st. Louis Southwestern.

Just why st. Louis Southwestern
common and preferred should break
away from their group and go galavant-
ing off on a wild movement OF their
own caused Wall Street to scratch it's
respected head yesterday. and talk that,
despite the evident grasp that Edwin
Gould and his associates had on its con-
troll. n scrap was brewing in the offing
went the rounds. The common adj
vanced 27s points and touched 20, while
the preferred advanced AS points and
sold as high as 49la. st. Louis
southwestern, of course, is winning its
way back and It's dividends probably will
be resumed as soon as those of any of
the other little rails. It's September
gross income was SO per cent. in excess
of the September, 1919, income, and its
that of August, 1919. Still that hardly
accounts for the manner In which brok-
ers. armed with big buying orders. Skin
mshed for the stock yesterday. There
were reports several months ago that
big banking interests had purchased
control of Southwestern in the open
market and that the showdown would
come at its annual meeting, which was
held fortnight ago and Mr.. Gould was
reelected to his place and his son was
named a director. wall Street assumed
that the story of the fight for control
was all bunk. Just now, II liz not so
sure that the proxies which the Gould
faction gathered were not sent in by the
very interests bucking the present man
agement, those interests having decided
to postpone their showdown.

Untitled Steel Orders Decline.

The fine financial showing made by
the Republic Iron and Steel Company.
so far as past business is concerned, and
the showing made by the Lackawanna
Steel Company last week have caught
the fancy of Wall Street, although there
are but few who do not believe that
eventually those corporations will be
obliged to revise their price schedules.
Those who hold that belief point to the
figures on the untitled tonnage of Re-
public as wei. as of Lackawanna as OF
more Importance, at the moment, than
the past performances recorded in the
September quarterly reports as the lat
ter are water over the wheel. Republic
untitled orders totalled 333.SS9 tons AT
the end of September. against 491, 5S5
on June 30, and 433,495 on September

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Stocks sagged into irregularity and
weakness yesterday afternoon after a
strong morning session on news that the
railroad workers of England had served
an ultimatum on the Premier. David
Lloyd George. The close found stocks
weak and unsettled, and. although
losses We're not extensive, still all but
professional support was absent, and
traders continued to increase their
short lines right up to the close. The
markets immediate course probably
will be governed by to-day's develop
ments. and more than usual interest at
tends the unfolding of the days news.
The strike abroad is being watched
closely as a potent market factor. as is
the speech of Judge Gary on steel con-
ditions. to be delivered this morning.
There were some moves in special stocks
yesterday because of developments Pc
culiar to those stocks. In that class
may be put the st. Louis and South
western move and the advance of Stand
ard OH of Indiana, on the curb. The
latter has recorded a gain of approx
mately 80 points in two days. Assoc
ciated Oil dashed up 16 points near the
close. Copper stocks were irregular and
soft on the news that copper has sold at
Is 4 cents The Engineering and Min
ing Journal reports that sales are diff
cult to make at Is cents. A develop
ment of the day which attracted con-
siderable attention in Wall Street was
the reduction OF the working hours of

Small Profit Better Than Loss.

AS usual. the rumor mongers have
been getting things twisted. 1t has been
circulated far and wide in the Street
that a pool in Mexican Petroleum has
been dissolved and checks mailed to the
participants. The fact of the matter is
that the pool was in Pan-American Pc
troleum, and-its n sad tale, mates
the pool did not make enough money
for its efforts to pay for the cigars its
members smoked while hanging over the
tape. Checks were distributed yesterday
and some of them were so small that the

checks and the word cents" written
before the numerals. well, a small

sophically remarked the head of one
house, as he exhibited his share of the
proceeds. approximately sufficient to pay

Negotiating a Brazilian Loan.

Rumors in Wall Street that New York
bankers were negotiating for a Brazil
ian Government loan are based on a
cable from Rio de Janeiro which stated
that Brazil would borrow $40OO0OOO in
this market. Should that financing
come to a head it would be the first
time that Brazil offered it's Government
securities here, all previous financing
having been done in the London market.
i'll which its obligations in normal times
sold on a basis of AZ to per cent. In
enc international banking house, which
has been associated with other South
American financing, 1t was stated that
Brazil was entitled to high credit stand
ing because of its great productive re-
sources and the stable Governm ent
which it has had since its separation
from Portugal. That house stated also
that loan to Brazil at this time should
enhance greatly American trade oppor-
tunities, and that it would mark a fur

ANTS WATCH MAN PLANT BED OF CABBAGE, THEN CLEAN IT UP

With his heart set on corned beef and cabbage for the holidays, Jim Will son, living west in the direction of Buckeye, planted bed of cabbage seed at 10 o'clock in the morning and carefully sprinkled the bed. At l o'clock in the afternoon he returned to see how the bed was getting along and, according to his report to the cham Der of commerce, found forty million thousand ants on the bed or approach ing"
 "The ants took every seed and left me there looking like a fool. which I am," he said. Wilson came for reme- dial relief or any kind of relief from ants. so that he could plant more cabbage seed. He said that nelgh- bor told him the ants came because the horned toads had dug themselves in for a period of time in order to con- tinue their specie, but would be out again next month, when they, as cham

pion ant catcheEs, would clean up tne place.
 Wilson said he inquired further and was told that the ants have been lying low for some time. He said he was told the ants would be out in full force for a spell" and was told to get blue dust and sprinkle over the bed after he plants it again. This, as ex- plained. being a sure shot and one which will not injure the young plants when they come up. Wilson said he would not wait for the toads to come back, as he wished to be sure of corned beef and cabbage around Christmas and therefore would try the blue dust. As to the ants that attacked his ersr- while cabbage seed bed, Wilson said. "I didn't leave one seed uncovered and I planted about 100 of them. Ants either have mighty good smellers or they saw me plant the seeds through a periScOpe."
