STOCKS SWAY
UNDER SPELL
Money Pool Committee Dis
appoints Traders by Fail
ure on Statement.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Sept. 5.-From shortly
after the opening Of today's market
trading was under the spell of some
possible statement to be made dur
ing the day by the money pool COM
mittee. But none appeared. although
important bankers were in confer
ence both in the forenoon and the
late afternoon.
Stocks advanced shortly after the
opening. then receded. remained dull
and soft until q few minutes before
the close. when prices stiffened some
what. According to one prominent
broker on the floor of the Exchange,
the market seemed to be full of
stocks" Exceptions. however, were
Mexican Petroleum. most of the
standard copbers. Reading and Stu.
debaker.
Mexican Petroleun High.
Mexican Petroleum sold up to
104h or an eighth above the years
high register on "Wednesday, due to
the outlook for a happy settlement
OF the Mexican situation and the
suspension for sixty days of the
proposals to nationalize ,the oil
lands. Smelling was active and up
more than point. Mexican Petro-
leum fooled the wise ones several
times when IL threatened to go be-
low 103 and at the last minute sold
at 104 3-S, up / as on the day.
Coppers were again in demand,
much of the buying known to be
for investment. Anaconda, Inspir-
alton, Kennecott, Utah and Chino
were all higher.
The rails, except New Haven and
Reading. were laggards despite a
preliminary announcement that Di-
rector General McAdoo would make
known the terms of the standard
form of contract tomorrow. In
connection with the activity and
higher levels for Reading, those
credited with knowledge Of profess
sional doings forecast a lessening
of activity in the industrial list and
the wholesale switching to rails. in
order to make all capital possible
out of McAdoo's railroad contract
announcement.
New Haven Takes Jump.
Accumulation OF Reading under
81 was noted preparatoryfi rumor
iidu II. " HldTh IN "nlCn fStdu-
ing would be made the leader.
New Haven acted irregularly to
close finally at As while'New Haven
3h per cent bonds jumped about
ten points. the latter advance apply
ing as well to the New York. West
chester and Boston AVS.
Studebaker rose more than two
points, accompanied by well distrib-
uted tips. General Motors which
has fallen some thirty points from
the "cornered price came back
with a four point gain to 130. AS
one broker remarked the actions of
General Motors ''passeth all under
standing"
Steel Common. as well as other
steel shares. appeared to be in sup
ply all day although in the after
| noon steel seemed to find a resting
spot around ia.
Cotton slumped badly when It be-
came known that Government is
thinking seriously OF fixing a prlc,
on cotton.

In the mutton aud that II is free from
woody taste OF our native sheep and
that makes II ideal for cooking pur-
poses.
During the Hrst three months the
lambs developed 80 per cent faster
than native sheep. due TO the great
amount OF milk OF the Karakul. which
!s the COW OF Central Asia. From its
milk Il produces the famous Brinzaa
cheese. The Brinxa cheese made from
Karakul differs from others Brinzas
In quantity and quality. being froe
from the woody taste.
Large and Small Karakuis
There are two kinds OF Karakuls.
the large and the small. We have
found that when the rams OF the large
Karakul were breed with Cottswold
or Lincoln ewes the ewes died for the
lambs could not pass. So the small
Karakul rams have been used with
ewes OF large varieties. resulting In
an intermediate type. a purely Amer
lean product OF selective breeding.
"The small type wnen crossed. pro-

there is the greatest astrological re-

The Wool Clip.
From these sheep the wool clip Is
