Additional Depression.

Sentiment was additionally depressed
by the reflection that the bank state

not the b. nks been in extraordinary re-

S6,oeo.0e0 gold from various sources and
that such re-enforcements are now ap-
parently at an end.
The securities market, which had been
weak before the publication of the bank
statement on renewed disappointment
over the failure of the coal enference,
sold off rapidly after the statement ap-
peared. Heavy Liquidation set in and
al the close prices were lower than at
any previous period in the present down
ward movement.
The news OF the day. apart from the
bank statement, comprised chiefly the
statement of the Rock Islands net in

NEW YORK, Oct 11-Wall Street
received an unpleasant surprise today in
getting bad bank statement when a
good one was expected. A loss by the
banks of $250,1 700 in cash was reported
instead of the expected gain OF $780,
oO0 while loans. instead of decreasing
heavily as might have been supposed
from the liquidation of the week, in
creased s2.3i4, 200.
The loans OF the clearing house insti-
tutions now seem to be ruling steadily
above the deposits held. a phenomenon
which has not been witnessed since the
trouhlous times of 1898 and 1896 The
bank statement exhibited a decrease in
surplus reserve of 1921. $50. as calcu>
lated under the system in vogue before
Secretary Cages order allowing the
banks not to consider as deposits Gov
ernment money deposited with them,
and it also showed a decrease in sur
plus reserve of sS25.s25 under the new
method of reckoning.
The speculative community in general
was puzzled. not TO say troubled. by the
statement. Various explanations of
i; were offered. As plausible a reason
as any for the unexpected showing is
perhaps that the liquidation of the week
has resulted chiefly in a reduction of
loans made by out-of-town banks and
trust companies rather than of the loans
made by clearing house institutions As
the operations of these frst-named in
stitutions do not figure in the bank
statement this would account lor the
failure of the statement to show the
decrease in loans in gross that has actu-

Is best TO have prairie or tame grass

their stock on the rape from other

A Plant Poisonous to Horses.

We presume that all OF our readers
are familiar with the first plant here
shown. as IL is very common on farms
over very large part OF the country.
IL is known as Horsetail (Equisetum

the left represent the fruiting stems.
which are pale yellowish in color and
come up in early spring (April-May)
from the roofing branch below. In
the center Is such an underground
branch bearing bulbs or tubers. From
these same underground parts the

shoots arise a little later (May and
June) as represented at the right

lie could give no reason for it. but

Not long ago one OF the stations In
the West investigated similar trouble
and found IL due to the presence OF
lead dust. The lead dust had become
mixed with the beet pulp by the pulp
being transported In cars In which
lead ore had been hauled. This Is a
factor that must be looked out for. as
the railroad men probably do not know
that they are endangerlng the lives
