WEAKAT OPENING, WITH
INDUSTRIAL RECOVER|ES

NEW YORK, November 1s.-At the
immediate opening the market was
decidedly nervous and showed an in
clination to sell OF.
The bank statement on Saturday
showed a further loss in reserves and
emphasized the fact that there was
small chance for any modification Of
the credit restriction. Then, too,
traders are a bit nervous over condi-
tions, and some disposition to shorten
the list was shown. The result was
that declines Of one to four points
were sustained, Mexican Petroleum
sustaining the maximum drop.
Most Of the standard shares drop
ped back a point with light trading,
and the rails followed the action of
the industrials closely.
Firmer Tone Develops.
Shortly after the close of the first
hour the whole list developed a f1rmer
defined a rise that it looked very
much as if support had been forth
coming to check the downward trend.
Not only>did the recovery extend to
the losses, but 1t brought the high
est prices of the session. for the time
being, to very many shares. a direct
reversal of form for which there was
apparently no good reason.
Some Notable Recoveries.
Steel recovered from 9sN to 100
for the common shares, Baldwin Lo-
comotive recovered its & loss plus y
net advance, Crucible Steel sold up Y
net, Industrial Alcohol gained 8 points
net, Mexican Petroleum came back
from 1852 to 165H and other stocks
responded. Mercantile Marine gained
The rails did not attract much at
tention, even in the recovery. They
averaged about y point net recess
sion, nor was the trading at all active.
Leaders Yield Again.
During the listless noon hour lead
ers yielded again, with marked heav-
mess in utilities.
Gas and express shares fell 1 to
points, and shippings and oils also de-
clined, Mexican Petroleum repeating
its low quotation of the morning.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, November 1S.-Fresh ad-
vances in the value of corn took place
today, regardless of an aggressive
selling drive. European food short
age continued to be a strong bulilsh
factor. In addition, wet weather,
which threatened to hamper the do
mestic crop movement, operated as
a decided stimulus to demand. Open
ing prices, which ranged from y off
to % up, with December 1:25A to
1851 and January 1.26k Y to 1-27. were
followed by a moderate general sag
and then by sharp upturn all around.
Smallness of arrivals gave firmness

Salisbury Act Extension.

Senators today continued to discuss
the feasibility of extending the Sauls-

tenants in the District of Columbia for
period of six months after peace has
been proclaimed.
The Senate District committee did
not meet today to consider the Hoke
Smith resolution to extend the Sauls-
pury act. as it was expected to do.
The committee probably will meet at
an early date to pass upon the reso-
luton.
There is some doubt as to whether

Dear children of the Hospital club:
There is only one day more of 1918

l find in looking over the accounts,
that $3.50 is owing. Some of you owe
for the whole year. fifty-two cents;
many owe for the half year, and one
or two owe as little as two cents, but
/ should be so pleased if you all would
come running to me with your dues
so | could deposit that whole amount
on the last day of the year. That is
one side of the question, the other side
is, that forty children, have already
paid up for this year, and | have ten
members paid UP for the whole season
of 1919.
Altogether l have los names on the
roll, so you will see there are fifty
nine children who are still in debt,
so please come all of you and los of
new ones. and bring me your money
tomorrow.

SITTING FURNACE,
STOVE, CRATE ASH
SAVES MUCH FUEL
U. S. Fuel Administration Urges
Reclamation of All Waste
to Aid Fuel Situation.

Thousands OF tons Of coal can be
reclaimed and proportionate dollars
saved In fuel bills IL the house
holders of the nation will adopt the
simple, homely method of sitting
their ashes. About Eve bucket
tuls Of coal are thrown away in the
ashes each week by the wasteful
householder Each bucketful weighs
about nineteen pounds. and fresh nut
coal sold by the bucketful costs about
10 cents each. II this coal is reclaimed
by sitting the ashes, 1t would repre-
sent a saving of 80 cents q week and
conserve just so much coal for the
dealer to supply other householders.
The United States Fuel Administra-
ton gives the following directions for
reclaiming coal from ashes:
How to sIft Ashes.
Shake the sitter until all the dust.
like particles fall through. You viii
then have left In your sitter a mix.
ture of black and white-covered pieces
of coal and probably few clinkers
and pieces of stone.
Pick out and throw away all stone.
Do not throw away clinkers unless
they are thoroughly burned. Coal
will often fuse In such a manner that
the part In the center is not burned.
Break clinkers apart, and If there is
any black substance in them it is
carbon. and they can be burned over
again.
White chunks generally contain q
large amount of carbon, though their
covering might be soft and have the
appearance OF ashes. Do not throw
them away.
Coal thus recovered should be
spread on the ground and spriDkled
with water This will open the seams
in the coal, and when 1t is placed in
the heater the fire will reach and ig.
mite the unused carbon.
1t is better not to mix the coal thus
reclaimed with fresh coal. Keep it In
a separate pile
Reclaimed coal should generally be
used on a red hot fire, although 1t can
also be used in banking a fire at night
