:•/ > (Ass- lated Press)
NEW TORK, Sept. I.—The amount

today was ' swelled considerably over
yesterday's total. The first hour's
dealings in fact crossed the day's total
for yesterday. ; This increase In activ

dealing Into a state of animation. The
overwhelming preponderance of the
' transactions In Reading, Union Pa

: the professional character of the mar

that respect.

Restriction of projects of improve
ment and cutting down outlay as far
as possible were admittedly on the

. policy of retrenchment ; by ■ railroads

industrial securities was unfavorably
■ affected. United States Steel was con
spicuous in this respect.

''' were .the largest In any month since
• April of 1909 but the price of the metal
receded in London and the copper se
curities wore sold with the rest of the
list. The expected , advance in the
Bank of England discount rate did not

CHICAGO GRAIN
Special service to Th» Herald by J. C. Wil
son, member of the Chicago board of trade.
New York stock exchange and San Francisco
bond and stock exchange, 212 West Fifth street,
Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Sept. I.—Market was a rather
ragged and mostly a heavy ulTair In wheat
today, differences oontlnulng to widen, tlie
September discount the largest now of any
time on the crop. Deliveries were heavy at
2.580.000 buihels and went to scattered com
mission concerns. The latter resold more or
less as September weakened whenever ele
vator support was withdrawn. Russia and
Roumanla are reported by Antwerp cables as
underselling America, and the drought In
Argentina appears to have been broken by
good rains. Export bids reported below pos
sible export limits. Nevertheless there were
claims of export of 72,000 bushels, Manitoba
wheat by Duluth exporters. Cash demand
here slim and confined to elevators. Fall
plowing far advanced In the winter wheat
country, threshing far advanoed and fall
plowing begun In the Canadian northwest. The
market continues to hinge on the foreign sit
uation and the continent appears to buy on
every weak spot They turned Liverpool from
% lower to VI higher today by buying car
goes of Australian wheat off coast.
The corn market was quite irregular but
changes within narrow limits. Trade In Sep
tember limited and that month covered a
wider range. Trade Is still a little nervous
over the possibility of frost damage later, but
buyers were disappointed because of failure
of frost to show over night. Fair reins cov
ered most of the belt last night or predicted
for tonight or tomorrow. This will help nil
the oorn but Is a menace In case frost shows
up early, as the crop is late. Country sold
a little more freely.
Oats were a little firmer on smaller deliv
eries than expected and evidences of heavy
purchases by eastern dealers who are hold-
Ing In cheap storage and hedge the grain here
mainly for December and May. Erroneous re
ports that there were sales for export grew
out of the fact that eastern exporters were
among the concerns who bought the cash
oats.
Provisions were mainly lower, nearby lard
the weakest. Foreign concerns sold tho lard.
European lard stocks decreased moderately
last month against an Increase a year ago.
The stock there Is now 37,500 less than a year
ago In store and afloat.

SPARK OF MOTORCYCLE
IGNITES GIRL'S SKIRT
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—Horribly
burned about the legs and body, pretty
16-year-old Alice Woodson is lying at
the point of death in c. hospital as the
result of her clothing having caught
fire while she was riding with her
fiance on a motorcycle.
Louis Knight, to whom Miss Wood
son was engaged to be married next
fall, is an enthusiastic motorcyclist.
He has affixed a temporary cradle seat
to the rear of his machine. In this
Miss Woodson was accustomed to ride.
They had been touring about the Po
tomac parkway and the Mall, and were
returning to Miss Vv'oodson's home at
a high rate of speed when a spark
from the carbureter caught her under
skirt, which ignited in a flame. The
rapidity of the motor fanned the spark
Into flames before Knight could stop it.
Miss Woodson screamed with pain
and fright. Knight brought the cycle
to a standstill and boat out the blaz
ing garments with his bare hands.
. A policeman ran to the assistance of
the excited couple and insisted that
Miss Woodaon be conveyed to the hos
pital at once. The doctors say that
sho has a chancq for. recovery. :

NEW LONDON SUBWAY WILL
COST $5,000,000 PER MILE
Central Railway to Connect with
the Two-Penny Tube
LONDON, Sept. I.—A quarter of a
mile of "tube" railway Is about to
be constructed from the bank of Liv
erpool street station, at a cost of $1,
--250,000 or $5,000,000 a mile. It is to
be ready In eighteen months.
The new line will be an extension of
the Central London railway, or "two
penny tube," and will bring the Great
Eastern Kailway terminus, with ita
quarter of a million passengers a day,
and Broad street station also, into
direct touch with the whole tube rail
way system of London.
It is hoped to substitute movlnr
stairways for the lifts at the Liverpool
street end of the tube. This would
provide continuous descending and as
cending slides, on which passengers
would merely have to stand in order
to be taken up or down.
The principle of moving stalrwaya
has been approved, and It is hoped
to overcome one or two difficulties In
detail which are at present under con«
slderatlon.
MUST AWAIT UNTYING OF
RED TAPE BEFORE FLIGHT
Army Aviator Asks Permission to
Sail Beyond Post
SAN ANTONIO, Sept. I.—ln lha
war department everything moves with
micrometric precision, at least so it
would seem. When some time ;i~<>
Lieut. B. D. Foulois, who manages the
aero squad at Fort Sam Houston,
wanted to put wheels on his Wright
flyer, the permission of the. war de
partment was necessary. For a long
time it seemed as if the communica
tion had gone astray, but finally action
was secured and the wheels were put
on the machine.
Now, the lieutenant would make
aerial excursions beyond the confined
of the post, and once more permission
is necessary. Th« itrmy airman has
applied for this, but Is still waiting.
In the meantime the kit.- Is getting
dally exercl.se in low flights, high
flights, quick start* and landing and
other maneuvers.
