STOCK LIST CRACKS.
UNDER BEAR RAID
Selling Concentrated on
Motors, but SteeIs, Recent
Favorites and Rails Sag.
BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
/ NEW YORK, October 20.-Afte
a forenoon of indecisive tluctuation
the stock market broke sharply in tn
early afternoon. Selling was concer
trated on the motor shares, as wa
the case yesterday, but the steels, tn
recently favored industrials and som
of the rails also were affected. Ger
eral Electric, General Railway Signal
| New York Central and Union Paciti
all gave way.
| Probably the ma jority of profes
sional traders were beariSh. The
had seen the market go down S
| fast and 50 far yesterday agains
the optimistic statement from Wash
| ington as to the business outlook an,
against the continued abundance o
money for speculative purposes am
| they had been waiting for the big re
action so long that they were con
| vinced it was now at hand and wer
ready to act on that conviction.
Bullish Happenings.
Still there were happenings to mak'
even the most beariSh operator pause
For one thing call money today re
newed at 312 per cent, which wa:
the lowest renewal rate since Sep
tember 16 There was a good deal o.
perpleXity over this dropping Of The
rate and it was even suggested thai
there was something artificial abou
it. Nevertheless it was a fact to be
reckoned with. Then traders had seer
outstanding points of strength in al
the recent reaction, including today.
Certain stocks were able to make
new highs" while the rest of the
market was going down. Finally the
selling, and this was particularly true
of today. was in comparatively small
lots. Whatever liquidation was going
on was not coming ar at least so il
seemed, from important sources.
So it came about that the industrial
leaders fluctuated with great uncer
tainty. After two hours of backing
and filling Steel and General Motors
were selling exactly where they left
off on the night before. General Elec-
trio showed itself more sensitive tc
pressure, but it's decline up to this
time was not large. Woolworth weak.
ened with General Electric, and again
without any significance On the other
hand International Harvester was
higher, and some of the tobacco
stocks, notable American Tobacco
were very strong
Specialties Bid Up Boldly.
Specialties were bid up boldly with
out regard to the fate Of the rest OF
the list. Philadelphia Co. added to its
11-point jump on the day before, max
ing another new high for all time. In
ternational Silver advanced Z points
on a small turnover. Stocks which
had been strong during all the weak
ness yesterday were strong again to
day. They included Greene Cananea
and some of the lower-priced rails.
The motor shares showed the least
ability to rally when the market was
recovering and the greatest weakness
when it was under pressure. The
Dodge Bros. shares sold around their
extreme lows. Nash, Hudson, Mack
Trucks and Willys-Overland all SOLD
off easily. The specter of Ford com
petition was still terrifying.

This is a relatively simple prac'

Such practices are actually carries

ceptible to disease at the root crown.
Hence Northern Spy or some equally
vigorous variety is frequently used as
trunk for this variety. The Beurre

He stated that lilies are not

simply mean the death of most kinds
of lilies The bulbs are usually
planted very deeply except those of
a few forms which root only at the

stem above the bulb. For example.
large bulbs of the speciosum dubrum
lily may be planted l foot deep in
well spaded soil. The bulb itself

an excellent soil cover for lilies,

best is inclined to injure some of
the roots.
Many plants, including species OF
Achillea. campanula, drawf anchusa,

excellent plants to grow in the lily

Strawberries.

StTdWBeTTIeS.
No fruit is more deserving of a place
in the home garden Large possible
returns from a small area and short
tenure Of the land as compared with
tree and bush fruits make the straw
berry an ideal home garden fruit. Fur
thermore, the plant is not difficult to
grow, thriving upon any well drained
ana fertile soil, whether light OF
heavy.
The soil should be thoroughly pre-
pared as for any titled crop. Prefer
ably do not use sod land until after ii
has been cultivated a growing season
as the white grubs found so abundant
ly in sod are very fond of strawberry
roots. Late March and early April is
the ideal time of the year to establish
new berry beds. Plants may he Sc.
cured from strawberry nurseries,
many Of which are located in nearby
territory. or from some neighbor's bed,
# he has good varieties.
Strawberries have perfect and inn
perfect flowers, according to varieties.
Perfect Powered varieties can set fruit
by themselves, but imperfect lowered
varieties must be planted neighboring
10 perfect, If any fruit is expected.
Plants are usually set In rows, Is
inches apart in the row and to 4 feet
between rows. During the Summer
and Autumn the plants viii send out
runners, which. under favorable con-
ditions, Will provide an abundance of
new plants to make solid beds. In
planting, the root crown should be
level with the surface. Flower stalks
should be remved the season of plant
ing, so as to give the plants oppor.
tunity to get established. Careful till
ing and wedding are essential during
the growing season. This is doubly
important as the flower buds for the
succeeding crop are laid down during
the Autumn.
Among Spring bearing varieties the
Howard II or Premier is one of the
very best, and where only one kind is
grown Is surpassed by none. Other
good kinds include Candy, Chesapeake,
Dunlap and Big Joe.
Care of Shrubs.
Old shrubs are inclined to become
ungainly and unsightly. The lower
part Of the stems gradually become
devoid of foliage and the flowers are
borne at the tip ends of the branches
Frequently it would be better to re-
move the old plants altogether and
put in young vigorous stock.
Good care will do much to prevent
shrubs reaching an unsightly state.
A combination Of pruning, fertilizing
and tillage will keep the plan in
thrifty young wood. Observation will
show that most shrubs have a tend
ency to send up some young shoots
from the roots each year. These should
be encouraged and each year after
Towering one or two of the old trunks
removed to give the young a chance.
furthermore, much can be done TO
keep the plant vigorous by re NOV
ing the old Towering wood after
blooming. In many instances shrubs
are forced into long upright growth
by being crowded. In such cases it is
better to sacrifice a few of the crowd
ing plants rather than attempt to
keep the whole planting in check by
drastic pruning. Most every one
makes the mistake of planting too
many shrubs in given area, for it
is very difficult TO visualize before

Dempsey SAarkey Fight
Picture Shows Here
Before Large Crowd

The Dempsey -Sharkey fight pic
ture was shown here last night and
drew packed house Of enthusiastic
fight fans. Quite few women were
sprinkled throughout the audience
which goes to show that men alone
are not the only adherents to the
sport Of fistiana.
The picture was clear and gave an
excellent view Of the seven rounds
The seventh round, showing the
knockout was produced in slow mo-
biography and depicted clearly Dem
.psey's savage attack on iSharkey' s
stomach, later landing an uppercut
to the jaw that raised Sharkey off
his feet. It is hard to say whether
or not the much discussed foul was
responsible for the outcome Of the
fight as the position Of the fighters
and the camera made 1t impossible
to see the inside blows at the tirne
Of the alleged foul.
