NEW YORK. May 22.-That the
stock market should have declined to-
day on the news from the Ohio pri-
maries, surprised no one. The result
of that vote convinced the financial
community as 1t convinced pretty
much everyone else, that the country
is launched, for this presidential con-
test, on sea OF uncertainty in which
the old time compasses are no longer
any guide. Naturally, the first interfer-
ence of Wall street was that Presi-
dent Taft is repudiated by his party,
and that Mr.. Roosevelt gains by such
reputation exactly what Bryan gain
ed when the Cleveland wing Of the
democratic party was out voted at
the state primaries and the national
convention of 1895. But beyond this
immediate inference, it was not easy
for anyone to draw conclusions.
AS rule the stock market opened
with little change from yesterdays
closing, the main exceptions being
Reading shares, which began with. a
u point decline. and Rubber Com
mon," which continued its recent gy.
rations today, by opening 2k points
down, rising 8, and falling back 31a
The general list moved In bewildered
fashion during the early hours, but
the days changes, taken as whole
were not important, many stocks re
covering most Of their early losses
during the afternoon.

is no need OF getting up to strike a
light or turn on the bulb. All that Is
the time Is flashed on the wall, after
the same fashion that signs are

presses a bulb the electric light re-
fleets from the dial through the lens
and appears. giving the correct time
