MARKET SAGSAS ' BEARS CONTINUE IHEIR HAMMERING $ % Passing of Dividend by Cosden Casts Pessimism Over Trading FamHy, RAILS ARE FAIRLY FIRM v * Report of Federal Reserve Banks Fails to Bolster General List. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Extraordinary Improvement ■was shown by the I ederal Reserve Bank statements, which sb*>wed the combined latio at 77,2 per cent, less than a half-point fnfcJn the year’s high, while figures for the regional institution jumped in a single week from 81.3 to 87.7 per cent, the highest point since Aug. 9, 1922. Stocks, however, continued heavy in today’s early dealings, showing little recovery from Thursday’s close. Which L stood at the lowest level reached since Lloiy 31. First Hour in the general list steadied Hfomewhat toward the end Os thg hour under influence of pronounced strength in New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Southern Railway and other of the carrier group. American Woolen came back to 78, against its early low of 76%. reflecting the statement’ of President Woodin, in which he expressed great optimism regarding the company a trade outlook. The Federal Reserve statements overshadowed all consideration of the Ruhr settlement prospects. Second Hour Industrials failed to follow up the Improvement shown around 11 o'clock and a dull, sagging tendency marked their movements in the late morning. Cosden was the depressing influence, reaching anew low on the movement. Cosden’s dividend, scheduled to be passed at the afternoon meeting of directors, would cost $1,232,232 If it were maintained and the company had only $2,194,000 cash as of June 30,' and like most refiner has been in no position to increase this aggregate in the past few months. Therefore, directors decided to pass the dividend, rather than eat so heavily into the (ompany's liquid funds, v Noon Hour ■Stocks drifted rather aimlessly Rough the noon dealings whcih were of a mixed character, though evidences of life and strength among leading issues was conspicuously absent. No great amount of selling, however, took plage. as the bear contingent seemed JflKave adopted the policy of "watch■Bftvaiting.” while constructive forces apgeared hesitant to make commit-m-aßts in the face of the pessimistic feegng prevailing throughout the speculative community. Fourth Hour Speculative interest was At low ebb In the early afternoon, when few signs of life were in evidence in the general list, Industrial leaders continued to moye sluggishly and most of the activities were provided by a covering movement In the oil group, which resulted in slight recoveries in Sinclair, Producers and Refiners and a few other members of the lower-priced group. Sugar stocks made a poor response to the commodity market, as conservatives are afraid of a “runaway” market. Closing Hour ISie better feeling prevalent in the market in the early afternoon was dissipated when stocks developed increasing activity at declining prices in the final hour. This activity was assstgd when Studebaker and one or two other industrial leaders broke to new low ground on the movement. HoWever, this outburst was short-lived and trading turned sluggish irt final dealings. Gains in Cuba Cane preferred and American Sugar were practicably the only features of trading. Twenty active Industrial stocks on Thursday averaged 88.16, ofl 1.01 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 78.0 ff 1.12 per cent.

HECTIC TRADING FEATURES GRAINS Wheat Experiences Numerous Dips and Rallies—Cioses Weak, Bu Vnited Financial CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Grain prices closed irregular on the Chicago Board of Trad® today. Wheat experienced one of the dullest trading days in several weeks. Numerous dips and rallies featured the day, led by commission houses who switched frequently from the buying to the seling Side. The market was unable to recover from a slump at the close and fractional recessions were recorded. Buying on the strength of unfavorable crop news from central and northwestern areas gave September corn strength and that delivery closed higher. Optional months were lower with lack of demand. Among the features for the advance In September were reports that farmers in the central district were holding old supplies for seed and feeding purposes. Oats were dull and sold off. A little commission house buying of May had no effect. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 21— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close. Close.

If Canadian farmers continue to market their wheat in large quantities, the entire crop will be marketed within eighty daya, an expert wired. More interest Is being manifested in the damage reported to corn by the recent frosts. Traders declare the injury i* far greater than is realized. A seaboard exporter said he can see nothing on which to buy wheat, and predicts there will be large imports of Canadian wheat after the present demand is satisfied.

A JUDGE WITH A HEART Fine Suspended When Prisoner Says He Is to Be Ma-ried. “I was saving money hopping trains I for South Bend, where I’m going to be married.” "Going to be married, eh?” mused City Judge Pro Tem. T. E. Garvin. "Well, guess that’s punishment enough. Fine suspended. Next case.” Christ Fridensborg of South Bend had been fined $1 and costs each on charges of jumping trains and trespass. PAVEMEMffERMS ARE DISCUSSED Agreement Between City and Car Company Expected, An agreement on paving between street car tracks in city streets was expected to be reached by the board of works and representatives of the Indianapolis Street Railways this I afternoon. City officials point out that misunderstanding over a 1923 State low amending certain paring provisions is holding up work where the Brightwood car line runs on E. Twenty Fifth St. Contract for this stretch was to be let late today. Refusal of the street car company to meet part of the extra paving costs has caused trouble, city officials say. They point out that paving costs are greater where car tracks are. The 1923 law provides that if the car company desires different paving it shall bear the expense. The city holds that the same paving material causes higher expense if tracks interfere and that it is unfair to ask property owners to pay this. Marriage Licenses ,T. M Dixon, 21, 1010 W.
