STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 25-The general and popular tendency Is to blame the professional element for a declining market. Short selling, of course, plays a part every day, but the recent decline in the stock market does not appear to us to be the result of any bearish pres sure. What short selling occurred was probably incidental and to some extent aided in the decline. It appears to us that profit-taking was on a large enough scale to check the advance. There is, of course, no means of know ing in advance the quantity of stocks to be sold, but there can be little doubt but that the greater part of the selling was of this character; and, as values began to recede, liquidation became a little more general.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Rallying ten dencies characterized the general list during the last half hour of today's market session, following a renewal of constructive operations on the upward side of the market in the rail group. Norfolk and Western was the leader among the high-priced carriers, re- bounding about points from its early morning low figure of 123A. New Haven, which was under considerable pressure most of the day, also rallied 1%. to 24h. This better action in the rails gave encouragement to the industrials and many of them came back brislkly toward the close. General Electric re- covered practically Il points from its recent low, while United States Steel rallied over a point, to 108. News de- velopments consisted principally of an increase in the cash dividend payments by North American company from Soc to Soc per quarter on the common, a statement Of earnings by Chandler showing S3.OS a share earned on the

section foreman, cost Clowers his
life the other day in st. John. Kan
sas, and was a real life rendition OF
similar incidents often staged in the
movies as "thrillers."
,Clowers and Roberts, working
several yards away from the re-
stored section gang, had momentar-
lily. stopped their work, and were en-
gaged in conversation, when from
behind a curve. hidden by long
freight train, No. 81, swept down
upon them.
Neither Clowers nor Roberts had
heard the approaching train, and the
other workmen. farther down the
track, thinking they had seen it. did
not call to them.
Sighting the locomotive when It
was but few yards away, Clowers
turned to his companion who did not
realize his danger.
Selling Roberts by the coat collar,
Clowers with a mighty surge threw
him from the tracks, but as Clowers,
himself, leaped in an attempt to es-
cape, the engine pilot struck him on
the side of the head and he died
almost instantly. Roberts was not
hurt.
