BODY ADRIFT WITH
 PUPPY IS LOST

Chicago. September S.-A yellow antt white puppy believed to have been thes companion of the baby that was seen byi two boys floating in a soap box in the drainage canal Wednesday night, was taken from the water near Lamont, III.
 If the dog could talk, the police be-, lieve 1t could tell how the other passenger in the soap box-a 2-year-old chiid-de- scribed by the boy, was drowned in thei storm.
 The puppy had been fighting for llfeI in the water for hours. Its paws were, torn and bleeding. as if it had made many futile attempts to climb the bank.
 Hundreds of searchers who had patroled the banks of the canal for S6 hours, de- termined to maintain the vigil in the rel lays after the puppy was found. but they retained little hope of discovering the child, alive.

FLUCTUATIONS IN THE STOCK MARKET Sharp Rallies Meet Down. ward Tendency in
 Stocks

New York, September S-Tradins that was unsettled and at times 1eVei- ish resulted in fluctuations today oii the stock exchange The tendency was down and although there were several sharp rallies which temporarily reduced losses, several issues, including MS souri Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio' Den- yer and Rio Grande preferred ana Amalgamated Copper fell to new low points for the, year. The active ist sank to the bottom level or the long August decline.
 Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Read ing, United States Steel, Northern Pa- cific, Lehigh Valley, New York central and Smelling sold within fractions or the years low. Losses ranged, from to points with a partial recovery at the end. Selling converged largely on Reading and United States Steel. There' was evidence of New York selling In the London market, which was depress- ed before the opening here. London sold about 15,000 shares on balance, chiefly United States Steel and Union Pacific operations were governed to some extent by the cotton report, the cotton ginning report and the copper producers statement. The heaviest sell ing of the day followed the publication of the crop statement The slight inn provement in the condition of corn was not more than had been looked for, while the falling off in spring wheat of more than three points was uneX- pectedly favorable to the bear party The report of cotton ginning, the 1lrst of the season was exceptionally favor able. it closing the largest amount on record, and it's publication early in the day was followed by rally in stocks
 Copper shares sold off before the pub lication of the report and later rallied.
 While some surprise was expressed at the increase of more than 13,5OO pounds in production in August as com pared with July, domestic deliveries and exports surpassed expectation The decrease in stocks bring up the total shrinkage in the last ,nree months to 32,554 pounds.
 In connection with the heavy selling of United States Steel and the obvi- ousIy bearish attitude of many traders toward the stock, there was noted today the first slight falling off in steel mill operations compared with the average during August. The United States Steel corporation was reported to be at pres ent operating about 75 per cent of its capacity, decline of about per cenf.
 The call of the comptroller of the cur reney for reports of national banks as of September disclosed the fact that large New York banks did not reduce their holdings of stock during the Au- gust decline as greatly as might have been believed. Notwithstanding the heavy liquidation of stocks. the reports of seven of the largest national banks show a, a,stetal4decrease in holdings of securities between June ', the date Of the previous report, and September l of about 3,400,00 An increase of more than 43,000,000 since September 1, 1910, is shown, the result of heavy output of bonds during the year, in conjunction with easy money conditions.
 The bond market was heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,s62,000
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

WHEAT MARKET CLOSES TAMER Government Report Is Bull ish But Came Tee
 Late

Chicago, September S--Although the gov ernment figures on the wheat crop turned out to be bullish, the market here closed easy to Ac lower to hc up. If the Wash ington report had been available before trading had ended the finish would doubt less have been different. Latest transac- tions showed corn to be 15c under last nights finals. oats down hc to ss@1sc. and hogs unchanged to 12kc decline.
 It was generally expected the condition of spring wheat would be put by the gov ernment at about 59 per cent, indicating a crop of 212.0OO0o0 bushels. Instead the official announcement was 56.7 per cent, indicating the yield would be only 2Ss,- GOO, 900 bushels. While waiting for the news from Washington, dealers found business light and fluctuations light Signs of increased shipments from Rus sia, as well as from India and the Ar genuine, made the opening weak Later, however, the market hardened little on account of some foreign buying here. It was also rumored that 20 loads had been sold for export to Antwerp. A contrary prevailed in view of the north west weather conditions, and there was a dragging tendency evident when the gong sounded.
 Corn declined owing to a belief that the government figures on the crop would be increased. December fiuctuated be- tween O3as@631sc and 64c closing easy, asc at 631a@635sc. Cash grades were steaoy; No. yellow was quoted at 66466Ac.
 Oats, were depressed as a result of buying, fearing the result of a bearish report on corn.
 Selling by big packers tended to put provisions down. In no case, however, did the decline at the finish exceed 12lac.
