FARRELL SCORES
ATTACKS ON AAA

Washington farmers were warned
against giving credence to attacks on
the program Of the agricultural adj
justment administration from outside
interests In an address by George E.
Farrell, chief Of the AAA wheat Sec
ton, Washington, DO, before a ses-
sion of the fourth annual Farmers
and Homemakers' Week, conducted by
the state college, December 3, 4 and s.
I'VE hear whispers Of take 1t the
easy way and discard control meth
DDS with a promise Of you produce
and we'll sell but the willy farmer be-
plies you find the market and we'll
produce" said Mr.. Farrell. "You can't
do 1t the easy way II you hope to
do 1t soundly. It takes long, hard work
and we are making progress"
Mr.. Farrell discussed at length UNI
restricted production and foreign mar
ket consumption and declared he
wished 1t could be worked but said
that every effort was made last year
but I'VE haven't been able to rustic up
much world trade.
"It's not question Of how much
can we grow but how much can we
SELL" he continued. when we want to
sell something abroad we must be
prepared to take something back. We
must break down some Of the barriers
between nations and take commodities
in return for commodities We've tried
their IO.U's, bonds and the rest.
"a total of $4,000 wheat contracts
represents 81 per cent of all wheat
acreage in the United States or ST.
OO0, 600 out of 100000 acres. With the
aid of two dry years, the wheat sur
p],l; has been cut from 100000 BUSH
els in 1888 to an estimated $4,000, 900
by next July-and we need not fear
running short of bread.
"The outlook for 1885 is good but
not so good that the fellow outside Of
the program will make more money
than the fellow in it" said Mr.. Farrell
in conclusion.

Ticker Tape Is MotionIess
as Traders Stay on
SideIines.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, October 29.-Dullness
gripped the share market today and,
except for a few specialties, prices
ruled narrow. Transfers which ap-
proximated only $4,000 shares, were
the smallest in nearly month. Allied
Chemical, Jewel Tea and Universal
Leaf Tobacco were scattered firm
spots. Pivotal issues like United
States Steel, American Telephone.
Santa Fe, General Motors and Con-
solidated Gas were about even.
The ticker tape was motionless for
minutes at a time. The public ap-
parently had little taste for equity
speculation, and the few usually ac-
tive operators stood aside to watch for
signs and portents.
Most commodities were apathetic.
Grains held to restricted groove, but
cotton improved moderately Bonds
were exceptionally quiet and slightly
irregular. The dollar at the same
time moved somewhat higher in terms
of leading foreign exchanges.
There were a few share gamers of
around a point or so. Among these
were Universal Leaf Tobacco, Amer
ican Tobacco B, Reynolds Metals, In
gerSoll-Rand and Standard Oil of
California. Some of the alcohols, in
cluding National Distillers and Schen-
ley, were a bit higher, as were Safe
way Stores, Union Oil of California,
Union Pacific, Loew's, Johns Manville
and Gillette. The recently depressed
Baldwin Locomotive preferred got
back nearly a point. Reynolds To-
bacco B lost as much, and such issues
as United States Steel, American Tele-
phone, Consolidated Gas, Montgomery
Ward, American Can, Westinghouse,
du Pont, Santa Fe and Bethlehem
Steel were virtually unchanged. Kroger
Grocery and Jewel Tea we're a trifie
easier.
The various chain store stocks did
not appear to be particularly dis
turbed by the labor troubles encount-
cred by the Great Atlantic & Pacific
organization, although it was realized
that sales might be seriously affected
If the controversy with the unions
should spread.
Third-quarter earnings statements
Of important corporations, most Of
which have been far from optimistic,
continued to be the principal fly in
the market ointment.
There was much conjecture as to
what would transpire at the meeting
of the U. S. Steel directors tomorrow.
Although the quarterly report Of big
Steel" was expected to disclose a size
able deficit, in view of the sharply
reduced operating rate of the industry
during the period, the belief Of most
observers was that the 50-cent pay
ment on the preferred would be con-
tinued.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 29. - Sharp
breaks in Chicago wheat prices late
today resulted from dispatches saying
Prime Minister Bennett of Canada had
decided on restriction and control of
speculative operations on the Winnipeg
Grain Exchange.
The Chicago wheat market under
went a tumble of about 2 cents a
bushel, falling to new low price rec
ord for the season. Chicago holders
of wheat future sold freely on the
way down.
Reports Of appearance Of yellow
rust in Argentine and flrmness in the
Liverpool market resulted in early
scattered buying, but later trading
generally was at slow pace.
Action of the Buenos Aires and Liv-
erpool markets in later trading was
disappointing to traders, although
general inclination was to await fur
ther developments.

The league-leading Tigers and
the third-place Hawthorne hooked
up in one of those games you read
about in a colored league contest

The Tigers scored all their
three runs in one inning and the

lying of two runs in one inning.
There were nothing but goOseggs
after that.
A. Dean went to the mound for
the Tigers in the sixth and struck
out eight batters the four frames
he pitched. ;
The Tigers and Coconuts will
cross bats today at 4 p. m. in a
battle for the league leadership.
The leading hitters of the loop
are: :

ON LAST NIGHT AT BAY
VIEW PARK RESULTS IN
SCORE OF 11-2

The Lopez Funeral Home ten
didn't wait long to grab off their
accustomed first place in the new
softball loop. Last night they
plastered the Busy Bee Bakerman
with an 11-2 score, the Bakermen
presenting the two runs. 1t was
the first game of the new league.
Sterling, who has been allowed
to pitch while Lunn is out with
the munla held the Bakers to
six hits. ! Magee was highly inef-
fective and his control poor. Since
he has been out of the game for
quite some time, fans allowed
for his weak hurting. He is a fair
~ steady hurler with practice.
One look at the Busy Bee error
column is enough to give any man
ager fits. Ten juicy ones are
marked up behind Busy Bee field
ers. In Elbertson and Goehring
the team has two of the leagues
best hitters and the rest of the
squad is fair. Fans can't see why
the ten doesn't get out in the win
column.

baseball and diamondball situation
has been handled weakly. | sug-
gest that they use an iron hand
when they deal with any player
who violates the rules of the
games. Spectators. who have
been making it habit of stray
ing on the field and putting in
their little say during an argu-
ment, should be quickly elected.
Another practice that has be-
come ludicrous is the breaking up
of the schedule almost every week.
This has been done with both the
Junior and Senior leagues. Every
time new club wants to get in,
the FERA goes right ahead and
draws up a beautiful new sched-
ule. There was plenty of time be-
fore the two leagues started to
send in entry slips. Most of the
teams practiced for several weeks
before the league began.
"The FERA may talk a great
deal about having an organized
league" with strong league head,
sovereign umpires and strict
rules. but if the FERA itself acts
weakly, as in the matter of break
ing up the schedules, the whole
thing will become another inane,
childishly-acting league. That is
the trouble with the ball players
in this town. They have been pam.
pered and petted like a lot of
kids. Let's treat them like men.
hereafter. and make them act like
men. And the FERA must give the
example first.
GAS to the baseball situation,
would like to see a series OF
games played for the 1884 cham
pionship Of the city. If the Pirates
do not want to play. have the Sc
ries between the Sluggers, Stars
and Trojans. The fans want to
see baseball. not a lot of baby
play among the managers. Are
we going to let one or two out .
law baseball here? think the
three clubs are equally matched.

ries of games"
