In the Stock Market (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—The president of the American Car and (Foundry Company and of the American Locomotive Company finally gives the stockholders a word of cheer. He looks for a turn real soon in the equipment business. During the last few years other industries one by one passed through the struggle periods and turned upward. You can see today what has happened in copper, you will see tliursday what is happening in oil, •o why not the next day the equipment business. This is really the story of our stock market. By the time you get through building one group of stocks the business boom hits another group and away they 'go. It is, of course, the correct thing these days to modify everything you say by a few words on , money. We notice in this morning’s paper one of our leading institutions advertises a $20,000,000 issue for a German power company ‘so. perhaps there will be some left for America. However, we think it ;is about time that we had a real i reaction in the market. i' .i Local Wagon Wheat '■* City grain -elevators are paying $1.37 for l! No. 2 red wheat and $1.05 for No. 2 hard.

High winds, heavy rains and flooded low lands did much damage to cotton in the more eastern portions of the South, especially In the Carolinas and southeastern Georgia, where the crop deteriorated steadily with much shedding, boll rolling and seed sprouting, the Government weekly weather report stated today. In the Central States of the belt, cool weather retarded development in some places, but the week was generally fair and picking and ginning made good advance. In Oklahoma cotton made fair to good progress. In Texas, there was little change in the general situation except for detrioration in the Northwest. Picking advanced well until stopped by rain in the middle of the week.

FOREIGN DROP CARRIES WHEAT PRICESJ.OWER Frost Reports Aid Advance in Corn Futures; Oats Irregular. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—Wheat futures on the Beard of Trade followed declines at Liverpool today, all deliveries working fractionally lower. Frost reports aided an advance in corn. Oats was irregular. Wheat opened % to % cents lower, corn was up % to % cents and oats ranged from % cent off to V* cent up. Provisions were slightly lower. Hedging sales are expected to increase in importance as a trading factor during the next week. The movement in the Northwest and Canada has reached such proportions that it seems impossible to hold off pressure any longer. Prices here still are above a world parity. Evening up in September corn has been progressing slowly. The delivery has received support on soft spots, chiefly from commission houses. More frost reports were received today, but it is believed that only a small amount of the late com can be damaged, as most of the crop is two weeks ahead of other years. Oats has been holding fairly steady in a narrow price range. If farmers increase their marketings, however, prices are likely to weaken. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 26 WHEAT— Prey. Open. High. Low.

ONE RIDE THAT PAID Bandit Uses Victim as ‘Cabbie’

ONE of the strangest drug store holdups in the city’s history was staged Tuesday night by a bandit who apparently believes in mixing business with pleasure. As Mr. and Mrs. Owen Wells locked their drug store, 2670 Northwestern Ave., and prepared to drive home, the bandit appeared—forced them into the car at the point of a pistol, and, getting in the back seat, demanded a joy ride. After Wells had driven several blocks, the bandit commanded him to return to the store, where Wells was forced to enter and hand over $64 from the safe. His desire to ride still unsatisfied, the bandit forced his unwilling host to take another jaunt and again return to the store, where he leaped from the machine and fled, after telling Wells to drive to police headquarters to report the holdup. “Don’t telephone. Drive down there. My buddy and I will follow you, so you’d better do as I say,” was the bandit’s parting shot.
