 London, December z1.-The fall in the securities Of cable companies which was commenced with the announcement of the success of Marconfs experiment in having signals transmitted across. the, ocean by his wireless system of biography has been continuous throughout the week. Since November IA. Anglo-American pre- ferreds have dropped ' points and ordi- nary shares have dropped points, while Eastern Telegraph was close second with fall of 5h points.
 Quite apart from the speculative bear movement. there has been a real selling of stock. The opposition of the Anglo American Company to .Marconi's experi- ments seems to have increased the appre- hension of cable companies as to the prob ability of serious competition in the near future.

nothing of the hundreds of other beauti- full toys that go to make up our Christ mas; there's dolls and animals, birds ana | fish, games of every description, something ! for all. The toy manufacturers nave out done themselves this year and nothing that walks talks, breathes or has any l part whatever in our life but that is du- | plicated in miniature that will gladden. some innocent heart. The most vivid mind of childhood could picture nothing that is not embraced in this rare collec- | tion of holiday novelties and Christmas | goods; the assortment is complete se- lected with the greatest care by one who | has made a study of the wants of the old, big, little and young, and has pre- pared this department with unusual care | selecting the best of everything and the | latest novelty in all. We intended telling you about the things we saw, but cannot; ; they have it all-go see for yourself. You'll find them at No. 2O2O Second av- enue and the name is The Fair.
 Had one a kodak to have taken few snap shots of the eager faces as they wended their way from place to place, all eager to see all happy over the thought of making someone else happy, the pictures would have been something to, keep, but we hadn't one, so couldn't; but for him who has or would like to kodak, no days are more filled with in- terest than those of the merry Christmas time. The holiday house party, the fam fly Christmas tree resplendent with the glistening tinsel that delights the younger hearts; the happy home circle that may scatter ere the next Christmas rolls around, in every one of these are pictures worthy of the camera, pictures that have an artistic side and are filled with a strong personal interest At this season one can secure snapshots that in years to come will bring back recollections of the happy days spent in the dear old home. The fortunate one who receives a kodak as a Christmas gift need not to wait for the summer season ere putting it to use; the witchery of kodakery knows no season; in every month it now pre- vails, and the Christmastide presents more opportunities for striking scenes than any other season.
 This is merely a suggestion and a good one, too,; no present could be more ap- proprite than a kodak and no place Is better equipped with all grades from the handsomest down to the little cheap one, than Is c. L. Ayres & Son, 1925 Sec ond avenue.
