West German mark rises after European rate revaluation
The West German mark strengthened against the dollar by about two tenths of a cent after a coordinated revaluation of seven currencies linked in the snake exchange rate system. The dollar slid to 2.44 marks, with the seven currencies pledged to limits of 2.25 percent. The move aims to steady rates among Belgium Luxembourg Denmark the Netherlands Norway Sweden and West Germany, with broader effects expected on the pound franc and lira.

Pumpkins In Short Supply Amid Mixed Harvest Signals
Louise Cook reports that pumpkins may be scarcer at stores and roadside stands this Halloween, though checks suggest plenty of jack o lantern pumpkins overall. USDA lacks complete 1976 data and notes rumors of slim crops recur before peak selling seasons, with fresh market pumpkins counted at major terminal markets. Prices vary by size, from 2.50 to 4.50 dollars, and growers like Gerald Huber of Starlight Indiana say size is excellent this year.
