STOCK MARKET IS IMPROVING IN MANY LINES Tendency Is for Bettei*ment, From Standpoint of Sentiment and Price. CRUDE OIL ADVANCES Special to Indiana Daily T*mea and Philadelphia Public Ledger. by monitor. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Stock market conditions have shown no striking change in the past week. . The tendency still is toward improvement, both from the standpoint of price and sentiment. No one has paid much attention to evidences of scattered liquidation in certain pool stocks, and the liquidation that has developed in certain industries and certain companies, as for example the sugars, has been taken as a matter of course. There has been far more disposition to attach fundamental importance to indications of improvement, as lor instance, the advances in the price of crude oil, the moderate gains in the steel Industry and the effect of the growing case and abundance of money on the investment market. In fact thirf latter development has been quite pronounced in the last week. Some of the Liberty issues have worked up to a yield basis of 414 per cent compared with approximately G% per cent only a few months ago. Bargains are disappearing rapidly from the list of gilt-edged bonds, for the persistent and insistent buying by investors, institutions and individuals alike, has raised them to a price where the return is not nearly as attractive as it was a’ short time ago. It is believed the next development in the situation will be a drift toward the more desirable preferred stocks, some of which already have begun to reflect the tendency in this direction, CRUDE oir. MAKES ADVANCE. From the standpoint of the stock market, the outstanding development of the week has been the advance in the price of Pennsylvania crude oil. The falling off in the Mexican Production, as well as imports from that country, put refiners still more on their Inquiry for domestic petroleum. Stocks of oil now stand about one month's production above the reserves of last year at this tfme. a rather insignificant gain in view of the talk of over-supply and falling off in demand. The sham reduction in the amount of new wells now being brought in augers all for an immediate replenishment of supply. No one expects the present situation to result in anything more than a gradual hardening in the prices of domestic oil shares, but it is believed the basis laid for a very strong market in the petroleum issues in the course of a few months. The street is looking forward with considerable curiosity to the report on the nnfilled tonnage of the United States Steel Corporation which will be issued tomorrow. The expectation is for an increase, and estimates range all tt? way from 65,000 to IOO.CfOO tons. It is reported In some quarters that demand for structural steel is increasing, and the gain in buiiding operations reported throughout all parts of the country, except the Northwest, tend to bear out the impression of increasing activity. COPPER SITUATION IS IMPROVING. One notable feature from a stock market standpoint this week, has been the increasing firmness and activity of the copper shares. Unofficial but fairly authentic figures place the monthly consumption and exports of copper at about 300.000.000 pounds, while production is now running on a basis of 55,000,000 to 60,000,0 pounds. The continued curtailment with the increased demand is gradually stablizing the copper situation an.l laying the basis for renewed activity at a more profitable price level. The largest clouds on the horizon are represented by the European situation, the financial position of Germany and its unfavorable reflex in Holland, to say nothing of disturbed economic conditions in Great Britain. An echo of the British coal strike made iis appearance this week in the form of a brief lock-out of Welsh miners. The dispute was adjusted temporarily, but the in%dcnt gives some idea of the unsettled state ©f affairs in the industry of the United Kingdom. More and more it is being borne home to us that there can be no certain improvement or stable prosperity in the United . fates while financial and economic conditions in Europe are in a state bordering on crisis.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

NO DAMAGE DONE BY FIRST FROSI Hog Cholera Less Extensive Than Last Week. The first killing frost which occurred on the oth of this month, rlid no serious damage to the corn eroi> of the State, according to the weekly crop report issued today by George C. Bryant, agricultural statistician to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Hog cholora. which has been the chief object of attention to the hog grower for the past two weeks or more, is less extensive than at this time last week, the report states. The report in full follows: “Heavy rains during the first part of last week retarded outdoor farm work to some extent. The first killing frost occurred Oct. 5, and caused no damage to speak of. “Corn cutting and silo filling hare practically been completed. Ear worm and chinch bugs are still doing some damage. The heavy frost on the sth will hasten curing. “Wheat seeding is practically completed in the northern half of (he State and is progressing rapidly in the southern half. Corn is down badly in some localities and interfering with the work. Most counties will have less acreage than last year. • “Considerable more rye will be sown than last year. Farmers seem to think this crop withstands insect ravages better than wheat. "Late potatoes are being harvested. Yields generally are very light, although good yields are reported fron a few localities. “Meadows and pastures continue exceptionally good. Young clover looks splendid. Clover seed is very poor and thrashers are hesitating to go into fields except on an acre basis of pay. “Some house burning is reported on tobacco, but this is not extensive. The crop generally is of good quality. “The commercial crop of'apples is very small. Considerable more cider has been made this year than usual. . “Hog cholera is raging in some localities, but is not quite as extensive as last week. Other stock generally are in good condition. “The supply of farm labor continues to be plentiful, according to reports from various sections of the State. "Hogging off corn will be considerably more extensive this season than hereto- • fore.’’ CHICAGO PRODUCE.

OBLS FEATURE ST6CK MARKET B’urns Brothers Lose Over 3 Points in Late Forenoon. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Price movements were somewhat irregular at the opening of the stock market today, but changes in the majority of issues were confined to fractions. The low priced oil scares made fractional gains. Mexican Petroleum, after selling up to 95%, had a quick drop to 94. General Asphalt sold above 55. Union Pacific'dropped over 1 point to 1.21%. while Canadian Pacific rose 1 point to 1.13%. Studebaker, ifter selling up to 72%, fell to 71%. Steel common made a small gain to 79%. Baldwin Locomotive rose % of a point to 87%. Continued strength in the oil shares was the principal feature of the forenoon trading. Houston Oil rose 1% points to 65. California Petroleum sold up 7% points to 41%, and Pierce Oil preferred rose 1% points to 44%. Standard Oil of New Jersey sold up 1% points to 48. Cosden. Union Oil and Sinclair were also in demand Mexican Petroleum rallied to 95%. Burns Brothers was in supply, falling over 3 points.

(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Oct. 10— The general volume of business continues moderate and there is nothing at the moment that is likely to make any material change in this respect. The cause for this may be directly traced to legislation program at Washington, where a number of important measures are being delayed, such as matters of taxation and the plan for funding the railroads’ accounts with the Government. This low the effect of delaying the financial plans, as well as business expansion. The railroad is waiting on the Government and the equipment companies are waiting on the raitroud. the steel company is w : aiting on the equipment company and labor waiting on them all. In the meantime the market is hesitating. The declines do not extend far because values, with but few exceptions, are very low and the bulges do not go far because of the uncertainty referred to. More recently, the oils have been the most active issues, but Mexican Petroleum and its parent company, the PanAmerican, has been notable exceptions, and these stocks have been in liberal supply on the bulges. The motors have acted poorly and there is considerable doubt here as to the future dividend policy of the Chandler Company. The rails are in demand at frequent intervals. Missouri Pacific preferred has been the most prominent in this respect, while Lehigh Y’aiiey has been favorite with that element who are fond of stock dividends and the prospect in this case in a bright one, subject only to the ultimate approval of the courts. YY'e see nothing new in the general situ ation and we are ir. lined to the opinion that while stocks cae lie bought on the reactions profits should be accepted on moderate bulges, as no move of consequence is likely at this time.

EXPORT DEMAND . FOR GRAIN SMALL Receipts Are Heavy—Prices Continue Weak. CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—Grain quotations continued weak on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Export sales were small and receipts were heavy. Provisions were irregular. December wheat opened up l%c at sl.ll and closed up %e. May* wheat opened up l%c at $1.15% and at the close gained %e. December corn, after opening up %o, closed down l%c. May corn opened up %e at 53%c and'flosed oft l%c. December oats opened up %c at 33%c and closed off %c. May oats opened up %e at 38%c and closed down %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Oct. 10Wheat—Saturday's crop report, a sharp advance in sterling exchange and strength in YVinnipeg market in the face of heavyreceipts have given an undercurrent of strength to the wheat market. It Is claimed that farmers, both here and in Canada are slow sellers. Outside of this there is no change in the underlying situation. The export demand fs just us poor as at any time, except that there is a Pacific coast demand for the Orient. English country markets are weak, thrashing returns showing better than expectations, in some instances uncovering a yield of sixty to seventy bushels per acre. The visible supply figures are not completed. For your better understanding of these figures we want to say that St. Joseph stocks of 1,127,0,00 bushels have been added as an increase of, the total. Asa matter of fact this total in St. Joseph is 185,000 bushels smaller than a week ago. Milling demand for choice wheat in all markets is good, with selections considerably higher. There is a growing inclination, either in the way of outright friendliness to the market or in the way of expecting a temporary rally from the present levels. It may be well to modify ideas of lower prices, but at the same time there should lie no pronounced strength unless perchance the buying by foreigners becomes decidedly more pronounced than at present. Corn and Oats—Not only is there no improvement in the shipping demand for corn, but the investment demand for the deferred deliveries has practically dlsappeared. Therefore, prices have beef) sensitive to hedging sales. The first movement of new corn is about to start and it is expected to be of poor quality, therefore, not in demand. Lack of elevator space wlil further restrict the demand* for current receipts. Oats have encountered buying which appears to be for leading cash interests. Outside of this the mnrket offers nothing new. Provisions- An advance in hog prices Induced a little short covering in products, but beyond this the demand has been very poor. Further liquidation in October lard has appeared. There is a fair demand for fresh meats, but no improvement has been noted in the foreign demand.

HEART BALM FOUND IN OIL Girl Drops Suit on Assurance of Wealth. DENY’ER, Oct. 10.—Miss Lucille Nemie, pretty Denver girl, forgot all about her broken heart, and the $23,000 "balm’’ required to mend it when she “struck it rich” in Oklahoma oil lands, and secured dismissal of a breach of promise suit against J. Howard Stark, wealthy Denver jeweler. The siut was dismissed by Judge J. C. Morley, in district court, upon the plaintiff's agreement to pay all court costs. Miss Nemic filed her suit against Stark early in 1920, and a flutter of excitement followed in smart social circles here when she admitted, during the course of a preliminary hearing, that she had been “friendly” with several prominent Denver men besides Starke. She denied, however, that this “friendship” was other than platonic. Questions asked by Starke’s attorneys in the preliminary hearing indicated that sensational testimony involving persons socially prominent might have been expected if the suit had come to trial. Recently, it is reported, oil in valuable commercial quantities ha3 been discovered on lands sin Oklahoma owned Jointly by Miss Nemic and her parents, and the pretty plaintiff decided to abandon her chase for heart-balin—and the accompanying punitive damages.

BLUE BULGARS PUT HIGH TAX ON SHORT SKIRTS LONDON, Oct. 10.—If one wants to be a belie or a sivell in the city of Bustchuk one has to pay for it. One may remember Rustehuk from the war nexvs. It is a flourishing town on the Bulgarian side of the blue Danube. The Roumanians crossed the river and took it one day. Two or three days later the Bulgarians cut off the fresh Roumanians and killed or captured all except a few who escaped by swimming back to the Roumanian side. Now many of the best society folks in Rustehuk wish the Roumanians had kept the town forever. They see no fun in blue laws that force them to pay heavy taxes for wearing anything but overalls and ginghams and threaten to convert Rustehuk’s most stylishly-dressed women into milkmaids, so far as clothes are concerned. The farmer government of the Province of Rustehuk has just enacted new legislation, telling the city folks in Rustehuk how to dress and how to act. The farmer majority says that it Is only trying to discourage extravagance and make the town dandies, male and female, bear the cost of government. The Rustehuk city folios say the new dress edict is only one episode in the tight between the peasant farmers of Bulgaria und the middle class of the cities, a peculiar form of warfare that followed the signing of peace and resulted in t v e establishment of a peasant cabinet under Premier Stambouliski, a burly farmer. A Rustehuk girl may wear her skirts ns short as she pleases—if she has the mazuma. But every girl whose skirt stops thirteen inches from the ground must pay 509 leva into the provincial treasury. After she has paid the 500 leva the sky is the limit, so far es the length of her skirt goes. If she carries a parasol she must pay 50 leva. Handtago are even more immoral and render the possessor liable to a tax of 2(0 leva. Earrings and necklaces publicly worn cost a tax of 300 leva. There is no tax on an ordinary wedding, but the gay couple that start married life with music nt the altar must pay 500 leva. Even a baby carriage is a luxury in the eyes of the Rustehuk farmer legislators and the owner must pay 200 leva. The horny-handed riustchuk soil tillers see no reason why any one should wear gloves, except to keep the hands warm. It is, therefore, provided that any person sporting gloves between the dates of April 13 and Sept. 15 must obtain a special license, costing 200 leva. To swagger about with a cane you must pay 100 leva, and there are still higher taxes for carrying watch charms or wearing finger rings. The possession of a pet dog is taxed 500 francs, and owners of private carriages or motor cars pay from 500 to 1,000 leva. The city dwellers are trying to have the legislation repealed. They say it is only designed to place the whole burden of taxation on the shoulders of the town folk. They say that if the Rustehuk provincial Legislature is sincere it will lay n heavy tax on swearing, drinking and wife-beating—virtues, according to the city dwellers, particularly characteristic of the Rustehuk farmers.

HOOVER TO ASK CUTS V* IN RAIL RATES, WAGES WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The National Unemployment Conference, resuming its sessions today after a ten-day recess, will be asked by Secretary of Commerce Hoover to recommend reductions in both railroad rates and wages, as one of the permanent measures for relieving unemployment. | Hoover, who is guiding the conference, has come to Jhe conclusion that the business depression can not be relieved permanently until railroad rates are brought down from their high level. Railroad executives assert rate reductions are impossible under present operating costs and that wages must be cut. Hoover Is hopeful an agreement can be reache 1 through the conference to cut rates and wages simultaneously, CONFERENCE IN CRITICAL STAGE. The conference admittedly is entering its “critical period.” Representatives of capital are insisting that the march back towards prosperity is being held up by refusals of various groups of laborers to accept wage cuts. Organized labor, in conferences held during the last week, asserted capital has not shaken off “the war profiteering habit ” Price cuts can be made without inducing wages, labor holds. Hence interest at the conference is centered on whether a recommendation for wage cuts can lie pushed through. Samuel Gompers already has opposed several proposals along this line which have been submitted to the conference. Some organized labor leaders are ready to bolt tbe conference if the questions of reduced wages, the open shop and other controversial questions are pressed before the conference. WORKS LOR SETTLED ® MINE CONDITIONS. Meanwhile, Hoover is working to bring about settled conditions in the coalmining industry, dApite the refusal of John Lewis and other United Mine YY'ork-. ers’ leaders to agree to arbitrate the question of wage reductions when the national wage agreement under which union miners in the central competitive field are not work, expires next March. 4 Thirty-one cities have notified the conference of action taken to cooperate with it in its emergency recommendations. Hoover announced that many cities have inaugurated public works programs to prevent suffering this winter.
