FINANCIAL
NEWS
MARKET
STILL NERVOUS

New York, July co. R The
stock market displayed a complete
reversal of form today. selling off
sharply at the opening and then
rallying briskly. Early heaviness
undoubtedly was due to speculative
disappointment over the relatively
small decrease of $4S,OO0,OOC in
brokers' loai.s. but the marking
down of the call money renewal rate
to per cent, the lowest since May l.,
revived bullish enthusiasm.
Wall street apparently, was
pleased at the sharp decrease in fed
eral reserve rediscounts in the New
York district. Importation Of
81 100000 in Canadian gold was
more than offset by the withdrawal
Of $14,O00,QO0 in earmarked gold for
shipment to France. Fears of a
stiffeninR Of money rates later in the
month still persist, and have a re-
strictive effect on trading.
Mercantile and mail order issues
again attracted special buying on
reports of large current business.

GARY, Ind, Nov. 20.-Walter Nc
Colly, so, Lake county farmer, was
shot and killed and bessie Kanable,
A., Chicago, seriously wounded in
an argument over hunting without
permission near here. Walter Nc
Colly, 80, the dead mans son, and
Hiram McDaniels, 81, Indiana Har-
Dor, Kanable's hunting companion,
witnessed the shooting.
McDaniels said he and Kanable
had been ordered from the farm
by another man whose name was
not learned, and were preparing to
leave when McColly and his son
approached them with guns. The
McCollyS demanded to know what
game the hunters had bagged.
In the course of the conversation,
the elder McColly grabbed McDan-
iel'S gun, saying You'll do no more
shooting around here today" Then
he attempted to take Karable's
gun and a scuffle followed, in which
MeColly was pushed to the ground.
Regaining his feet, he fired point
blank into Kanable's stomach, &C
cording to Mcdaniel.
Mcdaniel said that as Kanable
fell he fired both barrels Of his
shotgun, nearly seyering the head
of the farmer. The younger Nc
Colly fled. Mcdaniel was taken to
a Gary hospital, where his condi-
ton is said to be serious.

By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. sO.-Albert
Payson Terhune, noted author,
whose spacious kennels at Sunny
bank, N. j., are as famous among
dog lovers as his stories of dogs
themselves, has refused to sell his
puppies for Christmas gifts, on the
ground that he would be abetting
cruelty to animals.
For the same reason, Terhune
will not sell one of his collies to a
purchaser who lives in city apart
ment.
ut would be more merciful, often,
to shoot Them" he declares, explain
ing his position in an article pub
lished in the current issue of The
American Home.
In two of three cases where a
puppy is presented as a Christmas
gift, the recipient either doesn't
care sincerely for the dog, except
perhaps as a passing fancy, or can
not provide it with suitable quar-
tiers and opportunity for exercise
he explains, adding that next to
an unwanted child, an unwanted
Christmas dog is the most pitiful
of helpless creatures"
Terhune reveals that last year he
turned down ninety offers from per-
sons willing to pay high prices for
his puppies to be used as Yule
gifts.
