NEW YORK, october 29.-Advances

Prices in the industrial group aver
aged a little higher; those in the fine
group a trife lower Business in gen.

"Advances-none of them substan-

bleaching powder in less than car lots,
red arsenic. lime-sulphur solution,
amylene. diamylene. diamyl ether,
carbinel and hoof meal. Small reduc-
tions were made in prices on tertiary

number of prices for heavy and fine
chemicals was unchanged at 1856
compared with August l, 1914, as
1000. In comparison with average
prices in 1926 Gas 1000, the Reporters
index number is now $50, against

ner-up was James Lecky Of Phoenix,
Ariz., who dropped two games.
Allen had close calls with Cyril
Jackson, whom he trimmed so to 40,

champion. whom he beat, so to 40.
