By Associated Press

New York. September 21-Heavy Institutional buying of bonds im- parted firm tone to today's early dealings, but some irregularity de- veloped later as a result of the marked recession in stock prices.

Early gains from one to three points were cut in half later. Eu- ropean bonds also tended upward
 Public utilities were active, gains of 1 to 1 F points being recorded
 Trading in rail shares was com paratively light and irregular. Lib erty prices were generally reaction ary.
 Total sales, par value. were s12,- 631.00O.
 Reports from Chicago indicated that the s15,000,0O0 debenture is- sue of the Cudahy Packing company was oversubscribed. The province of Ontario is expected to float s25,- 000,000 loan in this market next month.

HUBBARD's LETTER

New York, September 2l.-(Special) )-- On the opening this morning, there was considerable hedge selling through commits sion houses but this selling to great ex- tent was absorbed by buying orders from the mills. Shortly after the opening tho market was in receipt of large selling or ders from Wall street on the theory that the Near East situation was not as fla yorable as heretofore.
 The local sentiment here is trifle bear ish on the theory that the market will bs held in check by continued selling from the south and until such time as the Euro : pean situation clears. One must not lose sight of the fact, however, that the crop has not improved since the last govern ment report and we are of the opinion that the government report to be issued on October 1 will show further deteriora- l. tion of the crop, Undoubtedly. The hedge selling will hold the market in check tenn porarily.
 However, there Is an extremely good un- dertone caused by mill buying that Is be- coming more evident every day and on every decline there is always good de- man for large blocks of cotton at limited prices.--Hub ubbard Bros. & Co.

 A. I don't know just what mix ture could be referred to but the one here given has proven very effee- tive, especially to prevent the en- trance of borers: Corrosine sublimata. one ounce; soft soap as made in the country. 10 gallons wood alcohol one pint; water enough to make a stiff paint. so that it can be spread. Dissolve the corrosive sublimate in the wood alcohol and add to soap and water. This mixture is applied to the base and roots near the surface during winter and early spring. It is necessary to pull back the earth from base and the surface roots so the material can be applied.

Prfvet Troubles
 Both the California and Amur River privets are comparatively free from fungus diseases, but there is blight that sometimes appears and IS often associated with the privet web-worm. Both of these troubles have been re- ported in the Birmingham districts and have been the subject of inquir- ies to The Age Herald. The priyet web-worm is really serious pest, and in as much as there are three or four broods in a season, the last one, now present and the most damaging, should be destroyed if plants are to be immune another year. This worm is the product of small white moth and generally appears in the spring to deposit eggs on the underside of the leaves. The eggs hatch quickly, but the first brood may do such little damage as not to be noticeable, but succeeding broods become more num- erous, until finally. they may web up the entire plant and kill it outright. When the trouble is first observed and before it becomes bad. the arsenic sprays, such as arsenate of lead. are very effective. After the trouble becomes intensified and if there appears to be blight or discolor- ing of foliage associated with the caterpillars, the following formula should be used as spray. Kerosene emulsion reduced with water about 15 times. to each gallon of which add tablespoonful arsenate of lead and one ounce of dry Bordeaux mixture. Thorough spraying Is necessary and If any signs of trouble exist after a week or 10 days, repeat treatment. One thorough spraying is generally all that's needed.
