of stiff leather made to fit and
buckle on this arm and extend
down TO the end of the arm.
He picks up small objects, han

Graham, the seven-year-oId
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Walters, of Cheraw, fell from a
tree last Friday and broke an
arm, and was hurried away to
the hospital an Florence. He fell
a distance of about 80 feet and
the broken bone punched
through the flesh and could be
seen with the eye. The little
fellow seems unlucky indeed.
This is the second time he has
had an arm broken and he had
an eye almost ruined by a berry
shot by another boy, to say
nothing of the many others
ailments to which a youngster is
subject He is getting along
nicely with the broken arm.

'.SIOp.''

On several occasions during the past
few months Missouri Pacific stock has
stood out strongly, especially as com
pared with the market price for the notes
The explanation offered was that n short
interest OF unusual size had been created
In the stock. II this is the case the short
interest has persisted in spite OF frequent
assurances from official and semi-ofiicial
sources that the road was doing eNcep-
tionally we'll and that its finances would
be taken care Of and also In spite OF
mysterious rumors OF "A big deal" which
would place control OF the road In much
stronger hands. The squirt in the stock
yesterday occurred apparently in re-
Spouse to a story that interests associ-
ated with the Rockefellers would take
over the Gould holdings. The stock held
up surprisingly well after the story was
denied, In the present condition OF ~x-
treme ease In the money market a big
short interest might easily exist In a stock
like Missouri Pacific without affecting
the loan market particularly.

German Financial Position.

Houses with foreign connections have
been receiving advces from Berlin say
ing that the best opinion there il opti-
mistic on the general financial situation.
The basis OF this optimism undoubtedly
lies in the soundness OF the financial posi-
ton at home. Not only the Berlin mar
ket but the security markets in other
German cities, II is reported. are present
ing evidence of cheerfulness and conf
dencc in the financial and business out
look. The Berlin stock exchange has fol-
lowed the trend of prices in the other
international markets In the past few
months but at no time has capital there
INDUCED In the pessimism which has lately
been expressed In New York, London and
Paris. Some observers see in this condi-
tlon OF affairs the probability that an
upturn in prices here would receive more
prompt and complete attention by Berlin
than the other foreign markets.

tuated for some time. Duness followed

only emphasized the stubbornness OF the
rest. The Importance OF the establishment

be greatly emphasized IN the opinion OF
the chart readers IL the next upward
