STOCK MARKET TONE HEAVY First Losses Soon Recovered —Little Interest in Rails. NEW YORK. Oct. 19.—Th® room traders followed the expected course which they asserted they would take after the close yesterday, and this element offered stocks at the opening of the stock market today, causing a heavy tone In the trading, but there was no other supply and it was not long before losses wera quickly recovered. Steel common, which sold down to 87%, rallied to 87% before the end of the first fifteen minues. Baldwin made a gain of % to 113%, •nly a few transactions in that stock being made. Little interest was shown in the railroad situation. -Baltimore & Ohio yielding % to 47%, while New York Central, after selling at 80%, moved up to 81%. Reading common selling extra dividends, rose % to 96%. Canadian Pacific dropped % to 124% and then rallied to 125. Mexican Petroleum ranged between 189% to 190%. Sears Roebuck rose % to 109. The market displayed strength in the late forenoon with business on an extremely small scale. Steel common rose nearly 1 point from the low to 88 and Baldwin Locomotive recovered to 114. Reading, from a low of 96%, rose to 97%, and New York Central was active, advancing nearly 2 points to 82%. Caddo Oil was another active feature moving up 1% to 20%, while Mexican Petroleum, after selling at 191, yielded to 180%. Royal Dutch moved up 1% to 78%. There was little doing in the motor or copper shares. The stock market closed strong. Closing prices were: United States Steel_Bß, up %; Mexican Petroleum 191%, up 1%; Reading 97%, up %: Southern Pacific 99%, up %; Baldwin Locomotive 113%, up %; Pan American S9, up %; Nickel Plate 65. up 3%; Studebaker 57, unchanged: Canadian Pacific 125%, up %; Retail Stores 74, up 1%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —OCT. 19— Today’s session In stocks was marked by dullness. There seemed to be an entire lack of interest in commission houses. The professionals were not very active. One explanation for this is that they are already committed to the short side, and are probably awaiting further developments that might promise liquidation on the part or the public. The public 'at present is not disposed to follow the market on any large scale because conditions are very uncertain. Not only have we an unsatisfactory state of trade here, but England presents a serious problem at this time, fully as important to us as it is to the people there. Money has turned easier and will likelv continue in the direction toward normal, though with occasional flurries such as we experienced last week. Theoretically, the present unsatisfactory state of trade should be reflected in decreased volume of business for the railroads, but up to the present time there has been no indication of a falling off in railroad tonnage, and it is Just possibie that this may be due to seasonal reifuTfements. and the shrinkage may be felt later on. There is certainly nothing at this time to create any market enthusiasm, though it is generally maintained that following the presidential election we may expect a general rerival of confldeni'e and business, a-i ( j this is counted upon to give ua an ultimately higher market.

In the Cotton Markets

NEW YORK. Oct. 19.—The cotton market opened active and much stronger today, initial quotations being 10 to 76 ppoints net higher. The upturn was due to very strong cables ami a more hopeful outlook, according to private messages for a settlement of the strike of British coal miners. Cables also mentioned buying by Man-chester-and a better lnauiry for the spot articles as factors at Liverpool. Although local prices did not fully reflect the gains abroad, it was due to selling by New Orleans and Southern hedge selling. December rose 45 points over the lowest opening levels after the call, but hit heavy offerings from the South and reacted 30 points from the top, still being about 55 points net higher at the end of the first twenty minutes. New York cotton opening: October. 19 00c; December. 18.30 c; January, 18.27 c; March. 1835 c; May, 18.20 c; July, 18.05 c; August. 17 90c; September, 17.95 c.

The flood of stuff that was rushed to the market is believed to bo caused by a sentiment among the farmers that the stage of high prices is over, which thej take as an opportune time to unload their hogs on the market. It is believed by some commission men that this flood of stuff may continue fur some time unless there Is another upward movement of prices. The clearance of the market of the day before was fair at less than 600 stale hogs for today's market, but Indications were that there would be a large number of hogs left over from today’s trading. Good heavy hogs generally brought [email protected], with a top of sls, and a few that sold outside the market at $15.25. but that number wag very few. Good medium stuff brought close to $14.75, and lights [email protected]. Roughs were about steady with the Monday market at $15.75 and down, and pigs were off. selling at $13150. The bulk of sales for the early and forenoon trading was $14.75. Trading on the cattle market was slow with the exception of lively movement among buyers who wanted canners, and the prices for the early and forenoon trading were about steady for the stuff that was sold, but there were indications which would lead one to believe that there might be lower prices before the close of the market. Trndlng in bulls, cows, heifers and steers was slow, with a slightly lower tendency in prices. Receipts P-r the day approximated 800. with some stale stuff of the day before. To all probability a goodly number of the receipts of today will be held over for the M’ednesday market. There was an exceedingly dull tone to the trading in the calf market, and prices were down.

GRAIN MARKET CLOSES LOWER Heavy Selling in Wheat Forces Decline of 7 Cents. CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Gains closed lower on the Chicago board of trade today. Sentiment was extremely bearish, heavy selling forcing a drop of 7c at the day’s low. Reports that the Kansas banking commission were urging farmers to sell their wheat influenced the selling movement. December wheat opened at $2.07%, down 3%c and closed off 2%c. March wheat opened off l%c at $2.00% and closed down 6c. December corn opened down %c at 85%c and closed off 2%c. May corn off %c at the opening of 89%c and closed down 2c. December oats opened at 55%c, down He and closed down l%c. May oats was off %c at the opening or 60%e and closed down l%c. Provisions closed lower. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Oct. 19— Wheat country both Southwest and Northwest together with an absence of foreign demand, have been the underlying factors in wheat. Contributory influences have been the weakness in foreign exchange, slow demand for flour and continuation of declining tendency in commodities, generally, wheat producers are. naturally dissatisfied with the decline in prices and much is said of the determination to withhold their surplus, hut these statements and this attitude are vitiated by the increased offerings from the country. Market is likely to be irregular and will probably experience many reactions as long as accumulations In this market are as small as at present, but as there is no evidence of any world's shortage and as there seems a widespread return of prices to a conservative level, it is not well to entertain Ideas of investment. Corn —The slowing down of demand for corn products and their attendant closing of many industries have been active in shaping prices today. Domestic distributing demand has flattened out again and the recent export business has disappeared. There ure many who feei that the decline from the high prices prevailing during the summer has been too rapid. On this theory there is more or less expectation of a reaction. Much reactions may appear from time to time, but the reduction In the number of animals on feed, the prolonged period pasturage and the reduced demand from commercial sources together with the overwhelming surplus, should make all reactions temporary and unimportant. Oats Elevators interests have been sellers of December oats, which suggests purchases of the cash article from the country. The tone of this market is heavy because of the large accumulations and the insignificant demand from distributor*. Reactions as they appear should b# opportune spots for selling. l'rovlsion®—M’eak bog market, action of grains and the European situation have been Important In provision list. There Beems to be a slowing down of the recent cash trade, as packing interests do not appear as buyers. CHICAGO DRAIN. —Oct. 10— M'llEAT— Open. High. Low. Uloae.

CLARIS ADAMS NEGLECTS DUTY TO ELECTIONEER (Continued From Page One.) the school board, but no member appeared to have the least Idea that the Marion County grand jury would do its duty to the community by Investigating th© affair. Clarence E. Crippen, president of the board, said: I think the board certainly will want to Investigate such a thing as this. I, for one, will want to investigate anything like that going on on school property. This is the first I have heard of anything of the kind, but I’m sure that no school official knew anything about it or had anything to do with it. I regard the publicity going with any such affair as this as unfortunate for the schools. Charles L. Barry said: “I’m glad to hear about this. I’d be very much in favor of an investigation to get to the bottom of this affair. I think the reporter who knows about this should come before the board at its meeting. Personally, I'd like to see him appear and tell us what he knows, and if there is such a nefarious use of school grounds going on it should be stopped at once. William D. Allison said: This is the first I have heard of such a matter, but, of course, It should be looked into. Julia B. Tutewlier, the one womkn on the board, said: You people are doing a good work in finding out these things and letting the people know it. The conditions are a shame and I most certainly think there should be an investigation. It wasn't one of oar Janitors, was It? An attempt to call the attention of Mayor Charles W. Jewett to the open law violation in the city revealed that he was spending the day at his hog farm preparing for a Bale. Whoever answered the telephone at his |f/rm refused to call the mayor away from his hogs. Superintendent E. U. Graff of the public schools sidestepped the question of 1 the propriety of using Shortridge High 1 School as a bootlegging basis with a statement typical of Republican officei holders whose neglect of duty has been j criticised. He said I do rot see that Shortridge High School, as such, has any connection at all with the charge that it is being used as a cache for liquor by a bootlegger. Unless in times of emergency, such as might cause damage to the buildings, there is no arrangements made for special police. We depend on the regular city policeman who patrols the beat in that vicinity to protect the school's Interests. Usually a special police guard is not needed, and under ordinary circumstances I see n oceed for policing the buildings. I am not certain whether a night watchman or janitor is employed to look after the Inside of the buildings. Prowlers about the school premises are hard to control when such action takes place at night, and unless it is proven that the liquor cache is Inside of one of the buildings Shortrltlge High School can hardly be implicated. Charles J. Orblson, prohibition director, whoso administration of that Fed- ! erul office has been marked by indifference to complaints, the illegal disappearance of quantities of confiscated liquor and a great deal of mutual admiration betweeen lax officials and the director, does his best to excuse the inefficiency of the officeholders -villi whom he hobnobs at the expense of the Fed- \ eral Government. Mr. Orblson is well acquainted with the conditions in Indianapolis, having at various times in his life visited many j of the places described in The Times. He says: “The same thing Is hapenlng in any number of cities. “I believe the local police and the morals squads have been honestly seeking to rid the city 'of these offenders. “Further than that I have no comments to make.” Marriage Licenses William Mendenhall. 274 Burgess ave. 31 Verna Sweeunau, 31 N.

STRIFE SHAKES LEAGUES OVER NEW TRIBUNAL (Continued From rage Six.) were invited to participate m the meeting here, but taking their cue from Johnson, who said he did not regard such a meeting as opportune until the grand Jury has completed its probe of baseball dishonestly, they refrained from attending. Those who were present and signed the agreement were: G. W. Grant, for Boston; Charles 11. Ebbets, for Brooklyn; Charles A. Stoneham, for New York; William F. Baker, for Philadelphia; Barney Dreyfuss, for Pittsburgh; August Herrmann, for Cincinnati; William Breadon, for St. Louis, and William L. Veeek, for Chicago, all of the National League, and Charles A. Comiskey, for Chicago; Jacob Ruppert, for New York, and Harry Frazee, for Boston of the American League. If the minority parrv nolds out and the new twelve-club circuit is formed, Chicago. New York and Boston will have the unique situation of having two clubs in one major ieague organization. The twelfth city In the circuit —since but eleven are represented by the magnates at the meeting—is to be decided upon later. Abrogation of the national agreement under which the major and minor leagues have operated since 1902 was approved by the magnates. Therefore the structure of organized baseball that has supported the sport for nearly twenty years already, by a vote of the majority of major league magnates, has been torn down. The "Lasker plan," as approved by the magnates, provides for the establishment of a board of control composed of “three men of national repute,” none to be in any way financially interested in basebail. This board will nave control and authority over every phase of the national game, having power to discipline club owners as well as managers and players. The chairman will be paid $25,000 per vear and will be required to devote all his time to baseball. The other two members will receive SIO,OOO each per year, but will be required to devote only such time as is necessary to the affairs of the board. The club owners will meet in Chicago again on Nov. 8, by which time it will be known If the verdict is to be war or peace. After this meeting the major league magnates will go to Kansas City to present their plan to the annual meeting of the minor leagues there Ndv. 9. GRIFFITH CALLS 'EM CUT THROATS WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Clark Griffith, part owner and manager of the Washington American League Baseball Hub, expressed his disapproval of the meeting of the baseball magnates in Fhicago last night in no uncertain terms here today. “Talk is cheap” said Griffith, “and some of the men that attended this meeting and talked the most are the most responsible for the present unsatisfactory condition of organized baseball. Take President John* Heydler of the National League, for instance. He is one of the biggest failures in baseoall. ll he had taken hold of the Chase case two years ago and cleaned it up we would not have had the present trouble. “We are for reorganization, but w want it accomplished in the right manner. This meeting was not called In the right spirit. It was a forced meeting called by belligerents who wanted to clean out Ban Johnson. The Washington Baseball Cluo wants to wait for the grand jury to finish with the present case and then proceed to reorganize along proper lines.” Griffith said he did not wish to convey the impression that he or his clnb was lining ur> on the side of Ban Johnson in the controversy. “But.” said Griffith, “we are not going In with a lot of cutthroats and help them grind their axes.” DETROIT, Oct. 19.—Frank J. Navtn. president of the Detroit American League Baseball Club, is not in sympathy with the movement inaugurated at the meeting of baseball magnates in Chicago last night. In commenting upon reports of the Chicago meeting Navln made the following statement: “If reorganization of major league baseball Is desired, action should be deferred until the United States Court es Appeals decides whether or not baseball. in its present state, is a trust. “Should the Court of Appeals decide that baseball is a trust it will be impossible to have an organization on the old lines. At present, with the decision pending, the majors do not know just where they stand, particularly in relation to the matter of minor leagues. We do not know whether the minors can be part of the major organizations or whether they must be entirely independent. If "a court decision demolish t§ the present form of organization all the ■work now planned will go for naught. “Also I thiuk that the majors should wait until the grand Jury In Chicago completes its work. The present action looks very much like a political proposition.” Coast Scandal Probe on With Borton on Stand I.OS ANGELES, Oct. 19.—W. Baker (Babe) Borton. former member of ths Vernon team of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, was the erst witness Monday before the county grand jury in its investigation of alleged irregularities In the league during the 1919 season.
