—Nov. 27
The volume of business today on the
stock exchange was light.
There was an absence of sell'ng pres
sure. Fluctuations were not important
The comparative narrowness of . the
market was welcome, as a little dullness
now will afford the opportunity that is
ueeessarv to review all that has hap
pened, to survey the preseut situation
and to formulate opinions as to the fu-
we were merely to consider the
quoted prices of our securities there
wnr.’d he but little doubt but that op'n
lons todav would be unanimously in
favor of the market.
Depreciation in value has been so great
as to lead the conclusion that Intrinsic
worth is absointely of no consideration
at the present time. This result, how
ever is but the natural reaction from the
long’ reriod of dangerous inflation
through which we have passed It
merely me.,ns that the pendulem has
gone to the other extreme.
When we attempt to find probable
course of the market dnring the imme
diate future, we must keep constantly In
mind the present state of business and
give full weight to the point that de
flatlon has not been completed and until
it Is completed we are more than likely
to have further liquidation.

—Nov. 27-
Wheat—The people at large are not
yet confident of the future as witness
the action of New York stocks, also the
very small investment buying In wheat.
Apparently no such fears exist abroad.
If Ideas can be based upon the demand
from that source for our grains. Ger
many, which is supposed to be bankrupt,
has evidently discovered some method
of paying for food, as they are rather
persistent buyers of our wheat and rye.
There aro some who claim this demand
Is fictitious. if that were true, there
would be no competitive buying in the
cash wheat. That there is such buying
Is proven by the better basis of export
bids. Wheat via the gulf Is now 23c over
December, as against 17c a short time
ago Stocks of Hour In England are ma
terially larger than a year ago. But the
British commission was a buyer of
Mnuitoba wheat toduy. Our milling
friends tell us that the stocks of flour
In this country are not large, also that
the flour at eastern points reported some
time since as lilt salable is not a desir
able sort. This being so, we should ex
pect u better demand for wheat from
millers at any time. Investment buying
may be slow in returning, but the con
stant absorption of our surplus by for
eign countries will certainly steady the
market and probably result In higher
prices.
Corn—A somewhat better demand for
corn from eastern distributors was again
noticeable. We anticipate a further en
hancement of values.
Oats— As Is usually the case, the broad
ening of Interest In oat market lags be
lli ~i the other grains There is every
evidence of a well liquidated market
Provisions—Cash trade In products
both domestic and foreign is stow, out
should Improve with a return of con
fidence.

Terse Market Notes
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—The week opens
with the fact made clearer that, the big
banks are willing to lend their influence
to steady the market pending liquidation
accounts that are lacking in collaterals
that are salable except at especially
heavy sacrifices.
This means, of course, that stocks of
Industrials will be on sale for rallies.
Temporarily, we should have a steady
market, however, even though news Is
quite uhfnvorabte. with the Sinn Fein
Invading). England, metals and other com
modities continually seeking new low
levels and tax payments just ahead,
which restricts buying. At the same time
some stocks appear soundly as splendid
Investments and certainly good specula
tions In the long run.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Secretary Hous
ton has announced a campaign, according
to reports received here, to increase pub
lic investments In government bonds.
Accotding to reports he believes that the
price of long-term Liberty bonds is bound
to improve.

AIR IRRIGATION
FIRM PLANNED
Proposed to Clouds to
Obtain Rain.
CALGARY, Alta.. Nov. 2 .A. E. Cole
formerly of the Royal Flying Corr*. has
organized the Aerial Irrigation Company
here to produce rain by spraying clouds
with liquid air.
Clouds that trail uselessly across the
sky, says the new rain maker, aro rain
dairies gone to waste for lack of a milk
maid. 11*- hopes to become the milk
maid of the clouds.
That these llolstelns of blue sky pas
tures need, be declares, to make them
let down their moisture Is a Rllage of
liquid air. He proposes to feed them
front an airplune.
Cole declares the plan perfectly prac
ticable. Clouds are rain In the form of
Imponderable vapor. Let a big cumulus
cloud trail Itself across a snow clad
mountain peak and the cold condenses Its
moisture. Liquid air. in Cole's scheme,
will substitute for the mountain peak
Liquid air tn Its frigidity Is an approach
toward absolute sero.
When bis company Is In operation and
a rain 1b needful Cole declares he will
fly up among the clouds In an airplane
equipped with n pump gun that shoots
liquid air instead of bullets. Skimming
lightly about some nebulous monster, he
will spray Its snowy sides with frozen
air which will cause Its moisture to con
geal and tall upon the thirsty earth in a
refreshing shower.
if Cole's unique idea works out, farm
ers will he able to get ran by a process
as simple as turning on a faucet, and
millions of dollars will be added to (he
productive value of the rapidly settling
farm lands of western Canada.

Can You Qualify
as Kansas Husband?
LAWRENCE, Kan., Nov. 29.—Men must
be earning a comfortable Income before
they can marry Kansas University
women, if the answers to questionnaires
sent to 500 co-eds can be depended on.
The average Income demanded is $350
to $450 a month.
Smoe of the freyhmen women declined
to fall for anything less than $5,000 a
year, hut the older ones were less exact
ing In their demands.
The men a1 so received a questionnaire,
asking their choice of qualities iu a mate,
and one hundred answers emphasized the
Importance of companionship iu the wife.
The men gave the ideal age for a
woman at marriage as 20, and seemed to
think the husband ought to be able to
earn around S3OO a month.
The men placed little emphasis on the
cooking abilities of their prospective
spouses.

CHEMISTS TO
GATHER IN N. Y.
British Compounders Will
Meet W T ith Americans.
WASHINGTON, Nov.
speaking chemists from all parts of the
world, following the annual meeting of
the British Society of Chemical Industry,
to be held in Canada, are to meet in New
York next fall with their American breth
ren.
According to the announcement made
by I>r. Charles L. Parsons, secretary of
the American Chemical Society, this is
likely to be the largest convocation ot
chemists ever hold on this continent.
The Society of Chemical Industry of
Great Britain, which has branches In
every quarter of the globe, lias several
sections on Canadian soil, including that
In Montreal, which yill be Its host. There
will be hundreds from Great
Britain and. from other nations where
there are English-speaking chemists, as
well os the Canadian members. At the
conclusion of the meetings In the Do
minion, the delegates from abroad and
many <f their Canadian associates, will
cross the border and go to New York,
where they will foregather with the met
ropolitan branch of the Society of Chem
ical Industry and also with the American
Chemical Society. The British Society
of Chemical Industry has approximately
8.000 members, while the American Chem
ical Society has a membership ol 15,500.
This joint meeting Is a direct out
growth of the closer relations which have
sprung up among chemists of Anglo-
Saxon blood as a result of the World
Mar. The research work of the Chemical
Welfare Service of Great Britain and the
United States established a bond of sym
pathy which is to be further strength
ened by the assemblage iu New York.
WHALER STAGES
RESCUE AT SEA
Thirteen of Crew and Pas
sengers Saved From Death.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29 A thrill
ing tale of the rescue of thirteen Ice
bound starring passengers of a pas
senger steamer which had been wrecked
near Cape Prince of Wales, was told here
on the arrival of the whaler Herman,
one of the fleet operated by H. Liebes &
Cos., furriers, from a cruise Into the
Arctic Sea.
The whaler was loaded down with
whale oil. furs, salt fish and whalebone,
a cargo valued at $200,000.
FOUNT* WANDERING
Ol EK ICE FLOES.
The rescue was effected after the ship
wrecked passengers had been wandering
over the Ice for two weeks without food.
There were three women In the party
and they told of how they had baked
the last of their provisions into small
sited cakes, giving one to each passen
ger. When found the passengers were
nearly exhausted. Capt. C. T. Pederson,
skipper of the whaler, was recommended
for official commendation by the author
ities at Nome.
An attempt was made by the party of
the Herman to rescue the lone survivor
of the Stephenson expedition, who, If
still alive, is at Banks Land. Three
men were brought out from this place
by the Herman on its last cruise. The
lone survivor Is believed to have a for
tune in furs. Fifty miles was the clos
est the party attempting the rescue
could get to the place where the sur
vivor Is believed to be. On the way
north the Herman took supplies to the
Presbyterian Hospital at Point Bar
rows.
ESQIIMAX FOUND
LAZY AND WEALTHY.
In the whaling expedition there wa*
but one dshap and that was when a
giant bowlieod, harpooned by members
of a boat in the command of Theodoo.
Pederson, son of the captain, and a vet
eran of five cruises into the frozen north,
showed fight. The boat was upset and
the men rescued only after their live*
were endangered.
The Esquimaux hare become Independ
ent, owing to the Increase in the value
of furs, according to George Goheeu,
company representative, who made the
trip. He says they are wallowing In
tilth, refusing to hunt for furs, employ
ing the less independent members of the
tribe to do the work for them. The na
tives generally, says Goheen, are in poor
condition physically.
