—Oct. 14-
Today’s stock market, with all its dull
ness and featureless trading, is neverthe
less full of significance to the observer
who is willing to look beneath the sur
face.
We have had a week of tight money, of
high interest rates, a uniformly bearish
run of news, a real panic in Cuba.
The prospect of a coal strike In Eng
land and an endless recital of manufactur
ing curtailment.
And with all this the stock market
acted as though it was resting on a Gib
raltar-like foundation.
There are many weak spots in the
stock market, which is perfectly natural.
There are various lines of basinets that
have been overdone, over-expanded.
It will take a little time for them to
readjust their affairs to a normal basis.
This would apply at this time to the
motor Industry.
The equipment companies, on the other
band, have a bright future before them,
and tho rails are unusually favored, and
while limited in earning, that limit woeld
Justify a higher range of values than now
prevails for most of the Issues.
The ent • market acts as though there
la a substantial short interest present,
and with the first signs of easier money,
• new upward, movement may follow.

There was a somewhat firmer tone to
the trading on the local hog market at

uiand by shippers and also to the higher
tendency of Chicago and other outside
markets. ,

of the week at 7,000 fresh hogs and less
than 1,000 left over from the Wednesday
market. . _

higher than tho close of the Wednesday
market with more good, heavy hogs
selling around the sl6 mark and a top
of $16.15, with a few bringing $16.25.

Bureau announced today.
CAPPER MAY END
GRAIN GAMBLING
Will Introduce Bill to Stop
Deals in ‘Futures.'
SMITH CENTER, Kan., Oct. 14.—Gam
bllng In grain futures will be prohibited
If a bill drafted by Senator Arthur Cap
per passes the next Congress.
Declaring the “grain gamblers” are
double-crossing both producer and con
sumer, running down the price until the
farmer is forced to sell, and then run
ulng up the cost to the buying public,
Capper told an audience here be had
drawn a bill “to put this den of thieves
out of buslne'.is.’’
Capper said the war had proved th#
country could get along without trading
in grain futures.
Capper said “grain gamblers have made
the Exchange Building in Chicago the
world’s greatest gambling house.”
By comparison Europe's “Suicide Club'*
at, Monte Carlo is as Innocent and In
nocuous as a church b&zaar.

(By Thomson McKinnon.)
—Oct. 14-
Wheat—Southwestern advices to the
effect that country offerings of wheat
were larger were more unanimous than
yesterday. This item was responsible
for selling which appeared to be in tho
way of liquidation. Offerings were ab
sorbed by a scattered demand, included
In which were cash handlers. New ex
port demand Is reported slow, but there
1s fair valume of Interchange of cash
wheat oa previous foreign sales. The
Government estimate of wheat reserve
does not Include flour. The figures given
on wheat alone, 606,000,000, suggest only
a trifle over 100,000.000 remaining for ex
port tho next nine months and carry
over July 1 next. The light stocks, the
small movement and the premiums for
the cash article give a good basis for the
December delivery.
Corn—There were liquidating sales In
the early corn market, together with
more or less selling by those who believe
in lower prices. Tho later market was
affected by a better demand for cash
corn, not only from domestic distributors
but from seaboard exporters. Premiums
on current arrivals were advanced from
%c to lc. It Is commonly accepted that
the total crop of all feeds provides an
enormous surplus In the long run, bat
at the present tune the farmer is not
selling the- new cr< p freely and has
stopped offering his reserves of the old
crgjj. Because of this Immediate con
dit.on, we are Inclined to believe that
market is entitled to reaction.
Oats—Houses with eastern connections
were again buyers of oats, but the mar
ket Is not yet broad and displays uo in
dependent action. In this market, as In
tbn corn, we believe a Uttle rally would
present a better opportunity for selling i
than exists at the moment.
Provlsions—There 1* considerable evl- i
dence of a large trade In cosh lard with
Europe and the East. Th.s situation
keeps list firm. Believe this market will
sympathize with any rally In grain, al
though we do not view It as an invest
ment propos.tlon.
