The Stability Of Danying
By Geo. B. cains, Pref 4 Daiyns u A c


The past two years have afforded
splendid opportunity for the farmers
OF tue country TO see what phases OF
production are the most profitable and
substantial When enc stops 20 con-
slider the demand and price OF all ths
farm yields the Dairy Cow and her
products stand far above them ali.
One OF the Hat examples OF the sta
bility OF dairy farming was shown In
the Salt River valley In Arizona. The
war made such demand on cottcn
crops that the people Of tho valley who
already had slfalfs fields and proauc-
cd cotton With the end Of the war
oAms the end OF the high prices fos
this crop. The people have the cotton
on thsir hands and In most cssss are
unable to pay the cost Of producing
the crop. As q result OF this coalition

community arc giving financial sup-

Shipping Board, has resigned, II was
learned today.
Schlesinger will become a member
OF the law firm of Stanchfisld &

controversy over whether United

AS general counsel for the Ship.

Shipping Board vessels had the
right to dispense liquor outside the
three.mile limit, and they have since
been doing so. Recently the matter
was put up to Attorney General
Daugherty for an opinion. II was
rumored that Schlesinger's resigna.

RAIL. SHARES
DECLINE UNDER
HARD PRESSURE
Steel Shares Also Drop, but
Speciality Stocks Advance
In Early Trading.
BY w. 8. COUSINS.

(Copyright, ls22, by Cosmopolitan News
Service.)
NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-Except for
the remarkable strength displayed
by a small number Of speculative
specialties, the stock market was
devoid Of interest in the early trad.
ing today, and the general list sold
off under fairly heavy liquidation,
embracing chiefly the railroad and
independent steel stocks.
As a rule the weekend develop
ments were hardly conducive TO a
bullish movement in the stock
market, one of the most prominent
Industrial plants in the country
threatening to quit on September 16
because of a fuel famine. On the
other hand normal production Of
steel within a month was predicted
in the steel district, following the re-
opening of coal mines owned by the
steel interests. The steel plants
took on more men today, with the
assurances of steady supplies Of coal
and coke. One Of the effects Of the
Ford statement was to call attention
to the excess of orders over current
production, serving as a basis for
bigger business In the fall months.
Specially stocks which held the at.
tention. of the market because CT
their. strength and activity IN the
first two hours were American To-
bacco, UP 8 cents to a new high at
160; Consolidated Gas at a new high
at 140%; Corn Products at 1l7h;
Laclede Gas at 94h. Loose Wiles
Biscuit added about points to its
recent rise, and sold up to SIN. Re-
tail Stores was also prominently in
the limelight, and Eastman Kodak
topped all its previous price records
by selling above 81. General Asphalt
forged ahead to 6Sk.
Elsewhere the speculative list was
inclined to be moderately reaction
ary, suggesting lack Of buying power
rather than either general hquida-
ton by long traders or bearish opera
tions by the shorts. Railroad stocks
with few exceptions sold at 'ower
points to 56%; Great Northern pre-
ferred to 92h; st. Paul, rs to 33H ;
Northern Pacific, to S7h; New
Haven to 31k; New York Central to
s7h: Chesapeake & Ohio at rs; Pere
Marquette at 3SA. Western Mary
land, on the other hand. continued
the advance which featured its mar
ket course during the past week.
An attack on the motor stock re-
suited In q temporary setback of
about two points In Studebaker and
Chandler, following which prices ad-
vanced to about the opening levels.
Steel stocks showed stronger resist.
ance TO selling pressure than either
the raiisAor industriafs, though pre-
vailing price were slightly under the
level of Saturdays close. Shipping
stocks did better, Marine preferred
selling above SO, and American Inter
national at 34h. Atlantic Gulf was
weak and sold down 10 z9S. St.
Paul was under liquidation near the
noon hour, selling down nearly two
points to 38h. Mexican oil stocks
were firm on a small volume OF
transactions. Mexican Petroleum ad-
vanced lA TO 1881.
