Street Features
sTUDRBAKER.
By STUART p. WET
tCoypnkht. la2z.l

The first approach to an old
fashioned shake-out in the present
market was staged today in studs-
baker. At 119A, where it sold soon
after the opening, this stock was up
10 points within a week and six
points from the Saturday closing.
Naturally, SO wild rise made for
. weakened market position. The
people who have been playing
Studebaker are not small folk.
Tney have been large traders who
bought considerably lower down
and have been pyramiding on the
handsome profits that were rolling
up The pyramiding scheme al
ways calls for protective stop
orders, these orders being placed
SO as to follow the market. The
old phrase, "honey-combed with
stops, undoubtedly applied to the
market for Studebaker as il started
this morning. Suddenly half wav
through the forenoon there came q
rush Of profit taking, and these
stop orders began to be caught. The
eHect was that for a few minutes
StudeDaker tumbled like a house
or cards. 1t only took a quarter of
an hour for the stock to lose Ave
points and the jar was felt through
out the entire list.
DAWSON CHEMICAL.
Dawson Chemical had a sharp
advance in the first hour of trading
when 1t became uennilely
that facts regarding the success Of
the siiica-gel process would be
made public this week. This ad-
vance was credited to heavy buying
orders from banking interests con-
nected with the company and the
word was sent out that the an
nouncement to be made would put
an end for all time as to whether
the new process was a success or
not. 1t was further said that the
announcement would contain news
regarding contracts already made
Tor the use of Silica Gel by one Of
the Standard Oil group.
ZINC.
Word was received in the finan-
cial district that bill putting a
cent tariff on Zinc would be re-
ported in congress this week. This
tariff will prevent foreign produc-
ers from underselling the Ameri-
can producer in the domestic mar
ket and means further that Zinc
production on a large scale will be
resumed much earlier than ex-
pected.

WOOL.

Boston, April 4.-The wool mar
ket today reflected the indecision
and curtailment of the wooden
goods manufacturers. Prices were
softer and while the quotations
were not materially altered, reports
were common of concessions at
second hands. Holders of wool
seem to have lost some of their
assurance and growers in the west
seem a little less firm on asking
prices. 1t is rumored here that
some of the Utah growers would
be glad for a renewal Of bids which
were previously turned down as
too low.

Sheepmen Hopeful
Of Better Prices for
L a m BIS This Fall

Chicago. Sept. 26.-lt appears
that a higher price for lambs will
prevail this fall and there Is MAD
scramble TO get back into the b.
ness. according 10 survey OF the
National Institute of Progressive
Farming, which declares that the
sheen Industry will be entirely re-
covered from the recent near col
lapse within five years.
'sHow close the sheep industry IN
this country came 20 annlhilation
during the initiation period Is not
realized by the general public, stat
al the survey. ut was all but
wiped out. Imported rams were
butchered and sold as meat owing
10 the collapse Of the market.
There Is rush to stock up now
and the market has returned to a
notable level, the survey states, ana
herds which almost disappeared are
being revived.
The supply Of breeding stock,
sheen association officials say, is the
lowest in twenty years and the de-
mand for such stock on the Pacific
coast is the greatest seen IN double
that time. Texas, Idaho, Wyoming
and Montana also report a large de-
mand
'In the corn belt where the maize
crops can be fed 20 three dollar
mutton. the problem is 20 find the
lambs" declared the survey
"Sheep men are in the habit OF
virtually ceasing business when the
wool market is against them, and
then slowly turning back when the
tide turns. While the United States
cannot compete in the wool markets
OF the world with Argentine and
Australia, yet il is nnthinkable that
the whole agricultural system should
be thrown out of the balance by
wool alone.
