NEW YORK, August 30.-With a
triple holiday ahead Of it, the bond

transactions today and fluctuations Of
smaller size. The most important ones
were again in the convertible list.
OF these the two telephone 4i2s and
several of the railroad stock option is
sues moved over the widest range. In
ternational Telephone bonds started 1l5
points higher and gained additional
ground. American, Telephone convert
ibles. after losing IA points, gained
point. Atchison 4l2s and Southern
Pacific 4l2s were both fractionally
higher, about duplicating Thursdays
best figures. American International
5l2s moved up with the stock to the
extent of point. General Public
Service 5l2s lost a point, while New
Haven IS were off y.
AS 1t is expected that the new Treas
ury offering may be announced early

in Government issues. The Federal

a further decrease in Government
securities held of $3.2s6.00O. with the

POINTS ON MAKING THE
CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKE

The making of fruit cake for the
holiday season is Of interest to a
good many housewives just now. AS
these cakes require several pounds
of fairly expensive materials, the
fine points about mixing and baking
them should be observed with unus-
ual care if one wishes to avoid
waste and turn out good product.
Whatever recipe is used, suggests
the Bureau of Home Economics of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, prepare all the fruit
and nuts first. Pick the fruit over
very carefully, wash it, and dry it.
Cut citron or other dried peel into
small pieces. Make sure there are
no bits of shell among the nuts and
that they are all sweet and fresh.
In mixing start as with any cake
by creaming the butter and sugar,
adding the beaten yolks of the eggs
and the liquid. Cider or grape juice,
tart jelly, and often sour cream and
molasses are used for the liquids.
Jelly that is not firm enough for the
table but otherwise of good flavor
may be put in the cake. The molas-
ses should be sweet, not strong.
Half of the flour is mixed with the
leavening and spices, and half with
the fruits and nuts to keep them
evenly distributed throughout the
dough. Add the first part of the flour
alternately with the liquid, then the
Toured fruits and nuts. Use the
hand to mix well. Add the whites of
the eggs last.
Line the pan or pans for baking
the cake with well-greased paper to
prevent scorching and cook very
slowly in very moderate oven
(275' to 900' FL. If you are making
one large cake use a tube pan. The
dough may fill it to depth of 31s
or 4 inches. A 6-pound cake in one
loaf will take about four hours to
bake Two smaller tube pans or
bread tins may be used for the
amount Of dough in 6-pound cake.
Test the fruit cake with clean
straw. Turn it out on a rack to cool
as soon as it is done. When cool,
wrap in waxed or parchment paper
and put away in tight tin box. If
this is done the cake will keep for
many weeks. It should be looked at
once in a while to make sure that
no mold Is starting. Some people
prevent fruit cake from drying out
by putting half an apple in the tin
with it or a piece Of cheesec1oth |
dampened with cider.

CHAMPIONSHIP
BEEFSTEAKS MAY
SELL FOR $12 LIB.
Iowa Farm Boy DispOses of Prize
Steer to Chain Store Magnate for
1887; Price Paid Sets New High
Figure.

Twelve dollars a pound for beef
steak, this epitomisers what oc-
Cured at the stock yards when FL
liot Brown, 2O-year-old Iowa farm
youth, sold his grand champion steed
of the live stock show to New York
millionaire for $7,837.
The actual price paid was $S.25
per pound on the hoof, for $50
pounds of beast, but after the steers
dressed, the steaks and roasts would
have to retail at $12 to keep from
showing a loss. However, the
chances are there'll be no loss, be-
cause ]. c. Penney, the chain store
merchant who out-bid several other
millionaires to buy the steer, donated
the animal to the United Charities of
Chicago who announced the steer
would be sold again to enrich the
Christmas fund.
The price paid for the grand cham
pion was a new high figure, exceed
ing by SLIPS per pound the amount
paid for last years champion. A
good portion of the money likely will
send young Brown to Iowa State Col
lege where he intends to enroll next
January. Brown is following in the
footsteps of his father, John b.
Brown, who is an expert stock
feeder at Rose Hill, Iowa.
In buying the prize steer, Mr.. Pen
ney duplicated his act of last year,
