FOREIGN EXCHANGE GOVERNED:
Again Controlled Stock Market,
70 Thursday-Some OF the
Movements.

New York, Oct. 24.-Foreign ex-
change was again the governing Tea
ture of the stock market yesterday.
Some speculative activity was
shown at the opening in Baltimore
and Ohio, Reading, Erie, Atchison,
Pennsylvania, st. Paul, Missouri Pa
cifc and the st. Joseph and Grand
Island securities, all Of which scored
slight advances. The rest OF the list
was fairly firm, with practically no
demand for the industrials. Further
activity was shown during the morn
ing session, when Louisville and
Nashville advanced two points, but
elsewhere the list made no material
change Operations continued al
most altogether professional, and
some traders covered their short con-
tracts on the theory that Ge market
had been oversold. The early gains.
with few exceptions, were soon lost.
but such issues as Louisville and
Nashville, st. Paul, Illinois Central
and Erie held steady. Sugar and In
ternational Power were about the
only industrials dealt in up to this
time, and transactions in the latter
stock were believed to be for pool
account. Up to the final hour there
was no decided pressure to sell, but
in the late trading such stocks as
Lackawanna, Baltimore and Ohio,
Kansas City Southern and a few IN
dustrials were hammered down 10
the lowest prices Of the day.

Sence OIL Bin Shakespeare's times.
The moon as round and the girls as

AS when Bill wrote his rhymes.

There was Byron, Dryden, an Alex

An honest Thomas Moore,
They sang Of girls, an of blasted hope,
An by the moon they swore.
The girls are the same as Bobby Burns
Sang in a sad refrain
The more man studies 'em, less he

Fer such research is in vain.
The moon an the women they make
no change,
As poets sing to-day;
The moons as round, an the girls as
strange,
An, that's the mournial lay.
The moon goes on, Jest as calm an

As round the world She whlrls-
They swear by the moon in the dreary

An swear about the girls.

they better unload-see.
Farmers are looking for an early
