Only few finishing touches are
necessary for the completion of the
new st. Anthony's hospital located
adjacent to the site Of the old hos
pital by that name, 767 Thirtieth

The main body of the building is
now completed. and all that re-
mains to be done consists in paint

new hospital is one of the largest

The prevalence OF seborrhea (the
dandruff diseased is appalling, But
just as science proved that dand-

offers the remedy.

1t peuetrates the scalp and unless
the hair roots are entirely dead. it

The ingredients of FAMO have
never before been used in the treat

well known to medical science
Three years were spent in per
fecting FAMO in one OF the great
pharmaceutical laboratories of De-

Coal Strike Threat
Causes Dip in the
Stock Market
Heavy Liquidation Ensues
When Market Gives WAY
Under Pressure of Pro-
fessional Selling.

raiders in speculative securities
suddenly impressed with the serious
ness of the labor situation as empha-
sized by the impending strike of btu
minous coal miners, turned to the sell
ing side of the stock market vester-
day.
The result was precipitate fall in
prices of the same industrial stocks
that had risen so buoyantly earlier in
the week. In the two hours of trad
ing approximately a million shares of
stock changed hands at the exchange
The weakness Of the market position
was uncovered soon after the opening,
when professional traders brought
pressure against the steels. The fail
ure of the group to resist the selling
from this quarter caused the liquida-
ton of long accounts by the public
and it was not long before the move
ment attained great momentum, which
carried the market down without a
rally, prices closing about at the bot
tom. There was evidence of scale buy
ing on the decline, but it was not in
sufficient volume to stem the tide.
Losses Of 1 to 10 points were regis
tered by the leading industrial stocks
Steel common losing 3as points net
Bethlehem Az, Lackawanna Steel SIS
Republic Steel 7, Baldwin Locomotive
Ga, Chandler Motors 6, Mexican Pc
troleum 10, General Motors n, Ma
tional Lead 5$4 and Studebaker AZ
In many of the unseasoned industrial
specialties breaks of a point or more
were common between sales.
The decline was accelerated by the
catching of numerous stop-loss orders
put in by timid traders who had no
great confidence in the stability of
prices around the levels reached earlier
in the week. In fact, this lack of con-
fdence, even among operators who
were enthusiastic bulls few days ago
was most important contributing
factor in bringing about the decline
The market appeared to be in much
stronger position now the reaction has
taken place. The decline may carry
further next week. although it was the
consensus of opinion after the close
yesterday that the selling movement
has >.@0ut run its course and that un-
les the news over the weekend is dis
tlnctly unfavorable moderate recoveries
may be looked for on Monday. But
until 1T is known definitely whether
there is to be a strike of the soft coal
miners on November / the market is
likely to be much quietcr affair

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

regular manner in this market last
week. temporary recovery in sterling
on the announcement of the $3.50, 900 900
British government loan and fresh
slump in Italian lire to a new low rec
ord being the outstanding developments.
The news Of the British loan offering
came as surprise to the exchange
market and was followed by a rally
of more than cents in the pound in
sterling to S4.18. From there it eased
off again later to around SAILS. Tho
British loan was of more than usual in
terest to the exchange market because
of the fact that the new issue is con-
vertible into British war bonds at
fixed rate of exchange of S4.3O to the
pound.
The weakness in Italian exchange
emphasized the extremely unfavorable
financial position OF Italy and the urg-
cnt needs Of that country in the shape
Of dollar credits. Bankers said that
, the chance of Italy getting a loan here
were not good unless the United States
and the other allies stand sponsors
