CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Stocks closed weak In the market yes
terday on the Consolidated Exchange.
Final prices were fract!onally higher
than the low levels OF the session, but
the general tone at the close was uncer-
tain II not reactionary There was a
spirited rally In the last hour, with re-
sultant improvement but renewed selling
just before the close caused price de-
clines. Net declines for the session were
from one to two points in the market
leaders. The selling movement, which
prevailed from the opening and was
started In the steel stocks, was ascribed
to the unfavorable bank statement. the
higher money rates and the renewed re-
ports of another German drive about to
commence Marine preferred was. the
one stock to show gain throughout
the session. The heavy selling pressure
in the steel sha res. especially Steel COM
mon, from the opening. had a depressing
effect on the general list. Minor steel
shares closed with substantial losses.
Equipment and copper stocks were ac-
tive, with declines OF point or more.
Trading in Liberty Loan bonds was
fairly active.

There was a fair spot demand at firmly

STRAIGHT LEFT ONLY $500, 600.
Widow Corrects Erroneous Esti-
mates of Financier's Estate.

The estate of the late Major Willard
d. Straight. who died in Paris last
month, will not exceed 100000, in
stead of being S5,0OO000, as was at
first announced. This correction was
given out at Major Straight's office
yesterday.
1t was said that the announcement
OF the size of the estate had caused
some embarrassment to Mrs. Straight,
as the will directed that provision be
made for carrying on the Ncto Re
pu Bile for ten years, for giving aid TO
Cornell and to assist immigrants, The
will left the residue of the estate to
Mrs. Straight, after bequest Of $780,
900 to Mr.. Straight's sister, Mrs. James
F. Sanborn; $4,000 to Albert w. Fiel-
der and other small requests.
1T is better at the outset to have
the facts known" said a representa-
tive of Mrs Straight, than to mislead
some of the beneficiaries into the ex-
pectation OF getting another $4,000. 900
for uplift work than the Major had or
intended to devote TO such purposes.

did concerto was the most difficult
task he has as yet undertaken here.
He gave performance of the work
which was generally masterful in its
command of violin technics, common
dable in Intellectual insight and Of
rare beauty Of feeling. His tone was
ravishlng, his pitch impeccable, his
finesse in rhythm and style admirable
His Interpretation, IL not on the

give pretty good satisfaction. Some
OF them wanted the eggs fried on
both sides and some on one side only,
but they all wanted eggs, and fried
so many that never can look a fried
egg in the face again.
Next to eggs the boys liked pie, and
after that ice cream. We had two men
making pies all night, others making
ice cream all day. I waited in the
cafeteria, and swept behind the
counter, and cooked, and served soft
drinks-oh, did everything that came
along. The truck Mrs. Russell and

Mrs. Aston was head of the Second
Women's Division Of the Y. NJ. C. A.
1t wasn't all regulation indoor work
that she did, however. She had more
exciting times than that, even. For
instance. she and Mrs. Russell stood
at the roadside and handed out candy
and cigarettes to the men of the Sec
ond Division as they poured back from
the front after leading the advance to
eliminate the st. Mihiel salient in Sep
tember
"The men took Off their helmets and
held them out as they passed ue, and
we would put handful OF candy and
one Of cigarettes in each. They did
not look as II they had been lighting
They looked rosy and jolly, like lot
OF ball players returning from a game
That is the way our boys took the
war. Some Of them would hand US q
souvenir in gratitude for the candy
and cigarettes-a German shoulder
strap or button; and one gave Mrs
Russell a German officers belt to re-
place the belt Of her uniform she had
lost"
While on duty the two young women
did not always wear their uniforms
They just wore a skirt and simple
blouse. Mrs. Aston didn't lose the op-
portunity yesterday to point~out that
the war couldn't have been won with
out women. Even the Y. NJ. c. A..
hitherto exclusively masculine, had to
ask women to help with its war work.
