A Few of lie Sew Industrials Showed Marked Strength Local Trading In - Large Volume Prices Steady. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easier at 287 Per cent.; last loan. 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, Vffl per cent. Sterling exchange was easier, with actual business In bankers bills at U.ttH-Si for demand, and at JU2V51.S3 for sixty days; posted rates were M.WiiMk and It-S&Vi; commercial bills were J1.S2. Sliver certificates were SS'SSOc, bar silver was 57Tc;' Mexican dollars were 471ic Bar silver, at London, sold at 26:d, in a dull market. The evidence of strength in Wednesday's . etock market attracted quite a large buying Interest In Wall street yesterday morning, and the market, during the first hour, took the upward course with very active trading. The demand showed, however, a remarkable falling off during the rest cf the day, and' the interested point of strength which developed from time to time, proved unavailing to sustain pricey and the drift was downwards until the close, which was very-generally at. the low point of the day, and. at a level below Wednesday night. The market, during the first hour, was conspicuous for the great breadth of the demand, the number of stocks which moved being no less than 125. The aggregate number of shares dealt in was also very large. Broadly. speaking, the market was a reversal of that of Wednesday In that railroads, generally, were Inclined to react, "while the industrial stocks moved upwards. The evidences cf profit-taking In the coalers, which were manifest, even In the opening dealings, prompted selling to realize in the railroad list. The outside demand for stocks was very much Increased, and4t was this which was fed by the professional operators who have been accumulating stocks at the lower level. At the same time the vigorous strength of Sugar. Tobacco, Brooklyn Transit, Rubber and other industrials, and the continued speculation In the leather stocks helped to sustain the list, while the realizing was going on. These stocks all suffered to the extent of from 1 to over 2 points in the late downward movement. Inside support was manifest in some of the newer industrials, which have been the target, recently, for bear attack. This was notably true of the malting and glucose stocks. Malting preferred leading with a rise of nearry 6 points. Of the lowpriced stocks,- Standard Rope and Twine was brought forward with an advance of 2H. half of which' was subsequently lost. The iron- and steel stocks also received favorable- attention, especially Federal Steel, but gains In them were no better held than elsewhere. There were other individual stocks which were strong at different times, including Atchison preferred, on its September statement of net earnings. Southern . Railway, preferred and Chesapeake & Ohio. London was a buyer here, though oh a smaller scale than Wednesday, and sterling exchange yielded a fraction. In consequence. Apprehension of an unfavorable showing by the banks, on Saturday, was an Influence in. the growing heaviness of stocks. New York exchange shows some recovery at a few Important interior points, but continues downwfrd with others, and the downward movement of money has not yet ceased. The banks net loss to the subtreasury thus far foots up over 51,300,000 for the week. The rate for call loans dropped suddenly, near the close, to 2 per cent., but not until the bulk of the day's demand had been met at 6Vi1t7 per cent. - Lenders of money, on time, hold out for 6 per cent., and exact choice collateral. The fact is, some of the large interests operating in the money market have been lenders of money and are calling their loans for operations in stocks. 1 The dealings in bonds disclosed the same breadth of demand as those In stocks, many dormant Issues being brought Into the trading. Standard Rope and Twine Incomes rose an extreme of 3Vi and reacted 2i. The bond li3t reacted, in sympathy with stocks, the latter part of the day. making the changes somewhat mixed. Total sales, at par value, were J2.195.O0O. United States new fours, registered, and fives, registered, declined In the bid price.

On the wholesala streets yesterday the piles of goods on the sidewalks and later In the day on the city freight depot platforms gave ample evidence that business was good. For some time past the men at the city freight depots have worked-overtime to get goods off as promptly as possible. The competition between roads Is fortunate for the jobbers cf Indianapolis, as each road la vying with the other to move freight expeditiously and to make better time than do the express companies. Prices have taken on a steadier tone, and on Wednesday and yesterday there were no important changes. On Commission row there are plenty of apple, but as a rule of an inferior quality. Few choice winter apples have yet arrived. Some very good Jamaica oranges are now on the market. Lemons are easier. Irish and sweet potatoes are in large supply, and receipts of cabbage are on the inciease. Commission houses are now receiving a very nue grade of celery. Pears are still In abundant supply, but grapes are about off the market. The egg and poultry markets are active at uncharged prices. The local grain market in the last day or two lias snown a little more activity. Receipts of corn are on the Increase.

CORN TOOK THE LEAD

SMALLER Y1EI D TH AN WAS EXPECT ED CAt'SED A S1IAHP ADVANCE. Wheat Also Gained Materially and Oats SliBhtly Provisions Dull nnd rractlcallr Enchanted. . CHICAGO, Oct. 26. Corn led the proces sion on 'Change to-day and closed with a gain of 80Vic for the December option. A general buying movement, induced by the growing conviction that this year's crop has been greatly overestimated, caused the upturn. December wheat closed with a gain of Uf'c an3 0343 1c' Provisions -were dull and closed practically unchanged. Wheat opened steady and scored a advance over last night's close during the first hour's trading. Early news was generally of a bearish cast, but shorts were nervous over the situation in South Africa and commenced covering from the start. The strength In corn also encouraged buying and as offerings were scarce the upturn was easily accomplished. December opened IkQ higher at TOOric and advanced to 71Uc At the latter figure, however, a good deal of long wheat was thrown on the market, and a reaction to 70!?4Q70TsC followed. The later part of the session was extreme ly dull, with the price barely holding at 70?s71c and finally closed with buyers at 70"ic. Indications of an Increase of 1,500,000 bushels In the domestic visible during the week, and reports of complete relief in the drought-stricken sections had a depressing influence after the early trading. Spot de mand wraa poor. Chicago received 106 cars, six of which graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got only 476 cars, compared with 760 for the corresponding day a year ago. Total Western primary receipts wera 968.000 bushels. Atlantic port clearances in wheat and flour equaled 490,000 bushels. Corn was strong and active. A report by an authoritative statistician that the early estimates of this year's yield must be materially reduced, owing to disappoint ing husking returns, was the chief buying motive. The market advanced steadily until near the close when selling by shippers1 and profit-taking caused a slight reaction, casn demand was siacK. iteceipts were io cars. December opened He higher at 31.;S313ic, cold sparingly at 31c, advanced to 32Hc and closed at 32c. Oats were dull, but held steady In symnathv with corn. The principal trade con sisted of changinsr from December to May, with the result of a slight narrowing of the spreac. Receipts were 272 cars. December opened a Fhade lower at 22(322ic and advanced to 2-'c at tne close. The advance in corn strengthened pro visions early, but the market yielded under heavy liquidation near the end and the advance was lost. January pork closed 2c lower at $9.574: January lard unchanged at $o.37i. and January ribs a shade lower at $4.?34.&7'4. Estimated receipts for Friday were hot posted.

Legality of Joint Purchase by City and County Authorities. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The papers of the city in recent Inter views with Controller Johnson, County Comml?sloners McGregor, Greer and Harding and members of the City Council ascer tained they were In favor of the use of voting machines. The voter3 of Indianapolis and of Indiana are earnestly asking for Immediate relief from the biennial election charges and counter charges of fraud, brib ery, miscount, mutilated and throwa-out ballots; that election Judges sat behind Inspectors and winked while said inspectors called dozens of ballots of the opposite party as having been, voted for his party; numerous ballots with the eagle or rooster cut out were cast, and that carbon-marked ballots were freely used; that voters who formerly remained away from the polls for $2 or $3 on election day now come out and vote blank ballots with a private mark known to the judge of the party buying his vote. The County Commissioners or City Council who purchase and order the use of voting machines will have their constituents strong and honest Indorsement of their declaration in favor of a correct vote and an honest count. The use of the voting machine is simple, the education of the voter to correctly operate the machine Is easy and rapid. The voter, having had m&irucuuu irom ine outsiue irom a facsimile of the keyboard of the machine, passes down the chute, clones the door, and when in the machine at ence looks for his party emblem, and if he desires to vote a straight ticket pushes in the large key to the left of the party emblem, and in the event he desires to split his- ticket pulls out the key immediately below the name of the candidate he wishes to scratch and pushes In the key immediately under the candidate of the opposite party for whom he desires to vote, and as he leaves the ma chine the door that he pushes open correctly casta and counts his vote, and no election board can review, recount or reject his vote, ana me voter has the positive certainty of the absolute secrecy of his ballot. With the use of the voting machine the charges of mutilated, mismarked, thrown out, uncounted, wTongly counted, blank and carbon ballots will cease forever. The corrupt purchase of votes is utterly Impossible, and no recounts or contests on the grounds of bought, miscounted or switched ba" ots or changed tally sheets will again occur. When the polls close at 6 o ciock p. m., as tne last voter leaves he locks the machine, the Inspector and judge unlock and expose to view the counters and the Inspector immediately announces the total vote for each candidate, which the poll clerks enter upon the poll books and return sheets', which the election board sign. In ten minutes the election is over and byi7 o'clock the result of an election in '.Marion county would be known, and by 9:30 It would without doubt be known which party had won In Indiana. As to the saving with the use of voting machines, one-half the election boards can be dispensed with and the election boards who do serve will receive but one day's pay. Now they are paid for two or three and the heavy expenses for printing, tally sheets and blanket ballots will be saved. The amount of money saved by the use of voting machines will in five or six elections pay for the machines. For Instance, the city of Rochester, N. Y., with 33,00) voters, purchased machines for the entire city, costing $30,000, and saved In the first election $5,000. As to the legality of the County Commissioners and City Council purchasing voting machines jointly for Marlon county, auch purchase would certainly be legal under the law authorizing the purchase and use of voting machines, which is as follows: "Hereafter the Board of County Commissioners of any county, the Common Council of any city, the board of trustees of any incorporated town may, by a majority vote, authorize, purchase and order the use of voting machines In any one or more precincts within said county, city or town." This law clearly authorizes the City Council to purchase and order the use of voting machines in any one or more voting precincts of the city. This same law also authorizes the County Commissioners to purchase and order the use of voting machines in any one or more voting precincts of the county. Hence, the County Commissioners and City Council can. by agreement, divide the territory in which machines are to be used, the County Commissioners naming in their order for the use of machines the wards and precincts included, and the City Council can also name in its ordinance authorizing the use of i machines the wards, with number of precincts Included therein. Taken In connection with Section 8, which is here given, the law certainly removes all doubt as to the legality of such joint action: "Said county board of election commissioners shall make rules and regulations for the care and custody of said voting machines." As suggested by County -Commissioner McGregor, the machines should be purchased and bonds Issued pas'able in series for a period of ten years, and by the time the last bond was paid the saving by the use of machines will have paid the purchase price. Including interest, with a large balance of 'accumulated savings In the county and city treasury. J. M. M'GEE. Indianapolis, Oct 2S

The receipts were smaller and the market opened with salesmen asking higher prices. The demand was a little slow at the start, but finally, with very fair competition between packers and order men, the offerings were charging hands promptly and a good clearance was made in good season. Average prices were fully 2!c above yesterday and quite a few sales were considered 6c higher.

When It comes to arresting a man under the tlag law for having a striped barber pole In front of his shop the Jealous defenders of old glory axe evidently going too far. If It comes to a legal contest the barber pole can prove a prior lien. It had its stripe? long before the flag was thought of, and we believe that It has an Inalienable right to have them red, white- and blue if It likes. This latest arrest ought to be a culmination and termination of that phase of the ilagpreservlng campaign which has brought the subject Into disrepute with many people. Otherwise men wearing red, white and blue neckties may be in danger.
