An effort is being made by the au-
thorities of the High School to locate
all students of last year who are not
in school during the present session.
If they are not working, an attempt
will be made to ascertain the reason
for their absence.
A similar system will be established
to get in touch with the parents of
students who have been dropped from
the rolls, which is done when they
have absented themselves for three
days without notifying the authorities
of the cause.

CHICAGO. Nov. 14 — Benjamin F.
L Schwarz, the Now York exporter, who
I was on the Board of Trade today.
L says that the war tax on grain should
F be assessed to the importing countries
L of the world instead of to the export-
f era in the Unted states; that foreign-
r era must have Uncle Bain's grain, no
i matter what the price may be. and
f that they will be more eager buyers
I around a price 25 to 69 cents higher
than the present level than they are
today: that the present enormous
I clearances would be doubled with am-
I pie tonnage to carry the grain across
the waters.
Wheat futures suffered losses of
% 9 %c today. This, however, was no
[ reflection of the cash situation, as the
[ takings here were confined to the of-
I f erings and amounted to 325,000 bush-
l els. Export takngs in all positions
' were 1.360,000 bushels, and all of it
was for export. All of the markets
I of the country reported a good export
trade, not only in wheat, but in rve,
oats, barley and other grains. The
visible supply of wheat in the United
states to steadily increasing, the total
L today being 73.476,000 bushels, follow-
' ine an Increase of 6586 bushels for
the week. Thia compares with 59,-
947.000 bushels for a like period last
‘‘he harvesting of wheat began in
y the extreme northern part of Arsen-
( Una today and the crop of that coun-
try to estimated at 192.000.000 bush-
’ els, which will give an exportable sur-
i plus of 120.000.000 to 180.000.000

Optimism was dominant today.
Bond dealings were the largest since
the exchange closed.
While no official confirmation
could be obtained of the volume of
business in stocks put through the
clearing house, it was estimated that
the number of shares exceeded any
previous day’s business. About thirty
issues are now selling at or above the
official closing prices.
Industrial stocks were strong on
the New Street curb. Railroad issues
were easier. So many stocks are now
at or above the official closing prices
thst the bulk of the day’s business
is conducted through the committee
of the clearing house, a secret society
whose existence is no longer justified.
The Broad Street curb was offi-
cially opened. Trading was active and
early prices strong, although the close
was below the best.
Stock exchange houses with mem-
bership on the cotton exchange re-
sumed business as usual. Public in-
terest was keen and th firmness of
this staple strengthened the opinion
that public trading on the stock ex-
change would enhance values for se-
curities.
Copper advanced to 12c per pound.
Buying for export to a feature of this
market. Ther are heavy inquiries
open from France and Great Britain.
Pig iron shows a good demand and
steel orders are increasing from ex-
porters. Operations of steel mills
show a gratifying increase and the
trade outlook is called encouraging. ’
The city of Austin invites bids from
those desiring to furnish the new City
Hospital with the necessary furniture.

Th* local cotton market experienced
a drop of half a cent all along the
nne yesterday. Hom* of th* Austin
cotton men attribute this drop to two
main cause*. First, the opening of
th* New York cotton exchange yes-
terday may have eaused somae un-
sett tom ent owing to th* speculnting In
futur**. Th* second reason was that
the more stringent requirements of
the insurance companies in regard to
shipping to neutral countries possibly
has created las* demand for the staple
in these countries.
The exporter In order to secure in-
surance on his cotton must now give
a guarantee that all cotton shipped to
a neutral country will not agnin be
exported to Germany or Austria. The
requirements also demand that the
exporter must bill his cotton to some
specific citizea of a neutral country
in addition te a guarantee thnt the
staple is not destined for Germany or
Aust ria.
Lard and shortening took a rise of
one-quarter cent, while dry salt
bellies and bacon bellies took a drop
of a quarter of a cent.
