STOCK TRADE OPENS LIGHT Steel and —TLs Demand at Sllgnt Gains. NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Although there were no wide movement in any of the important stocks during the early dealings on the stock market today, the tone was strong and there was a general disposition to buy at the levels established during the last few days. Offerings were extremely scant, however, and it was apparent that there is no opportunity to accumulate any sub stantial line of stoekg around current positions. On account of this, those concerned on the long side were disposed to proceed in a quiet manner for a time, some of them believing it most advisable to wait for the publication of the first railroad earnings for the month of September. Most of the fractional changes that took place were to higher prices. Steel stocks and some of the railroad issues were in demand at slight gains. Pittsburgh Coal made the greatest gain in the Industrials, advancing two points to 08. , The strongest stock in the railroad list was St. Louis & Southwestern preferred, which rose 2% to 44%. The market was firm throughout the morning with trading on a small scale. Most of the leading issues held around the initial high levels. Steel common crossed 89 and Baldwin sold up to 115%. All of the public utilities were In good demand at advancing prices. The St. Louis Southwestern issues featured the railway group, the common moTing up over 1 to 38, while the preferred rose 2 points to 46. The market suffered a sharp break in the early afternoon, following publication of the London dispatch saying the railway men had ordered a general strike in sympathy with the miners unless the government settled the strike by Sunday. Steel common broke over 1 point to 87%. Mexican Petroleum yielded over 4 points from the high to 188%. Pan-American Petroleum was 3 points lower at 87%. Baldwin yielded 2 points to 113%. Republic Steel sold down over 1 point to 77%. The rails were freely offered, Canadian Pacific dropping 1% to 124%; Reading 1% to 96, and St. Paul 1 point to 42. Com Products declined 1% to 80%, and Utah Copper over 1 point to 50%. There was a rise of 14 points in Associated Oil to 110 in the final dealings. Sears-Roebuck declined to 110%, off 3 from the morning high. Closing prices were t United States Steel, 88%, off %; Baldwin Locomotive, 113%, off 1%; Pan-American, 89, off %; Canadian Pacific, 124%, off 1%; Southern Pacific, 99, off %; Retail Stores. 73%, off %; Mexican Petroleum, 189%, off 2%: Nickel Plate, 64, off %; Reading, 96%, off Studebaker, 57%, unchanged. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Oct. 21— The public, as well as the professional element, have been inclined to ignore labor troubles in England and have proceeded on the theory that our market will be governed by our own national conditions, necessities and resources. There h-s been no aggressive buying movement, but a sufficient demand offset by only limited offerings to give the market the appearance of a rising tendency. Notwithstanding contradictory reports of business conditions In the steel and Iron trade, the shares of this group displayed strength, and the public utilities have recently been sharing with the railroads popular favor. In the midst of today's session the announcement was made that the strike in England is to be augmented by the railroad men, who, in sympathy with the coal workers, will stop work at the end of me week. This was followed by a moderate wave of liquidation with some recessions in value. 'jusidering the gravity of the situation, the decline that occurred was insignificant. ' <- Jo not share the apparent public Indifference. We are disposed to regard the situation in England as sufficiently serious to command the attention of all here, aDd until affairs there show some signs of clearing, unusual caution is warranted.

Liverpool, the South and local Interests sold. There was a fair amount of buying by the trade on the scale down aud also scattered covering, but this demand failed to hold prices, which sold down to a basis of 19c for December by the end of the first fifteen minutes.

The further decline of the local market is attributed to the lower prices on the outside markets, the large receipts that are being forced on the market by the fartaers who have at last seen that the era of high prices is over, and to the public sentiment that has been brewing for some lime against the prevailing high prices. Good heavy hogs generally brought sl3.2'@ 13.50. with the bulk, of them nearer the $13.23 mark than the top of the scale, and but a few bringing the top of the market, $13.50. ' Mixed, medium and light hogs generally brought around $13.23. The bulk of the sales for the way was $13.25, Receipts for the day approximated 12, 000 fresh Hogs with approximately an ad- 1 ditlonal 3,000 on sale that were left over from the trading of the Wednesday market. Trading was of a general Inature today, with most of the packers buying, although not their usual quota, and the Eastern shippers taking a good number. However, all indications of the early and forenoon trading pointed to a larg--number of hogs to be left over for the Friday market. Yet packers and shippers induced by the low prices might buy later in the duy, and cut the clearance down. Trading on the cattle market was slow, with prices aßbut steady. The market was featureless, except for the grade of poor stuff that was on 1 market. Receipts lor the day approximated 90'! fresh’ cattle, with some stale cattle left over from the market of the day before. There was a lighter demand for calves today at the opening, but Interest iiTened up a bit after the opening and prices bold about steady during the entire forenoon trviing. There were 600 calves on the market. Sheep were about steady at s4@4 50, and lambs were about steady to 25c lower with the close of the Wednesday market. Receipts for the day approximated 600. HOGS.

GRAIN MARKET CLOSED LOWER Wheat Lost 5 Cents, Corn Off, Oats About Steady. " CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Grains closed weak on the Chicago Board of Trade today, wheat futures being off as much as 5c at the close. Corn was off slightly while oats held fairly steady. Scattered offerings and good receipts, with a tendency to continue the bearish sentiment, were responsible for the decline. December wheat opened at $2.02%, down %c, and closed off 4%c; March wheat opened down %c at $1.95 and closed down 5%c. December corn at the opening of 81c was down %c and closed off lc. May corn dropped %c at the opening of 86%c and later lost %c. December oats declined %c at the opening of 53%e and at the close was up %e. May oats opened at 58%, off %, and closed down %c. Provisions closed lower. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Oct. 21Wheat—No commodity la grown or produced except to supply a demand. Therefore demand Is the essence of markets and foundation prices. The big thing In all values, at the present time is the lack of confldeoce on the part of buyers, and the very evident withholding of all purchases. It Is true that offerings of wheat, from the Southwest are Increasing, but the greatest reason for today’s decline was the extremely poor demand, cash wheat declining 12c to 15c. It is becoming more evident each day that Canada has fully supplied the domestic demand for wheat, likewise for flour. It is reported from Toront# that Canadian millers are offering flour three to six months delivery at a price equal to 20c lower for wheat. Market Is entitled to reactions from time tb time with or without reason, but it is difficult to expect any permanent enhancement of values In the race of the disturbed confidence of all buyers and in view of the Industrial situation as exhibited at the moment In England Corn -Some reaction in price was quite generally expected in the early corn market. but demand from this source was not sufficient to prevent a further decline which came In sympathy with wheat, and in response to fairly liberal receipts and no improvement in the distributing demand. Premiums in the cash market were easier. Mixed corn selling at 4%c; yellow at 5c and white at 6c ~ver the December. The wonderful weather now prevailing over the country permits pasturing livestock not only M grass, but on the new crop of winter wheat. This means material saving in farni consumption. Prices have reached a point where a little stability may appear, although it Is not to be expected that any demand of sufficient Importance to brlug about a sharp advance will appear. It must be remembered at ail times that this year's recot J breaking crop follow* tinon th* heels of a large crop last year. Therefore, the reserve* still in first hands must l;e very large. Oats—There have been no developments In oats to suggest the idea of investment. There is more or less buying because of the relative cheapment. which mayor may not prove a good reason. Accumulations in terminal elevators at Urge and deinandrii negligible. Provisions —Sharp decline In hog prices In Home market* being $1 lower, coupled with the action of grains, have been depressing influence* in provisions. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Oct. 21— WHEAT— Open. High.

RALSTON POINTS LEAGUE BENEFITS Declares Article 10 Has Been Wholly Misrepresented. Special to The Times. PORTLAND, Ind., Oct. 21.—A big part of Jay County turned out to hear Samuel M. Ralston, former Governor of Indiana, discuss the League of Nations last night. • The speaker accused the Republican senatorial cabal of misleading the people on the question or the League of Nations and declared it was up to the people to say whether they wanted a league or no league—war or no war—now that the Republican presidential candidate has come out squarely against the league and the Versailles treaty and so favored a separate peace with Germany.

“The speaker discussed the league article by article and pointed out that Article X, the misrepresented portion of the covenant, was in reality the most humane of all of them in a* much as It offered adequate protection to the weaker nations against the outlaw nations who might seek a conflict. He denied that the United States will be outvoted in the lesgue. “If this charge be tri£e, I grant tlon, but It is not true,” Mr. Ralston said. He declared the league “assembly” does not decide questions with which it deals by a majority vote, but all decisions of the assembly must be unanimous. “It Is therefore within the power of any member of the league to defeat the proposed action of all other delegates of the assembly, on any question, requiring unanimity in action. “Therefore, if our country should become a member of the league, a member or members of the assembly will have the unquestioned power to defeat any proposal put before the assembly.
