Executions Cast a Pail

 Those remaining looked vainly fer certain attaches and guessed as Co their fate. Most of all the crowd whispered about popular Ambassador T'royanovsky, just or dered back to Russia for a time. < some of Troyanovsky's best { 1riends-D0letxlky, Romm, Mix haiIsky-had been arrested, pre- I szlniably doomed. Did TrOyanov- siEy fear the worst, secretly in his heart?. No one knew. But many felt tension in the air.

When it is developed lo- ,cally to the point of size where this procedure is practicable, the local bank will, as elsewhere is intended, issue federal certicicates of regis tration, stating that the home des- ignated has been built under the plan. This is designed to strengthen investment security and resale value.
 The plan is primarily for super vised construction of homes in the field embracing 85 per cent of Amer ican families whose annual income of $3500 or less restricted them to homes costing less than $800o. For merly, it was reported, the home seeker has been forced to shop in an unfamiliar field with restruct- ed assets causing him to buy less than proper material with the re- suit that his investment through the loan bank is impaired when the home is finished.
 The plan is expected to remedy this evil.

Announcement that Russia had
hoisted quotations on her wheat Offer
ings to other countries cents bushel
came as surprise in particular to
Liverpool traders who we're short of
wheat to meet contract requirements.
and who made haste to purchase. The
result Of this was that the Liverpool
market, due l1s-lA cents lower, closed
today 3s-1l4 cents net higher. giving
decided stimulus to price upturns
this side of the Atlantic.
Tending also to lift the Chicago
wheat market was word that export
business in Canadian wheat today to-
tailed 100000 bushels and that 10000
bushels of United States hard Winter
wheat had been bought for shipment
to Antwerp and Rotterdam.
At the close Chicago wheat futures
were varying from 4 cent decline to
l1s cents advance compared with yes
terday's finish. December $lO0as-Ea,
May $l.0l ls-4, July 95, corn ls-la

December 1914 and rye showing 7.-l
cent bulge. December 747s. For pro-
visions. the outcome was unchanged
to IL cents lower.
Surplus Believed Small.
Leading wheat specialists here said
the increase in price of Russian offers
was just another of many indications
that Russia does not possess an ex-
portable wheat surplus large enough
to warrant forcing it on the world
market Ff.
A different reason suggested from
London, however, was that negotia-
tions for shipment of $4,000 tons Of
Russian wheat to Switzerland had
prompted the price increase.
Meanwhile. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture advices from
Beunos Aires were at hand that despite
breaking of the Argentine drought,
irreparable damage to wheat crops
had been done amounting to about
28,000,000 bushels.
Overnight rain received in Southwest
and West sections of the United States
Winter wheat belt served to make the
price of July delivery lag as compared
with old crop months, December and
May. On the other hand, some buying
OF wheat futures in Chicago was re-
garded as against sales at Kansas City.
Primary receipts of domestic wheat
today were $4,000 bushels, falling
of from week ago when they totaled
1,186,000 bushels, but still large in con-
trast with 33l 900 bushels the corre-

Failure of Foreign Markets

New York Market,
Py the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. October 9.-Cotton
rallied about S1.50 bale today when
Southern selling dried up but ad-
vances were not fully maintained and
the market closed IA to 25 points net
higher December, which had sold
up from 1852 to 1877, finished at 1872.
Opening losses Of 2 to points
reflected moderate declines at Liv-
erpool and an overnight accumula-
tion of foreign and Southern selling.
These offerings were soon absorbed
by trade buying and covering and
when the selling tapered off the
market responded to a light demand
with advances Of 80 to 81 points from
the lows.
The market proved thin, however,
and late fluctuations were erratic.
Prices lost about IA to 18 points from
the highs under liquidation but again
turned steadier in the last few min
utes.
Failure of the foreign markets to
break sharply On yesterdays Govern
ment estimate of 17,573,00O bales,
helped sentiment here.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the close Of
the week was estimated at 1862. 900
bales against $4,000 last year and
101, 900 two years ago.

DECLINES HALTED

September Brings Reversal.
Volumes Rise III Per

NEW YORK, october 9.-The de-
Ginning tendency which has been evi-
dent in chain store sales for the last
few months was apparently checked
in September. according to the month

pared with 1921, $751; ,Ol0, or an in
crease Of IL per cent over year
ago. From the dollar viewpoint the
volume has been exceeded only three
months this year, one of which in
cluded the Easter season.
Beginning with May, when the in
crease over a year ago was 15.4 per
cent, the monthly rate of increase has
consistently declined until in August it
was only 38 per cent. This decline
has also been accompanied by con-
slant decrease In the dollar volume.
with the result that last months good
showing was in sharp contrast with
the declining securities market and
general expectation of unfavorable
merchandising reports
There are also indications from many
sections Of the country that the easier
price tendency which accompanied
the declining volume has been ar
rested and more stability is apparent.
For the first nine months of the

Effects of Substantial
Crop Increases.
Special Dispatch to The Star,


NEW YORK, October s.-Conditions
affecting the tobacco industry have
altered but little in recent months.
according to Poors Industry and In
vestment Surveys. Cigarette and
cigar production for 1887 through Au-
gust ran ahead Of 1886 levels, although
cigars showed some hesitation in July.
The output Of snuff and smoking to-
baccos, although somewhat improved
in August, remained below last year.
"Tax-paid Withdrawals of cigarettes
in August at 15,098, 900 900 were sea-
sonally lower than the July an-time
monthly high, but showed a 12.4 per
cent gain over 1885," says the analysis.
Volume for the eight months was up
7.6 per cent. August cigar output was
l3 per cent higher than a year ago,
and the gain in the first eight months
amounted to 5.8 per cent.
Both snuff and smoking tobacco
Withdrawals in August showed the first
increase in several months, with gains
Of 80 per cent and Sc per cent, re-
Spectively. The eight month period,
however, showed declines of 48 per
cent for the former and 1.9 per cent
for the latter
THE recent United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture forecast of 1887
tobacco crop conditions, which indi-
Gated % per cent increase over last
years yield, is being substantially
borne out by marketing operations al
ready under way in the Southern
growing region. Prices to date have
shown, little change from last years
levels. Even in the case Of hurley to-
bacco-for which 65 per cent yield
increase over last years short crop is
indicated-active demand is expected
to limit price declines to relatively
small proportions"

Consul Reports.

0y lHe ASSOClbteQ PTeSS.
Japan, biggest buyer Of American
cotton last season. will import less raw
cotton this Fall than any similar
period in recent years, the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics reported today.
American Consul Frenz at Kobe in
formed the bureau that stringent
regulations for the control Of imports
and foreign exchange indicated the
reduction.
Stocks Of cotton imports are un-
usually large in Japan, the bureau
said, so that mill activity can be held
at a high level for several months
without additional supplies.
Trade sources predicted japanese
mill consumption Of cotton for the
year that started with September will
be rs to 80 per cent under the all
time peak for the season just ended.
Japan imported a record total Of
4,451, ,450 bales in the IL months ended
with August, and IS per cent of this,
or 1889 500 bales was American cotton
In the previous season the United
States supplied 1,661,119 bales or A
per cent of total imports of 3,736, ,926
bales.
Other chief sources of raw cotton
for Japan are India, Egypt, China and
