MARKET HELD UP WELL
In Face of the Numerous Failures
During the Week.

New York Oct. 24-The stock market
has shown good resistance this week to
the depressing influence of the trust
company and bank failures in Baltimore
and Pittsburg. This has caused the
hope that necessitous and forced liqui-
dation in the stock market has been
completed, although the belief IS gen
eral that further contraction and reac-
ton are to be looked for in business and
industrials. The effect of accumulate
of reserves following liquidation OF Sc
curities has been seen in the growing
ease of the money market ana the
growth of an investment demand for
railroad bonds

Numerous kicks are being sent in to
the station about small boys playing
football on vacant lots. Perhaps the
people want the boys to play in the cell

lice fail to see how three or four little
boys can injure any one with the pos
sible exception of themselves by falling
on ball and rolling around on a va
cant lot. But somehow the neighbors
can't see it that way, and continue to
knock. Some of them should have an
ordinance passed prohibiting children
from playing on penalty of death.
