UNION PACIFIC STRONGER. Buying Movement Causes Jump of Three Points in That Stock:

New York. Aug. 17.-Some slight dis position towards improvement was shown by the stock market today. There was little recurrent liquidation. of the shortts, who were more or less active throu ghout the session, served to depress ITices of many issues to a new low level. From this the list soon reversed itstelf and remained relatively steady until shortly before the close, when ano,ther selling movement oblit- erated majority of tho gains, the gen. eral leveA being lower than the pre- ceding day.
 The most encoura ging feature was the buying and resultant strength of Union 1cific which after selling down to yesta rday's low, suddenly rebounded and by midday had gained over three points,. Buying of Union Pacific today apparently emanated from substantial sourceS which, by the bye, have ve- hemeYltly denied much of the gossip D and ,eonjecture recently current and with equal emphasis denounced the sellin g of Union Pacific as having originated in obscure or irresponsible quarlers.
 UIfted States Steel was anothar stock that restricted support. at ad- vanc:ing prices, although turning heavy when offerings became too heavy. Nevertheless the stock was taken in la1 ge amounts, as attested in the days Ou FDuC or ZIl,OUO ShareS, ana the GD- sdfption was ascribed to interests en- t1rely conversant with existing condi- tinns in the steel industry.
 Taking the market as a whole how e'rer, many stocks displayed a distinct Backward tendency, particularly St. Paul, Reading. Lehigh Valley and ths Till issues. This was partly due to
 fhe prevalence of variety of rumors which embraced fear of further foreign iselling, probability of reduced divi- kdends and the political situation. The 3street was plainly discouraged over the l prospects of an indefinite prolongation a of the congressional session and the II apparent failure of the efforts to ad- | just the labor situation in England. To these were added intimations that suggested further financial dif7iculties

A U. p. STATEMENT.
President Lovett Says There Are No
 Dissensions in Board of Directors.

New York, Aug. 17.-President Lovett of the Union and Southern Pacific rail- roads authorized the following official statement late this afternoon.
 Ordinarily 1t is not the function of a railroad executive to take cogniza nee of stock market conditions, and I am especially averse to it, but during the last ten days Union Pacific has been singled out as the object of such an extraordinary number of baseless ru- mors SO consistently reiterated that it seems to me due our stockholders when such stories are designed to dis turb that I should state that there are no dissensions whatever in our board of directors. That the management from top to bottom is perfectly har- mon1ous; that change in the dividend rate has not been discussed or in any way considered, and aside from some encouragement of and additions to our organization, as r some time ago rer- commended, and which in due time will be made, no action has been taken or: is contemplated out of the ordinary"

MoNTVILLE VS. HOSPITAL
 IN ONE MORE GRAPPLE
Rival Baseball Camps Stirred Up By
 Coming Struggle.

Since the Montville team succeeded in putting over defeat on the Hos pital last Saturday. interest nas been growing among the supporters of these two rival baseball camps which indi- cates one of the biggest crowds of the season when the teams meet on Sat- urday again for another game on the Hospital diamond.
 Practically the same lineup can be looked for as in the last game, except that there will be one change in each team so far as known now. Mont vile is to have Norton playing instead of Geary, and the Hospital will have Sam Austin back on third instead of Bremen of Jewett City. W. Walsh, the victorious pitcher for Montville last week, will again shoot them over for the village team, while Bill Aus tin, captain of the Hospitals, will like wise again be on the firing line for his nine. Last weeks score of 3 to l shows how close the teams are matched and may be taken to show that it can be anybody's game when they meet again.

NO EXCUSE BY kEEFE.
Cincinnati Twirler Admits When He
 Is Out of Form.

Pitcher Bobby" Keefe- of the Gin cinnati Reds is nonali hurler. Bob never has any excuses to, make. If he is hit hard he admits that the opposing batsmen had their eye on the ball, all though he was dishing up his best stuff. If he is wild, he admits it and makes no excuses. In one inning of a game he pitched recently, keefe gave three men bases on balls and hit one man. The Reds had a pretty good lead and "Griff'' decided to leave him in and make him fight it out Bob" set tied down After the game someone asked Keefe why he was so wild in that inning. You saw why I was wild, didn't you?" answered Bobby" in his characteristic fashion, T couldn't get the ball over'' And that was the only alibi "Bob'' had to offer.

McAleer says the average min. or league pitcher has an easy time fooling hitters, and college pitcher doesn't need more than a curve ball. Most college pitchers have that and nothing more. he says.

Obliged to have the major portion of
his stock grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there has
been an enormous increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for com

in large measure to the development
of seed growing and handling as
business. There are now nearly q
thousand seed firms doing business in
the United States. One of the largest
of these uses buildings with an aggre-
gate floor space CT more than sixteen
acres. This space is much larger than
was occupied by the cntire seed trade
of the country only fifty years ago.
One of the most encoC. aging devel-

the practical Importance Of using pure
and uniform stocks of seed whose va

distinct local conditions and market
requirements. Another consideration

in farm practice or material increase

make this industry well worth the at

where soil and climatic conditions are
favorable for the best development of
such seeds.
However. the raising of these vege-
tables for seed crops Is not recon-

when soil and climate are suitable.
The farmer who contemplates under

to consider thoroughly the many ele

men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed at very low prices,
even lower than that at which grain
of the species can be sold on the mar

any of several causes. but usually
rests on an oversupply or demand
for an inferior product. The general
tendency now. however. is decidedly
in, th
dealers and seed growers can do much
by cooperation to further this tend

Dairy Doings.

Sameness in feed is no more con-
ducive to appetite in the COW than i'll
the human, and appetite is essential
to big production.
Treat your calves with considera-
ton. They should have grazing. plen-
ty of water and enough skimmilk and
grain to form balanced ration.
Kicking is very frequently caused by
sore teats. fnfiamed udders, long finger
nails and possibly at times by the gen.
eral awkwardness of the mixer.
The dairy barnyard should have
good slope. such as will insure good
surface drainage. and should have a
good top layer of gravel or cinders.
When buying COWS for the dairy Sc

being milk producers. but determine
this positively by the use of the Bah
cock test and the scale.
1t is not the way the cream is sepa-
rated from milk. but the way it is
handled after being separated. which
determines the quality of butter it will
make. If kept until it ferments it will
make poor butter.
