SHORTS MAKE RUN TO COVER
rAssoclnted Press1

NEW YORK, May 2.-The undertone
of speculative sentiment today re-
NAMED depressed and discouraged,
Notwithstanding an apparent tightening
of the active pressure of liquidation and
signs of hesitation on the part of the
shorts in pursuing the downward
course of prices with further sales.
The bears were inclined to cover
their shorts at frequent intervals to
establish fresh vantage point from
which to attack prices. Hence the re-
current checks to the decline and in
termttent rallies. AS prices were
forced lower, selling was forced by the
wiped out margins and uncoVerlng OF
stop loss orders.
Expressions on the part of the bank
ers of the inopportune money market
position for entering upon any specula-
tive campaign in stocks discouraged
payments in fulfillment of the three
days notices sent out to purchasers on
Friday were made on large scale,
and the regular May interest and divi-
dend payments were somewhat larger
than usual. 1t is expected that the
completion of these settlements will be
followed by the return of funds thus
released to them on market. The Eng
land reserve was replenished by more
arrivals of American gold, but the hol-
iday of the London stock exchange left
no medium for speculative appraise-
ment of that development. The foreign
exchange rate here declined further,
widening the margin away from the
profit.
Amalgamated Copper broke through
the lowest prices touched during the
whole of the year 1909. Unsatisfactory
demand and accommodating stocks gave
force to the rumors of an intended
sharp cut in prices of copper in some
such spasmodic fashion as iron and
steel prices were raised more than a
year ago
April exports of copper were shown
to have fallen off heavily without ef-
fectng any reduction in the reported
visible supply in London.
1t was commented upon that Penn
syvania suffered no more than the aV-
erage decline, ALTHOUGH the directors
refrained from advancing the dividend
rate. Returns of March net earnings
showed the eastern trunk lines rather
better off in the proportion of gross in
creases conserved for the net than in
the case of lines in some other parts
of the country.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound OF imperfect hearing. and
when It Is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

"BEAT STATE
Is The Slogan Taken Up By
Kenyon Students

Gambler, Oct. 26--The Kenyon foot
ball squad was given rest yesterday
from their hard work of the past
week. Today work was started in
dead earnest in preparation for the
Wooster game Saturday. 1t is gen
orally felt here that, with an even
break of luck, the score would have
been different in the game with Re-
serve last Saturday.
Skiles, who had to be carried from
the field Saturday, is much better, but
will probably be cut of the game Sat
urday.
With the state game just month
off, Coach Pierce is bending every en-
ergy to rounding of the team for this
game. 1t has been the ambition OF
late years to defeat state. This year
this ambition has by no means died
out and the slogan is, BEAT State"

SMALL CITIES
Show The Best Increase In
Census Battle

Washington, Oct 26-In addition to
the cities the census recapitulation
bulletin issued today gives the names
o Estates for which the census returns
have been published up to October 20.
They we're Rhode Island, Michigan,
Missouri, New Mexico, Delaware, Yer
mont and Massachusetts. The aggre-
gate population for these seven states
was 10,989,272, an increase Of 1896
per cent as against an increase of 1874
per cent during the decade of 1890 to
1900.
Forty-three cities of more than 100,-
900 population, and 159 cities of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 are given.
Commenting upon the facts presented
the bulletin says:
with the data for both groups Of
cities approaching completeness, 1t is
noticeable that the smaller cities as
group seem to have maintained dur
| ing the decade 1900 to 1910 a rate of
growth considerably above that main
tanned by the larger cities, the rate
for the aggregate population of the
smaller cities being 1913 per cent and
that for the larger 901.
There was no such contrast in the
decade 1890 to 1900, during which in
crease of the smaller cities in the ag
gregate was 1872 per cent and the
larger 321 per cent.
The returns for all the cities, which
in 1909 were in the 100000 class hav'
been received except for Los Angeles
and San Francisco and Minneapoli
and Memphis. Seattle, Wash. whicl
will go into the 100000 class, had no
reached that figure ten years ago.
The population of Jefferson county
Kentucky, containing the city of Lot
isville, as enumerated in the thii
