The Morning Break.

The declines OF the morning ran from
y a point to nearly 4 points, and the
manner in which prices broke showed
that fractions were not regarded by the
sellers.
Missouri Pacific was one of the weak
est spots going off 3s4 points 10 90
from an opening at 635s. st. Paul lost
IL. Pennsylvania a point. Louisville
and Nashville ia, Great Northern IL
Union Pacific held relatively steady al
point decline. Canadian Pacific was
dropped from I25}4 TO 12214. Reading did
not follow the severe breaks, being only
fra ctiOnally lower.
Copper declined Ia to 55a55%. Ana
conda points lower Steol common
touched %, and the preferred S5JL. Both
new lows on this break.
D. m--Here and there throughout tho
list there were slight recoveries during
the first hour Of the afternoon but the
list was, as rule, soft and without
resistance TO the bear attacks. Many
of the men who had been buying on the
slight rally at the opening Of the mar
ket turned aggressive sellers and the
generalization of the metal situation
killed off any bull movement.
Smelter turned very weak shortly af-
ter the opening and in the later opera
tons extended its decline until there was
a net loss of exactly points In tho
54lk.
The bull pool in Missouri Pacific fin
ished its liquidation. and the stock re-
covered a point Of its early loss L. &.
n. recovered its decline, and Union Pa
cihc lost net for the day. St Paul.
after touching 114ss. recovered to 11I5K.
Steel common made a new low at 24ss
and preferred also declined below the
lowest on this break. touching $40

The demoralized condition of the COP

made was 121k cents.
The Steel situation is said to be very

doesn't seem likely that there will be

The heavy selling has unquestionably
greatly increased the short line and tho

closely held stocks on the list, is be-

NEW YORK, Oct 1L-Noon-It was
case Of bears in clover, happy bears,
confident and serene and taking liber
ties with even the best railroad securi-
ties without apparent fear Of the NOR
row. 1t was a case OF tired and dis
gusted holders Of stocks taking their
losses and getting out OF market that
has wearled the soul of even the most
nervy bull and made glad the hearts
of the short sellers.
Moreover the banks have started q
discrimination against Industrials. there
by giving brokers trouble In borrowing
and confirming the general reports OF
bad Industrial conditions.
Wall Street has had more than one ex-
Perience Of Generalization partially due
to the condition of the copper market
The very fact that there is an over
production OF copper has made the users
OF the metal standpatters for just as
low prices as they can force. Not only
are prices for the copper stocks melt

Corporation shares are being thrown on

lnatinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing
methods Of describing spiral growth
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere and
therefore, for the sake Of consistency.
it may be preferable to describe the
two kinds Of spiral tendency as re
spectiyely "clockwise" and Counter
clockwise," which latter can be short,
ened to "counterwise. The honey
suckle and the hop turn "clockwise,
while the convolvulus and the scarlet
runner bean twine "counterwise." Ex-
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis,
cover whether the deviation of the
twist was innate or merely from the
direction of the light, disclosed The
fact that the plant possesses an inclina
ton resembling the instinct of animals,
Of proceeding in a given direction, and
resents any attempt to force it other
wise.

not all that has engrossed the big brain
Of Sam Lancaster, says writer In
Breeders Gazette. AS manager Of
the waterworks he saw chance to do
things. Jackson had no park. and near
the waterworks there was needed q
raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made
the fill, and before any one knew what
he was up to he had built fine lake

An unsightly railway yard adjoined

made the yard and the park join.
Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty, order,
seats, comfort. inspiration, hope, all
came out of that old sink hole. And
the manager only grinned when he
saw that Sam Lancaster had actually
parked and fenced part Of his
right Of way. Now travellers on that
