BIG RUSH TO SELL:
Bears Make Another Raid on the Wall
Street Market

New York, Sept. 26.-Another out
burst of selling on the stock exchange
when trading began today carried
down prices swiftly. AS the gong
sounded the opening of business on the
floor of the exchange there was a rush
to sell. The crush was greatest at the
posts at which Union Pacific, the cop
per and the steel shares are sold The
gains made yesterday afternoon in the
recovery of the early depression were
largely swept away in a few minutes
The confusion in the crowd of strug-
Cling brokers around the steel post was
SO great that for some time it was
impossible to determine the changes in
price.
The first transaction was a block of
1900 shares at SIS q and 54ss, an ex-
treme loss of u. The price soon fell
to 81. L. S. Steel preferred lost 1 a
Union Pacific declined Is and other
active railroad shares a smaller
amount The copper stock developed
further weakness and American Cot

hour of excited selling the character of
the market changed abruptly. Buying
orders appeared in sufficient volume to
cause a quick upturn. U. S. Steel
bounded up points and Union Pacific
nearly as much. Losses throughout
the list were soon eliminated or re-
duced to small amounts

Absorption Process
Makes Faces Young
lFrom The Home Makerl

Success has at last come to scien-
fists who for years have sought some
effectual method of removing the outer
facial skin cases of unsightly COM
plexions, which would be both painless
and entirely non-injurious. The new
process is so simple, the means so ordi-
nary, so inexpensive, the wonder is
that no one had discovered the same
long ago
It has been amply demonstrated that
common mercolized wax, to be had at
any drugstore, completely removes, by
gentle absorption, all the withered,
lifeless cuticle, showing the youthful,
roselike skin underneath. The mercoI-
lied wax is applied at night-like cold
cream, but not rubbed in-and washed
off in the morning. The absorption
also cleanses clogged pores, increasing
the skins breathing capacity and
capillary circulation, preserving the
tone, color and natural beauty Of the
new skin.

nor insignia have place on the ball
lots In the event of a candidate re-
ceiving a majority vote he will be de-
clared elected without having to par
ticipate in the general election to fol-
low.
The contest for the mayoralty out
weighs all other issues. There are but
two prominent candidates. James
Rolph, jr., and p. H. Mccarthy, in
cumbent. Ostensibly at least, Mayor
McCarthy's ambition to succeed him
self is backed by the union labor par
ty which placed him in office two
years ago, while Rolph has the sup
crat parties. Although the campaign
has aroused intense interest it is pc
culiarly lacking in exchange of dis
courtesy between the candidates and
their supporters Only one city paper
has given its support of Mccarthy.
There are no direct issues involved.
Both candidates are pledged to work
for the success of the Panama-PES%e1ic
International exposition in 1915.
Rolph is q new conner to political
life. He is a merchant of large local
interests and has never before sought
public office though long active in civ
ic affairs.
Mccarthy has risen from the ranks
of labor to the leadership of the la

over the Republican and Democrat as
