THE MORNING OEEG ONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1914. 17 RULES CAUSE TALK! Police Club Buzzes With Dis cussion of New Orders. SOME WAX SARCASTIC Curbstone Walking and Trapdoor Jumping Seem to Be Targets for Blany Shafts of Wit Even Detectives Complain. jonsilerable comment, favorable and otherwise, circulated about the police Etation yesterday over the proposed new rules for the department. The rooms of the Police Athletic Club on the fourth floor of the station fairly buzzed with the discussion of the rules. "I'm mijrhty elad those rules were proposed," said Chief Clark; "especially' that one which requires the patrolmen to walk on the cubstone during the day. It takes a sober "cop' to do that Etunt and it means none will be drunk on the job." "My great-grandfather used to be what you call a tlsrhtrope walker," commented one bluecoat, as he chalked Vila mi a in tl,o attilatl rlllbmomS yesterday, "and mebbe he'll teach me how to walk curbstones." "That rule is pretty soft for the bums and the hoboes," said one of the North End patrolmen, indignantly. "All a. bo has to do is to stand next to the building In the daytime and next to the curb at night and the copper3 can't even reach him without violatin' the rules." "I tell you what," remarked a de tective, "we detectives travel in pairs always, and this rule," he said, point ing to the one which forbids police men standing or walking in pairs or In large numbers, "will mean that we will have to take chances of 'repeat ing' on each other's work." Patrolmen C. B. Maxwell, F. H. Wil- lets. Ralph Malnswaring, H. H. Stark and a few others on the downtown beats are thinking seriously of taking a course in trap-door jumping. "You see," expostulated one of the whistle blowers, "If we have to walk the curbline we'll have to learn to jump these trapdoors. My beat is full of 'em and they all reach right out to the street line' and generally are open during the day. With a little exercise we might be able to hurdle like a real college boy on a cinder track." "I'm going to hire one of these police reporters for my secretary," remarked another as he pulled out a stenog rapher's large note book, "seein' as how we have to write comment on the weather and sech."

Syndicate Incorporate and Will Take Over December Contracts South ern Markets Are Firmer. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. The re-openlngr of the New York Cotton Exchange Cor general trading within the next few day was indi cated today by the announcement of the in corporation of the Cotton Trading Corpora tion, syndicate which will take over e cember contracts at 9 cents a pound. Al though a date for reopening the exchange has not been officially announced, a prom inent official of the exchange said today there was on reason why business should not begin oy the first of next week. The cotton trading corporation, which Is a part of the corporation-syndicate plan for taKing over contracts which have remained outstanding since the exchanges were closed on account of the - war, has been fully or ganized for business. Its president Is S. T. Hubbard, a former president of the Cotton Exchange. According to the plana outlined some time ago by a special committee of the ex change, the Cotton Trading Corporation will taKe over December contracts at 8 cents and carry them down to 7 cents should the market decline to that level. In such an event any contracts remaining in the bands of the company will be taken over in turn by members of a syndicate, formed from the exchange membership, who will assume the complete ownership and control of the cotton. It is estimated that about 200,000 bales will be turned over to the cor poration under existing agreements, and ar- jangeraents already have been made for funds amounting to $1,500,000 for financing hia interest down to tno syndicate's buying . J ' During the oast few davs December eon centa. Owlntr to the recent firmness Southern siot markets some authorities be lieve the members of the syndicate will not obtain many contracts at the 7 -cent level. The corporation, it Is said, will liquidate as many contracts as possible between cents and 7Vi cents and members of the ex change have agreed to the tax on future business amounting to $2.50 per contract for the round turn, in order to reimburse the losses and expenses Incurred In the opera tion. No further ballot In the llauldatlon of th. International straddle Interest is exnected nntll the corporation-syndicate plan has been announced, .and the local conference committee notified members today that they snouia not lenaer ior such ballots cotton that they had agreed to turn In under the syndicate agreements.

It is estimated that this will Increase the crop by 3,000.000 quintals (11,000,000 bushels), but there is still a deficit to be supplied by other nations.1 AT ILE-liKOn KKS CAAAD. !5Lt iUiK Witn Decrease in Exports, Prices Have De clined and Much Pruit Is Stored. The large apple crop ot Canada, the de creased exports and the importance of pre venting great loss of apples In the orchards have been subjects of serious attention by the Dominion and provincial authorities and of much discussion by the press of Canada.

VALUES ADVANCE SHARPLY Steel, Amalgamated, Reading and llarrimans Are Four to Seven Points Higher Than Month Ago. Loans Negotiated in Ixmdon. NEW TORK. Nov. 10. For the first tim since the formation of the unofficial market. which deals in the more active listed stocks, buying orders today far outnumbered offers to sell. This was reflected In the quoted prices of such speculative favorites as United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper.- Reading, the Uarriman Issues and other issues of like character, all of which were higher by four to seven points than a month ago. The New York City three-year 4 per cent notes attained a new high price of 103ft, which puts them on a 4.60 basis. Of more importance, however, was the news that local brokerage houses had ne gotiated time loans in London on very fa vorable terms. The amount of these loans was not large, but the fact that London was willing- to engage in such operations was accepted as strong; proof of the improved conditions at that center. Quoted rates for long-time money were unchanged in the local market, but the supply was more abundant. Call money was easier at 4ft per cent for special trans actions, which established the lowest rate since the outbreak of the war. All grades of commercial paper were in demand, short maturities being accepted at as low a 4ft per cent. ' The activity of marks at a new low price In the exchange market attested the In creasing business being done here for Ger man interests and gave currency to fresh rumors of a large loan for that country. Sterling exchange was lower on light busi ness and Parts checks and drafts were mere ly nominal. More gold was exported to Canada, presumably in connection .with the operations of the gold pool. There were some adverse developments during the day. Including a large decrease in unfilled orders by the United States Steel Corporation for October, the largest Increase In idle cars for this period of the year since DOT. a large failing oil in local exports and an unfortunate statement ot gross earnings I for October by the Great Northern Railway. London reported a decided stimulus to I financial business, the chief contributing factor being the naval news, which was fol lowed by a pronounced drop in marine lnsur- SAN FRANCISCO PRODUCE MARKET Prices Quoted at the Bay City om FraUe. vegetable. jkcc SAN FRANCISCO.

CHICAGO. Nov. 10. Difficulty in finding enough vessels to provide a sufficient outlet for exports from Gulf cities had a depress lng influence on the wjieat market here. Prices, although firm at the close, were 11H cents to H4 cents under last year. Corn finished 1 to liilVs cents down, oats off tt to tgi cent., and provisions varying from unchanged figures to a de cline of S2H cents. Liquidating sales by discouraged holders of wheat began at the outset and formed the most noticeable feature of the market until lust before the close, when the low price which had been reached tempted ex porters, it was said, to take hold with a free hand. Advices that a fleet of 90 vessels was due to arrive In th. T7mted States from South American waters within the next 40 days afforded no Immediate help to the bulls, especially as primary receipts con tinued heavy and stop-loss orders were in active operation. Higher cables had little or no effect for the time being. Increased arrivals of corn in prospect gave an advantage to the bears In that cereal. The weather favored shipping, and it was said that husking was generally well ad- I vanced. ... Oats suffered In price . with other grain, Nothing was heard about other export busi- ness In grains. 3--J Provisions averaged toTwer-because of sell- lng by packers and because of setbacks In the price of wheat and feed. A fair im- provement was noted, however. In the cash demand for meats. Th8 leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.
