commentator and publicity than the

fer several years past had charge Of
a twenty acre orchard, which for some
time previous had teen badly neglect

spects the best care ne could Last

a few apples. but they were not up 10
the standard Of the western fruit
However. he kept bis eyes OPEN took
notes and pumped the western ranch
men as to just how they produced their

giving intensive. painstaking care 10
a few acres which made improved
methods possible. He acted on this
suggestion and devoted most of his
attention last season TO seven acres.
When De appeared at the fruit show
last November he had an exhibit which

Judges 10 be one of the very finest IN

the business side be not only received
a high price tor the choice apples left

No Urgent Pressure of liqui-
dation on Exchange.
DEMAND Is INDIFFERENT
Severe Decline After Election and the
Rebound Which Followed Seems to
Have Reduced Commitments Press
ing Fer Immediate Settlement.
(By Associated fress)

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-The specu.
lation in stocks displayed very little
initiative today. Prices moved slug
gishly and indecisively. The severe
decline after the election and the re-
bound which followed seemed to have
reduced the commitments pressing for
lmmdiate settlement to insignificant
proportions. Today there was no urg-
ent pressure of liquidation and on the
other hand. demand was Indifferent.
Final processes showed Insignificant
changes from last night The imme-
diate easing of the money market in
New York has not encouraged large
extension of speculative commitment
in stocks. The resources thus offered
in loans are suspected to be the pro-
ceeds of sales of stock holdings on a
large scale by interests often promi-
nent in stock market operations. The
position of power thus offered to re-
call credits and thus liquidation OF
stocks by present holders and at the
same time secure resources for repur-
chase of stocks to advantage in the
resulting decline suffered a technical
condition of the speculation that might
prove easily vulnerable to attack. The
suggestion instilled caution in the
dealings of which the dullness was q
consequence.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, SS52.000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call from last
week.
Total sales for the day were 49,
800 shares, including: Sugar, 200; At
