SPECIALTIES ON N. Y. ’CHANGE SHOW STRENGTH Railroad Strike Situation Has Good Effect on Stoek Market. OILS HOLD LEAD IN RISE Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.—The stock market, although showing an increase in acti y, displayed strength chiefly among th specialties. The most striking advance of the day was scored by Pacific Oil, which advanced 3 points on a large turnover. Its affiliated company, Associated Oil, also advanced to about the same extent. Other issues in this group which were strong, were Union Oil anrl Standard Oil of California. The steels were helm-d by expectation of a favorable Bethlehem statement and United States Steel closed a fraction above 60. The stimulating news of the day, of course, was provided by the more favorable turn in advices concerning the railroad strike. The firm stand of the labor board carried the conviction in most quarters that an actual walkout would not take place, as it would be in defiance of Governmental authority and in the face of public sentiment. The rails as a rule held steady, but advances were fractional or barely over a point. Nevertheless, the undertone In this group was firm. Some improvement in traffic is reflected in the decrease of more than 23,000 in the number of idle cars. Aside from the relief that the railroad strike would not occur, sentiment in a..' markets was more or less confused. Commodities particularly showed decided irregularity. Wheat closed somewhat lower. Coton oiened off and then advanced. The only exhibition of a decided tendency was in the coffee market where a sharp advance took p'ace.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

WAUL street gossip by monitor. Interest in the trading was divided between the proceedings at Chicago and the statement of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, which was made public after the close. In anticipation or the favorable exhibit, the steel stocks were strong and active in the last Hour, U. S. Steel crossing SO, while Bethlehem B. at 54% closed at the best rrices of the day. Pres‘dent Grace :n his remarks to stockholders at the Bethlehem Steel meeting. said earnings for the third quarter, as for the previous quarters of the year, were in excess of dividend requirements. Orders on hand as of Sept. 30. he valued at $70,000,000, as compared with $84,000,000 June 30. Total plant operation is about 40 rer cent clue in large part to the activity of the tin plate and sheet mills. He declared r.o important expansion is possible until the railroads have money to buy needed materials, and the present wage scale in the building trades is reduced. Fuel costs, both labor and transportation, must be reduced, he said, before the steel Industries can experience any considerable increase in activity. The regular dividends of 1% per cent were declared ou the A and B atockx. * * During the early part of the day, the market was subjected to professional pressure o:i unfavorable reports of the strike. When covering began. Pacific 0:1 was made the leader and advanced more than 3 points to anew high record. The advance was accompanied by a re port that an increase in the dividend rate has been decided upon although confirmation could not be obtained. Royal Dutch was firm on a semi- offteul statement that the company has prepared plans for the construction of .pipe.lines from the properties of the General Asphalt Company in Venezuela. General Asphalt was comparatively weak, and traders report'd that profit taking sales for the speculative group which handles its market were in evidence. * * • It was gossip in certain banking offices that the plan for financing the United States Food Products Company had been abandoned. There are reports that an investigation by bankers interested led them to withdraw. *• Officials of the United States Rubber Company denied any intention of reducing the prices of their products, and branded as false, reports that tire prices were to be reduced by the larger makers. The PennsyfVuilia Rubber Company announced it will establish a lower price list Nov. 2. • * * The report of the Gulf State Steel Company for the quarter ended Sept. 30, shows an operating deficit <>f $44,648, and after all charges, a deficit of $131,534. ¥ * * The cooper market which has been practically without feature fir more than a week, became suddenly weak and there was liberal offerings of the metal at 12% cents and for delivery through January at 13*4 cents. The foreign demand has not developed as had been expected by mine operators. The Shattuek Arizona Copper Company whose mines are closed reported for the qtntrier ended Sept. 30 itc-t expenses of $45,<137. * * There are persistent reports of a merger of steel companies, which, however, lack official confirmation. The reports Include the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company. Republic Iron and Steel Company, Inland Steel Company. Lackawanna Steel Company and Midvale Steel and Ordnance. Firms which specialize in the steel stocks admit that seme such organization might be perfected, but profess to have no positive knowledge concerning it.—Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company. | In the Cotton Market NEW YORK. Oct. 28.—The response by cotton prices to the ending of the railroad strike threat was an advance of 10 to 15 points at the opening of the cotton market here today, attended by considerable buying for Wall street account and local coverings. Strength in securities and the cotton futures at Liverpool a tided to the improved dealings and the list retained its gain during the first fifteen minutes of trading. New York cotton opening prices: December, 19 30c: January, 19.17 c; March, 18.98 c; Slav, 18.51 c; July. 15.02 c. The market showed a heavier tone In the last hour. The close was steady at net decline of 10 to 22 points. --Cotton Futures —• Open. High. Low. Close.

The market gamed moderately in the early trading, lut encountered liquidation la sufficient volume to check the rising tendency and give the market a reactionary appearance. Spinners' takings for the week are again considerably larger than the corresponding week last year and this wifuld In itself suggest a satisfactory trade in spinning circles. There Is still more or less doubt as to the size of the crop, but this will hardly be a factor until we are nearer to the publication of the final estimate of the agricultural department. In the meantime, we expect a good traders’ market, with fairl? wide fluctuations and on the reactions from the existing level we would regard purchases as the safer course. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 2S.—There was moderate trade in spot cotton at the opening today. Prices were steady and sales around 8,000 basts.

Although some issues soli off under profit-taking, the greater part of the list showed continued strength in the final trading and many issues closed at the top. ,Steel common rose over 1 point to Rt%.

Rail issues also showed strength. Sale 4 of stocks were 1,063,300 shares; b* uub, $13,995,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Oct. 28 — Responsive to the splendid overnight news as to the contemplated action of the railroad brotherhoods, the market was favored today with the best volume of business in some time. The buying was largely of a public character, coming from all commission houses and from various sections of the country. The rails responded with higher prices, but soon encountered some profit-taking sales, ns well as a little pressure from the professional element, who acted on the theory that as freight rates will likely be reduced, while wages will remain where they are for possibly the greater part of the year, that the effect will naturally be bearish on the rails. But thev overlook the all-important point that every step toward business expansion and freight rate reductions is certainly an important step in this direction, and will be beneficial to the railroads as well as to industry, because it will mean increased traffic and this will offset any temporary disadvantage in the expense account. The Industrial department of the market continues in favor. The oils were still fn demand. Some of them established new highs, on this more. . , , The copper stocks were in -demand and the same may be said for many of the equipments and a good many special's might have been expected, there was a good deal of profit taking, which is usually the case upon the publication of good news. Furthermore profit taking is to be expected at frequent intervals. This helps to maintain the market in a sohr.d technical position. We continue to look upon the market with favor and would take advantage of all reactions to purchase stocks. TWENTY STOCK. AVERAGE. NEW YORK.

GRAIN OFFERINGS AREVERYLIGHT All Values Touch Higher Marks—Provisions Irregular. CHICAGO, Oct. 28—The calling off of the threatened railroad strike, coupled with scant offering of grain, caused prices to advance ou the Chicago Board of Trade today. 'Many dealers who have held off purchases during the last week went into the market causing sharp increases ia prices. Provisions were irregular. Decembe 1 * wheat opened at $1.07%, up lc and closed l%c higher. May wheat opened up %e at $1.11*4 >* n( i dosed up December corn opened up %c at 48c and closed lc higher. May corn opened at 53%c up %c and closed up lc. December oats opened up %c at 53%e and closed up another %c. May oats opened at 38e, up %c and closed up %c. , (By Thomson A McKinnon) ——Oct. 28Wheat —The strength in wheat today has been derived from an absence of offerings and not from any large demand or from item of news. It is expected that Greece will be in the market for a million and a quarter bushels of wheat the first of next week and this condition may have prompted some of the buying. Outside of this, there is no evidence of any export trade. Cash wheat has ruled somewhat firmer in all markets, but as a reflection of the advance in the futures, not because of any improvement in the demand. In fact, flour trade is still slow. It is said that the New York flour market is overstocked, and that new sales are practically impossible regardless of price. Further than this. Canadian flour is offered for export below any prices which America can offer. Trade journals in referring on drought in the Southwest say that reseeding will be necessary. Because of the level of prices and because of the still persistent idea that United States reserves are small, the market will, in all probability have periods of strength, but inasmuch as we have a surplus of some size, it seems reasonable to say that a foreign demand for this surplus must appear if prices are to advance permanently. Corn and Oats—The strength in wheat has been reflected in corn and oats, but the buying power has not come from influential sources. Cash interests appeared as sellers of oats on the advance. Some points are claiming disappointing returns as shown in the husking, but this attarcts little attention. It Is quite evident that important developments are necessary, in both corn and oats, to bring about any independence of action. I’rovislons—Dullness again prevailed in provisions, but the tone of the market was steady, in sympathy with grain and a feeling th.'.t n settlement of the railroad strike would permit shipments.

ARMINGTOX, COX AND M’ADOO ARMIES UNDER FLAG OFTRUCE Each Side Tries to Learn Others Plans at St. Louis Meeting. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—An armed truce appeared to exist today between the Cox and McAdoo forces on the Democratic National Committee as both sides tried to learn the other’s plans for the meeting of the committee at St. Louis next Tuesday. "We won't start anything if they don't,” said Senator Pat Harrison of the Cox forces today. The McAdoo group declined to give the slightest inkling of plans. Friends of Chairman George White, Cox leader, have been trying for some ilnyg to get reliable information as to whether Thomas B. Love of Texas. Robert Wooley and Daniel G. Uoper, forrapr internal revenue commissioner under McAdoo, have any unrevealed movs up their sleeves. Meanwhile, White, around whom the storm, if there is a storm, will break, has been preparing a careful report, diplomatically, but effectively, making clear that his work is incomplete, his responsibilities not entirely discharged. Some influential Democrats not on the National Committee have been urging MrAdoo's men rot to raise this issue of ousting White at this time. Governor Cox has said nothing and Intends to keep out of party affairs for the present. DEPUTY HELD IN $85,000 HOLD-UP

PAN-HELLENICB ANNUL RULE ON HIGH SCHOOLS Viewpoint Still Antagonistic to Sororities Not Academic. Annulment of the Pan-Hellenic ruling that girls joining high school sorori.ies could not be takea into membership in national woman fraternities belonging ta the Pan-Hellenic Association, which has been enforced by the national body" for the last four years, followed a lively discussion at the closed business session of the annual Pan-Hellenic Congress today in Parlor B of the Claypool Hotel. The body stated that the Pan-Uellenic has not changed its viewpoint on the subject and that it still disparages the high school sorority. In many cases the sororities have masqueraded themselves in various ways, their members being admitted in colleges to National Greek-let-ter organization, while those wh< admitted that they still were high -iiool frat members were barred. In considering the question it also has been brought out that in many States there are laws against sororities and many high schools have banned them. Indiana has such a State law and high school sororities which thrived in profusion in previous years in the local schools have faded obscurity of late. It is whispered in profound secrecy that the groups are still in existence, that high school fraternalism is a dead letter but not a dead relationship. Following the business session, the discussion luncheon, which is open to all fraternity women of the city, was conducted. Mrs. L. Perle Green of Kappa Alpha Theta leading the discussion on “Mediums of Fraternity Publicity.” Following the meeting Indianapolis members of the Pi Bera Phi Alumnae Club entertained the visitors to the congress with a sightseeing drive over the city.
