CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

The decline In st. Paul to par and the
downward movement in such other promi-
nent stocks as Amalgamated Copper,
Smelling and Union Pacific TO new low
levels tended to unsettle the whole market
or the Consolidated Stock Exchange. IL
was again noticed that activity Increased
as prices declined. There was a bullish
pointer" circulating on the floor at the
opening regarding Reading, but the. room
trading element was disinclined 10 follow II.
American Can for time showed excep-
tioral strength, with commission houses
handling a large odd lot business in 1t. Tho
decline I'm ST. Paul was accelerated by re-
ports OF rust damage in the Northwestern
spring wheat territory. Amalgamated Cop
per was adversely affected by further talk
regarding reactionary conditions In the cop
Jer metal trade In some quarters the
opinion was advanced that the STANDARD
Oil interests had recently been heavy
sellers OF the general list, political uncer,
tainties being responsible for their alleged
bearish attitude toward the market. De-

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Uncertainty and lrregulaTlty
Mark Tendency of Prices.

The action Of the market yesterday
showed clearly that il was good oeal
like the two tramps who went to farm
house to get something to eat. Just Pc
the gate a large dog met them with
loud barking, but at the same time wag-
ging his tail. One' tramp said TO the
other: go on In, Bill and ask lor
ssome food. The dog won't bite you. See'
he's waggine his tail" Yes, but he's
barking. too, and ! don't know which
end of the critter to believe" replied
Bill" So 1t is in the present market
At times there is good buying, offering
the suggestion Of strong undertone.
Then a raid follows, and the bears break
prices. The opening yesterday displayed
an Improvement fractionally over Thurs
days close and trading was moderately
active. The bears were not strong and
appeared to be covering their shorts
There was talk of a rally, and the tone
offered encouragement for better mar
ket. American Can was quite strong,
! and Amalgamated Copper showed an
: initial gain of a. During the first hour
"a slight improving tendency was eX-
! hibted. but the energy necessary to
! higher levels did not come up with the
opportunity afforded for decided better
ment. The Texas Compa--y was strong

| record for this year. and American To-
bacco was strong. accompanied by bull
: tips of good things 10 come which filled
; the air when this stock was booming a
| few weeks since Peoples Gas advanced
on a revival of the rumor OF coming
increase in the dividend rate Third
Avenue issues were fairly active, and it
was given ,Ht that the buying in these
securities was excellent The market
, fell back into its daily quiet spell toward
the noon hour. The only interest be-
trayed was i'm the rumOrs about black
rust in the spring wheat districts, which
were circulated freely. There were oc-
casional attempts to raid the market,
but each one met with limited offerings,
and prices in the general list held their
own Union Pacific was an exception,
but the theory advanced was that this
stock was being held down to facilitate
accumulation. Pursuing an analogous
course to Thursdays action, the mar
ket took on an appearance Of weakness
in the afternoon, and traders saw
gloomy picture of long stock coming out
and other disagreeable market gossip
that told nothing of a positive nature,
but kept prices in an irregular trend.
Bear attacks We're made on various
grangers and prices were put down, but
the selling did not bring about any pro-
nounced bearish sentiment on the mar
ket as a whole The closing displayed
irregularity similar to Thursdays final
trading, the strong stocks being confined
to the specials. The news Of the day
was of a cheerful character, rather than
bearish, except the action Of the Lon
don market. Consols were weak and
trading was of no account in American
shares. The local money conditions gave
evidences of easy rates and a coming
favorable bank statement to-day.

PLIMS0LL'S MARK ON SHIPS
Vessels Determine Weight of
Her Cargo.

Perhaps you have often heard OF
mans making his mark In the world,
but what do you think of a man that
left his mark on every British ship
that sails the seas?
If you are observant you may have
noticed In passing some of the freight
steamers a peculiar mark on the side,
close to the water, something like the
letters o. e. This mark is usually
about the middle of the boat, and Is
white or yellow on a dark background.
In the old days many merchant
ships were lost through overlooking
and a British member OF parliament
Samuel Plimsoll, who sympathized
with the poor sailors that had to risk
their lives on these ships while the
greedy owners stayed safely at home,
worked and worked until he got a
law passed that obliged every cargo
carrying vessel to carry a mark on
its side, showing the depth to which
she might safely be loaded.
The five marks On the figure to
the right, which looks like a letter e.
indicate the loading depths for differ
ent places and seasons. The top line,
turned to the left, is for fresh water

SKlLLFUL FEEDING OF SWINE
Most Important Item in Profitable Hog
Rearlng-Should Be Fed All
Animal vii Consume

A basic principle in hog raising,
which has been proven by long ex-
periments, is that every pound or
grain in live weight requires more
feed to produce 1t than the preceding
pound. This, says Swine Breeders
Journal, means that there Is a gradual
increase in the quality Of feed con-
sumed for every consecutive pound OF
gain in live weight.
A certain amount of feed Is required
to maintain a hog. Any gain which
the animal may make requires o In
excess Of the food of maintenance or
that food required to keep the hog
without gain or loss In weight. SO 1t
Is plain that the less the number OF
days in the fattening period the less
will be the cost of maintenance during
that period. The cost Of maintenance
is a dead loss and 30 should be re
duced to q minimum. For this reason
the hog should be fed all that he Will
consume during that period.
The food should be varied and sail
and ashes places before them often
to keep their digestive tract In order
and prevent digestive troubles. Char
coal is very valuable for the hog ant
should be given to him at least once
a week. Mixed grains have beer
found to be more economical thar
pure single grain feeds.
Skillful feeding is the most impor
tant item in successful hog raising. l
properly fed the hog will prove tn
old saying, Pretty Is as pretty does.
This has surely been true of the Amer
lean hog, which has made good"

Washington.-Two more lives were
sacrificed to aviation at the United
States army aviation field, College
Park, Md, near here, late September
%, when an army %aeroplane fell 35
feet to the ground, instantly killing
Corporal Frank S. Scott and so seri-
ously injuring Second Lieutenant
Lewis G. Rockwell that he died later.
Hundreds of persons, including fell
low army officers attached to the
aviation school, witnessed the tragic
accident. When they reached the
scene Corporal Scott was found dead
several feet from the wrecked ma
chine, while Lieutenant Rockwell was
nearby, fatally injured.
Lieutenant Rockwell had started up
with Corporal Scott as a passenger to
make a test flight in his trial for a
military aviator's license. They had
been in he air about eight minutes,
and at a height of 500 feet began glid.
ing down. About 35 feet from the
ground the aviator turned the machine
upward again and something went
wrong. The aeroplane buckled and
crashed to the ground, reduced to &
heap of wreckage.
Scott and Rockwell were hurled
several feet from the machine.
