WALL STREET MARKET
, CLOSES NEAR THE LOW

+! NEW YORK. September 1s.--In the
initial movement today the indications
were for sharp recoveries after yester-
days important selling in profit-taking
liquidation, although the advances in
the early trading were by. no means
uniform throughout the list. About two
thirds of the industrials started with a
gain, Locomotive, Anaconda. Baldwin
Crucible Steel Mexican Petroleum,
| American Can. Maxwell Motors and
Marine preferred being prominent in
this list.
The group just mentioned maintained
the better strength of the morning
hours, although between the high of
the opening and noon prices there were
recessions just as there were in nearly
the entire list.
The market has assumed a much more
two sided appearance and will continue
to act in this way until a radical recess
sion has been brought about or the
profit-taking liquidation has been alb
sorbed in fresh buying by the public,
which is still in the trading.
After the recessions the market again
became strong, rallying sharply for
one-half to point gain. and a prac-

Conservative Trend to Rails.
During the morning session 50s,000
shares were traded in, with lcssening
activity during the noon hour and sec
ond shading of values. Profits in sight
became more and more desirable as
actualities, and the selling that fol-
lowed was sufficient to set back prices.
Much of the business was in the mu-
nitions group, marines and motors, but
the trend on the part of the conserva-
tives was toward the rails. with in
creasing volume of trading.
In this group Northern Pacific. Union
Pacific and Reading attracted the
greater share of attention. the gain in
the latter being to 113L4 or IA, Win

All in Competition.
The federal reserve board has made
an important ruling in the matter of
interlocking directories. under the
amended Clayton law. All the terri
tory between 10th street northwest,
18th street northeast, Pennsylvania
avenue on the south and H street on
the north is named as the boundaries
within which all banks are in compe-
tition with one another.
This practically eliminates all the
larger banks of the District, all the
national banks and trust companies
and some savings banks. the Home
Savings and Citizens Savings being the
largest individual banks outside Of the
section named.
1t means that scores of directors will
have to resign within the next three

Elkhart Boy Wants to WreStIe
MiShaWaka'S Star
GrappIer.

a young man who tOuts himself
as a wrestler and makes his head
quarters in Elkhart town hurled a
challenge TO Mishawaka's favOrtie
srappler, Adren Kid" Ross in his
home town paper one day last week.
Not satisfied the said wrestler, John
Hurley by name, brought his man
aRer over TO see Ross. The result
of the conversation evidently did not
please Hurley, for he followed Ad-
rem to South Bend last Thursday
and again pressed his challenge.
Kid Ross wishes TO make clear his
side of the controversy. He says
that he is very willing to meet the
youngster. as he terms the challeng-
er, at any time and at any place,
hut under the following conditions.
Hurley must put up a good sized
side bet and the bout must be pri-
vate. The reason for the match be-
ing private is because Hurley is
smaller than Ross and as a drawing
card he would be a failure, accord
ing TO the kids" statement. IF
Hurley wants to wrestle me. let him
agree TO these conditions and he can
have the match any time" said
