HEAVY SELLING ON
 WEATHER REPORTS
Opening Steady But Market Falls Off to Weak
 Close

New York, September 2T.-Reports of better weather in the south and claims of increased southern offerings were ae- companied by very heavy selling on the local market today, the close was barely steady at a net decline of from ' to 16 points.
 The opening was steady at decline of to B points and active months sold ' to points net lower right after the call under liquidation attributed to the circulation of October notices, bearish Liverpool cables, higher temperatures in the southwest and claims that the cold snap had run It's course without having caused any widespread damage to the crop. The October notices were esti mated at about 60,000 bales, but lead Ing spot houses were good buyers Of october around the ring at about 35 to 40 points under January, while profit taking by recent sellers of later months also helped to steady the market at the decline. After working up to approx imately the closing figures of yesterday on this support. however, the market weakened again shortly after midday under continuation or actlVe 1qulda- tion, particular there was brokers and the lowest level of the day was reached in the late trading, when active months sold about 13 to 16 points under the closing figures of yesterday. Reports that the National Ginners' association made the condition of the crop 69. 1, comparing with their report of 76 per cent last month, indicating less de- terioration than had been anticipated in view of the mid-months reports of CT 1 per cent undoubtedly contributed to the late break, when sentiment was also in- huenced by reports of lower southern spot markets, and of increased southern hedging

STOCKS MANIFEST STRONG UNDERTONE Call Money Reaches 6 Per
 Cent-Steel Reaches
 Highest Price

New York. September 9.-Regardless of the monetary situation which was suf- ficiently tense to cause local banks to call more loans, today's stock market manifested strong undertone. The movement at times was narrow and irregular and the total output was smaller than for several days. Money on call opened at fraction under yes terday's initial rate, but soon rose to 6 per cent at which figure the bulk of the days loans were negotiated. The rate for money eased off in the late trading when the stock market rec orded its top prices under leadership of United States Steel. which scored its highest price of the year on exception ally large offerings.
 Other standard shares also were in de- mand, but most of them failed by a slight margin to equal recent high levels. The further rise in steel and allied issues was generally attributed to trade conditions which showed increased activity at all leading centers of that industry. De- mand for pig iron is reported so large that additional capacity is required at
 
 finished products are already being taken for the coming year Similar conditions prevail in the copper trade, the domes- tic Inquiry for the current month hav- ing been the largest according to authors ties in more than three years.

New York Central, Reading and Illinois Cen tral, Reading and Illinois Central, with such minor issues as Missouri Pacific, Toledo, St. Louis and Western common and preferred and Western Maryland in the final hour Rock Island and the Gould group also became active at smart advances.
 An unexpected flow of money from the Interior expected here is also to reduce losses.
 Bonds showed especial strength in Wabash-Pittsburg terminal issues.
 Total sales, par value, $2,600,000. United States government bonds on call were unchanged.

There were two petitions in this case-one for and the other against the pardon, but Governor Bilbo states that he could find no excuse for executive elemeney. In some respects the cases of Birdsong and Carter were similar both slayers having been drunk when they fired the fatal shots. Both vic- tims were physicians of high standing. There was no woman in the Birdsong case-Birdsong was crazy drunk and did not know what he was doing when he shot and killed Dr. Pitts.

TIME TO SPRAY.

Now is the time for al growers to
make arrangements for treating fruit
trees for the San jesse Scale. The
best Ill round remedy is the conccn-
tratrd lime sulphur mixture. This
wash can be- bought or made at home,
d,.p,n"ing upon the inclination of
the grower. Bulletin No. l6l of the
Experiment Station, Collrg" Park +,
Nd, which can b" had for the ask :
ing, discusses the manner of making
and use of this remedy. All trees
should b. sprayed before the buds
open.
All fruit growers who have neglect
ed orchards near them which are n
menace to the vicinity, should notify
the officers of the State Horticultural
Department, at College Park.
All Usage Hedges should be gotten
rid of as far as possible, as they serve
to spread the scale. If kept, they
should also be sprayed.
The Maryland Agricultural College
and Experiment Station desires to
