Not all the supplies were of this character, however, according to mer- chants who pointed to attractive dis- plays of fresh commodities. An almost complete desertion of the farmers' line was evidenced this morning. Tomato Receipts. It very seldom happens that the farmers' line is well patronized Monday mornings except when produce is ex- tremely plentiful, when supplies are brought to market in an effort to save them from spoiling. Probably the most noticeable receipt on the farmers' line this morning was a shipment of the small yellow preserving tomatoes, the vegetable being of the regulation size ana yellow color. “It is very late for such tomatoes to come in perfect condition,” observed a dealer, “and the demand for them at 75 cents for two-peck baskets is light, possibly for the reason that the amount of preserving done now does not any. thing like approach that of years ago. Fruit displays continued attractive. Dealers had attractive supplies of sev- eral varieties of pears, apples, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, bananas and persim- mons. They also continued to have large quantities of honeydews, some ripe and others in a condition to require them to be held a week or more for ripening. Shipped in vegetables also were fairly plentitul, receipts being in excess of de- mands. Cabbage, both red and white, proved fairly good sellers, the white stock, the kind ordinarily used for boil- ing and making kraut, selling around $1 a bushel, while the red variety sold around $2. | Mushrooms were plentiful and cheap, selling from 75 cents to $1.10 a basket. Dealers had small shipments of yellow squash from Florida that found ready sale at $4 a basket. Oyster plant brought $8 per 100 bunches, and dealers had plentiful supplies of carrots, beets, onions and other varieties of vegetables. Poultry, meat, butter and egg dealers had supplies more than enougn to equal demands at prices which prevailed at the close of last week's market.

By the Associated Press. ROME, November 4—Benito Mus- solini, Itallan dictator, told Italians yesterday what would be his probable course of action in the event Italy is involved in another war. The occasion was the eleventh anniversary of the victory at Veneta, which marked the defeat of the Austrian armies in the World War. “History teaches us when there are serious crises, it is arms and war which solve them,” Il Duce said. “If T had the terrible responsibility of governing a country in war time, I would make a clean sweep of all sowers of discord and defeatists. I would im- Fose stern discipline behind the war ront. ont. “I would eliminate the spectacle pre- sented to soldiers returning home on leave from muddy, bloody trenches of brilliant, carefree, merry life led in the big cities. “I would take from war factories all able-bodied slackers who think it more useful to manufacture bullets, shells and bombs than to shoot and throw them.” The premier said there was entirely too much talk about peace and dis- armament. LONG DELAYS CERTAIN IN STOCK DELIVERIES| Shortage of Blanks May Keep Buyers Waiting for Next Six Weeks. Howard B. Smith, chairman o. the New York Stock Transfer Association, predicts somo long delays in the de- livery of stock certificates. The reason, of course, is the appalling number of transfers to be made following last week’s panicky trading, making it simply impossible to enforce the 48-hour rule. Most stocks are deliverey in 100-share lots. Then if there are hundreds of small orders these certificates have to be split to mee the odd-lot requirements. This_requires the making out of new certificates with the names of the new owners, an almost endless amount of work being involved under present conditions. Big corporations always keep a large quantity of blank stock certificates on hand. In many instances this supply has been exhausted. This unusual con- dition means a delay for printing. So serious is the situation that one local investment banker said today that he believed some of the stock bought last W!Plk(! could not be delivered for six weeks. OFFICERS .ASSIGNED. Col.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 4.— Last week's stock market crash upon analysis reveals that different industrial groups behaved in vastly different man- ner. Some lost nearly three-fifths of their peak levels, while some lost only about one-fifth,and similarly great vari- atlons are found in the degree of re- coveries registered after the crash up to the end of the week. Group Action Analyzed. The following table shows the action of several industrial groups during the break. The tobacco stocks as a group are seen to have declined least, the rails next, the motors and radio stocks most. The chemical and accessory stocks made the largest recoveries, but the ac- cessorles group had had the fourth largest decline from its year's high. The table gives the year’s high and its date, the year's low on October 29 and the closing prices Thursday with per cents of the decline and recovery. The compact survey of New York Stock Exchange movements of common industrial shares is given below in price indexes (1926=100). There are two indexes of market price movement. The first (“shares outstanding”) repre- sents all common industrial shares list- ed on the exchange, the importance of each stock being considered according to the shares in existence or outstand- ing. The second index (50 leaders”) shows the price movement of the com- mon industrial stocks most heavily dealt in during the week, this list changing weekly with the shifts in trading popularity. The “shares outstanding” index shows what a substantially representa- tive $100 worth of stocks in 1926 would now amount to if held unchanged since that year. The “50 leaders” index shows the result of reinvesting the $100 every week in the market favorites of that week. ‘The last column of the table gives the rate of return on the week's 30 leaders at currert prices.

It is a common market maxim that in a crash “the best stocks suffer with the worst.” The facts are, however, that the investment grade of common industrials suffered much less than the speculative or even the intermediate e. Measured from the year's high for each group to its low in the crash, the irvestment grade of issues was down 31 per _cent, the intermediate grade was down 35 per cent, the speculative graae was down 44 per cent.

By the Associated Press, BORGER, Tex.,, November 4.—After a brief respite from notoriety, Borger, boom town of the Western prairie oil fields, was again in the limelight today the murder which led to the town's | recent occupation and rule by Texas National Guardsmen. Sam Jones, deposed deputy con- stable, and Jim Hodges, manager of & boiler works, are charged with the murder of District Attorney John A. Holmes last September 13. Officers went to New Mexico for Jones, arresting him on a liquor law violation indictment. Hodges was ar- rested at his home here. Both men deny any part in the crime. Last night District Attorney Clem Calhoun conferred with Hodges. What he learned was not divulged. That the prosecutor believes he is on the right track was attested by his state- ment that before the new year John Holmes' myrderer will be punished. At Stinnétt, county seat of Hutchin- son County, another echo of Borger's turbulent period was heard in the murder trial of Willlam J. “Whitey" Walker, docketed for today. Calhoun sald he would ask for a continuance in Walker's case, to allow him time for further investigations. Walker's trial was called the most important pending when Holmes was murdered.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla., November 4. — Florida fruit is gaining such popularity in certain European countries as to merit serious governmental and com- mercial attention. Sweden, for ex- ample, this year enacted legislation re- moving the duty of 70 cents a box on Fiorida oranges. According to a report of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic ommerce, the step was taken upon | the advice of the Swedish medical au- | thorities, who are encouraging greater consumption of citrus fruits. The Florida Citrus Growers’ Clear- ing House Association has just been ad- vised that the South Atlantic Steam- ship Line has materially increased its citrus fruit refrigeration accommoda- tions for the exportation of oranges and grapefruit to Liverpool. Demand for grapefruit has been steadily increasing in England for several years. The cost is much higher than in this country and the smaller sizes are mostly in de- mand. In that country, too, prominent physicians are urging the people to eat | more citrus fruits. | _In some of the exclusive resorts of | Northern ~ Europe last vear Florida | grapefruit found a ready market at prices ranging from $50 to 100 a box, which means that the table charge for half a grapefruit was often well in | excess of the equivalent of an Ameri- can doliar. | To date the bulk of the 1,000.000 | boxes of grapefruit and oranges which | nave been shipped out of Florida since last month has been sold in the mar- | kets of New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.

Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and the inflamed membranes and in- germ growth.

Creomulsion contains, in addition _to creosote, other healing CREOM FOR THE COUGH FROM COLDS THAT HANGON ‘-Charged with Laziness— Guiltv Simply of Acidity! More than one man today is mis judged and unjustly penalized because of a not understood physical condition rather than any lack of willingness or ability. So many of us are only half our- sclves, only fifty per cent efficient. be- cause we are victims of an insidious condition of acidity! That persistent tired feeling—that clouded mind—that |lack of dash and fire—that missing | punch that decides so many situations | in business—are all usually due to an acid system. ||| Actdity is brought on by our unnat- | ural eating, excessive smoking and ir- regular hours. It impairs digestion, and causes fermentation and putrefas || tion in the intestines and drags us down physically and mentally.
