Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. IA. U.R)-Last
minute support for United States
Steel Common stock arrested a ter
rifle wave of selling today on the
stock exchange
Support for steel came after the
issue had made a new low since
1921 al 49,, off 23s from the prev
ious close. Dozens of other high
grade industrialS had been carried
down with steel; utilities made new
lows for the bear movement. indus
trials on the average were at new
lows for years and rails for 80
years.
Before the late support, the mar
ket had been hammered down l to
more than points.
At the outset. large amounts OF
selling orders were touched off with
individual blocks ranging from 1000
To 1000 shares.
Uncertainty abroad was the prin-
cipal factor in the early selling. al
though domestic dividend mcer-
tainty, q weak bond market and
fears Of utility investigations were
obstacles TO an advance.
Following the support given steel,
shorts covered in moderate amounts
and prices of the leading issues
moved up from their early lows.
American Telephone & Telegraph
met heavy selling on fears West
ern Electric, its wholly owned sub
sidiary. would omit its dividend at
the meeting tomorrow noon. Tele-
phone broke TO a new low since
1927 at l55, off points.
Considerable sentiment is attach
ed to the trading element to the
fluctuations of the averages. The
theory held is that when a low
level is broken, the market contin-
ues its downward course. On June
the industrial average closed at
l2l70. That was the low for the
bear market. If it held, Wall street
looked for a rise, if not, a decline
was due BY noon today that fig
ure had been violated and prices re-
acter further.
According to preliminary calcula-
tons the Dow. Jones e. Company
industrial average declined ass
points to 1929. The railroad aver
age declined 1.56 points to 57.98 and
the utility was of l27 points at
49.49.
Sales to,aled 2.4OOOO0 shares,
compared with 100000 shares last
Friday.
LOS ANGELES. Sept. IA. tUP)-

geles stock exchange was featured

Owen shrugged his shoulders. I'LL

stander, Garrett. You're not that, an
you're there, boy, both ways from the
ace. But that won't keep you from
playin' on golden harp If you're 80

Maybe you're right and maybe
you're not, Amen" O'Hara rose and
brushed the crumbs from his clothes.
"But I've got to play the hand the
way it's dealt. One might as well be
cheerful about it as melancholy. How
does that song go that Texas Jim

Roll your tail and roll her high,
Well all be angels by and by.
"Hmp! I've heard preachers deny
that, but even if so aim to postpone
my angelin' for a while. Well, let's

Outside of the Montez barn four or
five young Mexicans were grouped.
O'Hara moved forward out of the
darkness and greeted them casually.

He had seen a bottle passing from one
to another, but at sight of him activi-
ties became suspended. They were
surprised to see him. This was pri-
vate bale; at least Americans had not
been invited. If the sheriff attended it
must be in the way Of business.
Then on what business? The Mexi-
cans held together against the gringos.
If one was wanted by the law his
countrymen hid and shielded him.
They were suspicious of the admins
tration of justice as worked out by
the ruling race.
O'Hara passed into the building.
The sounds Of stamping feet and the
strains of the music filled the barn.
Most of those present were dancing
and did not observe him, but the men
standing near the door expressed in
their looks surprised hostility. This
was their demesne. Gringos were not
welcome, especially officers of the law.
The sheriff refused to understand
the resentment. His smile remained
pleasant and friendly though it was a
little absent-minded. His eyes were
already searching for the man he had
come to find. The first survey Of the
floor failed to find him. There were
only Mexicans.
He saw Dolores Gomez. She was
dancing with slender young vaquero
in the costume of caballero. Ranged
against the wall were her father and
her mother, the latter wearing black
lace mantilla. Juan Garcia was on
the floor. In the room were two Hash
knife riders. But no Bob Quantrell.
A shift in the position of the dane
ers brought Dolores and her partner
into the foreground. Carelessly O'Hara
gaze rested for a moment on the young
man with the girl. He was in velvet
bell-shaped trousers and short vest
deliberately fringed with gold braid. A
wide red sash was fitted tightly to his
sheriff guessed that gallant a vain
young man. He was light on his feet,
but he went through the figures of the
dance hesitantly, as though he had
not practiced them very much. Yet
he was not abashed when he made a
slight mistake but quite self-possessed.
A smile lit the swarthy face. and at
sight of the two buck teeth that
showed above the retreating chin
O'Hara's heart lost beat. In spite of
the disguise he knew that the dancer
was Bob Quantrell.
And even while the sheriff watched
him man sidled up to the outlaw and
dropped word in his ear. O'Hara
knew what the man had said as we'll
as though he had heard him. For
Quantrell's glance swept instantly to
the door and found the officer. Hard
and unwinking, the eyes Of the two
men met and FLASHED.
Quantrell knew he had been recog-
nized, and the sheriff knew that he
knew it, though the mans feet still
kept time to the music. What would
he do? O'Hara did not for an instant

First Makers of Paper

The art of making paper from
fibrous matter seems to have been
practiced by the Chinese at very
early date. Some writers believe that
the Chinese made such paper at least
two centuries B. G. Paper first be-
came available for the rest Of the
world about the Eighth century
through the Arabs, who learned the
art of paper making from Chinese
prisoners captured in Asia. Before
paper was made from fibrous matter
papyrus was used for writing pur-
poses.
