While engaged In propaganda to dis
parage public ownership. the commits
sion said, 'the utilities pursued their
ultimate objective Of creating q halo
around all their practices. including
financing"
Additional super-holding compan-
les were also created which issued Sc
curities almost without limit" the re-
port said, "often with little or no re-
gard for the underlying soundness of
or necessity for such issues-in q field
devoted to public use, and supposedly
regulated as local monopolies.

from Texas.
Potatoes were In moderate supply
and sold at slight advance in price
in city markets. Prices at some ship
ping points were slightly stronger.
Sweet potatoes continued firm and
prices have strengthened gradually
during November. The market for
New Jersey sweet potatoes Is en-
couraging in contrast with the inac-
tive trade and rather low prices q
year ago.
Onion prices held about steady
after recent gains. New York yellow
varieties sold at 81 to SIPS per so
pounds in city markets. Cabbage ad-
vanced a little in New York produc-
ing sections and in a few Eastern mar
kets. New Jersey Big Boston lettuce
sold about steady at 75c to 81 per
crate Of two dozen heads In New York.
Western New York celery brought
$1.40 to So per two-thirds crate in
city markets. Prices in New York
producing sections also were film.
Apple markets tended slightly up
ward. Greetings and Baldwins were
selling at SIPS to $1.50 per bushel in
New York, and Chicago also quoted
SIPS to $1.50 on these varieties from
Michigan.
Grain Market Firm.
Some injury to the Winter wheat
crop and a more active demand for
the lessening supplies Of feed grains
helped maintain a firm position in
domestic grain markets in mid
November. Weakness in foreign
wheat markets tended to offset the. in
fluence of unfavorable crop prospects
in the United States, but durum wheat
advanced about Az cents a bushel.
Corn gained 3 to 4 cents as a result
Of continued active demand from
feeders and industries for the small
available supplies. Oats and barley
strengthened with corn, but demand
was only moderate and price gains
were small. Additional buying Of
foreign oats tended to hold prices
near recent levels. Flaxseed markets
strengthened with prospect of small
supplies during the rest of the season.
Continued dryness in important grain
growing States strengthened the do
mestic wheat market position.
Feed Market Strong.
Wheat millfeeds were so cents to
81 per ton higher at leading markets.
Production of wheatfeeds fell off
compared with recent weeks. Mid
dlings and reddog were in more active
demand than bran since these feeds
were being substituted for corn in
some of the drought areas. Linseed
meal maintained the previous ad-
vance at Buffalo and other Eastern
points. Cottonseed meal remained
firm in price and there were some ad-
vances of so cents to 81 in leading
markets. A feature this year has been
the imports Of cake and meal from
Mexico and Japan.

SMOKING PIPE, POWDER CAN,
GOALS DROP, TROUBLE BEGAN

Blue Earth.-A can of blasting
powder, a lighted pipe and the flick
of little girls flying coat combined
last week to cause a blast in which
two men and a child escaped without
serious injury near Bricelyn. Return
ing from a trip to the village for
blasting powder, little Betty Flo sat
on the lap of Webb Salley beside her
father, julius Flo, who was driving,
with the can of blasting powder sit
ting on the floor of the car between
their feet. When they arrived at the
Flo farm, Betty opened the door and
moved to get out. Her coat tipped the
pipe from Salley's hand and the to-
bacco Goals dropped into the powder.
The resultant blast caught Flo and
Salley squarely in the face, burning
the child slightly.
