NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of ths Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, April 17.-Professional

liquidation, altbogh many losses were
largely retrieved in the later dealings.
The many vexatious problems attach

was seen in the heaviness Of certain
specialties.
At the beginning there was a renew
al of yesterdays offerings Of shippings,
equipments, munitions and kindred is
sues, recessions in these groups extend
ing from one to three points. Rallies
stemmed the decline for a time, but
fresh selling sent quotations to lower
levels with another recovery at mid
day. Operations in the afternoon were
meagre with a gradual advance of
prices to tho days highest levels. The
only notable exceptions to the later i'm
Provement were the motors, some Of
which were at lowest prices in the A.
nal trading.
Shippings offered obstinate resist
ance to the heavy selling of the after
noon, which was based upon reports
Of the appearance OF an enemy sub
marine in American waters. Marine

back to IS IA. and closed at 70, a net
gain Of 1 1-2.
Coppers were moderately depressed
at the outset, but rose brtskly after
publication Of the annual statement
Of the Utah Co., which disclosed enor-
nous gains in profits and surplus.
Extreme recessions of to points
were scored by Bethlehem Steel and
Lackawanna Steel, but United States
Steel was at no time more than sub
stantial fraction under, making a
slight gain on the day.

Time to Fight Mice.

The time to fight mice is when your
house is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not crumb
of food is left exposed in kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that In
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where a
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nant abode there.
The next thing to do is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, ana
this is done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork AS a final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
in your house was formerly only en-
act of slothful neglect, it is now one
of the crimes of wastefulness, OIL
which no patriotic woman should DO
guilty.-EXchange-
