 New York, July 16 = (UP) = Selling came into the stock market in the afternoon trading today and prices reacted after the whole list had been carried up under the lead of U. s. Steel. Y
 Pressure converged on the rail- 2 5-8 points toj153 3-4; New York Central points to 82; and Southern Pacific 1-8 to 76 1-2. Weakness m New York Central followed publication of Dow Jones estimate placing earnings for the first half of 1891 to 50 cents a share, against actual earn ings of $4.63 a share in the corre- spending period yesterday.
 Industrial stocks fell back from their highs. Steel which had reached 93 7-8 fell back to it's previous close of 92. Air reduc- ton lost 4 IA points net and Na- tional Biscuit made a new low for the year at 56 1-2 off 3-4. Early gains in Case, General Electric, Bethlehem Steel and Union Car bide uere replaced with small losses. Behavior of the Utilities was the same as the industrials.
 There was nothing in the news to account for the turn down in the market. The German situa- tion was unchanged, with efforts going ahead to place the Reich on a firm basis financially. French were discussing a long term loan for Germany and indications here were that bankers were preparing the way for American particiDa- tion in such loan. The only joker in the French discussion was that this country take up half of the loan and Europe the other half. |.
 Reopening of the German banks was conducted in an orderly man. ner and the banking situation ap- peared greatly improved.
 The effect of the improved con- ditions in Germany led to short covering in early dealings, &C., counting for theadvance in the To- cal stock market. When that short covering was completed the mar ket had no buying power to con- tinue the rise and prices slipped back. At the end of the fourth hour trading had turned very dull and price movements were narrow around the lows of the day.
 EARLY TRADING
 New York, July 16.A(CP)-Thc stock market advanced fractions to 2 points at the opening to-day, fol- lowing similar action on the London and Paris market before the open ing here. The pound sterling and German mark were strong in for eign exchange trading.
 All of the initial gains were moi retained in the early trading but selling that followed the opening was not particularly heavy.
 At the beginning of the trading, steel common was at 92% up s i; Standard Gas 611s up 2; Interna- tional Telephone 29h up 1%; Ken necott 17% up 1A. =.
 German bonds improved with the z per cent Dawes loan issue up 2 points from the previous close. Others of the German group made corresponding gains.
 During the early trading In stocks. steel common broke below 92 and American Can which opened at 1o2N up + fell back point from that level.
 Westinghouse Electric opened at 63 up F and then frmed up fur- ther. Amreican Telephone. on the other hand, fell back to 173h after

 In falling to the ground, Rice sustained injuries to his face. nose and mouth and suffered the loss of several teeth. The amount in- volved in to-day's settlement of the case was not made public.

 / Judge Newell Jennings finished his charge to the superior court jury which has heard the evidence in the Latvanis arson case for the past two weeks at 1920 o'clock this afterrc n. At 2:20 o'clock the jtlrymen began deliberating on the question of whether Tofelas Lat vanis and his wife, Milalina, are guilty of arson and set fire to ei,e tenement house in which they liv- ed on Highland avenue in order to collect insurance on their fur niture.
 ; This morning the trial was taken up by the delivery of an argument to the jury by Attorney Henry Freeman, associate defense counsel. Following his lengthy argument the final and last argument was offered in rebuttal by Assistant States Attorney William B.

 Pretenses

Michael Yarosh, charged with obtaining money under false pre- lenses, pleaded guilty to the allegd- tions before Judge Newell Jennings in the local superior court this morning. He was given suspend ed sentence of one year in jail and was placed on probation in the GUS tody of William M. Harris, court probation officer.

his wife. Attorney Fitzgerald e. piled that if the state of Connecti- cut is forced in every criminal case to produce actual eye witnesses to the commission of crimes. the nurn- ber of criminals at large will be very great.
 Judge Jennings charge took about hree quarters of an hour to deliver.
 This mornings procedure was not very exciting and the only change int the days program to grant any excitement came when Mrs Latvanis suddenly fainted while arguments were in progress. She was carried from the court room by Deputy Sheriff Nicholas Jamele and revived. She later resumed her position in the court room. All through the trial, which has lasted two weeks, Mrs Latvanis has been in more or less hysterical mood. She has cried almost constantly and resumed her weeping after being revived to-day.

SCHOOL BOARD'OF :.
 NEW YORK CITY
Will Not Permit Any Teacher to Hold Down
 Two Positions
HUMANITY MEASURE

The school authorities at New York have taken steps to see that no teacher holds two positions dur ing the period of depression the country is now ex- periencing. No teacher will have a position in the day and evening schools or be in any way a wage earner in two positions. This is re- garded as an appeal to the hu- manity and patriotism of teachers.
 It is believed that this order will furnish openings for quite large number of teachers who are on the waiting list and could not get a chance to earn dollar either in the day or night schools.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

Stella asks for some suggestions for
penc.l-and-paper games. She is going
to have lots of house guests at hen
country home this Summer end finds
that there is nothing like pencil-end-
paper games to keep her guests from
being bored On rainy days.
Have you ever tried Chaotics? The
hostess must do a little preparatory
work for this game. 1t is best to take
words Of obj2ct7 il the room wher7
the game is to be played. Each word
is then jumkled. Telephone may be-
come NeIethope and Magazine becomes
Gazemain. If you like, you may use
geographical names - rivers, cities
countries, etc. Each guest should be
provided with list Of I'll the words
and a time limit should be set for
guessing.
Hidden Words may be played in this
way: Take tnree-letter WORD such as
fer or the" and give each player q
rercl and paper and ask him t. make a
list CT all the words he can think OF
that contain these letters in the proper
sequence. With "thc" one can find
such words as theory" and these" as
we'll as words like "stetheScope." in
which "the" is contained within the
word
If your guests ore fond of books you
may make lists Of characters found il
various books that they have all prob
ably read. Each guest then writes
down the name of the book and author
in which the character appears.

IT'S time for picnics-or at least it's
time to think about them.
Coed equipment means lot when you
are preparing a picnic. But you can
have a delicious picnic supper even if
the equipment Is rather sketchy and
scant. 1t will be more work, but the
results may be just as good.
One thing-there must be enough
paper napkins and paper plates. They
are cheap and they certainly reduce the
time and trouble in preparing and
clearing up picnics to great extent.
You can have white enameled metal
cups. or old cups from the home china
closet or paper cups. But again you
must have plenty. There is nothing
more uncomfortable than having a
picnic without enough implements. And
If you plan TO do much picnicking this
Summer by all means get together your
implements now. and get enough of
them. no matter how plain and cheap
they may be. for comfort.
There are inexpensive grills for
picnicking. You build fire in the open
and spread your grill over ia wire or
metal rack with four uprightS to hold
1t in position. Over this grill you can
broil meat, and on 1t you can place a
frying pan and coffee pot to cook.
or course you can do all your cook
ing beforehand. and take vacuum
bottles and jars to hold the hot food
This is simpler way than the grill
method. And vacuum bottles and lars
are quite remarkably cheap, when you
come to price them.
certain amount Of simplicity Is
really very desirable at a picnic. 1t Is
better to have menu that is not elab-
crate than to have lot OF food that is
difficult to serve and messy" when it is
served. A lot depends on the hostess SO

cerned Some women can serve
