STOCK TRADING
MORE TW0-S|DEO
Growing IrreguIarity Indicated
Increasing Weight Of Heavy
Realizing Sales

New York. Sept S.--Thc growing
two. sided character of the trading was
moro clearly defined in tcday's stock
market. This was partly reflected in
the increasing irregularity of price
movement and the slackening of activity
on the part of the pool interests. At
the same time the entire list conspiCu-
OuSly lacked the sustaining influence of
the short interest. On the other hand,
quite few of the speculative special.
ties plainly showed the weight of the
heavy realizing sales of the preceding
Sos sions While there were no positive
reaCtionary tendencies present during
the morning nevertheless the market a
a whole displayed tired appearance
and showed an inclination to slip back,
A considerable portion of the trading
contingent were disposed to accept the
award Of Judge Lands in the Chicago
building trade controversy of great i'm
portance. especially in connection with
the reconstruction going on in labor
prices. As a market factor. however. it
fell rather fat. but this was because the
disCOunting process or squeezing of the
short interest had been overdon". Sew.
cral attempts were made during the
forenoon to inject fresh life in to the
iaddcd trading by taking up several Of
more manipulativc issues. butsthc mar
ECt did not possess the necessary
'foIlow-up' qualities.
Possibly the lacking up Of the spec
taCulnr performance in the cotton mar
ket also had SOLDERING influence. In
all events. it was evident MS the morn
ing advanced that a spirit of caution
nrpvnilrd in most all OllartCrS which
was partly traGpablc to the growing fear
nf tho market running ahead of tn"
improvement as ii had done on several
previous occasions.
Resistance to the recent rise was
Indicated at the opening. Mexican Pc
trolcum. StudebakCr aud American
Sugar were under modcrNt" pressure.
| hut baldwin LOCOMOTIVES Crucble
! Steel. Pan. American Petroleum. Gen
cral Asphalt. Chandler and some Of I'll"
! rails were firm to strong. Within ~"
! first half hour. however. the list
I strengthened. Baldwin Locomotive lead e

! Srvcrs' Of the more important indus

| riOuS obscure food SpcrialticS. made fur
| thcr gains in th" early dealings. Tue
market reversed its course before noon.

/ cheaper motors reacted. Mexican Pc

and United Drug also wcr" heavy. the

COTTON MARKET

New York. Sept. S.-The cotton mar
ket had another very active opening
today The first sale of October was
at a net decline of 100 points, but later
transactions in that contract. as well

bulls after three cent decl line from

as well as purchasing for New orleans

The result was n sharp recovery from
the lowest call prices, but at the upturu
renewed selling developed and the list
became very unsettled, with prices, at

Ottawa journal Says His PhiIadel
phla Editorials Were Models

Ott8Wa, Ont. Sept. S.-RefCrring to
cx-PrcSident Taft $ connection with the
Philadelphia PUBLIC LEDGER. and well
coming him to Ottawa. where he is at
tending the American Bar Association u
annual convention, the Ottawa Journal
says; Most people know Taft. the
ex-president and Chief Justice; few
know Taft, the journalist. Yet Mr..
Taft is that; journalist whose edi-
torials in the Philadelphia PUBLIC
LEDGER were models Of the proverbial
we, and whose tri- weekly surveys OF
world affairs revealed tho breadth of
knowledge and the wisGvIn which have
| characterized his whole career.
1T is because Of such gifts and cf
such higher character that Canada
loves and welcomes Mr.. Taft; but il
| loves him for something else. II loves
! and welcomes him for what he did and
, said in the war, Mr.. Taft was no luke
warm friend of the Allies. From tho
first and always aftcrward he was OH
the right side seeing the issue steadily
and seeing It whole, n potent voice and
influence in the cause"
