the stock; market, instead of greeting
v the indication by recovery in prices
had fallen into greater weakness and
disorder than in any previous week
of the autumn season,, rNot dnl did
the industrial stocks and i the active
commodities fall under urcent ores4!

- was favored with an unending series
rumors oi - nnanciat or com
mercial disaster, the names being
mentiontd ri whispers, after the
Wall street habit ,
nytm of money -stringency had
passed was quite unmistakable. It
was proved no only by the decline
in stock exchange money rates from
10 per cent to 6, for the firsi time
in four weeks,' but by the federal
reserve statements. ' ,
New Percentage Record.
The rwKn-ve ratio of the federal reservV
. tt m rooe to thR highest percentage since
July, while a further reduction in loans and
r.ole circulation last week brought the
two accounts respectively S1TT.000.008 and
J. S, 000.000 below the recent high points
of the season.
For the violent decline on the stock
ewhanre, which accompanied the slow
Yeltxatkm tn the money stringency, there
. were two reasons 4 he fact that such a
decline goes on of its own moment, so to
8Pak, even when the Immediate causes
are operating less urgently, but also ths
fect that the fall in prices had, of itself.
, uieated an increasingly difficult altnatlon
fir over-extended merchants, out-of-town
enhks and stock speculators, the shrinkage
, in those collateral compelled the cloilug
out of the loans at any sacrifice.
One highly Important 'moral from the
toast week's Incidents in financial and
Commercial markets has todo with the
policy of the federal resefve. A banker
i oould ut laet week to a convention of
manufacturers, as he could not have said
with their approval six months ago, that
The chief credit for the fact that we are
not now - in uw nuaii i- a serious panic
lies with the federal reserve system."
What this meant was that, if the leading
institutions had been left to, overload their
credit facilities by continuing loans on
the scale of to speculative capital
ism and merchants, the cord might easi
ly have snapped when the urgent autumn
demands began, aa It did in 197. -"
It would be rash to assume, however.

Maroons 'Will Not Claim
Conference Grid Title. 1
The UnivcVsity of Omaha foot
ball ' team and Coach Adams' will
not lay claim tothe championship
of the Nebraska conference ; ac
cording to an announcement made
by the latter yesterday. ,
Reports have been published say
ing that the Maroons would claim
the title. This is denied by Coich
Adams. However, the local team

Trade Review.
Certain changes for the bitter have ap
peared in business. . The Improvement Is
slight, and none at all Is visible tn various
quarters, but some of the Indications are
more favorable than in recent weks. Sen
timent among some Interests has strength
ened, even without appreciable gain in ac
tivity, and the encouraging features In the
outlook are berhg (her more freely
stressed. While Immediato commercial
revival Is not expected, sounder conditions
Is the future are foreshadowed, and a
;ong-range view of the situation gives rise
to confident hopes. With lower tempera
tures in most sections, demand lor season
able goods has moderately increased, and
offerings of merchandise at lower prices
seem to be meeting wlth a somewhat
broader response. At the beat, however,
the buying is still conservative and re
stricted, and curtailment of production
through lack of new orders has not yet
ceased. A resultant decline in employ
ment, with reduction of wages In some
industries, in turn tends to limit consump
tive purchasing, and preparations for the
coming hajlday trade are on a smaller
scale. The present hatting in business is
disappointing to those who -had looked
for a conttwuation of expanslorl at the
previous unprecedented Tte, but it is the
Inevitable outcome of Inflation and over
extension, and some eml'srrassment is not
unnaturally accompanytr.- the process bf
readjustment. Liquidation in commodi
ties and securities is aerving to lessen the
monetary stringency, yet this does not
mean that there has been any departure
from the prndent policy In banking circles,
or that credit restraints have been relaxed.
The attitude nearly everywhere is one of
dautton. but optimism regarding subsequent
progress alorg more wholesale lines Is
in many Quarters well defined.
Dry Goods Inquiry Broader.
Development of a somewhat broader
irqulry and aemana tor ary guuus ap
peared this week, thounh price conces
sions are still necessary to Btlmulate buy
ing. The reductions in retail channels
i,v, hamnw aaneral and very clearly de-
-ftfted. and consumers seem No be make.
Ins rather freer response to tne attractive
merchandise offerings. At the recent car
net Andirue auction, a good purchasing
power was manifested, and all supplies
were taken at better prices thas had been
expected. Prices on all stork goods have
been reduced by clothing manufacturers,
and, in several instances new and lower
pricks have been named for spring. It is
hoped that these revisions will Induce the
placing of orders by retailers, and thus
lead to more business for fabric mill
As IV is now. curtailment of textile pro
duction has gone to unusual lengtha, and
some' plants have closed for an indefinite
period. ' I
Cottoa Consumption Declines.
As was not unexpected, tKe October
cotton consumption statistics show more
elerly the effects of the leesened demand
for goods in distributing channels. With
curtailment of production at mill centers

Buckeye-fflinois Game Resulted
In Application of Two Rules . ,
Little Known to Grid Followers
Urbana, 111., Nov. 21. The Ohio
State-Illinois contest resulted in ap
plication of two, rules little known
to most followers of foot ball. One
is that when time is called after a
play has been started, the offensive
team must be allowed to complete
it. Inl.e final play the whistle blew
as Hoge Workman drew back his
arm to make a new pass which
scored the Ohio touchdown. AVhile
the allotted 15 minutes of the quar
ter ended with the whistle, Ohio vas
permitted to complete the play, kick
has won air its games against con
ference schools and as far as a cham
pionship is concerned, has as much
right to claim the title as the other
schools. .
Adams also denies reports published
recently that the University of Oma
ha officials canceled a game with
Grand Island reported as scheduled
for Thanksgiving Day.
' "We could not cancel a game with
Grand Island because we didn't have
a contest scheduled," said Coach
Adams. -

figures of October of 1919. Conspicuous
among the other centcra showing heavy
