Oct. 11.—With the exception of Atlantic Gulf and West Indies, ■which made a gain of 1% to 143%. the stock market was established at a lower level In the early dealings today, losses during the first fifteen minutes ranging from fractions to over 1 point. Texas Pacific was again offered in large blocks and was forced down to 17%, compared with an opening of £O%.

(By Thomson Ac McKinnon —Oct. 11— While we had some activity in a few issues the market as a whole was ratner quiet, due mainly to the absence of many traders who have extended the usual week-end to Include tomorrow's holiday. What news we had was mainly bearish, including the most recent financial trouble in Cuba, a moderately higher money market here and continued depression in many lines of business. Each day recently professional traders have concentrated attacks on a few stocks at a time, with a view of exposing the market's weak spot and expecting thereby to bring in a renewal of liquidation. Notwithstanding this the market hss given a fjarlj good account of if6elf. It is -ttfue that values receded Where selling pressure was concentrated, but It seems unreasonable to anticipate any general liquidation at the present low levs, of values. -O The general Industrial situation is far from settled. In many lines further prica cutting is anticipated? But the stock market anticipated all this a long time ago, and It is explanation for the present level of values. STOCKS* AVERAGE. . NEW YORK, Oct. 11. —Twenty industrial stocks averaged 84.42. an increase of .20 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 83.50, a decrease of .34 per cent.

HIGHER FIGURES ON GRAIN MARKET Wheat Jumped on Report Farmers Holding Off for $3. CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Grain quotations were higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat prices Jumped up on reports that farmers were threatening to hold their grain from thO market until the price reached $3. Shorts were anxious to cover. Corn was higher on decreased country offerings. Provisions also were higher. t December wheat opening at $2, up lc and closed 7%c up. March wheat, opening up lc at $1.96%, showed a gain of another 5%c at the cloce. December corn was up %e at the opening at 80c, and closed %c higher. May corn showed a guln of %c at the opening, 89%%, and lated advanced %c. December oats opened at 56%c, up lc, and closed off %c from that figure. May oats was up %c at the opening and at the close showed a gain of %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Oct. 11Wheat—lt is expected that the Department of Agriculture will Issue an estimate of the amount of wheat marketed up to Oat. 1 This estimate if issued will have oomiiderable bearing upon the immediate action of price. Just at the present moment, the holding attitude of the Southwestern farmer furnishes the key to the tone of the market. There is no urgency in the foreign demand, but there is sufficient doing to necessitate bidding of higher premiums. Inasmuch as the present market is predicated upon the attitude of the producer rather than upon any broad and urgent demand, it is well to be open to conviction on either side. Corn—Strength in corn has been a reflection of wheat to a great extent. At the same time there is some change of ideas in the trade, on the theory thut the present movement of old corn has passed its climax. Also on tire belief that tbe demand from Eastern distributors wilt improve. The Eastern demand is not yet suttlciently large to create any strength in the cash markets, premiums for current arrivals being reduced half cent and the visible supply scoring a liberal increase. We believe tile selling side of this market Is the more' logical one. Osts—Operatlons In oats are largely of a changing character, there being buying of the May aga.nst selling 0 f the December. Stocks in Chicago elevators are liberal. Current arrivals are selling at a discount under the December, in this market, as in corn, sales seem preferable, I’rovislons—Lower hogs and complete withdrawal of packing iuterests rrom the buying side of products were the items In the provision list. Beyond a f.urty good cash trade, there ts no reason fox entering this market on tbe Investment side.

Weather conditions ■’.•ere quite favornble during the week for outdoor farm work and much vyas accomplished, although the soil Is somewhat dry in certain localities for the most efficient work along that line of operation. No killing frosts have been reported since the morning of Oct. 2. The light frosts during the past week have been beneficial to com. Not more than 20 per cent of the crop is now in danger of frost damage. Practically all will be out of the way in another week if favorable weather conditions continue. Cutting and silo filling progressed very rapidly and is nearly completed in the north part of the State. Winter wheat seeding is progressing very rapidly in the sections where flyfree dates have passed. There is much talk of cutting the acreage materially because of dissatisfaction with present prices. Soil conditions are not a* favorable as desired. Rye seeding Is progressing with wheat and quite u substantial increase in acreage is indicated because this crop withstands Hessian fly ravages better than wheat. Potatoes are being harvested in all sections of the State. Yields vary greatly, even in tile same localities, but generally the crop is fair to good, for both white and sweets. Clover seed hulling is nearly finished. Y’ields in some localities were very good, especially for Big English and Mam. mouth Red clover generally is poor. The burley crop of tobacco is very good, both in •'yield and quality, and is curing up nicely, although a little house-buru is reported. Some rust damage Is reported In the dark district. Late .varieties of apples are now being picked. Most of the commercial orchards report an excellent crop of splendid quality. exception of a few scattered cholera all lire stork Is In i^^^Kltion.

On Commission Row For the first time In the last two or three weeks the wholesalo produce mar. ket opened for the week with eompara J tively speaking no peaches on sale. There were a few scattered lots here and there, but nothing like a supply that would meet the demand. Several of the commission houses said that they had peaches ordered, but not in large lots, and the condition of the supply this morning are fair indications, commission men said, that the peach supply is about over as far as the local market is concerned. There was a lower tendency on the potato prices, but owing to the scarcity of the supply and the good demand the prices of tomatoes were tip 50 cents, with good tomatoes at $2 a bushel. Beans and onions, too, were quoted at slightly lower prices. Sweet corn is entirely off the market. Sweet potatoes were 50 cents lower at $5 a bushel and $1 a hamper. There was little change in oranges, lemons and aptiles. , There were a few slight changes downward in the price schedule of beans.

CLAIMS UNION LABOR IGNORED Machinists Union Lays Charge Against Republican Officials. Declaring that the members of the Marion County board of commissi -ners have ignored the request of Machinist Uion Local No. 161, to engage union machinists to repair and put Into shape the voting machines to be used at the coming election, M. E. Alexander, business agent of the machinists’ union of this city, today was prepared to appear again before the commissioners to ascertain definitely why the Republican members of the board were ignoring union labor. \ “I have asked the county commissioners whether they were going to use union machinists as they have done in the past, but they told me tpat the contract was let to O. E. Williamson and for me to see him,” said Alexander. Continuing he said, “I went to Williamson and he told me that he had nothing to do with engaging met. as he took those sent to him by the commlslsoners, but on going back to the commissioners they told me that Williamson engaged all of his men. “They are just passing the buck, that is all there is to It, as we generally place about twenty-two men, union men, from the machinist local to work and repair tbe machines. “At present there are several colored men working on the machines at a place near the old workhouse,’’ he said. It is understood that Williamson is a “friend” of County Auditor Leo K- Fesler and it is pointed out that political workers are being put to work on the machines. Fesler claims "“that Williamson had charge of the machines two years ago. Alexander claims that his men are experts in their lines and are qualified to work on the voting machines to assure the working order of every machine. Fesler claims that, there is no need of "expert help” at this time.
