The it admitted, will not reach normal production but will crops, is be suflicient to allow a certain amount of exportation. The question of food distribution rather it will be ne- cessary to transport to the more bar- supply is one of than production, and ren states products from those local- where normal or nearly normal It is pointed out that undoubtedly died of capital last year, this was due not to shortage of food but to the impos: ities crops prevail. while starvation some in the ibility of adequately transporting what was available. Within the last few months, ac- cording to the department official means of transportation have in- *d many fold. Regular train has been resumed not only with the United States border but between interior points and railroads | which have been idle for an extended period have resumed operation. The corn crop, the great Mexican food staple, will be in all portions of Republic except Zacatecas, Dur- 0, Chihuahua and San Luis Po- In cach of those states dis- turbed conditions have not only pre- vented planting but have left the farmers with an inadequate supply of seed corn. In the other states the corn crop has been excellent. The agricultural department also’ expects to add to the available supply a large amount of old corn hitherto held for large price advances. The bean crop, according to de- partmental reports, while not a bump- er one. will be sufficient to permit the exportation of old beans, the embargo on the foreign sale of which recently was removed by a decree of the first chief. In connection with the bean crop, officials of the depart- ment declare that the shortage of crops in Durango is due solely to the speculative operations of Pancho Villa in the last two years. When the Con- stitutionalist movement took form in 1913, the rich farmers abandoned their ranches and fled to Mexico City. The poor people who had worked on these properties, however, proceeded to raise a tremendous crop of beans which were stored throughout the state. Villa, it is said, found this supply and shipped it to the United States for sale leaving not even enough for seed supply. It is esti- mated he shipped over 1,500,00 bush- els of heans and officials say the state never has recovered from the scarcity which resulted. The production of cotton, it is ad- mitted by the department of agri- culture, will fall 50 per cent. below normal but reports from the Laguna district as to the amount of water now in the streams which In some seasons are entirely dry, indicates a full crop next There is a great need among the armers for new parts of the more mple types of agricultural machin- cry and the department of agricul- ture now is preparing a plan whereby such supplies as plowpoints and other machinery parts will be bought in large quantities by the government and sold at cost to the small farmers. Bfforts already are being made by {he government to establish a system of farm loans. In Colima a com- mission has been appointed to dis- 500,000 pesos provided by the nment among the more needy farmers of the states. Similar organizations are heing formed in other parts of the republic. City Items W. R. Newhall left today on a trip Providence. Miss M. Helen Sawyer has gone on a trip to Washington.

NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1916, LOOK FOR FURTHER - ADVANCES BY JAN. 1 Local Stocks High But Brokers Expect Them to Go Higher (Furnished by Richter & Clo.) We have had probably the most ac- tive market in our local stocks during the last week, since the activity of last fall. The advances have extended to practically all of New Britain stocks and the investment demand has our caused advances of anywhere from one to six points past two or three days has been Lan- ders, Frary & Clark which has sold up about ten points within the last week, and the market closed today at 82 bid, 84 asked. There is no particu- lar rumor in connection with this rise but it is only reasonable to expect that before the first of the year an increase in dividend is possible due to the ex- cellent business enjoyed by the com- pany at the present time. Union Manufacturing company has advanced from 95 to 102 closing at 101 bid, 103 asked today. New Britain Machine is also strong being quoted 90 bid, 91 asked, which is an advance of four points over last week’s quotation. American Hardware is up a point and is quoted 1371 bid, 139 asked. Stan- ley Works has followed the procession and is up about seven points. 93 is bid, asked. Quite a demand sprang up today for Stanley Rule & Level, which carried the price to 435, closing at 427 bid, 430 asked. This is an advance of about ten points within the last two days. There have been quite a few transactions in North & Judd with quotations at bid, 94 aked. We belleve this stock is out of line with the rest of the locals and should sell Higher in the near future. Sales of Tratit & Hine during the week have ranged from 40 to 42. The war stocks have been quiet but firm, Colt's being quoted 875 bid, 887 asked, with sales in between. Scovill Manufacturing company sold as high as 6560 last week and reacted to 63 but closed strong today at 640 bid, 64 asked. Standard Screw holds firm at 395 bid, 405 asked. Billings & Spen- cer, after advancing twenty points to 148 has reacted and is quoted 140 bid, 143 asked with sales in between. American Bra holds its recent of forty points well, there being a firm bid in the market of 341 with sales at ?42 and 343. There has been quite a. little buying of Russell Manufacturing company at rrices ranging from 270 to 280. This company is located in Middletown and a capitalization af $900,000. Jarn- are reported at the rate of $100,- 000 per month. Dividends are paid at the rate of 2 per cent. per month. Tt Is believed that stock wil]l sell well above 300. Although our local stocks seem high we believe they 1 be bought now for a material advance between now and the first of the year. The proportion of investment purchases to the speculative purchases is much larger than usual which Is a very strong feature to the market.

It comes while of finished steel to still higher prices. Export demand is partly responsible iron as it has but high levels regarded certain for months to come, domestic pur- chases, one after another, are, after repeated postponements, being brought forward.

The greatest activity has occurred in Be have risen $1.25 per ton in two weeks Low-phosphorus iron has been con- | spicuous, some 60,000 tons and per- haps as much as 100,000 tons being taken for export at rapidly advancing prices. As high as $35 per ton was paid and quotations are at present above this flzure. The present move- ment in basic iron for export has taken close to 200,000 tons from one | Alabama producer, and another Southern basic producing interest has refused additional offers after selling 100,000 tons, Foundry buying has also improved. In Chicago this has resulted in part through the adjustments of labor dif- ficulties in that city and in Milw Foundry irons are 26c and ton higher, and likely to climb fur- ther if more stacks are put on basic iron. Buffalo furnaces have taken 25,000 tons for the East and in the t six weeks 400,000 tons has been booked in Birmingham. Pig-iron production has been bet- tered, as expected, responding in part to the more favorable weather con- ditions of September over those of August. Last month’s total for the 30 days was 3,202,566 tons, or 106,- 745 tons a day, against 3,203,713 tons for August, or 103,346 tons a day. The month opens up well with 328 furnaces in blast, with a daily pacity of 106,578 tons, against 9 less furnaces, or 319, which started Sep- tember, representing a daily produc- ing rate of 104,602 tons. An illuminating illustration diminishing check on buying caused by high-price levels is the quiet in- quiry for steel bars being made by the implement manufacturers. It ap- pears that consumers of their machin- ery are buying heavily, one interest indeed in Southern territory ordering five times more than a year ago. In- cidentally, what steel bars are avail- able for relatively early delivery are now $3 per ton highe: Structural steel is believed that as work was contracted for in Septem- ber as in April or perhaps May of this year. The steel has been placed for the New York Central Hotel, New York, taking 15,000 tons, and for | buildings at the Norfolk Navy Yard | requiring 4,000 tons. An advance of $2 a ton for plain material on con- tract alrcady made by a number of mills is likely to be general in a few de About 2,500 cars have been bought | by the railroads, but there i up in the demand for plat estimated that there are no le 100,000 tons in the market present time, half for export.

It w nece: v to distribute this business among three mills. Some 11,000 tons has been bought for shipbuilding purposes at Staten Island and more wanted.

The inquiries for 35,000 tons of rails for Irance and for 22,000 tons for a road in Western Canada are not yet satistied, and not much has been placed against the 30,000 tons for a number of American railroads accept- able for 1918 delivery. Coke is 25c and b50c higher per ton, due largely to labor shortages at the coke ovens, and the scrap mar- ket has also stiffened in line with the advances in pig iron. { DFATHS AND FUNERALS. rael Slattery. of Michael avenue of Slattery held from this morning at 9 celebration of Rev, J.
