STOCK MARKET TONE UNSTEADY News of British Coal Strike Reflected in Marts. NEW YORK, Oct. IS.—Uneasiness over the British coal strike, which has caused curtailment in many Industries in England, was reflected In the opening of the stock market today. Price changes were irregular. Steel common was % higher on Initial sales at'B7%, and after advancing further to 88, dropped to 87%. Baldwin started at an advance of % to 114%. but soon had a sharp reaction. United States Rubber, on small offerings, declined, 1% to 75%. Sears-Roebuck continued In supply and ■old down 1% to 105%. The oil Issues were irregular, Mexican Petroleum dropping 1% to 188%. Royal Dutch was in fairly good demand, selling above 80. Ralls started steady, but moved off In the later dealings, Reading selling off % to 97%. There was a scant supply of stocks during the forenoon and after the early weakness the market turned strong with many issues making sharp advances. That much of the recent sealing of Sears-Roebuck has been for short account was proved when the stock during the forenoon loaned at a premium of %. On the news there was a quick rally from 105% tolOO. The market closed weak. There was free selling following reports of riots In London and practically the entire list made new lows for the Call money dropped to fl per cent, but failed to help prices. Closing prices included: United States Steel, 87%, unchanged; Baldwin Locomotive, 112%, off 1%: Pan-American, BS%, off %; Reading, 97%, off %; Studebaker, 57, off 1; Corn Products, 82%, off 2; Mexican Petroleum, 189%. off %; Union Pacific, 126%. off %; Southern Pacific, 98%, off 1; United States Rubber, 75%, off 1%; American Smelting, 58%, off 1%; Retail Stores, 72%, unchanged. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Oct. 18 — We are again in the midst of a stock market that Ignores the news. We have had during the last two years some very trying experiences In business, but at no time during that period was there more doubt than there la at this very moment. There Is an absence of activity In many lines that it could almost be classed as general, and as if our own troubles were not sufficient there has been injected the labor troubles of England, which directly concerns us because It moans an Interference with our exports. And the surprising fact la that the atoclt market la unconcerned. TUla means. If it means anything at that there la confidence In the ultimate result, confidence In the stability of our own business, confidence in the failure of England’s coal strike, confidence in the outcome of the coining presidential election, and confidence of activity to follow. Upon no other theory could we explain the stability of the stock market at this time. Furthermore investor! In our securities have the tremendous advantage of thoroughly deflated values, for the stock market did many months ago what the commodity markets are doing today. Values have been readjusted so thoroughly that the selling price of practically all securities are well below Intrinsic WOTth. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

Trading was of a general nature, with both the Eastern shippers and the local packers taking an active part. AU the hogs, or at least the principal part of the hogs, were sold during the early forenoon hours of trade. There were only 200 hogs left over from ! tho closo of the last week’s market. ! Roughs and pigs showed the greatest decline on a very poor demand, with pigs I at $14.50 and down, and roughs at $13.50 (0113.75 for the bulk. Buik of gales for tho day ran $15.35® 15 60. Trading was fairly slow on the cattle market, but prices held about steady ■ with a few good cows and hslfers among ! the 70 Orecelpts. There were about 175 I cattle left over from the Saturday mar- \ ket. Despite the slow trend of the market, | the tone was a little better than the tone j of the last Friday market, with all the ; packers In the market. Good bulls brought steady price*. Calves were about steady with the absence of a sl7 top and the nnlk of tho good to choice stuff at $15'316.50 Tho general top of the murket was $16.50.

GRAIN PRICES STILL DECLINE Volume of Trade and Large Receipts Factors. CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—Grain quotations continued to drop in trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today on a [ fairly large volume of trading. Considerable selling came into the market from Eastern, houses. Large receipts also aided in the downward trend. Provisions were lower. December wheat was off lc at the opening, $2.22, and lost another %c at the close. Openlug off l%c at $2.05%, March wheat closed down an addditlonal 3%e. December corn opened off %c and lost an additional l%c at the close. May corn, off %c at the opening, 91c, dropped another l%c. December oats was off %e at the opening, 66%c, and lost an addditlonal %c. May oats, after dropping l%e at the openlug, lost %o additional at the close. —Oct. 18— (By Thomson ft McKinnon.) Wheat—Developments of the day In the wheat situation curry the Idea of lower prices ultimately, but for the time being the yare offset by the extremely small receipts and decrease In Chicago elevator stocks . Demand very slow from exporters. Canadian wheat offering at lowest premiums on the crop, together with reports of increased offerings In the Northwest, have been the Items which suggest a possibility of lower prices later. Current arrivals show strength because of their small volume. Hard winter wheat is selling at 9c over December and red winter Is held at 22c over. The action of the market for the being depends o nthe volume of offerings by the country depends also upon whether or not our Government will impose a duty on Importations of wheat. Corn —Closing down of corn Industries, together with the action of cotton and other commodities, have shaped sentiment in corn. .Market has been helped to some extent by a little foreign demand. Apparently this demnuil 1 confined to white corn, as it Is reported that Argentine corn Is unsalable at the United States seaboard and Is being reshipped to Europe. Total stock of corn In Chicago Is liberal, but It is understood that a Tittle over 1,000,000 bushels U under contract for shipment by lake. It Is also believed the present movement is a cleaning up of accumulations on railroad tracks. The size of the crop, together with the treud of prices In commodities generallv, should prevent any maintained strength in corn prices, j Oats—The situation In oats can be die- . covered from the visible supply, which ! exhibits another goodly Increase. The stock In Chicago la more than one-thlrd or the entire visible supply. This In Itself will work against any pronounced strength In the market and should also tiring about better carrying charges than now exist. We still feel that the selling side offers better opportunities. I’rovUlons—Weakness of hogs and the absence of any Important buying were the Item# In the provision list. The fortign trade was not as brisk as recently. Still cheaper bogs are expected. CHICAGO GRAIN. ’ —Oct. 18WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Court Action to Get Ticket on Ballots A mandamus suit was filed In Superior Court this afternoon by representatives of the Socialist-Labor party to compel the State board of election commissioners to pltu-o the names of candidates of that party on the ballots in Marlon County. The board recently refused to accept the petition of the party because of technical errors In the petition. The party would be the eighth In Marlon County and the acceptance of Its list of candidates probably would mean the abandonment of the use of voting machines can carry the names of

LLOYD GEORGE’S HOME ATTACKED BY THOUSANDS (Continued From Page Two.)

to reach the premiere's residence. At the head of Downing street, they encountered the police, who numbered about 300. constables club MEN IN CROWD. Repulsed In their effort to penetrate the cordon, the marchers rushed the constables, who drew their batons and clubbed several men in the crowd. The main body of demonstrators marched around Whitehall, singing and shouting jibes at Prime Minister Lloyd George, who w*i>.s presumed to be In his residence behind the police cordon. The mob made a second effort to gmush through the police cordon. , This time football tactics were used by the rioters. w<ho charged the police repeatedly. Policemen were toppled from their horses. Others were seized by the riotors and dragged to the ground. Unable to hold their own against the police who came on again and again, In spite of the stoning to which they were subjected, the crowd' began to give way and swarm out of the area of fighting. Its flight was hastened by the confusion caused by maddened horses who had lost their riders, plunging and kicking among them. Fire engines were called out to assist the police and to guard against incendiarism among the government buildings in the district. Practically all the windows In the government buildings In Downing and Whitehall were broken. When the mob had been driven away, ambulances entered the area and began carrying away the wounded, who had been left as they fell or carried Into Downing street. While the riot was at its height. Premier Lloyd George was in conference with fifteen mayors of Londqn boroughs on problems raised by the strike. Seaports ore becoming congested as a result of the miners' strike. There were 700 "cssels tied up at Cardiff alone: no coal for bunkers; no cargo In the holds. No ship# docked here last week expecting to take back thp usual cargo of coal. That was prevented by the export embargo Issued the moment tho miners let It be known they Intended to strike. It was believed many ships will leave the ports In ballast, getting away before the situation becomes too serious. The possibility of a general labor upheaval Is admitted. The first Indication such as might be Intended by the workers came in the announcement yesterday of the Council of Scottish Railway Workers: “The railway men of Scotland are prepared to cease work at noon tomorrow i in support of the miners,” that organl- j zatlon telegraphed the miners’ executives. APPREHENSIVE OVER SCOTTISH DECISION. There was a fear the Scottish decision might determine railway men here to, leave their work before they are forced ; out of employment by a coal shortage, j Robert Hmlllie, president of the Min- ; era’ Federation, made the first of his appeals to the fighting spirit of his men In a speech last night In Larkhall, Scotland. “The government plans to use all Its power to defeat us,’’ he said. The Government was well prepared for the strike. Plans had been completed for transportation of food and other necessities i ami schedules for users of coal were mode public. Claims that Parliament can settle the strike within a week If It chooses were advanced, giving the press hope something might develop along that line. A majority of the 25,000 transport workers In London are said to favor a strike, not only In sympathy with the; miners, but to enforce their own de- ; mand. STRIKE MAY BE BOOS TO AMERICA WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.-The strike of British coal miners. If long continued, will deal a severe blow to world shipping and shipping commerce, according to shipping experts here today. American shipping, it Is said, will feel 1 the effects of the strike less than any j other nation, nud this N’atton actually : may gain ocean-carrying trade at the expense of other nations. The lack of coal for bunkering ships will be one of the first effects of the strike. The United Stales is In a more favorable position than other nations for fuc-i to run her ships because a large percentage of American ships are oil burning and this country will have ptenty of coal for her own coal-burning vessels.

ORBISON WARNS AGAINST GINGER Says Druggists of State Are Violating Statute. Following reports that druggists throughout the State have been purchasing and retailing large quantities of Jamaica ginger, Charles J. Orblson, Federal prohibition director for Indiana, today wrote a letter of warning to druggists. "Jamaica ginger can only be sold lawfully for strictly medicinal use,” the letter states. "An ounce or two at the most is all that should be sold to any customer and It Is not necessary to carry a large stock on band.” Information which Director Orhison has received reveals that in some cases the druggists have ordered as high as five to ten barrels of the drug at a time since the first of the year. “Certainly a vast quantity could not be disposed of in a legitimate way,” It was stated. The warning not to permit any traveling salesman to load up a drug store with a large stock of Jamaica ginger, and If urged to buy in large quantities to advise the prohibition director’s office of the facts, was included In the letter. It Is concluded that Jamaica ginger Is being used for beverage purposes. Druggists defend themselves with the statement that there is a large profit In the drug, but have not explained the cause of so large a market for the product. REPUBLICANS MAKE CHANGES Several Precincts Will Not Have Use of Voting Machines. The Republican members of the Marion County Board of Election Commissioners today made numerous changes regarding the placing of the voting machines on election day. Commissioners Richard Slpe and Jackson Carter, both Republicans, decided to compel the voters of the following precincts to vote on Australian ballots; Sixth precinct of the Fifth ward; Fifth of the Sixth; Second of the Twelfth; Third of Lawrence; Fourth of Perry; Second of Washington; Fifth of Wash, lngton; First of Center, outside; First of Decatur; Second of Decatur, and Thirteenth of Wayne.
