WALL STREET FURRY
Violent Fluctuations anLISpec-
uIative Excitement
BUT NET CHANGES SMALL
Flour and Milling Stocks
Make a Notable Slump.

! New York. Sept. 2O.-This was a day of
violent fluctuations and great specuia-
! tive excitement upon the stock exchange.
The movement of prices was so feve-ish
and uncertain that the disposition among
professional operators was generally to
close up accounts with the day. As con-
| sequence net changes are astonishingly
small considering the wide vibration dur
ing the day. In only few instances do
they exceed fractions and though the ma
tority of stocks are lower there Is a fair
sprinkliag of gains. There was a time III
the morning when a long list Of special
ties had advanced between l 1-2 and
points and during the afternoon they fell
very generally TO as much below last
nights level. The index of the market
all day was Brooklyn Transit, the deal
ings in which were on an enormous scale.
With a total capitalization OF $4,000
shares, today's dealings in this stock
footed up 2S5,1 lis shares. 1t advanced
ga after the opening fell IA to a new
low level at 70 1-2 and then re-traced its
course, rising points 10 So 1-2 and clos
ing ar the high level of the morning. The
whole market followed in its wake in
general way, though its erratic huctua-
tons were impossible 70 follow at all
times The market was a gigantic specu-
lative contest throughout The bears
broke down the gains which had been
built up in the morning. with apparently
little effort. and dislodged some very
heavy offerings on the decline from hold
ers who had vainly hoped that the fall
in prices had come TO an end. There was
large selling through commission houses
and the food Of industrials poured upon
the market was said to be due to the call
ing of some large loans in which these
stocks figured as collaterals and had to
be sold to liquidate.
There was some important develop
ment today in the money situation The
rise in New York exchange at Chicago
and the advance in the call loans at some
other eastern cities indicates that the
western demand for money has been
shifted 10 some extent from New York.

Strength Is REVIVED
September Wheat "a Cent
Higher; December IL.
CORN CLOSES UNCHANGED
Oats Unchanged to Higher
Provisions Advance.

Chicago, Sept. 2O-Wheat speculation
showed considerable revival today. The
market ruled dull early in the session but
gradually gathered strength and closed
at an advance of Sac for September and
lie for December. Corn closed un-
changed; oats unchanged to lie higher
and provisions PIP to TIC higher.
Wheat opened with a continuation OF
the firmness which has for two days puz-
liquidation and heavy receipts the market
stubbornly resisted professional short sell
ing. Liverpool reflected the advance here
yesterday, being quoted LIE higher. De-
cember opened a shade higher at 20 5-SGI
3-4c, and advanced 10 20 5-Sc and slowly
eased of to 70 1-2c. Chicago received 161
cars compared with 213 a year ago. Min
reapolis and Duluth reported 721 cars,
against Gl7 week ago, 912 the correspond
ing DAY of last year. Primary western
markets received 100000 bushels, or 272 O0)
bushels less than last year. Atlantic port
clearances, wheat and -four, were equal
to 411,0g0 bushels. Duluth reported 16O, 900
bushels sold for export. New York report
ed sales of forty boatloads. Half an hour
from the close local shorts attempted to
cover. Offerings were I'D extremely
scarce and December vas bid up through
calls, to Il lac. The close was at Il 1-S0
lac. Trade in September was small but it
closed at the top, Il 3-8c.
Corn was erratic, owing to the squeeze
in the September option. Local receipts
were 767 cars. Atlantic port clearances
were 637 $50 bushels. Il was claimed that
yesterdays sales for export amounted to
100 Eoatloads. Trade in December was the
ordinary character. It opened at 90 Lac,
sold between 29 and % 1-2c and closed un-
changed at 29 1-4c.
Oats ruled firm under a scattered nqui
dalton. Receipts were q cars Atlantic
clearances amounted to 900 bushels.
Cash demand clack. December sold be-
tween q Sc and 22c and closed lac net
higher at q 7-Sc.
Provisions ruled firm and slightly
higher throughout. A fair cash demand
caused the better tone, but speculative
interests continued at a low ebb. January
pork sold between S9.55 and $9.G5, closing
Z 1-2c net higher at 50. 50 IL. January lard
ranged between $5.4 and $5.52 1-2 and
closed sc higher at $3.50. January ribs
ranged at 4.97 1926 .O2 1-2 and closed at

Among the milk personalities, which
include salicylic acid, borax and boric
acid, the disinfectant formaldehyde Is
the newest, and it is probable that the
Omaha "preservaline" is a preparation
Of formaldehyde. Not long ago the
New Jersey state health department
prosecuted some 80 or more dairymen
for using formaldehyde.
Very little of this antiseptic or any
other has been used by dairymen who
send milk to New York. undoubtedly
because the farmers fear the New York
health department. The sanitary code
says that nothing must be added to or
taken from the pure milk as it comes

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.

The Difference Being Well Dressed

a great deal of difference in this world,

when the assistant secretaries are here

more difficult than you can imagine to

all kinds of excuses to remain and to

A writer in the Jersey Bulletin says
he or she has but one COW in Il herd of
20 that has ever gone dry more than q
month at time before calving. That
COW was brought into the herd and
was dry three months before she drop
ped the calf. With her next calf
she went dry about six weeks and
does so now. Most of the herd have
never been dry at all since they had
the first calf. Although the milk is
not used in the dairy for 4 month be-
fore they calve, they are milked regu-
larly, and no difference can be seen be-
tween the we'll fed cow that does not
go dry at all and other COWS that go
dry one or two months so far as
health, yigor or lasting qualities go. 1t
is largely a matter of habit. and if a
heifer is allowed to go dry after her
first calf she is more apt to go dry a
little longer the next time.
