IRREGULAR
Heavy Selling of Speculative
Shares Causes Fractional
Losses in Early Trading
BY International News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Irregular
price movements in the early trad
ing today followed the heavy selling
of speculative stocks in another
profit taking movement which Elk.
tended quite generally throughout
the list. Opening prices of the ac-
tive industrial and speciality stocks
were higher, but stocks were sup
piled freely at these levels, and
fractional losses were recorded in
active oil, railroad and Industrial
shares in the fist period.
Some stocks were strong enough
to move against the trend. These
included the mercantile stocks, with
Schultz leading, the radio stocks, in
Guiding radio corporation and Bosch
Magnetic, Shell Union, and the Pan
American oils, also transcontinental
and Sinclair.
Announcement that the opera
tons of the United States Stesl
Company had reached 80 per cent
of capacity, considered In connec-
ton with the increase of 784 900
tons in untitled orders reported on
Saturday, was emphatic evidence Of
the rapid pace of the comeback in
national industry since the spring
of 1924, when forward orders were
their lowest since the war. These
reports furnished an excellent back
ground for profit taking by traders
who have accumulated good vol
ume of paper profits, but it also
was encouraging to those who were
buying stocks at present price
levels. United States Steel, sold
mostly at fractionally lower prices
than Tuesdays closing level, but
there was a brisk demand for the
stock around 124. Republic Steel
dropped points at the opening,
but recovered most OF this in the
first period.
Excellent buying Of the oil stocks
prevented any extended decline in
prices of active oil shares. Mar
land, Cosden and other stocks in
this group which in recent sessions
moved up from two to six points
into price levels they have not &C.
cupied for nearly a year withstood
an avalanche Of selling with only
fractional price declines.
The market was active in the
early trading, with sales Of 470,10O
shares in the first hour. Call money
renewed at 3 per cent; time money
was slightly firmer after early ir-
regularity; sterling exchange firmed
up to 4.77as for demand, a gain Of
1h cents above Tuesdays close.
Grain and cotton markets were
slightly reactionary. s~

Chicago Livestock

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Strong to 10
cents higher was the condition OF
the hog market compared with
Tuesdays average. Choice heavy
hogs sold at $11.25 early in the day
but some prime heavies were held
for higher figures. The supply was
81 900, including, 318 hogs direct TO
packers.
Good fat steers sold strong to rs
cents higher and the other grades
were steady to strong. The supply
was 5000 less than week ago.
Cows and heifers sold stronger and
the bull trade was a little better.
Calves sold Is cents higher Feeders
were steady to strong. Lambs were
quoted % cents higher because of
very light receipts.

Animal Curiosities.

ENGULFED in the mud and slime
II on the flats southwest of Phila-
deIphia. with the tide coming In, a
200 pound chestnut gelding had
thrilling race with death until it was
finally pulled from it's perilous posi-
tion by Louis Liberty. an ambulance
driver for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. Il
never saw an animal show such in
telligent understanding OF what we
were trying 10 do" said the ambu-
lance man. When we began 10
work it stopped struggling and kept
perfectly still. as IL to help US all IL
could, watching us all the time.
Two big bull moose held UP d rail
road train near Cnionville. Me. The
animals refused to be moved off the
track by the persistent blowing OF
the whistle .snd the thunder OF the
approaching train. facing the loco
motive unfinchingly. AS it became
apparent that the moose would not
bulge, the train was stopped. After
an interval the train again started
and the animals grudgingly gave
way TO the extent Of moving off the
track. but they considered the honors
OF the encounter theirs. for they
chased the train for some distance.
1t is long trek from Reading, Vt,
to the Chicopee lookup. but one lone
hound made the distance of more
than $50 miles. With his ribs stand
ing out in strong relief and mud be-
spattered, he whined at the entrance
to the office of Capt. Connor. On his
collar was the address of A. Allen of
Reading. VT, and the captain notified
by telephone the police OF that place
that they had a visitor who would be
very glad to get home if some one

day when George that's my husband.
stayed home from business with
bad cold
OF course l had seen it coming on

pretty near soaked me with the sock

IL and says aw leave me alone,
can'tcha. I'm all right, in that typi-

viii at once recognize what / mean.
And then a coupla days later he

I'll call them up and tell 'em | amt

SO | says. no dear you stay right
where you are. I'll call the office.
SO he says no such thing ]. am per-
tectly able to, only my throat hurts
won't be waited on. So I called up
the office and told them where
George had a slight cold and would
be in tomorrow.
And then l says now let me see
have you any temperature dear. and
he says aw leave me alone, can'tcha,
all I want is To be let alone. I'm
sick man. SO | took his temperature
and he had y Of degree with 33l3

says aw leave my throat alone, l
don't need anybody annoying my
throat. And so ! got a spoon and
looked at ii and it was a little red
but nothing to write home to his
folks about, yet.
So | fixed up some extra pillows
around him on the sofa and says how
about a hot water bottle dear? And
ne says I don't want the dam thing
so Egot him one, and he says I guess

says don't YOU dare to do no such

me. he says. 7 can die just as good
without him.
Well. I left Geo. have his own way
about that on account | knew per

But Hot Bozo! While he wouldn't
