STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Comparative DuIneSs and Lower
Prices Prevail at Close.

The acute stage suggested by the
turn taken in the Mexican situation in
the relat tons between the United States
and Mexico, which held in allegiance
the Presidents message at the request
of Special Representative Lind, was re-
sponsible for a heavier tone in the
stock market yesterday. 1t was not SO
much that selling pressure was in evil
dence, but that the market was under
a restraint, and many prices sagged
from their own weight. New York,
New Haven e. Hartford, continuing its
downward trend Of the previous day,
was subjected TO further liquidation,
and the price broke to 92A, new low
for this onetime favorite.
During the early trading United
States Steel was sold rather freely and
declined to a lower level. In its open
ing transaction Union Pacific showed
an initial loss of half a point, while
Southern Pacific opened an eighth
higher than Mondays closing quota
tons. Among the standard issues gem
orally there was little change in the
opening prices from Mondays closing.
The day, on the whole. was an uninter-
esting one in Wall Street, as nothing
unusual aside from politics and few
minor happenings was offered in the
doings Of the outside world TO attract
special attention that in any way had
bearing on security markets.
While the weekly weather report con-
tinued to be unfavorable. it was no
worse than had been discounted. and
the crop situation was not taken up
seriously as an element Of stock mar
ket speculation. The one event having
direct influence was the passing OF
the dividend on Big Four preferred,
which was followed by break in The
common stock of 5 points. and this
had a sympathetic effect on New York
Central, which also sold off. Among
the specialties some strength was ex-
hibited, notably Peoples Gas. which
made a good advance. and a rise Of
Texas Company, which touched new
high record for the year.
Commission houses had few custom
ers and in the late afternoon not even
the room traders kept up semblance
of interest. London was busy with It's
| fortnightly settlement. and while the
tone Of trading there was fairly firm
| interest in American securities was not
sufficiently broad TO insure any sup
porting orde"s in this market. The
statement of the Bank Of Germany as
an international feature Of the money
situation was encouraging. as the re-
turn showed gain In gold reserve and
cash. while loans and note circulation
were reduced. In view Of the general
Improvement in the monetary condi-
tons in other parts of Europe the con
| tinued strengthening Of its position by
the Imperial Bank adds an important
link in the chain Of improvement
The local money situation was eff
| fected some by Sub-Treasury opera
| tions, which absorbed So, 623. 600 from
the New York banks. making total
disbursement by these institutions 20
the government Of $6,72T.OOO since last
Friday. The time money market, rs
well as the market for commercial pa
per, was dull. Call money was sup
piled freely TO meet demands at "a
per cent, and no changes in quotations
in other loans were reported.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Practically one-third Of the business
done In Wall Street I'm Union Pacihc was
accounted for by the 500 shares Of that
stock which changed hands on the Con
solidated Stock Exchange. \ number OF
other prominent stocks also made very
good trading showing. OF Reading loo
shares changed hands on the Consoh-
dated, while Of Amalgamated Copper there
were Also shares sold and Of United states
Steel 1920 shares. Transactions In all
stocks totalled ii.7l9 shares. Of which 900
shares were dealt in between $3.50 and 10
o'clock. before business began elsewhere
in Wall Street. Mexico again dominated
trading sentiment Earliest moor opinion
was peSsimistic because OF reports that
the pending Wilson message To Congress
would recommend that all Americans
leave Mexico at once. Although the 30
o'c!ock opening prices rejected some
overnight advances, the market sold Oh
after the call There was "A sharp tempo
rary rally, however, when news came OF
the pOstponement OF the Wilson message
at the request OF tle Mexican authorities,
this being construed as indicative OF Il
less defiant Huerta attitude. There was
a good deal OF irregularity IN the later
trading, with many operators adopting a
waiting position. The renewed strength
OF corn prices attracted attention. News
OF the passing Of the Big Four preferred

WIVES COST MORE
Natives of Omdurman Pay High
Prices for Spouses.
"''ue Of powry Has Increased Since

Square Miles.

Khartum.-The natives must be
prosperous in Omdurman, for even
workingman will pay preposterous
price for his wife. The cost of get
ting married has gone up since the
DAYS of the Mahdi. The Mohammedan
custom at marriage is that a certain
sum is agreed upon as the brides
dowry. and is provided, not by her
father, but by the prospective bride
groom. Half of this is handed over
to her people before marriage, and is
usually spent in wedding festivities;
the other half can be claimed by the
wife If her husband divorces her.
"Sudd' or "sadd" means literally
obstruction" and in the Sudan it
is generally applied to the river weed

Hon 10 Make Delicious Biscuits

For biscuits let US select pastry -four,
a good sweet shortening, double-raise
baking powder and sweet milk or water.
Milk is to be preferred, as it browns
the biscuits better. First, measure cor
rectly and sift together at least three
times, the flour, salt and baking powder.
It Is important to blend the baking DOW
der thoroughly with the flour. Then
with fork or the finger tips work the
shortening thoroughly into the -four and
mix to q soft dough with the milk or
water-just as soft as can be handled.
Roll out very lightly, or better, spread
and pat the dough out thin with the
hands. Handle as little as possible after
wetting. Then cut in small shapes for
the oven, for small biscuits are very
much better than large ones. If baked
quickly, as biscuits should be, q large
biscuit does not get the proper heat to
raise and bake the center of the biscuit.
A small biscuit raises perfectly, hakes
better, is more palatable, and Is easier
to digest.
Biscuits should always be baked on q
sheet or in yc.-y shallow pan, as the
biscuits should be above the sides of the
pan in order to have the heat get to
them quickly. If baked in a deep pan
the sides shut off the heat, and the bis
cults are likely to flatten out and run
together and have heavy centers. Never

crowd biscuits in pan, but keep them
well apart, allowing passage between
them for heat. The oven should be very
hot, 30 that the biscuits may raise, bake
and brown nicely in about Is minutes.
] mentioned above that double raise
baking powder should be used. This is
of especial Importance with biscuits.
With the old fashioned single acting
baking powders it was necessary to have
the oven ready 80 that the biscuits could
put in the moment they were mixed,
but with K C Baking Powder you can
mix your biscuits hours in advance il
you like, letting them stand, and still
have perfect biscuit when raised. In
fact, 1t is entirely practical to mix a
batch of biscuits before supper, bake
what you want for that meal, and set
the remainder Of the dough away in the
ice box until morning, when you can
have freshly baked biscuits for break
fast without the loss Of q moments
time in mixing. That you can do this
with X c Baking Powder is due to the
fact that it is virtually q blend of two
baking powders, one of which COM
mences to act as soon as the dough is
mixed, the other commencing as soon as
it is reached by heat. The dough after
being mixed, will stay in partly leav-
ened condition for hours. Then when
the heat is applied it will finish raising.
