WALL STREET TO-DAY.
fSnecial from United Pressl ]

 New York, Oct. 21.-Opening-A weak tone prevailed at the opening of the stock market, today, and open- ing prices showed material fractional losses. After the initial trading, however, the market .steadied with some slight recoveries.
 il a. m.-After a moderate rally following the opening, the market again became heavy and in the last half of the hour prices shared in a general downward movement. Government bonds unchanged, oth- CT bonds irregular.
 Closing.-The feature in the last hour was the heaviness of c. & O., which was supplied at constant con sessions, showing a net loss of over points. The leading industrials and railroads were heavy and, although there was no special pressure, even prices of those stocks yielded frac- tionally. Reading was almost entirc- ly professional all through the fore noon with most of the selling being apparently for short accounts.

Inventor House Fears Halloween
 Franks Of Boys
His Green Hedge Painted Black, He Fears Further
 Expectations

Henry A. House. the mechanical engineer famous as the designer of a flying machine run by steam that scared years ago at test in Eng land, and the inventor of many me- chanical devices, addressed himself to Director of Public Works M. A. Ken ny today.
 MT. House fears that mischievous youths living near his residence, 705 Wood avenue, are planning to play Halloween pranks upon him. At the adjoining house there have been roof painters at work. They left a quan- tity of roof paint in the street. With in the last few days the youngsters have used the tar point to decorate MT. Hedge'se hedge, his curb and walks.
 This morning he recollected that Halloween is but a few days away and bethought himself of taking steps to have the tar paint removed for fear what the youths have done is but a forerunner of what may happen. He requested the director of public works to see that the stuff was taken from the street, and the official promised to give the matter his prompt attention.
