In the Cotton Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Sept. 12.—There was good | buying of October at 50 Saturday. That caused the rally in the last few mnlutes. General confidence has been thoroughly shaken, however, and the market can easily sell lower. The decline has been so fast that many traders are still long who would have taken their profits had prices been more stable. outset, rising to its high of 157 after which it sold off two points. General Motors, General Electric, Allied chemical, American Smelting. Rock Island and New York Central made sharp early gains, only to sag before the end of the day. International combustion engineering spurted more than 2 points, while White Motors made a similar advance. International Telephone & Telegraph, American Bosch Magneto, Mack Trucks, and Freeport Texas also were strong. In the rail group Chicago & Northwestern rose to new high ground for the year, while Rock Island lost more than a point and New York Central held steady. Money Tight Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial reviewsaid: Heavy selling of stocks was occasioned at the start of the week by a tightening of money, incident to the mid-month settlements. Banks called approximately $20,000,000 in preparation for Government financing, tax payments and Sept. 15 dividends and interest disbursements. These withdrawals were reflected in a firmer tone in credit rates. After standing loans had been renewed at 4 per cent, call money advanced to 4 \is per cent, the highest charge for speculative accommodations since Aug. 2. Time funds also displayed a stiffer tendency. Borrowing from 60 to 90 days’ du•ration were quoted at 4 to 454 per cent, against 3% to 4 per cent recently in effect. * Week-End Orders Developments in the money market caused the main body of stocks to turn downward after an early burst of strength. Large buying orders accumulated over the weekend, due to the optimism regarding business conditions created by the increase of 54,000 tons in United States steel forward orders. Publication of this statement after Saturday’s close attracted demand for standard stocks from widespread interior points. After the early buying wave had run its course, the general list turned irregular. Profit-taking and short selling grew in volume simultaneously with the firming up of the call rate. Substantial declines from their recent highs took place in the speculative leaders, and the afternoon trading was marked by a heavy tone.

In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Sept. 12.—The main action of last week s sugar market was to lav emphasis on the probability of a restriction of the Cuban sugar crop, as well as the expressed intention of the Cuban government to try to secure co-operation of other producing countries. Undoubtedly something will result from all this, which taken into connection with strong statistical poi itlon already ex.stlng would seem bound to send prices of both actual sugar and futures to still higher prices.

RETURNS CHECK FOR PAY RAISE Greencastle Legislator Cast Vote Against Increase. Since he opposed voting himself a pay raise of $4 a day during the last session of the Indiana Legislature, Senatol* Andrew W. Durham, Democrat, Greencastle, returned his check for $292 to State Auditor L. S. Bowman. In a letter to Bowman he explained his position, but the auditor refused to make the letter public until he had decided what to do with the check. The extra $4, made the legislative pay $lO rather than $6 a and was the street of litigation. The Supreme Court ruled that it was within the province of the Legislature to vote the extra pay, over-ruling the contention of Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom that such proceedure was unconstitutional. During the session the law-makers were paid $6 and the $292 check represents the $4 additional both for the regular sessions and the Judge Dearth impeachment trial.

ASSAIL SCHOOL CONDITIONS IN CITYJS PERIL Engineering Society Cites Fire and Health Insurance in Buildings. Attention again was called today to the poor housing conditions in Indianapolis schools in a report of the special committee of the Indianapolis Engineering Society. Many school buildings are firetraps, several have been condemned by the State fire marshal,, insanitary conditions prevail ln some schools, and many .-lessrooms have poor lighting arrangements, according to the report. In the Benjamin Harrison grade school, Delaware and Walnut Sts., the entire building; is a fire trap and the auditorium and third floor has been condemned, the report states School No. 6, 702 S. Cadou St., is called a fire trap and has bad daylighting. The auditorium on the third floor of school No. 16, Michigan and Neville Sts, is condemned School No. 80, Sixty-Third and Marion Sts., is said to be a fire trap and is over crowded. Conditions in thirty-six schools are generally poor, consisting for the most part in outside toilets, fire hazards, poor lighting, poor heating and improper placing of classrooms the report states. “In the face of the steady growth of the city’s population, her educational facilities have been falling behind...." due to “opposition from a-certain element more interested in tax reduction than in adequate school facilities,” the report says. “High school requirements are now beginning to be fairly met, bu* the grade schools are far behind legitimate demands, resulting in a menace to health and eyesight of the children, and a serious handicap against their proper care and effi cient instruction.” COP’S APOLOGY WONJY PAIR Officer Sorry He Drew Gun in Dispersing Crowd.

Garfield Dr., and his son Roland, 20, were watching construction of a sewer when Schoen rode up on his motorcycle. When the two failed to “move on,” Schoen attempted to force them. A crowd gathered around the three during the struggle and Schoen drew his revolver. The spectators made the officer return his gun to the holster, and the two Zaisers were arrested on charges ol congregating and resisting an officer. Judgment was withheld on the Zaisers. Several weeks ago Schoen wounded a little girl while chasing an alleged speeder. A petition signed by more than one hundred south side citizens was left at Chief Worley’s office. It declared that they did not believe schoen was a fli, man for the polic'* force and asked at least his removel from the district. Funeral Directors ~W. T.
