WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Wall street-Prices were frmer at the opening of today's stock market. Demand was most effective ir the equipment and steel shares. Baldwin rising l # points, American Locomo- tive and Crucible and II. g. Steel fractionally, .n improved tone also was note m the antomotive stocks, Railsesycre mixed. Delaware and Hud- son. St. Paul and Chicago and North wtste'n opening higher and Southern Hallway and Missouri Pacific losing ground,
 Heavier rising and short selling of some of the speculative favorites at the higher levels and the competition of new buying at other points caused highly irregular movement of prices during the morning. Equipments shares showed the most consistent strength. Automotive issues also sold substantially higher, but this group yielded somewhat in sympathy with the violent drop in Stewart Warner and Stromberg. Stewart Warner fell from 121 10 113 and Stromberg con 'erted an early gain of points into a loss of 3 1-2. United Railway in-
  vestment preferred broke five points. United State Realty and California Petroleum common and preferred, General Electric, Adams Express and American Tobacco B 10 to 1-2. Among the most conspicuous advances were Bosch Magneto 6 3-4, Pressed Steel Car 1-2 and Porto Rican Tobacco six. Call money opened at per cent.
 Speculative selling carried the market down sharply in the early af- ternoon. Railroads were freely offer- ed, also the independent steels, foods, | coppers, oil, and American Can shares. Subsequent accumulation of allied Chemical, General Asphalt, Standard Oil of California, and Phillips Pe- troleum, arrested the decline, and prices began to- move upward again in hesitating fashion.

The life of elephants and other wild animals In the jungies of India was viyidly described by Captain II. r. Haynes of Hartford at the regular meeting of the New Britain Lions club held at the Elks club on Wash ington street at 1915 o'clock today. Captain Haynes was hunter in the Indian jnngles for & period of 80 years and related some of his experi- ences for the members of the club.
 The captain stated that it was non- sense for the people of civilized coun- tries to believe that there is no lovo among the animals Of such far- away country. He said that their entire life is founded on the one prin- ciple of love.
 In explaining the life of an ee- phant the captain stated that they pair off in what is called herds and each herd has one leader. Accord ing to the speaker nothing can be done with the elephants in a herd until the leader is killed as he is the supreme ruler and of whom all na- tives and white hunters are afraid.
 The speaker also referred to the natives of the country and said that people residing in civilized countries become narrow and do not broaden out until they start to travel. In Africa, he stated a white man is often times anxious and willing to shake hands with negro whereas in the majority of civilized countries they try to avoid them.
 He emphasized the fact that in Africa they are the best friends of the white man. He further stated that England does not rule India and the various, territories in Africa The judges in the various territories are natives, the police are natives and most of the ruling officials of the town are natives
 James F. O'Brien, secretary of the club, William Goldthwait and Dr. J. H. Potts reported on the meeting of several Lions clubs held in Hartford yesterday.
