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

New York, Jan. 31.-The stock mar
ket did not make favorable response to-
day to the remarkable financial state
ment of the United States Steel Cor
poration. issued after the close Of yes
terday's session. and this encouraged
the short interest to extend recent op-
erations. The moderate extra dividend
declared by the steel directors was
commended in conservative quarters al
though it was generally felt that the
enormous earnings warranted a more
liberal distribution. Consideration Of
testimony brought out at the leak" in
vestigation was in some quarters con-
sidered one of the days deterrent fac
tors. The opinion expressed by one Of
the witnesses respecting peace negotia-
tions and their effect upon domestic
conditions excited considerable interest
among the speculative element.
Steel vacilliated throughout, opening
with fractional gain which soon was
forfeited, making full recovery at mid
day and falling back again in the last
hour when the entire list, coppers ex-
cepted. was at lowest levels. Steels
final quotation Of 112 represented a net
loss of one point
Bethlehem Steel issues were unusual
ly active and weak, the old stock max
ing an extreme decline of 27 points with
a loss of IA for the new shares, the
rights" thereto losing four points.
Other heavy stocks included motors,
which registered a gross loss of four
points, with IA for Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies and 10 for Indus
trial Alcohol. Popular industrials, Pc
troleums, marines. sugars and equip
ments lost 1 to 2 points.
Rails were under moderate but per-
sistent pressure, Canadian Pacific yield
ing 3-S with to 2 points for Union
Pacific ST. Paul, Reading and Southern
Railway, and got st. Louis and San
Francisco preferred.
Metals. notably Utah Copper, which
was Ia points higher at its best, were
the only strong features, although clos
ing prices were made on moderate
rally. Total sales amounted to 745.OOO
shares.
Lires at the new low record of 7.30
furnished the only noteworthy feature
of the foreign exchange market.
Bonds were heavy on further selling
of the international group. Total sales
(par value) aggregated S4,240,O0O.
United States bonds were unchanged

HOW TO MAKE FARMS.
PAY GOOD RENTALS

Says a writer in Farm and Fireside:
"'Our family has been renting farms
for so years. John A. Cavanagh Of Des
Moines, Iowa, owner of more than a
thousand choice acres, began his reply
when l asked him why his tenants were
successful and how tenants could get
farms of their own, and l have seen
many tenants come and go-with some
Of the successful ones going on their
own farms. During that time I have
learned how to make farms pay good
rentals. I do it by meeting the tenants
more than halfway, and by managing
the farms as If they were factories.
The tenants and I cut down the cost
Of production by increasing the yield.
and we get the highest market price
because we have the quality and sell
after most of the grain in the coun-
try has been marketed. We store the
grain in well-ventilated. rat-proof, hol-
low-tile corncribs and grain bins.
MANY things affect tenants abil-
ity to buy a farm. Health is one Of
the biggest factors. If man enjoys
health he can work at top speed. his
brain is clear and in good working or
der he is cheerful and optimistic. If
tenant or members of his family are
i'll often, he does not have the ability
to think and plan and work as he
should to make success. He needs
horses and machinery and knowledge
of successful farm practice In his
state
"All of the Cavanagh farms are
grain farms. An average year Mr. Cav
anagh's share of the crops exceeds $40
an acre: in real good years it has been
as much as $12 and s14 an acre. Mr..
Cavanagh receives as rental one-half Of
the corn crop, two-Nerhs Of the small
grain. and So an acre for the pasture
land This shows how much money the
tenants are making. All Of the farms
are tile-drained. Where there is not
enough manure produced on the farms
to keep up the fertility. commercial
fertilizers are used. Mr.. Cavanagh pays
for the fertilizer. All the tenants have
to do is to haul it to the farms and ap-
ply it."

GERMAN DYE SCARCITY
MAKES GREY HAIR

Silver threads are appearing among
the gold, as well as the raven black
and auburn tresses with which Wash
ington women had defed the years.
Isn't this war-ladies, ladies'! Well, 1t
is caused by the war, anyhow.
A Washington hairdresser of re-
nown says:
'It is impossible to, get German dyes,
and others than the German dyes are
Of such inferior quality, and some so
positively injurious, that we have ad-
vised our clients against their use. so
that they now face the world with the
marks Of time upon their coiffures."

in-law several weeks ago. The men
became involved in q quarrel. the po-
lice were told. and went TO the side

nue.. moment later Coilecto was iy-
ing unconscious on the sidewalk.
