A Widow at Nine,

In the Seventeenth century, juvenile
unions were Of frequent occurrence.
Wards In chancery were sometimes
married at five years Of age: and
Mol Villiars, daughter of the first
duke Of buckingham, was not merely
a wife but widow before she was
nine, and we read Of her romping In
the garden IN her widows veil. In
almost every instance. however, such
marriages were in name only, and the
little wives were allowed to reach their
teens before taking up the burdens

gruffly. "Tll have to take you to the

Betty was staring at him rather
wildly.
"Why-why-it can't be jerry she

the judge.

his courage waning. But he thrust |
his sympathy rudely aside.

seemed to sense the real situation.
"Officer lock her up" he ordered.

NEW YORK. July 2l.-The New

paratively steady tone today. al
though there were no specially
wide movements in any stocks or
group. and business in the list gem
orally was quiet and small in
volume. Attention was attracted
to the manner in which the foreign
oil stocks acted. International Pc
troleum and Maracaibo both hold

issues on the stock exchange were
under concentrated pressure and
sustained severe declines.
The Cities Service issues were in
supply on a small scale. the common
stock sagging of TO ll6 during the

Elk Basin sagged of slightly, SELL

)ER RANGE OF FARM AID URGEDFAR CREDIT
TMELYWAIL LSTREETTOPICS

NEW YORK. July 2L-Reduction
OF discount rates failed to stimu-
late the market today. There were
strong spots and weak spots. but
dullness prevailed and trading con-
tinued professional. Certain Issues
such as studebalser and Famous
Players were prominent as the OBJ
ject OF successful attacks, by the
bear, crowd. The rails In general
held firm and the steels, in view
of unfavorabhe reports. made a re-
latively good showing. United
States Steel and Crucible closed
down a fraction and Republic
closed. up S. The foreign oils
were, weak, Mexican Petroleum
closing down 1b. In general there
was little change from the mar
kets of the past few days.
Mexican Petroleum opened down
a point and half this morning at
lo2h and subsequently sold on to
lO1A before noon. The early SELL
ing was attributed to the fire in
the Amatlan oil fields. but IL was
announced during the morning that
the company's properties are situ-
ated some ten miles north of the
area affected Rumors of a change

In Mexican Petroleum's DIVIDEND as
a result of the tax on OIL exports
from Mexico may have been q fac
tor In the decline, although those
IN touch with the company's affairs
are said to. scout the idea OF such
a change.
studebsker was the object of
successful attacks by the bear
crowd in today's trading, and was
forced down points 10 77K by
l o'clock. The stock has been
heavily sold IN spite of favorable
reports as to earnings, the only
explanation offered being that ft is
used as a cats-paw to facilitate
snort covering in other directions.
The movement OF the steel stocks
was subject OF comment in Wall
Street today in view of yesterdays
statement showing a deficit for Re-
public Steel Of tss3.s7s for the sec
ond quarter after all charges and
taxes. The stocks were heavy, frac-
tional losses being generally re-
corded. while Crucible at one time
sold OF a point TO 53E. These is
sues held up relatively well. how
ever, in a market where certain
stocks declined TO points for
no apparent reason. In the case
of Republic, 1t was held that the
news had already been discounted
in yesterdays decline OF Is points.
As regards the others. Il was main
tained that mere corroboration OF
what was already common knowl-
edge as regards conditions in the
steel industry would hardly be suf-
hcient to cause serious losses
II was generally assumed in the
Wall Street district that the re-
duction in the discount rate by the
four important Federal reserve
banks, including the Federal re-
serve bank OF this district, to 81
per cent would be followed by
larger supply OF money both on
call and time and the reduction in
the renewal rate for call money
this morning to 5iz per cent was
generally looked on as the first
step in this direction.
