BEARS EXERCISED
 CONTROL OVER THE
 DAYS STOCK LIST
Nominal Dealings In Leading Bonds, Including Liberty Is- sues, Indicated Further
 Price IrreguIarity
By Associated Press

New York February 19.-Bears exer- cised undisputed control over today s short. but lively stock market session, availing themselves of adverse. overnight advices to bring about further impair. ment if quoted values.
 Atlantic Gulf and Wset Indies, the weakest feature of the previous day when it suffered an extreme decline in excess of 10 points, was under renewed pres sure, sustaining a net loss of five points cn far the largest turnover of any issue.
 American Woolen was another vulner- able stock. losing mol than five points CT concentrated offerings. Oils, as a group, was most conspicuous, latest de- velopments in the Mexican fields giving impetus to renewed liquidation.
 Reactions extended to steels, equip ments, motors and coppers, finally em- bracing many miscellaneous issues. Leathers also sustained severe declines on the unfavorable annual statement of central leather. 1
 Rails alone were comparatively inn mune from the general selling move ment, which continued almost to the heavy close, when short covering served to effect some moderate rallies.
 Nominal dealings in bonds, including Liberty issues, indicated further pric~ irregularity, several of the recent foreign IlOdIdLlO1S dlSO iIldHlLSSliliS iui eiiCi " actionary tendencies. Total sales, par value, s5,375.0Oo.
 No features of especial interest were disclosed by the clearing house state ment Actual loans and discounts showed a further contraction of slightly over go 0O0, 900, and reserves decreased by about s7,600, 900, reducing the total excess to a little more than $11,700,000.

Welding Optical Class

new and valuable process for weld ing glass optical parts has been devel- oped by member of the bureau of standards, and is described with illus trations in the Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. This will be useful for the con struction of glass cells, hollow prisnls glass tubes dramatically closed with ac- curately flat, ground, and polished ends; for the joining of lenses; for providing windows of plane optical glass for incan- descent lamps for special uses, and for numberless other purposes, of great value in scientific and technical work and in the products of certain indus tries.
 Other methods for welding glass are known and used, but this method has ad- vantages in that the welding can be ac- complished with an inappreciable distor- tion of the main surface of the glass and the cost of preparing the parts is less.

Weekly Financial Review
Bx Assaciafed Pres.

New York, February 19.-Trading in stocks and bonds this week was attended by a series of irregular selling move ments and enforced liquidation the reac- tion keeping pace with further unset tied conditions in the financial, indus trial and commercial markets
 Losses were most severe ins the ship ping, oil and motor issues, but gradually extended to steels and railway equip months, as well as numerous shares of no definite character. Declines were accom- panied by rumors of further dividend re- Fductions or suspensions, notably in the case of Atlantic. Gulf and West Indies.
 Rails, especially coalers and Pacifics held their ground. although earnings for the most part offered additional proof or curtailed industrial production and di- unfinished tonnage The Reading dsso- lution plan met with little favor, judged fro mheavy selling of those shares and organization of protective committees.
 Call money was again offered as low as per cent on the exchange, and a fraction under that quotation in the open market but time funds held firm and the attitude of the federal reserve board gave little hope of immediate relaxation for such accommodations.
 International credits as expressed in terms of foreign exchange were extreme ly unsettled Temporary improvement was offset by advices from London and Paris. which indicated that the German indemnity plan is likely to undergo con- siderable revision.

 New York, February 19.-The local market for raw sugar was quiet and as no fresh business was reported, prices were unchanged at 49s for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 5.64 for centrifugal. There were offerings at quoted prices but no demand.
 The market for refined was steady and unchanged at 750 for fine granu- lated. There was fair inquiry re- ported, although the demand is said to be diminishing. There was only a quiet trade in futures and operators were inclined to even up and await developments in connection with the proposed Cuban selling plan. It was reported that the committee in Cuba would begin preparations next week, which led to a little covering, and prices advanced slightly, closing un- changed to 8 points net higher. March closed at 4.9s; May 5.2S; July 5.44; September 5.63.

Then, very nervously. he pecked her

FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE
Practical Means Of Producing PORK.
According to Department Of Aeri-
culture Bulletin.

When properly managed, the feed
ing Of garbage to swine Is n practical
means of pork production. according
TO Farmers Bulletin 1873 issued by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
In addition II helps to settle a prob
lem which confronts many cities aud
towns-that OF effective and economi.
cal garbage disposal. The wholesome
ness of garbage depends greatly on
the care It receives In households. Tin
cans. glass. paper. oyster shells, saw
dust, soap, and other foreign mate
rails when mixed with garbage may
cause numerous losses OF hogs. But 1t
has been found that this evil can be
minimized by proper precaution and
published requests to householders to
be careful.
Immunizing OF hogs is necessary to
prevent hog cholera and frequent col
lection is urged to keep the feed fresh.
Copies OF the bulletin may be had free
by applying to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
