New York, Oct 26-(UP)-The stock market today gave an apath- etic reception to the declaration of the regular preferred dividend by the United States steel Corporation.
 A bit of short covering sent the market up at the opening and at the close. It closed higher. Between the two rallies trading settled back in the rut of recent sessions.
 Offsetting the bullish effect of the steel dividend were such items as a crash to new lows for the season in all grains, lower bonds, and a break to a new low for the year in the pound sterling. December wheat at Chicago made a new low in the 71-year history of the board of trade, while at Winnipeg it made a new 27-year low. Cotton held well, but silver, influenced by the drop in sterling, made a new low or the movement.
 Bonds rallied late in the day when the stock market firmed~ up on short covering. Wheat also ral- lied from the lows to close with fraction losses. while corn substi-

 Gold mining shares came into prominence late in the day. featured by homestake mining which made a new high for the year at 132 1-2 up 1-2 points. Small gains were noted in Alaska Juneau, and Dome Mines.
 American Telephone which came within 1-8 of touching par, rose above 1O2 for a small gain. Other utilities followed and made frac- tional advances. Railroad shares moved up easily near the close aft CT early irregularity.
 Railroad shares had the best of the news. Of the first 34 to report earnings for September, only 1 had a net operating deficit, while 17 showed improvement over 1881, The aggregate net operating in- come of the group was almost double that of August and only 10 per cent under September, 1881. A long list of carriers reported in- creased car loadings for the week ended October 22, mad predictions were made that weekly 1oadings report for al roads would show an- other contra seasonal increase Sat- urday.
 Steel news was less cheerful. The iron age production rate down h at 9per cent of capacity.
 Electricity production was up sharply for the week of October. 22, but the gain was ascribed mostly to indictment weather which necessitated greater use of current for lighting. oil statistics were less favorable. Several sections of the country reported increases in em- ployment.
 Easy money bought good buying into United States government bonds. Call money held at the begged rate of 1 per cent, while time funds declined to new lows at # of l per cent for maturities up to 60 days.

Farmers of the state appreciate
the danger which lies in the pro-
posed tax exemption bills, realiz-
ing that as producers and indus
trialists in the strict sense of the
word, these measures will tend 20
life their taxes and force the rural
districts to pay taxes upon homes
of the city residents of the state.
In broad sense the farmer as
a general rule value their land,
which represents their homes as
well as invested capital, at great
deal more than the average city
home owner whose house and lot
does not represent capital invest
ment. This latter is borne by his
employer. However ,on the farms
the home is the factory and under
the proposed initiative sponsored
by Seattle and Tacoma interests,
it would pay the extra taxes nec-
esary to make good the loss from
the city tax exempt home.

The Democrats of the state have
had hard luck this spring. just
as the campaign started to get
fairly warm, A. Scott Bullitt, the
angel of the party was taken SER
iously i'll and died.
Mr.. Bullitt in some ways has
done more for the party than any
other individual in the state. He
would have been the greatest lead
er of the party but for foolish po-
litical advice four years ago when
after defeat for the United
States Senate he demanded the
nomination for governor and went
down a second time.
One of the sections in the state
where some fun can be expected
this fall is down in Skamania and
Klickitat counties. Under the re-
districting measure Franklin and
Benton counties were thrown in
with these two Columbia river
units. The four counties have one
senator now. Formerly they had
two Columbia River units. The four
counties have one senator now.
Formerly they had two, Charles
Stinson of Pasco and George
Christensen of Skamania.
This year these two old guards
will fight it out.
Incidentally the legislative House
fight should be interesting.
Senator Dan Landon of King
county, one of the sponsors of the
bill, saw to it that he was undis-
turbed in his district. So Dan is
one of the few followers this year.
His district, however, is somewhat
cut up in order to keep him where
he wanted to live.
No matter where Landon would
have moved North of the Ship
canal in King county he would still
be in his former district and would
