NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

Wall St, New York, Nov. 12.-STOCKS-
Oils and equipments were the most prom
inent features of today's brief but fairly
broad stock market Prices were irregular
in the initial dealings but hardened later
on the market strength shown by high
grade oils, notably Standard Oil of New
Jersey, which rose z points. The closing
was strong.
Selected issues furnished only features OF
interest at the dull and irregular opening
of today's stock market. Mexican Pc
troleum,. Pullman. Haskell and Barker
and Railway Steel Spring were firm to
strong, MS were also some of the domestic
oil. Coppers and food and Textile Special
ties strengthened, but changes among rails
issues. Sears Roebuck declined one point
and American Sugar preferred, United
States Rubber and Allis Chalmers, were
under pressure. European advices over the
holiday were without influence on local
foreign exchange rates

off to &c up, oats were at gains of 1411se
to lie and provisions down 2Te to 81.
1t was predicted that total primary re-
ceipts Of wheat for the week would hardly

Bulls seemed disposed to make much aso
of reports that prolonged dry weather in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas was doing
serious harm to the winter crop. Subse-
Quently, however, part of the advance in
wheat prices disappeared owing in the main
to official announcement that domestic
farm reserves of corn are the biggest ever
known. Offerings of corn were said to have
Increased to a material extent after the
government report confirming a record
breaking reserve supply on farms
Oats were less affected Heavy receipts
of hogs forced down provisions.

TOLEDO IS MAKING

TO WELCOME MOOSE
(By The Associated Press.) }

Toledo. Ohio, June 20-This city is
being made into garden of flowers
to welcome the Bird annual intcrna-
tional supreme convention of the Loyal
Order of Moose here on June ~
a campaign started here several
months ago had as its slogans PLANT
flowers in every spot where flowers can
be made to grow" and welcome the
Moose with flowers" AS result
flower planting has become almost a
mania with the citizens.
While the Loyal Order of Moose will
take up the majority of their time dur
ing the convention with play, they
also will devote quite a lot of time to
real business. Secretary of Labor
James J. Davis. who is the supreme
dictator of the Moose will deliver an
address, as will also number of others,
prominent in Moose circles.
The entertainment planned is on a
elaborate scale a Moose grill will be
given on July ~, the entertainment be-

WOOL GROWERS WILL
SHIP Two CARLOADS
Hamilton County Fleece
Wool Growers AssOcia-
ton to Ship Wool.

At meeting of the directors Of the
Hamilton County Fleece Wool Grow
ers association held in the city hall
Saturday evening, it was decided to
ship two carloads of wool from this
county to the National Wool Ware
house & Storage company in Chicago.
The first carload will be shipped from
this city June 2S ard the second from
Stanhope June 80.
The object of the local orsaniza.in
as well as that of the state wool grow
crS association, with which tho local
organization is affiliated. is to shorten
the route from the producer to tit"
consumer, thereby saving for the wool
growers a larger portion of the con
Sumer'S dollar without increasing the
retail price of the manufactured ar
ticle. BY marketing direct from the
grower to the consumer the grower is
assured of full market for his COM
modify based on supply and demand
less the cost of preparing for the mar
ket. BY this method of marketing, the
grower is brought in close touch with
the consumer of his product and is
made familiar with the demands and
requirements of the consumers Of wool,
thus enabling the grower to produce an
article which will more nearly meet
the mill requirements
Each shipper is given lot number
to he marked on each of his sacks. The
way mistakes may be checked and
traced.
