BOND TONE STEADIER Foreign Leaders Cling to Shaky Nature of Last Few Days. By IV. H. GRIMES United Financial StaiT Corrrspandt nt. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Following yesterday’s break, bonds showed a steadier tone at the opening today. However, there was no marked recovery and it was apparent that the market was not out of danger of further recessions. Liberties opened well and stayed around their opening levels in rather quiet trading. The foreign bonds were still a bit shady. French 7%s got to 97. but most sales were % point below this figure. British bonds were below their recent figures and the French city securities stayed just above 80. One of the cheaper rails which sold off yesterday was Missouri, Kansas & Texas adjustment sa. Today they were about a point better than their low yesterday at 63%. Northern Pacific 6s, one of the high grade rails which suffered, got back to 110. Baltimore Ac Ohio convertible 4%s were fairly active and steady. Bond traders were not surprised at yesterday's weakness in the market and were not pessimistic about it. They believed that the bond market nas come to a point where it must expect variations from the general trend on speculative buying and selling.

GULF OIL LEADS CURB Standard of Indiana Follows Group of Recessions. By It . 11. GRIMES tailed Financial Staff < 'orreepnndrnt. NEW YORK. Sept. 19.—Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania again furnished what there was of rising prices in the early dealings on the New York curb exchange today. Closing at 63 V t yesterday, the stock today jumped a point and there was not diminution in the heavy volume, of trading in it apparently. Several circumstances have contributed to the rise in Gulf OU One is that there was a considerable short interest in it. Another is the revival of reports that Standard Oil of Indiana will take over Gulf Oil. giving two shares of Standard for three of the new Gulf Oil. These reports lack confirmation anud this is not their first appearance. As the trading proceeded stocks appeared in a mood for a slight recovery. Mutual Oil. for instance, soon gained point.

Sept. 18—The feature of the local wool market appears to be the heavy withdrawals of light shrinking wools from bonded warehouses, possibly to avoid payment of higher duties under the permanent tariff. There appears to be an effort to withdraw- all wools upon which the duty is higher than the present low. Another feature in the local market is the purchases of large blocks of Ohio wools, sales possibly reaching a total of 700.000 bales. Strictly fine staple wools are reported scarce, some millions of territorial wools sold bv a local house last week; threeeighth blotl is selling at between 70c and 80e a pound. NAVAL STORES SAVANNAH.

WHEAT SUFFERS DESPITE BETTER FORM HALOES Prices Range Fractionally Lower With Corn Running Stronger. Ily United Financial CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—A report from London, token by local traders ad re j liable, that the Turkish government | had promised the English they would not attempt to cross the Dardanelles, was the chief influence in heavy sell ing of all grains at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Prices were unevenly lower, wheat leading the way on the decline. Despite fractionally higher Liverpool caliles. the rumor from London indicating the war cloud was clearing way resulted in strong bearish senti ment on all sides of the wheat pit. Prices were % to % lower. Rains were reported over a considerable sec j tion of tiie Canadian wheat country and it Wits believed late sprouting might cause some deteriorating in former estimates of thfe total yield. Receipts were fifty cars. Corn showed slightly more strength than wheat. Good buying by local commission houses was t lie principal factor and held prices about steady. Receipts were moderate at 210 cars. The trade in oats was largely local and domestic shippers were best buyers. Demand was mostly dull and prices slightly lower, in sympathy with the trend of the wheat market. Receipts were light at 40 cars. There was no trading in provisions at the opening.

'TRADE ATTITUDE BUS AS TURK QUESTION FARES Bond Houses Hear Encouraging News Coming From Stand of Allies. By THOMAS C. SHOTWELL (Copyriqht. 1022. by United Financial) NEW YORK, Sept. 19. —From a high official in Washington there comes this morning to a leading bond house in New York the comforting information that England and Franco are getting together on the Turkish question and will within a day or two present a united front to the Moslem hosts. Stocks were in position to need reaction. The Turkish situation gave the excuse. Loans have been materially reduced and after a few days of readjustment the market can proceed again. Cheap money means higher stocks. President Harding was expected to veto the bonus bill today. Bond houses were prepared for a sharp break in prices in the event the bill became a law. But they' were so confident that the President would x'eto it an dthat Congress would be unable to pass it over his veto that they sold nothing. Announcement that J. B. Duke, the tobacco man, has taken a large interest in a company manufacturing soil pipes, water pipes and bungalow heaters is interesting. It has been said of Mr. Duke that no man could be as wise, as he looks. In 1919 he was explaining that a business collapse was at hand and was acting accordingly. Now he is taking exactly the opposite position, putting himself in line to profit by the boom that he sees coming in the building trade and in the construction of sewers and water works.

OMAHA HAS NEW BUILDIN9LAWS Restriction Opposed by Lumber Associations Abolished and New Ordinance Passed. WASHINGTON, Sept, 19.—Omaha has solved in its newly adopted building code a problem that confronts scores of other cities in the United States by extending the permissible uses of certain typos of economical construction in building operations in that city. The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association has been conducting a systematic campaign for the revision of municipal building codes throughout the country with a view to eliminating provisions that make for unnecessary expense of construction, while at the same time meeting every reasonable requirement of strength and fire resistance. It was instrumental in pointing out to the Omaha authorities that there was very little development in that part : of the city included within the fire limits. An investigation demonstrated that with ordinary and mill construction impracticable or prohibited under the building code, real estate men found it more profitable to operate, if nt all. outside the fire limits. Omaha has a very extensive fire limits district and the restrictions have been such that for seven years no wood has been used for structural purposes. Smce’T9l6 it has not been possible to erect apartment houses, small stores, factories, xvarehouses or similar buildings of “ordinary construction," that is. masonry exterior walls, wood joist floors and wood stud partitions. Nor was it possib'e to eject any building over forty feet in height of heavy timber "mill construction." To meet this situation anew code was drafted, which permits ordinary construction of buildings not exceeding three stories and of mill construction up to and including six stories. As these two kinds of construction are the most popular and most generally economical it is expected that the new code will result in considerable building in the central section of Omaha- Another result of the new code is that old buildings, which have been an eyesore and a fire hazard, but which could not be economically replaced, will now be torn and down alid succeeded by new buildings.

BUYS WIFE FROM HIMD FORKS Man Makes Deal With 54-Year-Old Mate of 17-Year-Old Girl. WORTHAM, Texas. Sept. 19. Wives in Texas are cheap. So, at least, Justice Henri Pybum has decided after reviewing the case ot a man and a girl arrested at a roominghouse. James McNear admitted to the court that he had purchased the girl. Helen Mountjoy, from her hus band, Ross McKinney, for f26. A few weeks ago a man drorped into a small case In Curre, an oil town near here, and was waited on by a girl about 17 years old. The restaurant was owned by a man 54 years old, who said the girl was his wife. The stranger, after purchasing something to eat. said he would be back later. In two weeks he returned and bought another meal. In conversation with the old man he said. “Your wife is mighty young for you?” The old man answered: "Yea. and she is for sale.” McNear then asked McKinney what he would take for his wife, and was told $25 was the price. The patron of the case handed over the $25 and took the girl, coming to Wortham to stay and living at a private boardinghouse. After a time the landlord decided It was a strange couple and on Investigation obtained from McNear the confession that was later repeated in court. Neither of the parties denied the allegations. They were arrested and sent to Jail, as neither could make bond.
