Uncertainty Over the Near

Trend to Market.

NEW YORK. September 26.-Before
the opening this morning many of the
private wire houses sent out dis
patches that were not at all encourag-
ing to the continuation of the ad-
vance.
Commission houses generally called
attention to the delicacy Of the situ-
alton around Constantinople. where
an outbreak might lead to the most
serious consequences and start some
thing the end Of which no man can
foretell.
Naturally. speculative traders, who
have ignored profits for months past
and permitted the accumulation. be-
gan to cash in, and the selling ac-
credited to this source was accentu-
ated by selling of the bear element.
and declines increased the pressure
from this source.
The Early Losses.
Gulf States Steel was pushed back
2la points. Crucible Steel lost 2 points
and losses of point to fractions ad-
ditional were sustained in American
Ice, American Woolen, Rtail Stores.
Union Pacific. Chandler. Asphalt and
Mexican Pete.
Seven specialties. which have been
taken up by the bulls from time to

STRIKE PARLEY REFUSED.
B., F. & P. officials Declare Places
of Men Who Quit Are Filled.

Special Dispatch to The star.
RICHMOND. Va. September 20
Defamation of the officers Of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad to have any dealings
with the officers of the shopmen's
union has been followed by a 3etter
in which the statement Is made that
such a conference would be useless.
that the road has employed men to
take the places of the strikers and il
intends to stand by them in every
way. The further reason is assigned
that to deal with the union would be
to cause unrest with the imported
men, However, the men are told that
if they desire to apply individually
for positions their applications will
be given due consideration.
Yesterday about 800 of the old men
on the Chesapeake and Ohio here re-
turned to their old places, and the
rest of the men who went on strike
will be reinstated In a day or two.
There were a few of the old men
who went to work before the end
was declared. and these men are to be
taken care of by the company in
their present positions. When the
settlement became known many of
the men who had come here to aid
in breaking the strike asked for their
time and transportation and were ac-
commodated.'

GENERAL TREND
ON CURB |SLOWER
BY WILLIAM F.. HEFFERNAN.

BY Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 26.-Stand-
ard OIL of New York and Vacuum Oil
were the features of the trading on
the curb exchange today, The former
twenty points, and the latter got up
eight points to its high for the year.
Realizing sales brought about
further recessions in other sections Of
the list. The volume of business was
smaller than in some time, due to the
fact that several active leaders have
been transferred to the stock ex-
change within the past few days.
Standard of Indiana lost ground and
the advance in Standard OIL of Kan
sas was also checked. Ohio Oil, on
the other hand. gained slightly.
International Petroleum and Anglo
American Oil were quiet and firm
while others of this group were prac-
tically neglected.
Heavy Elsewhere.
Cities Service issues shared frac-
tionally in the general decline. The
company plans to cut its funded debt
$10.000.000 by the redemption Of its
gold debentures. The $3,000,0 900 series
B of this issue have already been
called.
Heavy realizing in Gulf Oil brought
about materially lower prices, while
the demand for Mutual Oil slackened
somewhat. but these shares held firm
at their recent high. New England
Fuel Oil went somewhat higher on
the declaration of the regular quar-
terly dividend of per cent Carib
Syndicate. Maracaibo and Southern
States OIL were lower.
Schultz Stores Weak.
The feature of the miscellaneous
section was further sharp decline in
Schultz Retail Stores. 1t had been
expected that some announcement
would be made yesterday Of the con-
solidation of this company with the
Whelar- Duke interests and when this
did not materialize today the shares
lost more of their gain of last week
Department store issues We're less
active and lower. but declines We're
confined to small fractions The
declaration of the regular dividend Of
l.. per cent on Macy preferred was
announced. Sheffield Farms Company
first mortgage 6la per cent bonds of
1912 were admitted to the curb trad
ing.
These bonds were dealt in between
pa" and quarter and par ard half
Motor shares were quiet. with the
exception of StutZ. which fiuctuated
within range of a point from its
previous close. Durant common con-
tinued to decline. while the Packard
Motors preferred also was lower.

CHICAGO, September 26.-Renewed
anxiety as to warlike developments at
the Dardanelles gave the wheat mar
ket new upturn today in the early
dealings. Some traders were disposed
of sailors on the great lakes as being
a bullish influence. 1t was contended
that an immediate effect of the strike
would be TO delay the movement of
the Canadian crop and to increase
demand for wheat at the Gulf of
ports. The open ming, which varied from
N to IL higher with December LOB
to 1.05k and May 1.0s. was followed
by continued firmness within the in

PROPER SELECTION OF
80 SEED Is. BEST START

The season of the seed catuloy has
arrived once more, says a. T.. Yearger
iloftlcilturiSt at the North Dakota
agricultural station, and TO many
there is nothing more fascinating thar
the perusal of Il seed catalog on cold
winter evening
While most seed catalogS are not SO
much like fairy tales as they once
were there are still some seed houses
which specialize in novelties to the
neglect Of the tried and true. 1t is
best for the seed buyer to hesitate
about buying seeds from Il seed house
which makes too great claims.
1t will be best for North Dakotans
to pick seeds from northern seed
house not because the same variety
of any vegetable would not do equally
well if purchased from /; southern
house, but because northern seed
houses are more apt to list only var.
ietieS which succeed in the north,
thus making the selecting Of varieties
from them safer w z
. For North Dakota conditions the
Importance, especially with certain
crops. At the experiment station
many standard and new varieties
which succeed well elsewhere and
which are highly recommended in
most seed catalogs will not produce
satisfactorily there Mr.. Yeager says.
The improper selection Of varieties
may therefor make the difference be-
tween great success with any par
fcular crop and little or no success.
If any gardener wishes to do so he
may send u list containing his selec.
ton Of varieties to the horticultural
department of the agricultural college
where it will he looked over and sug;
gested changes made free of charge.
For illustrations the standard height
of Kitchen work table is 80 inches
from the floor and of a kitchen sink,
so inches a the rim which makes the
bottom of the sink "a inches above the
floor. There is no need for the house
wife to have to stoop unduly while
washing dishes or preparing a meal II
she is taller than usual nor should she
be compelled to use Il stool if she Is
below the average in height.
If she will caution those concerned
as to the height of the table Or sink
which is most convenient for her these
[tlifficulties may beSnvercome.
