CONFUSED TRADING
 ON STOCK MARKET
Automobile Shares Soar. American Can Company
 Stock Drops

New York. October 23.-Trading was active. but confused during today's two hour session of the stock market. in which several new high records were made. mainly in automobile shares and Baldwin Locotive. The latter rose 5lh to 1541s in the first hour. but dropped points later on unofficial denial that the company was to figure in merger with the Midvale Steel company.
 Studebaker and Continental can also manifested reactionary tendencies the former losing points at 1s3. while Can yielded over to 105 on the statement that it had failed to close a large war contract long under negotiation. Gen. eral electric, Willys-Overland and Pull man car were among the other heavy specialties. while National enamelling and stamping was in sudden demand at an advance of points to 337s.
 United States Steel held around yes- terday's closing price, but denoted some pressure in the final dealings when the entire list developed heaviness In con- nection with the weakness in foreign ex- change.
 London's stock exchange was closed, but
 
 reported from >that center, presumably as direct outcome of the break in ex- change. Pacifics and some of the gran gers were included in the foreign selling, which exercised little appreciable effect. In fact, Canadian Pacific and few others subject to foreign liquidation, closed at net gains.
 Among the few railway earnings sub mitted was the September statement of Southern Pacific with a net gain of $S29, ,- 900. Trade agencies reported wider dis tribution of merchandise and increased re- tail demand.
 In place of the large cash gain which local banks were expected to disclose in the weeks shifting of money. the bank statement showed no appreciable change in this item, but actual loans expanded by over $46000,O00, and deposits by $42,- 600,00O, with an increase of $4,536,0O0 in excess reserves
 The bond market was firm on light deal ings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,370.000
 U. s. bonds were higher by A@1h per cent on call for the week.

|B|G WHEAT RECEIPTS ! BEARS THE MARKET
Big Production of North west Is Coming to
 Market

Chicago. October 2S-Thousands of car loads of wheat rushing to market in the northwest had an unmistakable bearlsh effect today on speculators here. As a result. prices. although steady at the close, were 1A@1Ndzssc net lower with December at s7%c, and May at sl.ools. Corn showed a setback of 1salEc and oats of 1s@a@Ac. In provisions the out come varied from 7.a@1Oc decline to a rise of 5c.
 Acute weakness in the price of wheat developed after announcement that ar rivals in Winnipeg Monday would aggre- gate 4s00 cars. The huge estimate was accompanied by word that farmers in the Canadian northwest were pling wheat on the prairies, because of the impossi- bility of getting cars enough to dis pose promptly, owing to elevators hav- ing been filled of the surplus. Immense receipts for Minneapolis and Duluth next week were also predicted. Ideal weather in the spring crop belt and the continued liberal movement to the chief terminals there had caused the market to sag somewhat as soon as trading began. A brief rally ensued, on account of strength at Liverpool and in consequence of week. end evening up transactions here, but then the market plunged downward in good earnest.
 Lowest prices of the week were touched in the wheat pit just before the end of the session Extreme declines as con- pared with the high point reached on October H. ranged about 1olsa12c bushel.
 Corn finally gave way with wheat and under the influence of enlarged country offerings. At first, however the market tended to advance owing to hopes of sales for export Much the same condi- tions ruled in the oats trade as th corn. One of the leading elevator com panies was conspicuous on the selling side.
 Provisions manifested no significant change. but rather favored buyers toward the close. The volume of business was light. especially in the options prior to January.

half-fnll with water Just hot enough for the hand to feel comfortable In it. Make lather and with a sponge rub the feathers thoroughly, rubbing with and not against the feathers. Every part must receive attention, care being taken to remove every particle of dirt.
 The bird Is then placed In the second tub, and the pumage is rinsed with d sponge saturated with water. to remove the studs. Too great care cannot be taken In this particular, as soap allowed to remain on the plumage will make the latter blotehy, and the feathers will not take the blueing water evenly.
 A final rlnsing is then given in n tub of clean, cold water, to which a little liquid blueing has been added. Too much blueing must not be used, as 1t will show next to the auills in the web of the feathers. and the judge is apt to give the award to a more careful exhibitor.
 After rinsing the bird thoroughly In this blueing water. squeeze the water out of the plumage, and dry the feathers with towels. Then place the bird in a coop covered with muslin, the front slated and the floor filtered with straw. This washing process Is followed by attention to the comb wattles and legs
 The standard of perfection must be used as the guide In the selection of exhibition fowls, and special note must be made of the disqualifying clauses. Much Encouragement has been evineed through carelessness on the part of the exhibitor It requires grit and pluck to be a successful exhibitor. The man who cannot stand up in the face of defeat Is not a good sport.

COTTON STEADY AT
 CLOSE IN.NEW YORK
Bullish Spot News From the South Is
 Effective

New York, October 23-Bullish southern spot adxices and steadiness in Liverpool imparted generally steady tone to the cotton market here during todays early , trading, but prices weakened later on | reports of an unsettled sterling exchange situation and prospects for more favor
 able weather over Sunday. The closing
 was steady net unchanged to points lower.
 The market opened unchanged to 2 points higher and after some little irregu-
 larity sold about 1 to points above last nights closing figures with December | touching 12.50c, March, 12.S2c and May,
 l2.s7c. There was scattered covering and some local buying on this advance which
 was encouraged by favorable reviews of
 the domestic goods market and. reports
 that holders of spot cotton in the south were showing no sign of following the decline In futures. Private Liverpool l cables contributed to the bullish view of | the situation in this respect by reporting l that the market there had advanced on some trade calling in the absence of 1 hedging. and it was reported that there was a good export demand. particularly l from Russia. Uncertainty as to the showing of ginning futures on Monday and the forecasts for generally fair wealth. 1 CT over Sunday tended to check the buy ing movement, however, and offerings ] became heavier in the late trading owing to the break in. the sterling exchange which was supposed to be against ex- port business Houses with Memphis and New Orleans connections were among the late sellers while there was con- siderable pressure from local sources with December selling off to 1240c and March to 12.71c.

COTTON FALLS OFF
 ! UNDER LIQUIDATION
New Orleans Market Sus- tains Net Loss of Five
 Points

New Orleans. October 2s.-After an advance of to s points in the early trading today cotton fell off under liquidation and closed within a point Of the lowest at net decline of 3 to points. It was small. weekend session with both sides inclined to even up in preparation for the govern ment report Monday.
 The early improvement was in sym pathy with better cables than due and bullish expectations regarding ginning. Traders who were sellers the early part of the week were inclined to cover and they found offerings limited. The weakness In sterling exchange created an unfavorable impression. es- pecially in the export department of the market and checked the upward tendency. Late in the day offerings were coming principally from the long side.
 Weather conditions over the belt showed improvement and to a small extent were against values

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Latter

New York, October 23-(Special )-Ca- bles this morning were better than due, and private dispatches reported a small market with little offerings from the south at all on parity with the foreign market. Here, prices were steady early, and there was further scattered buying from the south, apparently in anticipa- tion of small ginners figures on Mon day.
 In this connection 1t is difficult to get
 a line on the coming report because while 1t Is a well-known fact that small
 crops usually gin rapidly, so that early
 reports are large and often misleading, still there has been considerable bad weather this year, which may lead to the small figures generally anticipated. In the last hour the market turned easy and sold off under pressure from the large spot firms who are apparently sell ing hedges in volume It Is stated that this selling represented the renewed dif- fculty in exports, due to the sudden fall in sterling exchange, which today sold back in demoralized market to 4.63 for demand. This development attracted a good deal of attention, as 1t Is the first time since the market advanced that ex- change. has been pronouncedly weak. On the other hand. there is surprisingly lit- tie selling from the south. which seems very confident both of the market and
 of its own position.

Have the Birds Clean When shown

nave the Birds Clean When shown White birds. it Is held. are the hard est classes to judge or exhibit, so con-
 ditioning is a very important factor. If tho poultryman keeps his premises clean
 and the floors of the houses we'll covayed With clean straw. there will be little if any necessity for washing the fowls be- fore they are placed on exhibition. A thorough rubbing of the feathers with a soft cloth to remove any dust that may be on them; the legs carefully oiled and
 rubbed with sweet oil; and a little vase
 line rubbed on the comb and wattles. will be about all that will be necessary. Birds reserved for exhibition should now be placed in different quarters, and the sexes separated to avoid breaking of feathers Any broken or off-colored lfeathers can be pluclxed and if done at
 once the possibility is that they will ssow out properly in time for the show. Faso or off-colored feathers are not necessarily
 a sign of impurity. In many cases they are caused by bruise or injury to the feather when growing.
 Another important matter to attend to Is to examine the bird carefully to as- certain if there is any vermin present. thorough dustlng with reliable in- sect powder tsuch as a coal tar producp is good precaution, even If no vermini are seen. Lice are sly and often hard to detect. so that the dusting will be auV1SaDle.
 I do not think that 1t is Just the right thing to wash birds. If every exhibitor would exercise great care to keep his fowls clean, and then enter them in their ! natural condition. 1t would give better satisfaction all around. If 1 was poul- try judge and found two birds equal in quality, the one naturally white and the other washed. I should surely give the 1 award to the former.
 How to Wash the Fowls But where good birds show dirt on their plumage, washing Is the only all formative. For this purpose castile or other white soap and warm water are | used. The work must be done in a warm
 room so the bird may not catch cold and after 1t Is through with the opera ton the fowl should be placed in roomy coop near a good fire, in a temperature of about 80 or 90 degrees. In a few
 hours the bird will start to plume itself and be perfectly dry.
 In washing the fowl, two tubs are filled
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-24

and hatch and rear the chicks. The chicks are hardy and make rapid. vigorous growth. The fowls do well In confinc- ment and make an ideal backyard flock both good looking and profitable.
 In many sections of America Opringtons are as popular IS American breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks or Rhode Island Reds. They are shown in large numbers at the leading winter shows, and competition In them is so keen that American fancsers have sent thousands of dollars to Eng land to import fine specimens.
 The Diamond Jubilee Orpingtons are not as popular as other varieties of the sano breed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-24

Odd but handsome is the coloration Of this variety of general purpose fowl, origi-
 hated in England in 1897 and named in
 honor of Queen Victoria's jubilee. The ground or body color is reddish buff, each feather ending in black bar tip- i, ped with large white spangle. In the males some of the siclSles are solid black
 some solid red, some solid white. and
 often a single sickle or flight feather may
 contain all three coors.
 When full grown the males weigh sla to 10 pounds, the females to pounds. They are full breasted and plump from
 broiler size to maturity. so that they may be killed and dressed profitably at any age. The hens are good layers of large.
