STOCK MARKET
TONE VIGOROUS
Steel Industrials Neglected—
Southern Pacific Leads.
NEW TORE. Oct. 30.—The stock mar
ket opened with Tlgorous buying in many
Issues today, but for a time the steel
Industrials were comparatively neglected,
interest being centered in various other
groups.
Southern Pacific continued to bold the
market leadership, being traded in on a
large scale and opening with a gain of
one point at 102. After reacting to 101%,
the stock later moved up to above 102.
United Fruit was also prominent, ad
vancing 3% to 223. and Atlantic Gulf and
West Indies rose one point to 113.
Marine common rose % to 19%. Asso
ciated Oil advanced 2% points to 107%,
the buying being based on remarks that
the company'will be usM as a holder and
operator of Southern Pacific Oil lands.
Mexicau Petroleum made a gain of %
to 192% and then reacted to 191%.
Pan-American Petroleum rose % to
SB%.
Royal Dutch continued under pressure,
slllng*down 1% to 71%. 1
United' States Rubber was also under
pressure because of the trade conditions
reflected In the prices announced yester
day, and dropped 3 points to 72%; Steel
common shaded off % to 87% and then
moved back to 88.
Baldwin Locomotive advanced % to
113 Vi.
The market closed irregular.
Closing prices included: United States
Steel, 88%, up Vi; Baldwin Locomotive,

—Oct. 30-
There was every reason why we should
have had a fairly active market today.
The confirmation at Washington that
the Mexican recognition was a settled
fact, October financing completed and tn
election next Tuesday that is counted
upon confidently to put new life into
business.
The short session, however, passed
with nothing unusual In the trading, only
a moderate volume of business, strength
Jn a few issues and weakness in a few
with only minor price changes through
the list.
The weakness In the rubber shares is
of greater significance than the fluctua
tions In other stocks because here the
market responded to the announcement
of cut prices.
This is the all important element in
industry at this time and up to the pres
ent only a few lines hare adopted drastic
enough measures to place them in a po
sition to do business on a deflated basis.
All industries must of necessity do
likewise and until so we can hardly be
Justified in expecting anything more than
temporary advance.

j Stock Market Review
NEW YORK, Oct. 80.—Tbo Evening
Sun’s financial review today said:
“Although price movements in today’s
quiet short session of the stock market
were not uniform, there was a strong
under tone from the beginning, which
brought numerous strong spots compris
ing such issues as Southern Pacific, most
of the oils. National Aniline, United Fruit,
American Can, and so on.
“The leader in the trading was against
Southern Pacific, which was pushed for
ward in good buying volume on the
strength of news from Washington re
specting recognition of Mexico.
“United State Rubber was an out
standing weak feature, dropping several
points on the trade situation reflected in
the cutting of prices for rubber and tire 6.
“For the same reason, of course, Good
rich suffered substantial losses also.
“There was little change in the steei
industrials or In railroad descriptions as
a whole. Further railroad returns for
< September were not very good, with the
exception of Great Northern.
“The foreign exchanges were under
[ considerable pressure.
“Price reductions continue unabated,
according to the Federal Reserve Bank
review of conditions as well as the Dun
cud Bradstreet agencies.’’

GRAIN MARKET
CHANGES SLIGHT
Grain Receipts for Week Show
Decrease.
CHICAGO, Oct. SO.—Fractional changes
in grain quotations on a small volume of
trading marte-d the short se‘s on ou the
Chicago Hoard of Trade today.
Receipts for the week showed a slight
falling off, although few traders agreed
that it was the result of the farmers’
organized effort to withhold grain from
the markets for higher prices.
Provisions were lower.
December wheat opened off 1 point at
$2.08% and closed unchanged. March
wheat lost % at the opening at $2.03 and
closed down another 1 point.
Un-ember corn lost %c at the opening,
83%c, and closed up %c. May corn was
unchanged at 89%e at the opening, but
showed a gain of %c at the close.
December oats, up %e at the opening,
55c, gained auother %c in later trading.
May oats opened at 6OV4C, up %e, and
advanced an additional }*c.

—Oct. SO
Wheat—Export business in wheat has
been conspicuous by its absence, nor has
Here been nny) buying of wheat in this
market such as has been seen the last
three This oond.tlon has bee;, on
set for today by the strength in corn.
Private cables intimate the British have
impertant stocks of wheat on hand and
there will be further delay in buying for
future needs. Southwestern markets are
showing relative firmness, presumably
because of the refusal of Oklahoma and
Kansas farmers to accept the prevailing
price. There is a growing feeling that
ihe holding attitude of the* farmer may
bring about congestion in the December
delivery, but there is no buying based
on this theory. Imports of Canadian
wheat and flour liav ■ more offer; j., the
minds of the trade than the attitude of
the Western farmer.
Corn—A further falling off in receipts
of corn liaa prompted consiflftable buy-
Ing by former sellers. It has also %n
---cournged a demand from some loesl
traders who are friendly. It Is not pos
sible to say there is any broad demand
from the outside, either for the deferred
deliveries or the cash article. The ad
vance in price has checked such little
export business as was doing. Further
than this Argentine corn Is under-selling
us in England at least. If not elsewhere.
In the absence of any strong reason for
an advance in prices the market Is like
ly to encounter selling on any further
advance.
Oats—Smaller shorts have been cover
ing oats because of the strength in corn.
The market continues dull and uninter
esting. The important thing in the sit
uation Is the lack of dcrnnnd from either
domestic or’foreign sources.
Provisions—Liquidation of nearby de
liveries is to tie - en in the provision
market. Outlook for new foreign busi
ness' Is not encouraging. There are re
pot ts from the country ea rr yi n({ tjj„ tj el
of lower prices in hogs.

In the Cotton Market 9
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—The cotton mar
ket opened weak today at a decline of
40 to 64 points under general atlling due
to bad reports from manufacturing cen
ters and an absence of killing frosts In
the South.
Trading was active with increased
offerings on rallies and with the prices
after the start ruled barely steady.
Private predictions were for frosts to
night for the Central and Eastern belts.
New York cotton opening: December,
20.90 c; January, 20.05 c; March, 19.80 c;
May, 19.50 c; July, 19.15 c; August, 18.95 c,
bid.
Late in the morning local and foreign
selling supplied the demand from New

FARMERS PICKET
KANSAS ROADS
To Keep Wheat From Market
Until Price is $3.
WICHITA. Ku.. Oct. 30—Picketing
has made its appearance In farmers’ ef
forts to keep wheat from the market un
til it reaches $3, according to word
reaching the national headquarters of the
Wheat Growers’ Association here today.
At Harper, when farmers drive toward
the mill with wagons loaded with grain
they were met by picketing neighbors,
who attempted to dissuade them, by ar
guments, from marketing their wheat at
this time.
They were usually successful, the re
port stated.
The Wheat Growers' Association is
planning to finance those farmers who
must sell some of their grain to meet
debts, v ,

BOSTON HOLDS
MOST NOTABLE
PERSONS’ BONES
Heroes of Past ‘Lie’ in Twenty
Burying Grounds of
Hub City.
MOTHER GOOSE THERE
By FREDERIC J. ITASKIN.
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 30. —Boston and
its cluster of surrounding towns surely
possess more famous dead than any other
locality in the country.
It is Impossible to say how many no
table characters lie buried around here
because the question would have to be
settled, “What is a famous character?”
Otis and Hancock, for instance, two of
the greatest orators of the Revolution,
are passed over hurriedly by many vis
itors to the Old Granary ground, but
nearly all linger in pleased surprise near
the simple stone of Mary Goose, who, ac
cording to the little wooden placard, la
believed to be the Mother Goose of the
nursery rhymes.
So many of the great lie in and around
Boston and they represent so many lines
of achievement that few strangers leave
here without paying tribute to at least
one favorite character.
The graves of Revolutionary heroes are
numerous.
The tomb of Mary Chilton, the first
woman to lenp from the Mayflower to
Plymouth Rock, is in the heart of Boston,
Inf its oldest cemetery.
Elisabeth Pain, believed to be the orig
inal of Hawthorne’s Hester Prynne of
"The Scarlet Letter,” lies in this same
ground, and as nawthorne says in his
novel, her stone may be seen to this day.
FAMOUS PERSONS
IN CAMBRIDGE.
Over In Cambridge there Is a more
modern ground, one of the most beauti
ful iii the country, and here may be seen
stones nnd monuments to such famous
folk ns Edwin Booth, the actor; Agassi*
and Gray, the great naturalists: Phillips
Brooks. Lowell, Holmes and Longfellow,
Rufus Choate nd Julia Ward Howe.
One of the most beautiful monuments
to be found anywhere is here erected to
a still different type of famous person.
This is the memorial to Mrsl Eddy, the
founder of Christian Science.
The memorial is composed of eight
white columns in a circle, with begonias
and geraniums planted inside.
It stand* by one of the lakes in the
cemetery, and as you look across this
lake the effect Js that of a graceful
Greek temple In a grove of trees, the
whole mirrored in the blue water be
fore it.
Boston has twenty cemeteries,-all but
three of which might be called "■old.”
The four oldest —Kings Chapel. the
Granary, Copp’s Hill, and the Common
Burying Ground—are the most interest
ingly populated.
Os these four, afl|bnt Copp’s Hill 'are
in the very center of Boston, where shop
pers and office workers throng steadily
past the Eates.
There are nearly always a few
strangers inside, poring over the faint
inscriptions ar.d smiling at the ferocious
skull and crossbones and the hourglass
to be seen on most of the flint slabs.
But Boston folk In general hurry by
without a thought or a glance Inside.
These graveyards were old before their
great-grandfathers were born.
They are an accepted part of the land
scape and neither repel nor attract.
Even for the stranger these very old
burying grounds do cot Inspire gloom
as modern cemeteries often do.
The inhabitants have been dust for
over two hundred years, and it is an
unusually emotional temperament that
can be moved to tears over the rows of
gray stone* all ctit after the same pat
tern. but now .varied by different stages
of dilapidation.
THIN4.S NJ4T ALWAYS
AS THEY SEEM.
But even were you Inclined to grow a
bit sentimental over an ancestor or a
favorite hero, you would remember in
time that he might not, after all, lie
below- that, particular stone, and put
away your handkerchief with a single
sir-li.
For It Is a sad fact that the stones do
not always stand where they were orig
inally planted.
After the oldest burying grounds were
forsaken for newer ouea, they were al
lowed to go tmeared for, and In these
'•ears of neglect stones were stolen,
moved about, broken and lost.
In Copp's Hill burying ground, up the
street from the Old North Church, stones
were filched to fill holes In chimneys
and prop up doorsteps around the neigh
borhood.
One boy amused himself by changing
the date on one stone from 1695 to 1625.
and on another from 3690 to 1820. In
order to perplex the antiquarians who
would wonder how persons were buried
there several years before Boston war
settled.
When the city began to care for the
old grounds systematically, many of the
stolen stones were recovered und those
found lying about were set up iu con
venient places In the same cemetery.
City officials and the cemetery watch
men know in almost every case which
stones are not In their own places,
though they may not always know, ex
cept In a general way, where the lost
graves lie.
It was this lack of accuracy In the
tombstone markers that led Oliver Wen
dell Holmes to remark that the stones
really tell the truth when they say
“here lies.’’
One of the most famous lost graves is
that of Gilbert Stuart, who painted pic
tures of so nuny of the revolutionary
statesmen.
His best known work is the portrait
of Washington which is familiar to most
people.
It Is a fact that Washington presents
a different appearance In almost every
portrait.
A bust in Old North Church shows
him with cheeks slightly sunken from
age and lips tight set.
Few people would recognize this eld
erly gentleman as the sturdy, pink
cheeked Father of his Country presented
by Stuart.
Yet Lafayette Is said to have looked
at this bust and exclaimed, “It is my
old friend Washington, indeed’” \
Confidentially, the sexton of Old North
Church whispers that Stuart stuffed the
checks) of his most famous sitter with
cotton In order to obtain the well-round
ed contour of the face.
Whatever the beauty secrets between
Stuart and Washington, the painter was
a master nnd his Washington portrait
a “masterpiece.
It seems a pity that his bone* should
have been so carelessly mislaid, so that
is known only that he was bufled in
the Common burying ground.
UNUSUAL STONE
IN BOSTON COMMON.
This burying ground on the Boston
Common has what Is.probably the most
unusual stone in the city.
It was set up “In memory of Mrs.
Bally Morse (wife of Mr. Samuel Morse),
who dies July 28, 1 f99, of the cramp In
her stomach after about one hour’s Ill
ness. aged 26 years nnd 2 months.”
This stone, dug up by chance not so
long ago, attracted a good deal of at
tention. and curiosity was aroused as to
whether the unfortunate’ young women

stand and demanded that some
