CANADIANS AREF|RM
Group Shows Gains, While
Other Issues Decline.
MARKET SOMEWHAT HEAVY
Changes Mainly Downward, With
Indications of Further Liquidation.
LEADERS YIELD FRACTIONALLY
Selling of Reading and Lehigh Val
ley Spreads to Other Stocks.
Late Gains.

NEW YORK August 19.-The only
feature of interest at the opening of to-
days stock market was the strength of
the Canadian group. Canadian Pacific
was up 1 and Minneapolis. St Paul and
Saulte Ste. Marie IL. Otherwise changes
we're mainly downward with indications
of further liquidation in the better known
issues.
Prices shaded after the opening. but
soon became firmer under lead of Cana
dian Pacific which rose 5 points. with
smaller gains in q. few specialties, while
American Tobacco fell more than
points
Further Selling of Coalers.
Further unexplained selling Of Read
ing and Lehigh Valley. which later
spread moderately to other stocks, turned
the course of today's market from more
irregularity to heaviness.
Few of the leaders yielded more than
fractionally. but the dizziness that fol-
lowed declines in coalers indicated a de-
gree of uncertainty.
Canadian Pacific. which was heavy in
the final days of last week. rose 5 points,
Minneapolis. st Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie. Specialti,s and some obscure is
sues. including Can, Bethlehem Steel,
Texas Company and Distillers, We're up
point, and American Tobacco was off al
most 3. Bonds were irregular.
Gain on Support.
On better support coalers' stocks re-
gained all of their forenoon loss. while
other active stocks also made full re-
covery. A ten-point decline in General
Chemical was the feature of the special
group.
Trading became duller in the latter
part of the session, with prices showing
little change from the midday recovery
except Reading, which again eased off.

Gray-Haired Mother of Matte

dents Action.

Ignorant that the life of her daughter.
Matte Lomax, had been spared by the
President, an old. gray-haired negress
went to the Departmel of Justice from
southern Virginia today to enter a last
plea for the Lomax woman's life.
Today was the day appointed for the

the communication of the sentence by

Of-the-way little hamlet where she lived
Finally, as time passed and the day of

and started on her long journey to Wash
ington, planning to arrive here yester-
day. She was delayed however, and only
reached the Department of Justice today,
fearful that the life of her daughter
might have already been made forfeit to
the law.
"Goin' Back to virginny."
When Informed by James A. Finch,

ans sentence had been committed to life
the aged negress fell on her knees, cry
ing GLORY to Gawd and Thanks to de
Presden' and de Attorney General"
Please tell de Presiden' TO me dat
Matte was baWn an raised a good gal
in Ole Virginny an dat she didn't know

an killed was sure monster. What he
done to nah poor ILL gal was awful.

CURRENT COMMENT
Our Crop Outlook.

We hope the people of this country can
divert their attention from the political
situation long enough to study the fig
ures given out by the crop reporting
board of the department of agriculture,
yesterday, and strengthen their optimism
by the contemplation. II they are APP
proXimately correct, then are we to he
blessed this year with rare abundance.
There is promise of bumper corn crop,
nearly three billion bushels is the esti-
mate, and in this particular cereal we
have a practical monopoly in the world
and sufficient in itself to establish ba-
sis of national prosperity. But the oat
crop is about thirty per cent better than
a year ago, the potato crop nearly for
ty per cent. improvement. or more than
enough better than the yield of last year
to fully offset the millions of bushels that
we had to import during that twelve.
month. The apples and rice show Il
large increase. So will wheat, rye and
barley. The business prophets for some
months have been forecasting season
Of large prosperity, and nature has been
doing her best to make their prophecies
come true. Boston Transcript.
