
that he would discuss this topic, prob,
ably at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and
that his treatment of it would be salts

would dispose of an influence that has
tended to restrain some investment buy

the prospect of clearing up this de-
batable subject has so far had more
