" POULTRY CHEAPER IN MARKET TODAY Oyster Demand Smaller. Bluefish Plentiful—Butter and Eggs Firmer. Warm weather the past few days resulted in decreased demands for oysters. Receipts also decreased, oystermen realizing the weather con- ditions would affect the market. Dealers at Municipal Fish Market this morning had ample supplies of th bivalves to meet demands, however prices continuing the same as those quoted last week. Small haddock were quoted at the low price of 2 cents a pound, the cheapest fish on the market today, while the larger fish of that variety sold at 21 cents. Dealers had fairly large quantities of attractive rockfish from North Carolina this morning and offered them at 20 cents. Speckled trout, usually quoted at 256 and 35 cents, were more than plentiful at 15 cents this morning. Gray trout also were plentiful, the small stock selling as Jow as 8§ cents, while the larger ones brought as much as 18 cents. Bluefish Are Plentiful. Bluefish were plentiful at 25 cents, and jumping mullets, still in favor, were quoted at 10 cents. Included in the list of other fish offered the trade this morning were spots, 15; croakers, 15; flounders, 15; tile, 15; cod, 10; filet, of haddock, 15. Demand for crab meat was not very great today. There was a plentiful supply on hand, however, and dealers reported a price as low as 25 cents a pound. Very few hard crabs have been recetved the past few days, and dealers sold them at $5 a barrel. Green shrimp were scarce at cents, the cooked shrimp being mor plentiful at 50 cents a pound. There were plenty scallops to be had at $4 a gallon, but clams were scarce at $2 & hundred. Recelpts of chickens continue heavy and prices reported correspondingly cheap. A continued firm condition of the butter and egg market was re. ported this morning, with prices un- changed.

NEW YORK, November 3 (#).—Di- rectors of the Western Pacific Rail- road Corporation have decided no fur- ther dividends should be declared on the preferred stock during the present calendar year, Thomas M. Schu- macher, president, announc He explained the action taken after careful consideration of the cor- poration’s financial condition, includ- ing earnings for the calendar vear. partly estimated, and the fact that no dividends could be expected during the balance of the year from the Western Pacific Railroad Co. on account of its extensive improvement program. ‘What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach.

BY J. C. ROYLE. { Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, November 3.—More than $100,000,000 will be spent this month in preparing the highwavs of the country for the rigors of Winter | sportation. shipments undoubtedly will be more extensive and more speedy 5 far too great a value in the indus- trial and commercial activities of the country to suffer any unnecessary de lay from bad roads.” In consequence, sales of snow plows and other road machinery have taken a decided jump, and the permanent road forces along the majority of the main business highways will employ a larger num- | ber of workers than in any previous | year. Truck Production High. 1t is now practically a certainty that production of the country 7 wiil exceed slightly that for Truck capacity, however, will not approach that of the previous rear. This has been due to the re- markable popularity attained by the lighter trucks, ranging from 114 to 8 tons’ capacity. These have more than made up the total drop in tonnage capacity from 1926, when the 3 to 5 ton trucks were largely used, by the flexibility and speed with which' they | work through traffic. The general road pace on most of along both the East and | and in the industrial sec- | fiddle West has advanced | | fully ary 1. This trend has had a bearing also | on the tire industry. Many commun tles, and, indeed, some counties, have now put into effect regulations which prevent the use of solid tires and ex- tremely heavy chains on trucks pass ing between their borders. This has | been due both to the complaints against the noises of such traffic and to the fact that the heavy chains have had a tendency to damage the surface of the highways severely. Since these roads are regarded in the light of extremely valuable investments on the part of cities, counties and States, | officials are determined to protect | them to the utmost and lengthen their once. Your will never use crude methods when once you learn the ef-, ficiency of this. Go get a small bot- | }§ tle to try.

In some cases the roads have, worn out long before the bond issues through which the money to bulld them was raised have become due and been paid. The demand for balloon truck tires has been a factor in the rubber indus- try so far this year and in the present extremely competitive state of that business no opportunity to increase sales is belng overlooked. 1In fact, the rubber companies are bringing out new products steadily. One of the latest is credited to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., which has now begun the manufacture of rubber tires for wheelbarrows. Study Gasoline and Oil. Additional attention is belng given by all of the oil companies toward the production of gasoline and lubricating oll, especially suitable for Winter weather. This can be done more ad- vantageously at present than for many years past, because of the huge velume of crude petroleum now in storage. This permits the mixture of the more volatile oils with the heavy grades to produce a mixture which will aid in quick starting and proper carburetion during cold weather. The distribution of the so-called patent fuels, which include both the quick-startimg and antiknock com- pounds, is growing by leaps and bounds throughout many sections. There are now few well equipped fill- ing stations which have not at least two or three brands of these mixtures suitable for various purposes and and carburetor adjustments. The Win- ter activity in the coach and truck field is counted on to aid remarkably in the comeback of the petroleum in- dustry, and now that the volume of crude production has commenced to drop, the men engaged in the indus. try are exiremely anxious that the stocks in storage shall be marketed with regularity and moderation. To throw some of these stocks on the market at the present time, they say, would have as depressing an effect on the Industry as would the dlscovery of a new flush fleld similar to the Seminole, WOOL QUOTATIONS. .1’»0;\‘1'0\' November 3 (Special).— With transections in the Boston mar- at 48 for quarter-blood today, low. le Ohio fleece wool was close to a parity with territory on a clean basis, were in better inquiry, with the demand centering on fine and quarter blood sorts.
