Oxen in Massachusetts

From the Hampshire Gazette.
 J. D. Avery of Shelburne Falls is surely the king of oxen in this part of the country. At the Brattleboro fair this week he had the most wonderful exhibit of oxen and in all tho tests of strength for pulling heavy boa atloads of stone his oxen have cleaned the decks. One of the secrets in these tests is the way the oxen are managed and driven. Mir. Av- cry does his own driving and is a master at the business. Yesterday again, as he did the day before, he cleared everything before him in the oX-pullng ring by talk ing all three prizes ill the free-for-al, class and first and second in the $500 class.
 The load drawn in the $500 class was about 3100. while the veteran OK man made an exhibition pull of nine feet in the free-for-all class with fancy pair of Devons with load of lO.23S. which is the biggest load drawn at Brattleboro since he pulled over 11,000 with his famous pair of Holstens.

STOCK MARKET
 SHOWS ADVANCE Bears Are Unable to Bring About Weakness in
 the Market

New York, October 20.-Erratic move- nlent again characterized the stock mar ket today, although it exhibited a con- sistently firm undertone. The market Gcsed with substantial gains ranging from 1 to points among the active stocks, but the advance seemed to rep resent more the temorary advantage ot one faction than a genuine enhancement Of market values.
 Although activity increased on both sides of the market, the bears were not alle to bring about such periods of weak ness as they produced yesterday.
 According to the gossip of the street. q large pool was at work in United States Steel. Evidences of manipulation in va rjous parts of the list were plain. More than 5000 shares of United States Steel were thrown on the market within a few minutes After series of fluctuations the market took on renewed activity be- fo.e the close and in the last 30 minutes prices were carried up rapidly. Transac- tlsns in United States Steel constituted one-half of the total mornings business. Although sales thus far this month are estimated at more than 100,000,000 pounds. n large increase in surplus stocks at the end of October is expected
 Declarations of an initial dividend on American Beet Sugar common, placing 1t on a per cent basis, had been discounted some time ago, although the stock made a further advance to 59s4c, its highest price on record.
 Foreign exchange rates after exhibiting frmness early in the session became weak. Fluctuations in exchange are watched with unusual interest at this time, as the rates have approached terms on which gold could be shipped to London CT Paris. Known movements of money during the week indicate a small loss of cash by the banks.
 Trading in bonds was on smaller basis today. Prices improved after early irreg- ularity. Total sales, par value, S2,002s00o United States bonds were unchanged on cali.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. october 20.--A better de- mand in Liverpool from the continent ab- sorbed the offers abroad at the opening decline so that that market called for an advance here but the south sold nur- ing the first hour on the failure of frost to appear during the night. Further frost predictions led to the covering by several of the local trade, who also received many teegrams from the southern markets that a better demand was in evidence upon a higher basis than of late. Under this demand the market finally clo sed very steady. some 10 points higher ihan yesterday. and the trade outlook for bet ter market here and abroad tomorrow, based on the possibility of frost over Sunday, together with an expected de- mand from continental spinners.
 On our close Liverpool should advance to , points tomorrow.

The Perfect Putterer

From the Atlantic.
 The art of puttering consists of doing for yourself slowly and ineffciently what you can pay someone else to do for you quickly and well. It is hard work that YOU do not have to do, strenuous loafing that invites the soul.
 The putterer works in pure love, and If the product prove a poor thing 1t is at least his own. TO be a perfect put terer is to receive a liberal education.
 Puttering is tonic relaxation from tho mechanical efficiency of our professional selves, a corrective of the extreme spe- cialzation that would otherwise result in our becoming all foot or head or hand The putterer makes laws and breaks law and breaks laws that he makes. He pro- duces startling variations from type. An inspired fool he is a true creator.

While prices are still unchanged. Morris avenue merchants are not com plaining of a laxity of'trade. Instead. they report trade yest<rday as being decidedly brisk. Demand for all sup plies was good but not abnormal. Bus mess, however, bids fair for rise in prices, it is thought, for either today or Monday.
