TRIVIAL CHANGES|ON A down GRADE
Shown in Prices of Stocks Again at
the Close of the Market
Yesterday.

New York, Sept. 27.-The conges.
ton of speculative operations in
Reading today, and the suspicion OF
artificiality in the movement of that
stock, has repressive rather than
stimulating effect on the general
speculative movement. The tactics
Of traders consisted altogether in
watching the trend Of the movement
in Reading and in attempts to the
movement OF that stock, or their ven
lures In other stocks in consonance
with the fluctuations OF Reading.
The news regarding the Reading
developments was as vague and as
various as yesterday. United States
Steel had its usual primary market
to Reading with volume less than
one half that of the latter stock, with
Union Pacific for third in amount OF
dealings. Readings proportion to
whole market reached 81 per cent.
Prices at the end of the day were
at the lowest and showed trivial net
losses.

H0XsEY IN WRIGHT MACHINE
At the Greatest Fair on Earth, the
MilIIon-DoIlar Worlds Exposl.
ton at Springfield, To Be
Held Sept. 3o-Oct 8.

Arch Hoxsey, the Wright aviator who
startled thousands by his daring work
at aviation meets at Detroit during
Elks week, at Asbury Park, IRdianapo-
lis, and the Minnesota State Fair. and
who is scheduled to appear In daily
flights with Wright aeroplanes during
state fair week, Sept. 30Get. 8, is a
most likable young man.
Hoxsey is rs years of age and has
been In every department OF the speed
game where daring and nerve Of the
highest order are called for. He has
driven high powered racing cars In
the Eastern classics, he has rsdden
motor cycles In exhibitions on saucer
tracks, he has gone aloft In gas bal
looms and also In dirigibles and now
he is known as one Of the worlds
greatest operators of aeroplanes.
Hoxsey has travelled all over the
world and has had many thrilling AK
perlences during his work In various
departments of the speed business.
He has never been hurt, that Is SER
iously, yet he Is carefulness itself
while making preparations for flight
In his biplane. He is q thorough
master OF the gasoline engine, he un-
derstands aviation from the scienti-
fic side as well as the practical and Is
so competent that he does things in
his aeroplane that make his teachers,
the Wright Brothers, stop and look.
During his flights Hoxsey does stunts
that bring the crowds to their feet and
causes them to yell their admiration
Wires and poles do not erect MIN
and he succeeds in doing what he
promises--startle the crowds.
At Detroit Hoxsey was the favorite
because of his more frequent flights
and his daredevil handling Of his
strange craft There apparently was
nothing ne wouldn't try ana luckily ne
succeeded In every attempt. He didn't
seem to realize that he was In any
danger, but to the crowd, uninitiated
IN the ways OF aeroplanes, 1t appeared
time after time that he could not pos
sibly reach the ground alive In maxi
Ing sharp turns, in diving suddenly
towards the earth, only to catch him
self, and go sailing OFF, clipping the
grass, then swooping around into the
home stretch of the mile track and
whizzing by the grandstand In bstwesR
the lines Of telephone poles, Hoxsey
kept the crowd gasping. At the end
Of each of his exhibitions the thou
sands in the stands rose as one man
and cried Bring him over here, bring
him over here" Hoxsey Is a modest
youth, we'll groomed, fine figure OF
d young American, and he was kept
busy bowling his acknowledgements 1t
was when he flew down the home
stretch however, and brought his
machine to the ground, directly in
front OF the stand, that the crowds
went Wild This feat capped the climax
of several days of flying and Hoxsey
won a warm spot in the hearts OF the
crowds because of his daring.
