As Session Draws to Close
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March 81 U.N.S0.
The weekend stock market was
unsettled by the same brand OF
profit taking and short selling
which blocked the progress of the
bull market near the close of Fri
days session.
A few of the pool favorites
pushed ahead vigorously in the
first hour, Auburn Auto jumping
S points to 214l2 and Stone &
Webster points to 541a.
These upshoots were offset by
weakness in westinghouse, Liquid
Carbonic, etc, the latter breaking
, to 4414, for a loss of 8 points
from yesterdays high price.
.. Reviews Optimistic
The business reviews pointed
out the continuance of the recov-
cry in important lines, some OF
which have been stimulated by
Easter and spring buying. Steel
and automobiles also show up well
in the achievements Of the week.
The gas and electric light and
power stocks were under pressure
and fell off about point on the
average. This was in line with
expectations, in view of the sharp
upward move that has taken
place since.
Consolidated Gas at lot showed
a loss of IA for the day and 2l2
points from the high of a 12
point rise. United dipped frac-
tionally to 80 and Electric Power
dropped off 114 to SO.
General Electric and Radio
Keith, two of the weeks favor
ties, reached new high price
ground for the year, the former
at 48 and the latter at 2412.
Westinghouse fell off 312 points
to 915s and Air Reduction lost
8 points.
Late Trading Slows
The steel, copper and oil stocks
q. were freely sold by the profes-
sionals as the market swung into
the final period. Diamond Match
sold off nearly points at 201a,
and Columbia Graphophone
reached a new low on the move
at 1874, down IA.
Trading slowed up in all sec
tions and the market was dull
and irregular near the close.

There is an odd circumstance con-
nected with the White House. It's
front entrance has become the rear
and vice versa. It seems that when
George Washington selected the To-
cation for the mansion in which his
successors were to live and work
(but not he), he rode over to piece
of rising ground on David Bruins
farm, which commanded a sweeping
view of the Potomac river towards the
south and a vista due east to the site
on which the Capitol was soon to
arise, and, with due elaboration,
came to the conclusion that here. in

house was built, and so its front
porch looked over the land between it
and the majestic Potomac. But along
came Andrew Jackson in later days.
He had ideas of his own in many
ways, and he decided that the front
door of the White House should open
on to city street instead of on to a
park, and so he switched things
about. Who will say today, that
Jackson did wrong?

What Others Think
Let No. A Alone

In the last issue of the Advance Press Brother
Erickson paints quite vivid picture, to where in
his estimation, State Highway No. should be placed
relocated. Being sharp figures, we'll using
the tactics of his professional training, he wants to
make it appear that there would be a vast annual
saving of money if No. would be extended directly
north of Jackson, to Norton instead of jogging west
hitting Window, Sanborn and Redwood Falls, and
thence east to Norton shortening the distance about
ID miles, No. 4. Some deductions of Brother Erick
correct providing tourists follow No. all the
way north There are, however, only small fraction
who do so many of them turning west at Redwood
Falls into the playground region of Minnesota around
Glenwood Alexandria, Ottertail and Detroit Lakes.
Then, too vacaonists out to the beauties of
Minnesota and 20 or 80 extra miles good roads
not considered anything. Vacationsts generally are
good spenders, and will drive many miles of the
way to see natural beauty such there is located
along No. a, Ramsey park and Red Rock Dells being
examples.
Highway construction is expensive we know With
the necessary fills and bridges it would cost on the
average of $4,000 mile. One readily see that
the cost of SO mile road would be quite an item.
Condemnation of land for highway purposes last
cost average of 140 per mile construction
which is another item These items of course, don't
matter in the reasoning of Brother Erickson, since he
wants No. to skirt Springfield the west thus put
ting that town two state highways which are also
U. S. highways, and can't possibly blame him for
trying to annex No. A. If we lived there, would
probably do the thing That is only human ma
ture However since live in Sanborn with the peo-
pie of Window and Redwood Falls, should present to
Commissioner Babcock solid front to convince him
that there should be meddlng with No. A. and we
do it. we are Indifferent, however, we will lose
it-and we should. Now let's get busy, and in
stead of losing No. to Springfield ct al let bring
pressure upon the Commissioner to straghten the
minor kinks in the existing route and ask that it be
paved not later than the Of 49, United action

New York, Sept 25-(UP)--A series of wide swings occurred on the Stock Exchange today. As the fifth hour neared the market was above the previous closing levels although well below highs of the day.
 The nervous fluctuations were due to a series of tests admins tered by traders to determine, if possible, the future trend. The opening was irregular, followed by a swift rally which lasted an hour and was followed by an equally swift reaction that brought the market to new lows for the bear movement.
 The list steadied in the afternoon but met another attack when an erroneous report of a French bank failure was released. On correction of the report, the market made a swift recovery, ran into selling again and then shortly after 1880 it set off on a rise again.
 At 1880 the Dow-Jones Indus trial average was at 107.44 off 0.35; {; Railroad 56.81 up 1:23 and Utility 42.21 up 0.23. Sales to 1:30 to- tailed 2,100,000 shares, against 1,- 800,000 shares in the correspond ing period yesterday.
 In the early afternoon, the mar ket was given another aid in the form of stock exchange circular clamping down the lid tighter on the shofts who would raid the market for their own interests. The latest bulletin demands members report daily on all short transac- tions of their clients.

Geneva, Sept 25-(UP)-Efforts of the league of nations to settle the Manchurian dispute between Jpaan and China were dealt t severe blow today when Japan re- jected the councils offer to pro- mote mediation. Kenkichi Yoshi- zawaha, Japanece delegate, delev- cred a note to the council announce ing that Japan had firmly decided to settle the conflict only by di- rect negotiations with China.
 The Chinese would undoubtedly refuse such negotiations, since China worked for three years to become a member of the council for the primary purpose of using it's membership and authority to settle disputes with Japan.
