STOCK MARKET
 POINTS HIGHER;
 ISSUES SCARCE
Selling Pressure Lifts After Failure To Bring
 Out Longs

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Rallying tend encies characterized today's market. Selling pressure was applied soon after the opeaing against some of the grang- CTS and a few industrial specialties, but 1t failed to bring out much long stock and eventually was lifted with the result that prices moved irregularly higher.
 The scarcity in the floating supply of popular stocks at current price levels tion that stocks were in strong hands after the recent sharp reaction. Omis- sion of the Eaton Axle and Spring divi- dend was the only adverse news and was offset by an easing of time money rates and higher commodity prices.
 Trading in United States Steel com mon was unusually light, although the price of the day. Baldwin, American Can, DuPont, General Electric, Allis Chalmers, Allied Chemical, Davison Chemical, Mack Truck, National Lead, Tobacco Products and Union Tank Car showed net gains of to 2h points.
 Oils again appeared to be under ac- emulation, net gains of a point or more being scored by Marland. Hous- ton, General Asphalt, Mexican Seaboard and Atlantic Refining. Buying of these issues was based on reports or TUT ther curtailment of production in some of the principal mid-continent and west ern fields.
 Active selling of Great Northern pre- ferred, which broke 3A points to 60h, undoubtedly reflected speculative dis appointment over the semi-annual earn ings, but good buying support was pro vided and the stock rallied to 62A.
 Another attempt to depress the St. Paul issues failed to make much head way, the net losses being limited to small fractions. Northern Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern lost 1A to 1% points, respectively. Southern Rail- way common, the regular dividend on which was declared today, closed point higher.
 Schulte Stores was in brisk demand. closing at a net gain of more than points. General Baking jumped TX to 130 and International Telephone closed nearly points higher at S3M.
 Call money was unchanged at per cent, Time money rates showed an easier tone, but business was quiet Commercials paper held steady.
 Foreign exchange rates pointed up ward with some short covering reported as a result of the extension of the Mor- gan S1OO, ,OOO, ,OO0 credit to the Bank of France. Demand sterling ruled about a cent higher around $4.44& and French francs were active around Is cents.

According to Law.

The kidnapping charge against Edgar
McEarchern, the young Webster coun-
ty Lochinvar who eloped with Miss

ried in Webster county by Justice

ed, and that the bride is OF legal age

Gull POULTRY Now and
Increase the Production
Not Difficult Problem, Says Expert
Other Good Advice

October is the month to Gull out the
understood, runty pullets, according
to poultry specialists of the State Col
lege of Agriculture. Eggs from scrub
pu1lets are as rare as the proverbial
golden eggs from geese, they say, and
to keep the production record up the
weak ones must be culled from the
flock
Culling is not the difficult problem
that some seem to think it is, and any
one with common knowledge of flock
management can tell the scrubs and
runts from the we'll developed pros
pective layers, it is pointed out. Get
the slow maturing, weak looking pull
lets and market them and the job is
done
For the birds to be kept dry, we'll
ventilated, clean, sanitary house with
an allowance of three and one-half
square feet per bird should be provid-
ed. If possible the pullets should be
separated by pens according to de-
velopment, with those laying or about
to lay in one pen, and those needing
a little forcing in another, Pullets and
hens should not be placed together
when separate pens are possible.
In order ito get maximum produc-
ton in Georgia during the winter
months pullets should be brought to
laying during October and November.
This timing of production can be APP
proximated by the feeds and methods
of feeding, provided the chicks were
Matched at the proper time.
A close watch should be kept for
signs of worms, tuberculosis and colds.
A good way to treat a cold is to stick
the birds head in kerosene. 1t won't
hurt the chicken and will kill the cold.
