Sept. 10.-JP)-Stock market leader were swept overboard today In one of the steepest plunges la more than four years. : . -- General declines ranged from t to C points, with some as much as .15 to 20. New lows for about a year and a half were recorded by the principal sufferers. It was the broadest market tn weeks, 950 Is sues changing hands, j In the heaviest selling wave near the final hour the ticker tape fell five minates behind floor ; transactions, here was a lag of a minute near the close. A few re coveries appeared at the finish, bat most shares ended-near bot tom lamia nf Vi a ! Business Outlook Blamed Brokerage opinion as to the cause of the,- fresh collapse was :mixea. - borne, however, were in jclined to put the blame on the fall and winter business outlook. -While there was less war talk I heard In the board room, the Med iterranean scene and the fat east ern sector, was realized,, held po tentialities for serious internation al trouble. At the same time ob servers doubted the foreign situa tion brought out the principal of-jferings-. :; i The Associated Press average of SO stocks was down 3.4 points at 57.8. a new bottom since April 29. last year.

"The Captive Bride CHAPTER LH Meanwhile Bourn, had returned' to his wheel. His movements were almost apathetic; but his eyes, with hawklike keenness, were focused on the Wind pulling past along bis beam, j When the rival ship had ahoved her hose half length ahead of the Maift bow, he, flashed into startling action. Jerking the signal that sent both his motors roaring into power. As the If aid leaped forward, he spun tha wheel, throwing her to ward the other boat She twisted; shivered ; and the next moment, with her guard-rail almost touching that of the speeding Wind, began to slip backward five feet, ten; tmtil she reached the counter of the Taku Wind. There she rode steadily with out losing another inch, "Dogrgone I" Harp yelled exultant ly. "We've hooked his suction wavel" "Shut down that starboard mill, Felix 1" Bourne shouted through the tube, "Get to work on it Don't let the port unit fail me while you're at If Tense, alert, he was watching very move of Page's craft, maneuv ering ; to hold his place with his single engine. Harp gave a whoop and slapped Shan en the shoulder. "Hahf That will put a crimp in Mr. Cutthroat Paget; Hell have to carry us along now until we get that Stax-oard mill fixed r : "Harp I" Bourne cut in sharply, without taking bis eyes from the other toat "Round up the crew. Take them below. Felix is up against a tough job. Hell need all hands. That starboard unit must be in com mission before we reach the Sisters -ror the Jig's up. Step lively." Harp darted from the pilothouse and disappeared. Denny, taut with suspense, stood a few feet behind Bourne, looking through the open windows. She could not tear her gaze from the Taku Wind, which Page, in his desperate attempts to shake off the Maid, was sending through every tricky maneuver he knew. But each time, just as some writhing contor tion seemed about to accomplish his purpose. Bourns adroitly matched his move, and kept the Maid nose arlaed to the other ship's veering guardrail. , ' The strain was beginning to tell on Bourne. A trickle of sweat seeped from his temple down the length of his cheek. Seeing it, Denny had a sudden im pulse to help him; to fight beside; him. But she knew that no one could help him now, except his men work ing frantically in the engine room. Working against time and the in exorable - swiftness of the Taku Wind, drawing: them down toward the Sisters. . For the first time, the realization of personal danger came to Denny. She knew, in s vague way, that Bourne could slip off the Wind suc tion wave in time to avoid crashing on the Sisters. But, unless his en gine .were fixed, that would mean the loss of the race, Now, with everything he had in the world staked he would naturally take chances; desperate chances. He would hang on to the last minute, depending on the repair of the en gine. What if Felix failed him and hs hung on too long? "Denny I She jumped at the tone of command in Bourne's voice. "In my cabin a life belt Put it on." She leaped to obey. As she was tying the belt about her, she glanced through the back window of Bourne's cabin and wont cold in the pit of her stomach.

It could mean but one thing the engine was not yet repaired, but Bourne was going to hang on to the last possible moment; and he real ized that he might misjudge that moment. . - Denny's knees were trembling when she returned to the pilothouse. Her gaze returned to the bow and ahe smothered a cry. The two boat were sweeping around a bend. Dead ahead. In tha middla of tha river, reared the lofty prow of the first Sister, its knife edge furiously split tint? a billow.

Denny held her breath, waiting. But Bourne remained braced at bis wheel, his whole body seeming to listen for that signal from the en gine room; his white-knuckled hands holding his boat steady be side the craft that was drawing him on to destruction. Van Cleve stepped quickly into the pilothouse and, without a word, slipped an arm about Denny. She felt his heartbeats- racing "We're going to crash," she thought "I must not act like a coward." Resolutely she kept her eyes on the huge, dark bulk hurling to meet them. But the river, the rock, the green shore beyond, suddenly swam In. a blinding blur a blur that was pierced by a sharp jingle and the clang of a stop signal. The throbbing life of the M aid died to silence. When Denny's vision cleared, the Jfoid was grudgingly dropping back off her competitor's suction wave. The Wind, free at last, swnng her bow and, emitting three derisive whistles of farewell, shot on down stream, leaving her crippled rival drifting rapidly toward the Sister, twenty yards ahead. "The race is over," was Denny's despairing thought; but Bourne's yank at the bellpull brought a roar ing response from the engine room. The Jfatd surged forward in a mag nificent swing that took her flying past the first Sister . . . past the sec ond . . . past the third, and into the straightaway below. She was barely two boat-lengths behind the stern of the Taku Wind! "Oh I" cried Denny joyously, look ing up at Van Cleve. "They got the engine fixed 1" He nodded. Harp erupted from the forward eompanionway an unfamiliar Harp with a blackened face, wear ing about the waist only a sleeve leas undershirt splotched with oiL His muscular arms were marred by red wales from contact with searing hot metal. He panted into the pilot house. Bourne flashed him a thin smile. "Good work, old man. And just in the nick of. time." Harp answered something which Denny failed to catch; something which caused the captain to frown and nod his agreement In the ensuing silence, Denny kept wondering why the two men seemed so grave. The starboard engine was working as well as ever, so far as she could tell, The Maid kept on the heels of the Taku Wind, making good time. , "Jack will show us how much speed he's got left in thst scow of his now," Bourne prophesied, aa he eased his ship around a boulder. Fulfilling his prediction black smoke suddenly bloomed from the Wind'B exhaust ports. She drew a little ahead. Bourne increased his speed, keeping up with her but not gaining. , i.- ,4 i The two boats were racing down a tricky stretch of water now a roaring, swollen river pouring over boulders . . . (curling about rocks . . . creaming and rippling over hidden bars. r ! Denny, watching the Afoti swing and dart and zigzag on her headlong course, was thankful that Bourne "swift to see and lightning to act" seemed equal to any problem of navigation that arose. : Ahead, on the Talcu WiA .T..V Page was also proving himself a white-water skipper of superb nerve ana skuj. i . . - j, 1 - Once, after the master' of the To Wind had executed a maneu ver which only a split-second timing had made possible, and Bourne had followed him, even Harp grunted his grudging admiration. 1 Bourne said, "Jack's a cracker jack riverman. If I only had the engines to race him to the finish 1" Denny glanced at him in quick dis may. Race him to the finishwhat did he mean? Was it posisble that they were not going through to the finish, now that both engines were running again! She turned qra tioningly to Harp. Ha sat humped on the settee, defeat in every line of his sagging figure. : " Van Cleve, aa much at sea in mat ters of river craft as Denny, took a quick step toward Bourne. fWhy, Grade B raw 4 per rest milk, fctalem baste pool price $2.10 per hundred. t Co-op Grade A batiertat price, VOJS Balein, SOc (It tit baaad aa aaaU-aaoatbl buttsrftt t'traf.) . . .

He knew he had lost yet be went on playing the hand dealt him by a crooked gambler; playing it with everything in him ta tha last card? She turned sick. "Great heavens, man!" Amaze ment and protest rang in Van's voice. "But Page crippled you be fore you started I Surely he cant make this stick? Ton won't let him get away with it?" Bourne lifted and lowered his shoulder. "No squawks; no alibis a condition of the race, Van." "It's outrageous I I never heard of anything like it in my life I There must be something on pan do. R . Something that would give you a cnancefwitn tnat double-crossing sneak!" Bourne maneuvered the speeding Maid around a sweeper, "I might spring a surprise on him if I could overtake aim before we reach Moon light Creek; but I haven't enough power left in that crippled unit to " "I know!" shouted Harp, leaping to his feet "The cut-off through the Gateposts I A mile' ahead 1 Ones you said a man might make it If he cared to take a chance. Rev. It will bring you out abreast the Wind just above Moonlight Bar!" Bourne seemed to be considering the suggestion, Denny remembered the Gateposts two rock pillars side by side, almost in midstream. Above them the current divided, the regu lar steamboat channel swinging in a wide are around a wooded point; , the other rushing between the Gate posts, cutting through the point She leaned forward honefnllw. in tent on hearinc Bourne's ana ar amid the thunder of the exhausts. -It came in a lowered tone, evi dently not meant for her ears. "That's out, Harp. I cant take the risk with Denny aboard.1 Her heart turned, to ice. Because of her, he was going to lose every thing' Lonewater, River House, all that the Keiths and the Bournes had built up in a lifetime! The enormity, the tragedy of it stunned her for an instant t Then she sprang to his tide, shor ing Van out of her way. "Revelry! The Gateposts!

"Calm yourself, Denise"- With his eyes on the channel, he tooled the aid around a foaming boulder and at the same time leaned so dose to Denny that his cheek touched hers. - Sharp, bitter, his words pierced her brain.

(To be continued) : The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Wheat Reflecting Stock Mart Fall Collapse at New York If Credited With Sadden Break in Prices CHICAGO. Sept. le-(jP)-Sharp breaks in wheat prices tday, 2 cents a bushel at the extreme, received many different inter pretations, including as one rea son a stock market collapse. Another cause assigned for the tumble of wheat values was much notice taken of possible use of the United States neutrality act la connection with the unde clared war in the orient, It was asserted that such use of the neutrality act might result in serious restriction of American export trade In agricultural pro ducts like cotton and wheat as well as In arms. Persistent reports of big ex port rivalry on the part of Rus sia were also a factor In disturb ing confidence of wheat holders. At the close. Chicago wheat futures were cents un der yesterday's finish. Prune Pack Start Expected Monday Salem canneries expect to start packing prunes by the first of the week. The plants are still work ing on peaches and pears, but prunes will get a clear track as the remainder of the other fruits will be cold stored and finished when prunes are out of the way. Hunt Bros., Paulas Bros., Reid Murdoch and company and the Hlllman West Salem plants are among those to pack prunes this year. At Hillmans, across the river in West Salem, the last of the Stayton bean pack is being clear ed preparatory for prune work.
