Central Leather

An interest close to Central Leather
affairs said yesterday that it is prob
sDlc that the current price of the stock
will fnlly discount the losses incidental
to the reduction Of inventory values.
There is an old saying in the leather
trade" it was stated. chat high priced
hides go into low priced leather and
low priced hides make high priced
leather. The meaning Of this is that
almost invariably the seven-months
period required to produce leather
from hides in the watts marks general
change in the condition of the mar
kets. The inference may fairly be
drawn that recent lerge decreases in
earnings have followed the purchase of
hides at very high prices seven to
twelve months ago; whereas, if there
is any business at all, the next year
should show proportionate increase of
profits from the utilization of hides
row being bought at low prices. The
leather business is one in which con-
stant purchase Of raw material is
essential to the continuance of oper-
atiOns"

Tomorrow that interesting barom-

known that cancellations of contracts

consumers Of steel have been holding

One-Year Time Money

Brokers reported. yesterday that
some of the banks were willing to
lend time money for period Of year
at So and per cent according to the
collateral. Although Stock Exchange
firms have been complaining for
months that bullish operations could
not be conducted so long as loans could
be called from day to day they ad-
mitted that they were unwilling TO
commit themselves on time loans run.
ming for twelve months. 1t was argued
that the desire Of the banks to place
their money for so long period was
an indication that they expected the
me ncy market to work easier after the
crop demands had been taken care Of,
In quarters where a continued slowing
up in business is expected, the policy
of the banks was also interpreted as
meaning that stocks are heading for
lower levels.

FrcenorG Texas

One Of the few strong spots in the
market yesterday was Freeport Texas,
te the close. The sudden revival Of
activity in this issue was accompanied
by reports of buying for control by
competing interests. In certain brok-
erage house an interesting story was
told of a man who came down to mar
ket early and put in an order for the
purchase of 1000 shares Of Freeport
Texas. This man, it was said, had
been told to buy q block of stock in
order to take advantage of rise that
was coming, He bought his stock
around 21 and could have sold it at
better than "a before the end of the
session.

Brokers Advise Caution

The general trend Of brokerage opin-
ion yesterday was that the railroad list
was likely to run into some profit
taking before further advance can be
expected. The long range view. how
ever, was that rail shares have a long
way to go before they fully. discount
the beneficial effects Of the rate ad-
vance. With few exceptions the in
dustrlals have few friends, and traders
sensing this yesterday resumed their
hammering tactics in this department.
AS usual, such issues as Steel common
Baldwin and the Dohenv stocks were
made the special targets of their
operations. Considerable headway was
made in Mexican Petroleum and Pan
American Petroleum and Transport, de-
spite the announcement that these
properties had more than doubled their
leases in Mexico.

Investors Buy PENNSYLVANIA

Current strength of Pennsylvania
Railroad shares is attributed to the
best kind of investment buying, which
is said to have run into large figures
in recent weeks. AS a result, it is
said that the list of Pennsylvania
stockholders as of the first of this
month will show, when tabulated, an
other substantial increase. On August
the number of stockholders of the
road stood at high record of 1895.
Investors have been buying Pennsyl-
vania apparently in the belief that the
40 per cent increase in freight rates
will put the system in much the strong
est position in years despite recent
heavy additions to operating costs by
reason of the wage increases granted
B. short time ago.

ELECTRIC CAR is
ADAPTED TO CITY
Periodic Recharging of Batteries
Makes It Impossible to Go
Long Distances.
OUTLYING STATIONS SCARCE
Greater Mileage Obtained From Bat
terry Freshly Charged - Testing
With Piece of Metal Common
FauIt-Use Volunteer.

The electric vehicle, whether truck
or pleasure, is Of necessity city ma
chine. The periodic recharglng Of the
storage batteries makes it impossible
for the car to travel very great dis
tances from its base Of supply, for the
charging stations In outlying districts
are few and far between.
The construction Of battery is COM
paratively simple. 1t consists Of g
positive plate (of a reddish brown
coior) and negative plate (of gray
'ish COLOR, separated by a ribbed wood
OF hard rubber separator. The frame
work Of plate, which, in battery
technique, is called a grid, consists Of
lead, and into this the active material
IL pressed. The active material Is
made up Of red lead mixed with proper
chemicals for the positive plate, and
pure lead Of a spongy character for
me negative.
Arrangement of Plates.
a number Of these plates, sufficient

nected to their respective terminals

the positive plate expels or breathes
out the electrolyte on charging and
soaks up or inhales 1t on discharging.
This also explains why battery will
give greater mileage on fresh charge.
losing 1t when the car is left in the
garage for any length Of time.
The best way to ascertain the bat
tery's condition is by the use of
hydrometer syringe. A fully charged
cell will read about 1875 to 1900
points and a discharged cell around
1,16O.
Common Testing Fault.
A common fault Is to test battery
with a piece of metal. such as wire,
screwdriver. etc., getting spark by a
direct short circuit. Don't do this, for
it causes the plates to buckle and
crack. A voltmeter is the only in
strument that can safely be used, other
than hydrometer. A cell will read
about % volts on voltmeter.
When charging battery the cleo
trolyte will heat up to degree de-
pending upon the rate Of charging.

With Vicious AnimaI-kansas
Provision Amusing.

Only q few years ago the automobile
was not in general use and there were
no laws in any of the states governing
its use and speed or defining it's rights
on the highways. Today there are vol
umes In the libraries devoted exclu-
sively to automobile laws.
These books are full of valuable in
formation to the motorist who would
like to avoid the law courts, naive
Illustrations of the applicability of the
law, and laughable decisions by courts
of many states relative to the status
of the automobile.
It became necessary for the courts
to decide, among other things, whether
the automobile belongs in the same
category as vicious bull or dog, or
whether it is a dangerous agency and
to be clased with explosives, inflamma-
BILE substances, and firearms. To the
great relief of all automobile owners,
the courts have decided both of these
questions in the negative.

GUS statutory provisions are exceed
ingly interesting from any point Of
view. Some of the provisions are real
ly amusing. Thus, the legislature OF
Kansas has shown it's kindly feeling
toward motoring by actually incorpo-
