STOCKS SUPPORTED

BY STANLEY w. PRENOSTL.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Powerful
support was thrown into the stock mar.
ket today, and prices developed consid-
cradle stability. despite an enormous
volume of trading, again severely tax
ing the trading capacity, and delaying
the. ticker more than an hour. Trading,
however, failed to approximate the fer
yid pace of yesterdays near-panic con-
ditiOns, which resulted in the stagger-
ing record volume of nearly 10000 900
shares.
The market opened calmly. and
moved substantially higher. but con-
siderable selling pressure appeared be-
fore midday Huge buying orders were
thrown into the market and the decline
was checked early after noon, when a
few leading shares had sold off l TO

Reassurances from leading bankers

ported in Wall Street, although off,

result of the bankers conferences a
pool of more than $1,000, 10000 had
been formed to support the market. and
that at midday 1t had been found
necessary TO use but small fraction
of that sum. Highly optimistic state

issue as Toronto voted on its eighteenth

In its stead, the Progressives de-

Liberals declared for plebiscite when

act was proceeding satisfactorily and
that a longer period was necessary to
give 1t fair trial.
He pointed out that his government

got to their feet, stretched, yawned
and started on, Reddy in the lead.
BY and by they crossed some open
fields. They we're making straight to-
wards some farm buildings that Hooty
could see. From his position up in the
air, of course he could see much far
Their and much more clearly than he
ground. 1t didn't take him long to dis
cover that there were some old apple
trees over near the barn. He remem-
bered that Reddy had told him about
the turkeys and how they roasted in a
tree. One glance at Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy was enough to let Hooty know
that they had reached the end of their
journey. You see, those Foxes were
approaching those farm buildings very
cautiously. They were approaching very
cauStionsly indeed. Could you have been
there you would have known Just by
watching them that they were hunting
something.
This is the end of the Journey"
thought Hooty. 81 don't need to watch
them any longer All I have to do
now is to locate those turkeys. II they
are in a tree it will not take me long
to find them"
So Hooty paid no more attention to
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy. He few straight
top. Almost the first thing he saw was
an apple tree with IL great black OBJ
jects in it. Hooty almost chuckled
aloud. Those black objects were the
turkeys. He didn't need to be told
that All he had to do was to pick out
the one he wanted. Turkeys in a tree
might be safe from foxes, but they
were just where big owl would rather
have them.
Now, Hooty the Owl is a very bold
fellow. Hooty didn't have to watch
out for a dog as Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
always had to watch out. The only
thing that Hooty fears is q man with
a terrible gun. And, because he hunts
mostly at night, Hooty seldom has occa-
sion to watch out for a terrible gun
He didn't evn give the matter
thought this time. He turned his head
swiftly each way. Everything was dark
save for the faint moonlight, and every
thing was very, very quiet. Apparently
those turkeys were sound asleep. Hooty
spread his great, broad. silent wings,
and, for all the world like great drift
ing shadow, he floated back and forth
above that tree, picking out the turkey
he would have for dinner. All his
hopes were now realized. He had found
the turkeys, and that was all he asked.
He would do the rest.

Hooty the Owl was growing impa-

tient. He had followed Reddy Fox and
Mrs. Reddy a long distance, and now
they seemed to be simply wasting time.
They had stopped Hooty had thought
at rirst that they must have reached
the farm where the turkeys were. But
he had circled around and found no
farm. Those two Foxes had stopped in
a piece of woods and were actually
lying down. Hooty didn't know what to
make of it, But having followed them

this far, there was nothing for Hooty
to do but to wait to see where they
would go next. So he perched in the
top of a tree and kept his eyes fixed
on those Foxes. He had no intention
of allowing Reddy and Mrs. Reddy to
slip away unseen.
The moon was very late in coming
up. and then it was only a quarter
moon. But it gave light enough to
hunt by. You know the eyes of Hooty
the Owl are very wonderful. He loves
to hunt in the moonlight 1t is just
the kind Of light that suits him. 1t
was just after this silvery light of the
moon came creeping in through the
treetops that Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
