NEW YORK, Sept .9-Stocks showed
some evidence of frmness in the first
hour or the trading, and up to the time
OF the publication of the bank statement.
me movement in railroad stocks was ex-
ceeolngly narrow, and the selling move
ment, though not very pressing. was suf-
nclent to bring the general level Of prices
peloW those OF last night. Tennessee
Coal COMPOUNDED the bears again by soar
ing an additional points up, and. after
reactlng 37a, recovered to within points
or the top. Colorado Fuel continued to
snow sympathy and rose over points be-
lore the late reaction and to these a
continued large demand for Manhattan
ana sympathetic strength in Metropolitan

International Paper and Lackawanna,

the market are about exhausted The
Lemon exchange was closed for day,
anu the resultant depression from that
center was lacking. Paris was looked to
Tor reflection of foreign sentiment, and
the view there seemed to be a cheerful
one.
In view OF the pessimistic forecasts that
nave been heard all week regarding the
Dank statement, the bears had a feeling
early In the session that a Door statement
mao been more than discounted and were
inclined to cover. But the statement
showed q loss In cash quite 2,000,0 600 in
excess OF the most unfavorab BILE previous
estimates. The comparison In the aver
age total of cash for sixty DAYS with
the average for the preceding six business
days: AS the totals have been on a de-
scendlng scale the average understates
the actual total The contraction Of
so'olo'fOo In loans reduced the reserve re-
qu'rements by about s1,50O,OO0 Other
wise the surplus above legal requirements
would be below a million. It is believed
the treasury would consent to leave on
deposit with New York banks the pay
ments for taxes next week. but this would
only partly relieve the decline, as the de-
mand from the South will continue. and
no increase is case reserves would result
from the measure itself. 1t Is evident
therefore, the process of loan contraction
Is to continue for the immediate future.
The bond market has only been mod
erately active during the week. and
prices have not yielded as sharply as in

l have 1t on the best possible author
ity that the report concluded with the
following categorical sentences:
The troops Of your majesty are not
only ready to make a threatening di-
version. but can seriously injure the
English interests and power. Re-
volts may break out among the natives
and in the countries lying south Of
Herat. But Cor carrying on war, ever

10 the little town of Flo,naton and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was a
good wife and mother but several years
ago she found her health slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely lose for her the afec-
ton Of her children and husband, and
that as her health declined discord and
misery would appear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in
stinct, but two miscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She had almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and the light Of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words:
II was almost heart broken 10 think l could
not raise any more children and had to suffer as
I did. l had lost two children by ,aiscarriages

New Battisship Practically . Seventeen
Knot Vessel.
BOSTON, Nov. -. Against tide, wind
and with a heavy head sea for at least
half her course the new battleship
Kentucky made a record Of IL. S77 knots
an hour on her official speed trial over
the government course from Cape Ann
to Boone Island, and by her work she
showed that she is a little faster than
her sister ship. the Kearsarge. which
recently was sent over the same course.
The trial showed her builders, the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company, that she can justly be
rated as a l7-knot vessel, although her
contract calls for only l6 knots. They
expect that when the figures of the
trial are revised and tidal allowances
made it will be found that she actually
averaged II knots on her run.
