RATE SUSPENSION
 AFFECTS WALL ST.

New York, Feb. 16-Opening active selling movement was begun at the outset today and prices broke sharply in all parts of the list The movement was most pronounced at first in the railroad stocks whose heaviness was ascribed to the further suspension until September 12 by the interstate commerce commission of the of eastern roads. F; f-- weakened by thisSnews and the whole market gave way with them, Bear operators seized the opportunity to put out new lines and in the first half hour score or more of stocks, in- cludins virtually all of the popular issues were. forced down 1 to points.
 Noon-The severest setback which the market has experienced this year came today. Prices broke away from the approximate level which had been maintained for weeks. Further sus- pension of the new freight rate sched- ule by ths interstate commerce com mission ended all hopes of a speedy advance and railroad shares bought in anticipation of a rise when the 1n- crease was granted were unloaded.
 Industrials were depressed by re- ports of reductions in wages of steel mill workers Steel. which has been conspicuously firm recently was sold freely and weakness of this issue per- meated the whole list. LiQuidat1on Of minor shares also had an unsettling effect The break failed to. attract outside business and the market made no recovery during the morning.
 Bonds were heavy.

rhe spixss~ and the Bee.


 A correspondent of Countryside was sitting one day upon an English moor, watching large heather spider as it crouched expectant in it's web Sud denly he saw the spider firmly grip the web with it's feet and shake it with all its might. After awhile it repeated the operation, and soon the reason became apparent. Whenever a bee flew near the web the spider gave this warning signal. It did not want any such visitor. If bee happened to get entangled in the web the spider at once cut out that part and so rid itself of it's unwelcome guest. That any creature can weave a web more intricate than a fsherman's net and moreover, that it should possess the instinct OF reasoning power to put the web in the best place and there pa
 dently sawait Its prey suggests that the border line between instinct and reason is far from distinct.

able percentage of Jersey blood. They
are small in size and inferior in quail

cows produce good calves when bred

weighing not over 900 pounds, have
given birth to half breed calves which
have developed into 500 to 600 pound
animals at 10 to 10 months of age.

REMEDY FOR DAMPNEsS.
Best Time to Stop Leaky Walls Is
During Construction.

If difficulty is experienced with damp
ness in easements it is due to one of
the following causes: Absence of
course in the walls; damp
ness in the ground outside, which
forces the wall structure to absorb
moisture until itself is saturated:
dampness arising from the ground,
which causes wall sweating under sud
den changes of temperature; rain soak
ing through the walls after seeping
into the furring because of defective
leaders; driving rains against the walls
not properly waterproofed or laid up;
Evening star., 1914-10-10

leaky pipes in buildings or condensa-
tion on pipes in humid weather, says
the Record and Guide.
Beyond this last cause, which can be
corrected only by insulating the pipes,
to attempt to repair damp walls after
the structure is completed is at best
an expensive job. The time to stop
leaky walls is when the wall is being
built
There are a number of inexpensive
waterproofing compounds on the mar
ket, which, if applied in the first place
to walls that are likely to be damp,
will add practically nothing to the cost
of the building.
