NO INITIATIVE !.

OF STOCK MART
Cheerful Tone Disappears
When Demand Proves
Light.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE courseaof
of the stock markets was pronounced
largely today by the pronounced
weakness of comparatively small
group of specialties and ,loW price
railroad shares. Speculative senti-
ment appeared to be confused andhin
the absence of new factors Of material
well developed Initiative. The I'm
covering on a comparatively small
amount of selling of a few soft spots
accordingly was sufficient to impress
the whole market and it eased ioff
gradually. Total sales were ass, 900.
At the outset a cheerful Q n pre-
vailed and there were appearanceseo OF
short covering. This tendency dis
appeared, however, when 1t became
apparent that the demand was light
and the market was sensitive to pres
sure. EARLY gains, amounting toaa'
point or more in the cases of various
representative issues were lost, and In
the afternoon a general downward
trend developed.
The motor and motor accessories
stocks were especially heavy. Gem
eral Motors were sold steadily andrfost
more than points, only a small
part Of which was recovered. InFthe
railroad list the weak point was again

The drop in rubles continued today
and under the influence Of the dis

and the complete absence Of demand
the ,sharpest break of the movement
occurred. The rate fell two cents to

the curb Russian 6 1-2 per cent bonds
broke three points to a new low at7P

FROST CAUSED
SLIGHT DAMAGE
TO CORN CROP
Abnormal Weather Condi-
tons Were Compare
lively Ineffective.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Indications that
but little damage has been done by
frost brought about a setback today
in the price Of corn. The market
closed heavy, 1 to / 5-sc net lower.
Oats declined 1-2 to / 1901 LAC,
and provisions 7@10 to 40c.
Although there were a few sections
where temperatures proved low
enough to hurt the corn crop, theSgen-
eral run of aovices led the trade to
assume nothing approaching a calam-
ity had been inflicted. The result was
that some uncertainty which prevail
ed at the outset gave way soon to pro-
nounced bearish sentiment. It was
said foreign spectators who bought
yesterday on a big scale to anticipate
a possible crop disaster, were among
the chief sellers.
Oats broke when corn took a def
mite swing to the bear side. Export
demand widened out. however. n
acted as a check on the decline.
In the wheat trade the principal
new development was the fact that
Canada had formally set a maximum
price of $2.2e, the came as in this
country. Offerings mere remained
meagre, and were apportioned as
seemed to the best general advantage.
according to the viewpoint of the rep
r~esentatives of the food administra-
tor.
Provisions eased down owing to
lower prices on corn. Relative firm
ness In the hog market was ignored.

PAN-GERMANS
SCOREDBY HEAD
OF SOCIALISTS
German People Demanding
Peace Instead Of Won
Hindenberg.

Amsterdam. Sept. 12.-The over
whelming majority Of The German
people are for a peace by concilia-
ton, according to an article by Phillip
IScheidemann, published in SVor-
waerts. The article urges the imperial
chancellor to discredit the present
Pan German m~anoeuvres for "a Hin
denburg peace"
The Socialist leader says that no
one in Germany wants peace at any
price, but that those who live with
the people know h real feelings OF
the army and navy They know Ger
many will defend herself to the last
drop Of blood, and, at the same time.
they know also hat Germany is ready
today to sign a conciliatory peace.
Therefore, Herr Scheidemann con-
siders that the propaganda for con-
quest now being preached reaches the
limit of consciencelessness. He asserts
that it is he first duty of the govern
ment to state solemnly that it has
nothing to do with the Pan German
tactics.
Let AIsace-Lorraine Decide.
London, Sept. 1.-THE Clerical
Centre party in the Reichstag, it Is
understood from reliable German
sources, in order to prevent the initia-
WV . 4AAofCI1IC1S AL PAL
airy reform from falling into the
hands of the Socialists, will back up
firmly the declaration which Matthias
.Erzberger, the party leader. intends
to make before the Reichstag COM
mittee, says Reuters Amsterdam cor
respondent. The party, it is said, even
contemplates a refusal to vote the
government credits il its demands are
not acceded to.
In his declaration Herr Ersberger,
1T is believed. says the same authori-
ty, will demand the immediate intro
duction of a government responsible
OF the Reichstag and will suggest that
Alsace-Lorraine itself shall decide the
question Of its allegiance.
Previous dispatches have indicated
that the German Socialists also pro-
pose to withhold votes for credits in
the Reichstag If the demands for re-
forms are not granted.

Refuse to Tell Paper Facts.

Washington, Dec. 29.-News
print paper manufacturers, at a
hearing called today by the Fed
cral Trade Commission, declined
to discuss figures presented by
the commissions investigators
bearing on costs and profits Of
paper manufacture, hut consent
ed to continue consideration of a
distribution plan they proposed
TO the commission two weeks ago.
The manufacturers said they had
not had time to study the cost
figures
Members of the Trade Commits
sion appeared astonished when
the manufacturers refused to tes-
tify and said the original hearing
WAS called at the request ef the
manufacturers themselves. The
postponement, they said, not only
was for time to study the distri-
button plan but to give the manu-
facturcrs an opportunity to go
over the commissions figures.
Commissioner Davies limited
early in the day that if the Trade
Commission failed to find relief
for the publishers some other gov
ernmental agencies could probab-
ly offer the desired aid. The pub
fishers believed he referred to the
Department of Justice.

England Faces Pork Famine.

London, Dec. 30.-Because Of
the high cost of feed farmers
have been destroying litters Of
young pigs at birth much to the
dismay Of a government agricul-
tural committee, which has been
conducting a campaign to induce
stock raisers to help ward off
pork famine. Farmers defend
their action with. the statement
that the government was allow
ing export Of meal to Holland
which ought to be kept in this
country. The consequent in
creased price of feeding pigs, the
farmers contended, made it i'm
possible for them to make profit
on their pigs.

Girls.

Girls are one of the biggest in

Bible they We're an afterthought.
So the invention is capable Of a
lot of Improvement yet. 1T was a
different sort of genius which
thought them up than that which
devised the talking machine.
When they are small they have
to be trotted on somebody's knee
and have to be handled with ex-
trrmc care.
In fact. they pass through two
such stages in their young, ro-
mantle lives. From six to sixteen
they are of no particular interest
to anybody except their parents.
People leave off chucking them
under the chin and calling them
baby names. They seem to thrive
very we'll during this time and do
not have to be petted much. At
ter the age of sixteen they diff
fcrcntiatc into two kinds Of girls.
The kitchen kind become expert
Hopping bacon slices and forking

the, parlor kind develop into the
fancy piano-players and gum
chcwcrs, with a fine art of adjust
ing their hair and keeping their
compilations OH straight.
a man with six daughters of
the latter kind has to farm 800
acres to keep them in powder and
patcnt-lcathcr shoes. The former
kind allow the old folks to rest
in their old age and to have sons
in-law that they like to pal with.
The way to tell the difference be-
tween these classes is to take no.

TERMS FIRST!
Allies Refuse to Discuss Peace
Until Germany Tells Its
Proposals.

Paris, Dec. 3O.-The Allies to-
day formally refused to enter
peace negotiations with Germany
without knowing what conditions
the Teutonic Powers have to
propose.
The allied note first resents
Gcrmany's attempt to throw on
them responsibility of the war;.
The note handed to the diplo.
mats at 7 o'clock said:
"Thc allied governments OF
Belgium, France, Great Britain,
Italy, Japan, Montenegro, Portu-
gal, Russia, Rumania and Serbia
united in the defense OF the llber-
ty of their people in true engage
mcnt, will not separately lay
down their arms and have decid-
ed collectively to answer the So
called peace proposals.
First of all, the Allies protest
against the enemy's assertions at
tempting to throw on the Allies
responsibility for the war.
"Also the proclamation of the
Central Powers claiming victory.
Both assertions are untrue.
For thirty months the Allies
havn Sustained the war which
they did the utmost to prevent,
and they have showed by their
acts their attachment for peace.
After the violations (by the
Central Powcrs) and their en-
yagcment in war they (the AL
Iics) cannot end the war at Ger
many's suggestion without any
condition with which to open ne
gotiations.
The German proposal is not an
offer of peace. The proposition
appears more like a. war manell-
yer.
AS far as the past is con-
rprncd, the (Gcrman) note lg-
pores facts. dates and figures
showing that Germany wanted,
provoked and declared the war.
