HUGHES NOMINATION
MAKES CURB ACTIVE
Cuba Cane Sugar Takes Big
Jump-Flemish-Lynn and Mid
vale Both Sell Well

NEW YORK, June 12.-Poltics exerted
n broad influence on the trading in the
outside market from the opening today
and the Chicago developments were in
centlves for active buying of many issues
in that market. Cuba Cane Sugar fol-
lowed the lead of the sugar stocks on the
Exchange, advancing over points and
crossing 81.
This movement reflected improved senti-
metn more than anything else, but II was
naturally attributed to the increased
strength in the raw sugar market here,
and to the expected maintenance of tariff
provisions which may make the way
smoother for closer arrangement between
the Atlantic refining interests and the
Cuban producers.
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies was also
helped by the political outlook, especially
by the expected favors which may be ex-
tended to American shipping The upward
movement in that stock made further
progress, carrying it's price up to the new
high record of 62b.
The final steps in the Flemish-Lynn
merger, which will take place on Saturday,
was followed by brisk buying, with the
stock being in good demand all the way to
SIS to T. Lynn Phonograph sold at 1Oh
to 1OB. Midvale Steel was more active
than it has been for weeks past, advancing
from 65% to 67h.
There was good demand for. Canadian
Natural Gas, which is beginning to respond
to extensive development work. The trad
ing today was at 15s to 1R
The motor stocks showed mixed tone.
United Motors opened at S2A and dropped
to 1874 and Perlman Rim declined from
147 to 142. while Chevrolet rose from 256
to 262, Saxon from SIX to 81, and Peerless
from 26l5 TO 81 y. There was active trad
ing in United Verde Extension, which rose

reason for this is to keep UP the Bank of

the Bank of England consented to permit

Regulr Feed IL Essential.

The most successful poultry breed
ers are those who attend to the de-
tails OF feeding as regularly as clock
work. Chickens will fa1teD quicker
on less food il the food is given al
the same hour each day. When a
breeder forms the bad habit OF
throwing out little food at his
leisure permits, the chickens becomt
nervous. they bang about the build
ings lest they miss feeding time, and
1t takes more feed TO fatten them
than when they know when to expect
each meal. 1t is amusing TO note
how quickly the chicks accustom
themselves to meal times. II they
have learned that every afternoon
at 4 o'clock is supper time al 4
o'clock they begin coming in from
the range. Quicker than one would
believe they form set habits, and be-
tween meal times they roam the
fields, picking up what they can on
range with q contented spirit
