Losses of a point or so also was registered by Stewart Warner Speedometer, Amer- fean Woolen and Northern Pacific. Pere Marquette advanced a point. An irregular recovery toolc place after the first batch of selling orders had been absorbed, Baldwin and Studebaker rallying a point each. Stewart Warner extended its loss to two points and Continental Can to 1%, while heaviness was noted in several steel, tobacco and merchan- dising issues. A fair demand was noted for the rails in reflection of the unusually good August earnings statement. I[stablishment of a new low record for German marks at 29 cents a hundred million was the fea ture of the foreign exchange mar ket, which was reactionary in re: sponse to reports of political dis: turbances in Germany.

WHEAT SGORES PRICE ADVANGE Strength in Corn Market Brings Sp prceepon ging; Rise in Wheat CHICAGO, Oct. 1.—Despite weak- ness at the outset wheat soon scored ® moderate adyance tn price today. Initial declines were ascribed to a downturn in Liverpool quotations and to disturbed conditions in Ger- many. Notable strength, which de- veloped in the corn market, how- ever, brought about a quick advance in wheat. After opening unchanged to %o lower, December $1.05% to $1.05% and May $1.09 to $1,09%, wheat underwent a genera) setback and then rose well above Saturday's finish. Free buying on the part of com- mission houses absorbed the offer- ngs, and market closed firm, % to 1% @1'%c net higher, with Decem ber $1.06% to $1.06%@%& and May $1.10% to $1.10K@%. Estimates that damage equal to 70,000,000 bushels had been done by frost in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Towa gave the market an additional ioist. May reached a new top price for the season. The close was firm, net higher, T4Ma to 7 Mo. Persistent buying of corn and oats accompanied reports of continued wet weather west. Corn, which opened % to Seo off, December 71% to 71%c, began immediately to ascend, and made sudden gains to above one cent, Oats started % to %o lower, De- cember 42 to 42%0; later the mar ket showed a moderate advance Provisions were firm in line with hog values.

Two 500- barrel tanks hit the Midwest home camp bridge over Salt creek when the flood floated them off their foundations, and caused {t to col- lapse, . The Canadian bridge at the Dutch camp three miles northwest of the main camp on the highway was washed away. Consequently there is no travel north to Buffalo over this road. Pump station No, I near the Canadian bridge was swept with water and mud. Near this station two 65,000-barrel oll tanks were floated away. Two men known as Johnson and “King were working last Friday on a gas line running to the new town of Salt Creek at the present end of the North & South railroad. They were both busy on the south bank of Castle creek near Illinois pipe Ine station No. 20 when the flood swept down. King wormed his way over @ pipe line to the opposite side of the creek, leaving Johnson. Thus far nothing has been heard of John- son and whether he lost his life tn the cloudburst fs still a matter of uncertainty.
