NEW YORK, November 19.-The
selling pressure to-day again proved
more than the market could absorb
and prices are very generally there as
a result. There are few exceptions
both in the railroad and industrial de-
partments, but the strength in these
few stocks was not free from an ap-
pearance Of manipulation by the bulls
for the purpose Of sustaining the mar
ket and encouraging renewed buying
for the advance. The onward course
of prices promptly set in after the
market had opened generally higher.
Easier money in London and the ex-
tent of the advance for Americans
prompted some speculative ventures in
that market and there were stories ca
bled from abroad CT great trunk line
cons oldations, showing that the ru-
NOR monger had been RECALLING the
British public with the same kind OF
fare as that which has been offered in
Wall street for some time past. The
lower prices here in New York at

ers which served as a sustaining in
fiuence, but on the continued evidence
of depression, London turned seller and
liquidated very heavily, the sales on
balance being estimated at upwards OF
10000 shares. Selling from domestic
sources was also very large. The
railroads as a rule were most affected
and many standard stocks were forced
a point or over below Saturdays level.
In the late dealings a strong demand
developed for Northern Pacific, which
carried that stock up 2Ss to 6SA.
Great Northern preferred rose easily

wlilo it affected the market generally
AMI drove the bears to cover, did not
hold, long stock coming out. on the adj
vance. When the bears perceived this
they made a fresh attack. and drove
prices down again and while the level
of the market did not fall generally
to the early low point, the closing was
active and easy. Amongst the points

to be of no importance. There was no
actual news development to account
for the dfA,nward course OF prices and
it was largely due to technical causes.
The inbred custom Of professional
operators to take the bear side of the
market against a public bull position
asserted itself, and there was solid
opinion to be heard that the rise in
prices had overrun itself and that a
reaction was overdue. The money
market was closely scanned for signs
of diminishing resources. Call money
hardened slightly, but eased off again
in the late dealings. New York ex-
change at Chicago also fell from a
small premium to small discount.
The sterling exchange rate held steady
in spite of the slightly firmer money
rate here and an easier rate in Lon
don. The supply of grain and cotton
bills has been much diminished and
exchange ports surmise that the firm
ness of exchange indicates an accu-
mutation going on for some purpose,
probably subscriptions to foreign loans.
The volume of business in bonds as
well as In stocks was considerably
diminished, but prices Of bonds held
flrmer than those Of stocks. Total

ed an increase Of 1.65o 600 bushels. On
the decline, early buyers offered freely,
but found considerable difficulty IN dis
posing of their wheat Northwest re-
ceipts were $50 cars, against Sls last
week and 1926 year ago. Chicago
receipts were IS cars, one OF contract
grade. Total primary receipts were
1,312,000 bushels. Seaboard clearances
of wheat and -four amounted to 4S3,00O
bushels. December wheat opened at
71%@%c compared with Saturdays
closing price of 71Bc. 1t sold at 71ssc,
then declined irregularly to 70Ac.
where it closed.
Corn was irregular, active for No
vember and rather dull for the other
months. The opening in all options was
firm with wheat and on the unfayorable
weather. Shortly after the opening
jump of nearly four cents took place
in November due to fears of squeeze.
Corn mesout freely at the top, how
ever, the leading seller bing the spec
ulator who is said to control the situa-
ton and prices declined rapidly. De-
cember, after showing frmness for a
time, declined on the heavy visible in
crease and in sympathy with wheat and
closed weak Receipts were 469 cars.
December ranged from 35B@36c to 351s
and closed ZEE lower at 35aQAc.
Oats were dull throughout. Early,
some strength was shown with other
grains and with the unfayorable wealth
er but easiness developed in December
later as wheat and corn declined. No
vember was helped some by the No
vember corn strength. Receipts were
124 cars. December ranged from 221s
to 21%@7sc, and closed &c lower at
21%@%Zc.s November closed 2111c, an
advance of &c.
Provisions were dull throughout but
showed some strength early in spite
of the lower yard prices and heavy re-
ceipts This was due mostly with SYM
pathy with grain. Packers were not in
the market and little outside interest
was shown. The range of prices was
narrow. January pork closed 21sc high
er at 81 621a; January lard unchang-
ed at S6 IS and January ribs 21se high
er at S6 %.

rule throughout the market with evil
dences of increased activity along GER

METAL.

NEW YORK, November 19.-Aside
from little activity in tin, the local
metal market displayed very little ami
nation to-day. Prices on all grades
remained unchanged except the above
mentioned and this was caused by the

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors. were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
P%rostration or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean ont the
system and stop fermentation of uulii-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organ
ic action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dali and bad
with headaches aud other aches. You
only need q few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form. to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by A. S.

w j. Bryan in a speech delivered at
Abingdon, ILL.,, to a gathering Of college
boys, spoke one truth that all Young
men should heed. He said that he ber
lieved that all men should form early
standards of life. No more potent or
universal truth was ever promulgated
and every young mar will do we'll to
stop and consider tho matter. Let us
look around us, for instance, and how
many men can we find who have
changed their methods Of life or al
tered their standards of life after they
have reached forty years Of age Not
very many of such mel can be found.
There are the exceptional few of course.
They are necessary to prove the rule.
SO, after all, a man is what he makes
himself while a young a Conduct,
companions and general habits are
what mould character, and as they are
good Or evil, SO will be the after life.
And rs the early life is full of activity
idleDess, so will be the years that
follow. Young men should put their
standards high and use every talent
given them, or that can be acquired, to
bring his life up to his standard. Mr..
is most assuredly right.

THE EDITOR ENJOYED IT.-An edi-

DIR. Tanner ashamed of himself, was
being escorted to heaven by an angel

pose.
"May | look at that other place be-
fore we ascend to eternal happiness ~
easily" said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around, taking in the sights. The angel
lost track of the editor, and went

The Farmers Are In The Saddle.

For the first time in years the cotton
farmer within reach of a Roundlap bale
plant finds himself independent of COM
presses and bagging and tie men. who
have grown rich out of the monopoly
they have enjoyed of covering and COM
pressing his cotton. Besides enabling
