NEW YORK. Nov. 1. (*)—-Con-
trasted with the undeniable evidence
of past prosperity which came to
light last week were clear cut In-
dicat to ns that business la many baste
lines was beginning to slow down.
Economists held varying views as
tp the nature of the current trade
movement, but moot, of them were
inclined to believe that a normal
recession was taking place after a
period of fruitful activity which
reached its peak in the late summer
rather than in the fall.
Unices some unexpected stimulus
is given to the trade, authorities are
generally agreed that the third
quarter will mark the high point in
industrial earnings for the year and
that the closing months of 1926 will
show a substantial but wholly nat-
ural reduction.
In the face of a slackening dee
mand for many products, however,
conditions have become more favor-
able in the money market dispell-
ing the fears of credit inflation
which existed a few weeks ago.
Another favorable factor, attest-
la* the huge volume of current
trade, was the sustained movement
of freight at aa unprecedented high
rate. Car loadings for the week end-
ed October is exceeded 1,200,000, the
largest number on record.
Supplementing these figures as an
Index to the prosperity til the rail-
roads were the uniformly satisfac-
tory—earnings statements for Sep:
tember, revealing large gains for
the principal carriers.
Although new business has been
declining inthe steel and automo-
bile industries, the two largest cor-
porations in these fields — United
Steel and General Motors—reported
remarkable earnings for the third
quarters.
Emergency surpluses to remove
cotton from the market and an
enormous volume of trade buying
apparently have reecued this situs-
tion from the disaster threatened by
the latest forecast of a record,
breakin* crop exceeding 17.400.000
bales. Prices at one time declined to
the lowest levels since 1921 but
were later steadied.

Prices are edging slightly lower
in gasoline sales and the present
lethargy in the market la reflected
by the seasonal influences and cone
tinued uncertainty of the crude
price structure in the Mid-Continent,
No changes in crude prices have
been made and the stubborn resist-
ance to any change is hopeful for
the batter.
Demand for gasoline is alack, with
only scattered orders filtering in.
Me large orders for domestic mar-
kets are anticipated for the present
and jobbers Will not carry large
large stocks at this time of the
year. Gasoline prices are admitted-
ly too low and have been too low
for months to permit refiners a wide
open throttle. The fact of this alone
la responsible for stocks on hand
being unusually low, and these low
stocks account for prices being as
steady as they are.

The position of the heavy pro-

The outlook, while quiet, can

of‘a story recently appearing in an
oil magazine.
A salesman called upon a Ken-
tucky mountaineer. After a brief
visit he noticed four holer ‘in the
front door. “What are they for ?”
asked the salesman.
"Well you see, I have four cats,”
replied the mountaineer.
"Wouldn't one large’t hole do?"
asked the salesman. ‘
“Hell no, when I say scat, I mean
scat,” he replied. 1

cadet rushed to the car and one
of the girls fell out, or waa dragged
to the ground—as conflicting eye-
witnesses’ versions of the incident
have it—a Baylor student clashed
with the cadet. In an instant, stu-
dents of both schools left the
bleachers and plunged into a
pitched battle.
Only the playin* of “The Star
Spangled Banner" by the Aggie
band, led by Ita quick-witted band
leader, stopped the fighting, for the
cadets were forced to stand at at-
tention. By the time the last bars
of the national anthem had been
played, leaders of the Baylor con-
tingent had reassembled their stu-
dents in the stands. y
From, the mass of strewn chairs
and torn clothing on the ground
after the struggle, the body of
young Sessums was picked up and
taken to a hospital.

HOUSTON, Noy. 1. GP>—An eye-
witness account of the student clash
la which Lleut. Charles M. Sessums,
A. & M. cadet, waa fatally hurt, was
given Monday by Miss Esther Did-
sun of Houston.
Miss Dizun sat 19 rows above
the field/and watched the battle
played out to the end.
“It, started,” she said Monday,
“when a ear, driven by a Baylor
boy, filled to overflowin* with Bay-
lor girls dressed in costumes of all
the years that Baylor has defeated
A. A M.. started a parade down the
field. One could hardly ace the boy
at the wheel. The girls were seat-
•d all around’ him, several with
their legs hanging over the sides of
the car.
“The car crossed the dividing line
between the two college camps and
aa It neared the end of the field,
opposite the A. & M. section, an A.
A M. bey Cached ' out to it and
leaped right Into the center of the
ear crowded with girls. . 1
- Girl Kioked Off Car.
“One girl,” Miss Didzun contin-
ued, “was knocked clear off the car.
She rolled over several times and
muat have been pretty badly
bruised.
"After this episode, the Baylor
boys made a rush, for the car to
save the girls and the lone boy at
the wheel.
"Precisely what happened next I
could not tell, nor could anyone else
for in a moment there was, a
swarming crowd of hundreds la a
free for all melee. Fists were
swinging madly in every direction.
Some of the boys carried slabs and
chairs
"I understand that Bessums was
struck over the head with a ehair.
I doubt if anyone in that wild
thron* of college students knows
today who struck him.”
Miss Didzun said that the college
cheer leaders, tried frantically to
quiet the crowd, but that to was
only when the band etruck up the
Star Spangled Banner that some
degree of order waa restored.
“The girls did not, carry out their
little harmless college stant.” She
added. “The Baylor boys did spell
Baylor out on the field, but things
were very quiet after the riot.
"A. A M. authorities thade the A.
& M. rooters remain. in their meats
30 minutes after the end of the
game in order to prevent any fur-
ther outbreak." ---7

fully lie to 15c off.
No more then enough heifers and
yearlings to comfortably go around
available and the trade made Sat-
isfactory progress.
Bull receipts unimportant.

Brain from their New York and
Chireno correspondents today:
CHICAGO, Nov. 1. — Wheat waa
under pressure end prices averaged
lower with a lack of support until
December broke under 139. Around
that figure there waa buying on
resting orders and also short oov-
ering but ths inarkst showed no
disposition to rally materially the
greater pert of the day and senti-
ment generally was distinctly bear-
ish. Only s few stop less orders
uncovered on wsy down with local
professionals free sellers and there
was also selling by houses with
eastern connections. Export de-
mand at the seaboard was abeent
with a majority of the continental
markets closed. Buenos Aires also
had a holiday. The trade had been
looking for a good reduction In
wheats visible.
Liquidation was on in corn with
all deliveries at a new low on the
crop. Stop lose orders uncovered
on way down and market showed
heavy undertone greater part of
day. Estimated receipts of over
1200 cars had a depressing effect.
Oats lower with corn and on sell- menaral ‘lectris
ing by tired holders.—A. A. Hous- GMtraF Motors

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—Dull pro-
holiday market—nothing in the
present outlook to warrant aggress-
iveness on either side. Hedge sales
very small arid trade aa yet shows
no disposition to follow advance.
Local sentiment remains bearish.
Trading In new October contracts

tereat being shown. Expect trad-
