THE FINANCIAL MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The stock
market today gave no positive outward
manifestation OF the encouraging as
poets of the railroad situation.
Dealings were moderate and short
covering in certain branches Of the
list, Pullman, for example, was offset
by professional pressure in other
quarters, notably steels. feathers,
rubbers and chemicals.
Declaration of the regular dividend
on Pullman for the two quarters not
only cancelled yesterdays sharp re-
cession, but left a substantial net gain.
Other equipment and most Of the
steels were heavy, however, in antici-
patton of poor statements for the years
third quarter.
Rails and oils made variable gains,
in no important case extending be-
yond one or two points. Specialties of
the types represented by Virginia Iron,
Coal and Coke and National Cloak and
Suit Preferred were decidedly strong
on limited transactions.
The only feature of the call money
market which opened at 4 IL per
cent but dropped to 4 per cent at noon
was the abundance of offerings, these
augmented by another inflow from in
terror points. Brokers reported offer
1ngs Of two and three months money
at q shade under prevailing quota
tons and a better demand for short
bank acceptances.
Regardless of the British premier's
pessimistic utterances in the house of
commons, sterling exchange rose sub
stantially over yesterdays depression
and German marks were apparently
better despite the utter decentralization
reported from Berlin. Other European
remittances tended toward firnness.
but Far Eastern rates, especially
reacted on the further de-
cline Of bar silver.

GATORS
LACK OFFENSIVE
University Football Squad Fine or
Line Work But Weak
Against Press.

GAINESVILLE, Fla, As the result Of
the game Saturday against Mercer in
which the University Of Florida de-
feated the opposing team TO. the
coach has put special stress this week
Ion speeding up the team and trying
to develop an offensive spirit.
The game Saturday showed that the
Gators have nothing to fear in holding
any team in the south as far as the
line and defensive work is concerned.
but that they lack the offensive spirit
without which it will be impossible to
run up large scores.
The defense against aerial attack
showed decided improvement over
last Mondays game. The few forward
passes that were tried by the Florida
team, though for the most part incom-
plete, showed the result Of the stress
put on that form Of tactics during the
last week.
F1orida's interference in running
plays around end and returning the
ball after receiving 1t from the kick
off showed itself not to be UP to the
standard and the backs and ends have
been run through hours Of drill in that
work since Monday.
Duncan plays a wonderful game at
half back and was one of the most
consistent ground gamers, although
IL was the first time he has played
in that position. The game gave sew
eral Of the second line scrubs a chance
to show their metal and Pomeroy and
Cox did well for the short time they
were In.
The game with the University Of
Tennessee at Knoxville next Saturday
will be a hard fight against one Of the
most aggressive teams in the south.
and although the spirit is optimistic,
1t Is realized that the Gators viii have
to show more Improvement on the Of
fensive IL they expect to give a good
account of themselves in this game.

WESTERN STARS WIN FROM
THE P. K. YONGE SCHOOL

The Western Stars defeated the
P. K Yonge School by a 2-s score
yesterday afternoon in the final clash
of the season between these two
teams. The game was a tight pitch
ers' battle between Mobiles and Hen
ricllson. Each pitcher was touched for
two hits. but Henrickson's wildness
and errors by his teammates was re-
sponsible for the loss of the game
The Stars scored three runs in the
third inning by a hit batsman, three
errors and a safety.
The work OF Smith on first base for
the Stars was the feature OF the game,
he having saved several bad throws

Secretary of the Navy DENLY
cabled the Admiral to return

Water in Good Condition.

The water used by the towns
of Hamlet and Rockingham is in
good condition, according to an
analysis made last week by the
State Laboratory of Hygiene at
Raleigh. The water was taken
from a spigot on the 10th, and a
detailed analysis was received on
the 23rd. This analysis shows
there are no colon bacilli either
in c. c. or 10 c. c. and no acid
producing bacteria. The alkalinity

at 80 c. per c. c. is 800.
The report shows there are no
acid-producing bacteria in the
water, Acid-producing bacteria
in most cases are colon hacilli or
Iother bacteria which indicate
pollution, So this analysis shows
our drinking water to be free Of
pollution. Speaking of colon
bacilli" it is interesting to note
THAT typhoid bacteria do not origi
nate in water. They get into
water only from contact with
human beings or from human ex
creta. Their isolation from water

fortunately their presence is moi
fso rare. The purity of water
must be estimated by Other
