BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Aug. II QN.S.)
Reactions from last weeks peak
prices in quiet trading today
wiped out a portion of the
ground gained in the last upward
move, but left the speculative
fayorites considerably above the
weeks low price levels.
Nervousness over the actual
and prospective closing of big
and small banks in Ohio and
neighboring States spread to the
stock market, causing liberal
selling of the industrials and
specialties.
Selling Fairly Heavy .
The number of thcusand-share
blocks passing through the mar
ket in the first hour was unuSu-
ally heavy for the dull period
and the noon volume was 800, 900
shares, or at the rate Of 2,000,-
600 shares for the full session.
There was little or no change
in industrial and business reports
and statements, and in the alb
senee of definite outside demand
for stocks the professionals were
inclined to the selling side. A
snap-back in the British pound
to 4.85 1882 reflected the i'm
provement in financial conditions
in the British Isles and the en-
couragement felt over the pros
pect of balancing the budget.
Drifting in of persistent selling
orders for cotton forced prices
down about 20 points, to within
81 bale of last weeks bottom.
Case and Auburn Hit
j. I. Case and Auburn Auto,
two Of last weeks bull leaders,
were hard hit by the early selling
wave. Case fell off 512 points to
62R and Auburn was pushed
backward 9A points to 1873.
United States Steel at 903s
showed a loss of nearly points
from Saturdays closing price, but
the stock was still points above
the low of last week.
American Can fell off 3A
points Ito 943s, but still main
tanned lead of 5 points above
the low Of the previous week.
Reactions of l to 21a points were
recorded all along the line in
stocks participating most actively
in last weeks sharp rally, with
the lowest prices of the day In
the opening hour.

When the La Toilette program
was rejected, Cooper followed his
friend into the independent cam

he was disciplined later by being

Cooper sucered from fall during

weeks ago and he attended her
very closely.
The veteran legislator was the

Mrs. Cooper and two sisters.
Coopers independence was dem

when he refused to attend the Re-

Cooper was born on Sept. 8, 1850,
in Walworth county, Wisconsin. He
was elected to the Fifty-third con-

With the exception of a star a tenth

be similarly hidden in September,
this is the brightest star to be oc-

during the present year.
The moon will be full at the time,
so its glare will make the star rather

At Washington, the moon will
cover the star at 2::25 a. m. eastern

moves eastward among the stars,
the disappearance will be behind the
eastern edge, near the lowest part.
Twenty-one minutes later, or at 2:44
a. m, the star will reappear behind

to the right. AS the star vanishes
and then emerges, it will do so with
great suddenness. This is because
of the lack of lunar atmosphere.
