Market Trend
STOCKS.


How far the August stock market
with its declining trend indicates the
future tendency In business Is a
question. In years past August
sometimes has and sometimes has
not not foretold developments OF the
ensuing months. A mistaken i'm
preston might not impossibly arise
from a close study OF the August
this year regardless Of condi-
tons and events outside. Absorption
Of stocks and bonds for 1.-The long
pull is undoubtedly in progress.
Wealthy men whose incomes have
dwindled are still selling securities IN
order TO meet their obligations but
this form Of liquidation will subside.
The floating supply Of stocks Is
said to be light and borrowings Of
brokerage houses are exceptionally
small The public will soon recognize
that many stocks are selling cheap.
To raise the market decisively e0i-
dence OF at least a moderate trade
revival is needed. This evidence
may shortly be forthcoming.

liberal receipts congested the mar

runs have their usual ability to stiff

increasing interest in this branch OF
the trade as the corn crop nears ma

men to cover their tracks. coupled
with completion Of the chain OF evil
dence that is being linked together
to show participation OF the two
men in the crime are the responsible
factors in delaying arrests in the

Teil-tale clues which. according

where the old man came TO his
death as the result of the attack

that these clues Will develop evil

the identity OF the men responsible
for the murder.
Eight men and two women have,
by their stories and their respective
account Of affairs, been under GER
tain suspicion by the police. Most
OF these, however, have cleared
themselves of any responsibility in
the happenings of last Saturday
night and the Investigation, at this
stage of il. has gone Ear enough to
indicate that only two Of the num-
Der under suspicion are still unable
to give a proper account of them
selves.

victions that the men we suspect
were the actual criminals" said AS

noon. I'VE can then bring our men
in and make them satisfy us as to
their guilt or innocense."

GRAIN.
(Chicago AIarketl

Primary arrivals Of wheat this sea
son nearly double those Of last year
when the crop was larger. account
ing for the weakness in grains.
Farmers have reason to place CONT
dence in ultimate values and IN fu-
ture export trade. Miuers are sure
TO keep a tight rein on the better
grades OF spring wheat because OF
the short crop. Coarse grains are
considered near their lowest, but
corn and perhaps oats may go lower
before the turn comes. Oats are
buoyed by the crop outlook, but de-
pressed by the heavy carry-over and
the farmers disposition to cash in on
old stocks. The nation Will harvest
a large corn crop and strong ad-
vances in this grain seem beyond thu
range OF proba biHty.

TO MAKE FURTHER
TESTS FOR WATER
SUPPLY FOR CITY
Larger Motor to be Used by
Experts in Testing Ex-
detrimental Wells.

Although water works officials
their test completed last week Of
the five-inch well at Sample and
Olive sts.. a further test win be made
with the use Of a larger motor with
which it is expected TO increase the
quantity OF water pumped, it be-
came known Saturday.
After a few days running Of a
faster working pump and the static
head Of the water is not reduced,
these men who have continued their
efforts TO seek a greater supply Of
water in the section Of the city
mostly in need Of it, will call their
work at an end. Then will follow
their report 10 the board Of water
commissioners with recommended
tons that a station be built having
a pumping capacity Of approximate
~ 100000 gallons per day, it was
announced.
Would Build Station.
To answer the present needs Of
the next year and perhaps for a few
years to come, a station Of s, 1000, 600
gallon capacity and costing in the
neighborhood Of S35. 900 is expected
to be the result of finding water in
bearing quantity in the western sec
ton OF the city. If there is not
sufficient funds by which a larger
station can be built. was the state
ment forthcoming from Superintend-
ent James +. Luther of the water
works Saturday,.
II is Mr.. Luther's belief. and which
belief is substantiated by william
Artingstall. civil engineer, employed
by the water works. that the bed Of
water found will. without much
question Of doubt, be able to pro-
duce d quantity of at least 5000, 600
gallons daily.
In connection with the question
OF the city's water needs, and which
was impressed forcibly last spring
by the National Board Of Fire I'm
derwriters who investigated the city's
water supply, the work of re-estab-
fishing a bigger flow at the Central
station is in progress. Awaiting the
setting of the concrete floor and the
arrival of the new pumps from New
York, which viii be operated cleo
trically by Westinghouse motors,
estimates are being now prepared
by the water works officials showing
the supply as the addition Of the
central stations equipment will yield
to the city's pipe mains.
The demands which the north
and central pumping stations are
now called upon 10 supply IS about
1900, 900 daily which for fire pro-
lection should be doubled. or ap-
proximately 26,OOO,0O0. The en-
larged facilities Of the central sta
ton with the addition to the supply
OF the Olive ST. wells when sunk
and a station built for pumping is
funded and in operation, will, IL is
the opinion Of water work officials
be sufficient TO answer the amount
asked for by the fire underwriters.

Frank and Blanche PianOwski,
living northeast Of Mishawaka on
Edwardsburg road, protested vigor-

a warrant had been sworn out for
their arrest by Margaret Stewart,
who charged them with assault and
battery.
Frank DianOwski said that neither
he nor his wife knew the plaintiff

a mistake IN names.
There are lots OF PienOwski's
and Pianoski's" they argued. but
Miss Stewart can't mean Pianowski.' 70
However. the police considered it
more than a coincident that the two
prisoners had surnames that cor
responded with those Of the persons
wanted and they were locked up
until they could secure bail.
