Win From Ellsworth

Coach Peterson brought out his
Ellsworth high school team Friday
for try at Coach Kuranz' tribe,
and in the opening inning it looked
as though the visitors were going to
cop the bacon. Doc Peterson, who
had been laid up with a sore arm for
some time, was wild as hawk, +"
and passed the first four batters.
Three scores resulted from a hit and
two errors.
After that Doc opened up and
kept the Hub boys safe throughout
the remainder Of the game. Rice,
for the visitors, got away to a good
start. but was unable to hold the
pace, and when the locals fell onto
his curves like pack of hungry
wolves and took the lead, Kruger
was sent in to replace him. Snod-
grass, the first man to face Kreuger,
raped out a clean single and scored
two more runs. Billy Smith slapped
out the longest hit, polling the pill
over the sidewalk for three Dagger.
The final count was 9 to 4 in favor
of River Falls.

Jumps Curran is doing fine work
for the League, and although, in the
heat of battle, the players are apt to
be careless in their remarks on ad-
verse decisions, after the game all
realize that the umpiring has been
first class.
The Cats and the Boosters cross

season. Next Tuesday the Crests
play the Boosters, and a week from
tonight the Cats meet the Bards
again.

WALL STREET AND STOCKS.
How "Short Sellers" May Win by Buy.
ing on Falling Market


ing on a Falling Market.
There are two kinds of stock specula-
tors. One buys in the hope that he
may later sell at a profit. If a man
buys a share Of Steel at 100 and later
sells it at 115 he has made SIS, less the
brokers' small commission. 1t is clear
now money is made in rising market.
How money is made in a falling mar
ket requires explanation. The process
Of capitalizing disaster is known as
selling short"
A speculatOr who is sure, either be-
cause of some inside knowledge or be-
cause of his own reasoning, that stocks
will tumble, gives an order to his
broker to sell block of stock for him.
Let us use Central Leather as an eX.
ample. He has none of the stock. The
broker sends word to his representa-
tive on the floor Of the exchange, and
the sale is made. Central Leather is
sold at the market price, say, 90. In
the course Of a few hours the stock
which the seller did not have is deliv-
cred to the purchaser. The broker has
borrowed it from some owner Of the
stock. A small fee is paid to the owner
Of the loaned shares. The man who
aas sold short then watches for the in
fuences which he expects will drive
the stock down. One or two days later
ne reads that some great international
figure has made move for peace.
The stock drops on the news. No one
is willing to pay 500 share for it. A
few are willing to pay $50. Our hero
who has sold short directs his broker
to buy enough shares to pay him in
kind for the shares borrowed. The
broker buys at 500. After the brokers'
fee is paid and the charge for the bor-
rowed stock is settled the Spectator
receives a little less than So a share as
a result of his short selling. He mere
ly sold at 90 what he later bought for
90. He has no stock. He never haG
any stock. He sold it before he
bought it.
The "short" seller is never an in
vestor He never buys to keep. He
never buys except to enable him to re-
turn what he has borrOwed.-Uncle

In last weeks letter from James
A. Frear, an item in the daily press
was quoted to the effect that Joseph
Letter h 3 d made large profits in
recent wheat speculation. Resolu-
tons of investigation were intro
duced in Congress to ascertain the
facts but in statement later given
the press, Mr.. Letter denied the re-
port and strongly condemned those
who are engaging in wheat specula-
ton or other food stuffs at this time.
His statement is accepted as true
and is in line with efforts Of respOn-
sible business men who are seeking
to prevent such speculation at this

The Normal Farm received it's
first gift Of pure-bred stock last
week. Mr.. H. M Stephens, the en-
ergetic instructor in agriculture at
New Richmond, was one of the first
graduates from the local agricultur-
al school, and as evidence of his con-
tinued interest in his Alma Mater
presented the school with a regis
tered pure bred Chester White gilt,
to be known as Norma. She is a
granddaughter Of William A, grand
champion boar at the National Swine
show at Omaha last fall and hence
the present grand champion boar of
the country. One of William AS
daughters sold recently for $500 and
Mr.. Stephens has given the school
farm a Start with some Of the best
swine blood in the country. The
only stipulation made in connection
with the gift is that some Of this
Chester White strain shall be re-
tanned by the school for term of
years, which is desirable for instruc-
ton purposes. Norma evinces an
active interest in her surroundings
and a healthy appetite gives promise
of rapid progress toward maturity.
Arrangements for suitable quarters
for her ladyship are being rapidly
made on the farm.

At the lowest, October was nearly three
cents below the highest of n week or so

was competitive in all options, coming from
Liverpool, commission houses, Wall street

nearly large enough to absorb the supply
prices slid of easily. October fell 80 points

Virtually the only demand was from room
