STOCK MARKET
CLOSES sIR0NC
Scarcity of Supply Held Responsible
for Forcing Quotations
Higher. /.
HARTMAN STOCKS STEADIER

New York, Sept 5.-Stocks closed
strong to-day on fairly active trading.
The tone of the early market was firmer
than on yesterday. but trading In the
early session was dull. The strength
was due not so much to any insistent
demand for stocks as to the scarcity OF
supply, so that only a moderate demand
easily forced quotations higher. Gains
of a point or so were registered IN the
early dealings in Reading, Lehigh VAL
ley Canadian Pacific. Anelgamated-
Smelling and Steel, with Few less
material gains in railway and industrial
shares.
Sears-Roebuck moved up more than 3
points in anticipation of increased divi-
dends or rights to stockholders, ana
American Snuff made a new high record
by way of acknowledging the action OF
its directors in placing the issue square
ly on the u per cent basis. Texas COM
pany moved up a couple of points by
midafternoon on buying for the in
creased dividend.
Metal shares Higher.
The Hill and Hartman stocks were
steadier than yesterday and moved up
fIactionally on moderate demand. St
Paul reflected yesterdays statement or
earnings. The so-called grangers are be-
ginning TO throw of the influence of the
recent postponement OF advance in COM
modify rates and yielding moderately TO
assurances of a big crop movement.
Metal shares were higher. The cop
pers reflected a strengthening of the
metal in London and the expectation that
the producers statement expected 10 be
issued next Monday morning II not on
Saturday of this week, will show good
IN,
the recent decrease in the Europa visible
supply. Steel shares reflected the latest
trade reports of record output, and opera
items in both pig iron and steel products
and record shipments.
There is no outside interest in the mar
ket, however and to-day fluctuations in
the market resulted merely in the shift
irg position of traders. The bulk Of
these are bearish both on the political
ard monetary outlook. Money rules firm
st recent advances and the banks con-
tinue to lose to the subtreasury.

One Nomination Only

Immensely Popular--Adpocate's Office to
Be Open Day and Night.

The Advocate announced last night
that the contest in The Washington
Herald's $1,000 competition Is entitled to
only one nomination. This point was
made because OF the fact that many of
the contestants. eager to secure a large
number Of votes sent In more than one
nomination blank. expecting to get 100
votes upon the acceptance of "as
starter"
They were intent upon getting good
start while they We're about 1t. The
Advocate appreciated this cleverness on
the part OF the competitors. but decided
that 1t would be unwise TO crafty the
expectations Of the contestants. Because
OF their popularity. many of the contest
ants received as high as ten nominations.
The Advocate is examining all of the
nominations carefully. and will give cred
1t for cnly one to each person.
Every person who desires to enter the
contest is permitted to send in his own
nomination or have some one else do 1t
for him. II is advisable to clip out one
OF the regulation nomination blanks from

The Advocate. but IL this is inconveni-
ent. 1t will be perfectly satisfactory to
send in merely the name. address, and
telephone number. II any. Nominations
should preferably be sent in written, but
telephone nominations will by no means
be rejected.
Nomination Necessary.
II is absolutely necessary to have your
nomination accepted by The Advocate
before being eligible for the awards
which are to be made at the close OF
the competition. Any person, however.
whether an accepted contestant or not,
Is entitled TO receive votes from the re-
tail merchants and manufacturers who
advertise in connection with the competi-
ton. The retail merchants will. upon
request, give vote for each 5 cents in
purchase. Contestants and those as
sisting competitors should be careful to
save all the wrappers, labels, trade
marks, or bottle caps from manufactured
products advertised in connection with
the competition. When presented at the
business Office of The Herald. votes will
be given In exchange by The Advocate
at the rate of one for every cent in pur-
chase. Contestants may call at the Of
flee any hour OF the day or night. The
Advocate himself is at the Office from
about o'clock in the morning until
close around midnight. and when he r
not there some OF his able assistants ape
fon hand TO attend to business.

Ing The Advocate The competition is
steadily growing in popularity. Mer-
chants who are cooperating In the un-
paralleled proposition say that practi-
cally every patron requests votes There
Is hardly a person who, II not himself a
contestant. has not been asked by one
of them to save votes for him and assist
him In his personal campaign.
Scores of the competitors have called
at The Advocates Office TO receive copies
of the list OF retail merchants and manu-
facturers who are advertising In connec-
tion with the contest. The contestants
are distributing these lists among their
friends with the request that they pat
ronize the establishment and the manu-
facturers and save the votes for them
The Advocate will gladly supply con-
testants with these lists. A complete list
is being published in The Herald each
day. Every advertisement Of firm CO.
operating in the competition contains

I saw the complete classified list OF the

all the information I needed, and that

To Give $50 Awards.
The Advocate is to make $50 match
less awards at the conclusion OF the
contest. The competition will continue
for six months. coming TO an end the
latter part OF February. There will be
four sets of similar prizes. one set for
each OF the four voting districts into
which the city has been divided for the
purpose of equaiizing the distribution OF
awards. In addition to these awards
there will be a grand award of SS.WO
house and lot to the contestant receiving
the greatest number OF votes In the Dis
trict OF Columbia. irrespective or the
voting districts. This makes It possible
for one contestant to receive two prizes

been decided upon by The Advocate are
four large touring cars. valued at 81 80

player pianos. and four upright pianos.

BURNED SEVERAL ACRES
 AT FISHERS ISLAND.
Fire Threatened Sears Home and
 Poultry Farm.

What came near being a serious fire on Fishers Island broke out on the estate Of Mrs. Margaret Sears in lot just south of the house Saturday at noon. The lot, which is one of several acres, has not been burned over for quite a number of years and was cov- erad by long grass and underbrush. Some careless person either dropped lighted match or cigarette and the blaze had a good start before being discovered Mrs. Lafe Sears was alone at the time with her two little boys and when Manager Hanson of the poultry farm and one of his helpers arrived the blaze was rushing rapidly toward one of the outbuildings where MT. Sears had most of his furniture stored until he could get settled and make room for it. The fire was turned back but it swept over toward the poultry farm and MT. Hanson tele- phoned to Manager Johnson of the West End farm and he with William Merrill, an old fire fighter, and several Polish men came to the rescue. In half an hour it had burned the lot owned by Mrs. Sears and several acres of the poultry farm grounds. It is fortunate that help was at hand and had 1t not been for MT. Johnson's prompt action several buildings on the farm would have been destroyed and perhaps the Sears house also.
