STOCKS MARK TIME
At SHORT SESSION
carIoadings Report Results
in Better Buying of Rail
Issues.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 22.-An unex-
pectedly large gain in the movement OF
freight bolstered the stock market today,
but failed to generate bullish en-
thusiasm.
In the initial dealings, the list showed
some signs of continuing yesterdays de-
cline, but rails rose l to points, pulling
up leaders in other groups, on appear
ance of the weekly carloadings report.
Most of this rise was lost in the last
hour, however, and the list closed with
q steady tone, with most net changes
of negligible proportions. Trading was
extremely dull, with turnover for the
two-hour session Of less than half a
million shares.
Advance Brings Selling.
Carloadings for all class l roads, as
reported for the week ended October 10,
showed an increase of 24,942 cars over
the previous week, in contrast to Wall
Street advance estimates of between
10000 and 10000 cars. This boosted
the total of 650,578 cars, new high
for 1882, and 1412 per cent under the
like period of 1881. These figures in
dicated clearly that the Autumn sea-
sonal peak was being made later than
usual.
Temporary gains of l to 2 points in
such issues as New York Central,
Southern Pacific, Santa Fe. Lackawanna
and Union Pacific we're lost. those issues
closing virtually unchanged. United
States Steel common finished about un
changed but the preferred lost couple
of points. Among issues closing off
fractions were General Motors. Case,
Wooiworth, United Aircraft and Corn
Products.
American Tobacco "B" appeared to
reflect some short covering, rising 2
points. part of which was lost before
the close American Telephone was up
2 points at one time, but was up only
y point at the close. American Can
and Bethlehem Steel finished fraction
ally higher.
Brokerage comment stressed pre-elec-
tion hesitancy, a normal phenomenon
at this time. Business in the exchange
was said to originate chiefly with floor
traders, with the outside interest largely
dormant.
Week end reports from the steel in
dustry were moderately cheerful, with
estimates that ingot output next week
would hold at least around current
levels little encouragement was re-
ported as result of inquiries for steel for
structural projects.
Foreign Exchanges.
Foreign exchanges were firm for
time, with the French franc making
further g2ins, but pressure against tho
dollar lightened as trading continued,
with most of the gold currencieS falling
back before the close. Franc cables
reacted to 3.93s4 cents, where they were
of LIS of point.
In commodities, wheat was off only
slightly during the stock trading session.
Cotton moved narrowly. finishing 10 to
20 cents bale lower.

that it is of considerable interest to res
idents of this community.
All day long The Press telephone rang
as people sought to know what had hap
pened at the annual meeting of Trans
america Corporation.
That the muddled condition of the
management of this corporations affairs
during the past few months has at last
been settled is good news to many Cali
fornianS, for millions of dollars from
this state are invested in it.
That the Giannini- victory is satisfac
tory to the stockholders is quite appar-
ent from the comments heard when re-
ports of the doings at the annual meet
ing were made public.
The confidence placed by the stock
holders in Giannini's ability to pull the
corporation out of the slump is splen-
did tribute to him personally. 1t is to
be hoped that this confidence is not mis-
placed and that the proper lesson will
be learned from the mistakes of the past.

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. Yod can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion Isl
new medical discovery with two-fold ac.
ton; it soothes and heals the infiamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is recog-
uized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
ofthroat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele.
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes
on to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and checks the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira.
tory diseases. and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
flu. Money refunded if any cough or
cold. no matter of how long standing,
is not relieved after taking according
to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)

Court TO Divide
M'Cai Property

Real estate and other property
of T. D. and Mrs. Cora Mccall is
the center today of a superior court
suit in Judge Vaughn N Thomp-
sons court, following the action
this morning of Mccall in stipu-
lating that his wife might have an
interlucutory decree of divorce on
grounds set forth in her complaint,
and on evidence introduced III q
former trial.
The Mccall property, amounting
to a value of several thousand dol
lars, will be divided between Mr.
and Mrs. Mccall on some basis to
be decided by Judge Thompson.
Mrs. Mccall was granted a dl-
vorce some time ago, but the in
terlocutory decree never was en-
tered. The case was reopened
principally for the purpose of ef-
fecting a property settlement, and
this morning, Mccall, through
M. w. Conkling, his attorney, stip-
ulated that Mrs. Mccall might
have an interlocutory decree of
divorce based on evidence intro
duced during the first divorce
trial.

tapped one icicle after another,
playing a jolly little musical tune.
Now you try, Uncle Wiggily,' said
Jack.
Uncle Wiggily began to play the
icicle piano. He did not do very
well at first, but even that was
more jolly than his singing. After
a while he learned to play quite
well, for a rabbit.
Nov take this icicle piano home
with you and play for your wife's
party" said Jack. II think you
will surprise them"
Hiding the icicles under his fur
coat, Uncle Wiggily took them
home with him. He put them out
on the back steps SO they would
not melt in the warm bungalow.
We'll" said Mr.. Longears to his
wife, Il am all ready TO help en-
tertain your party guests with my
music. Let me know when they
come. III amuse them"
"Oh, dear!" sighed Mrs. Long
ears to Nurse Jane. II just
dread itp
so do Il" said Nurse Jane. But
there was no help for it, they
thought. When the company had
all come, Uncle Wiggily hoped
into the room and said:
Il will not entertain you with
jolly music"
Get ready the cotton so they
can stuff their ears" whispered
the rabbit lady to Nurse Jane.
Uncle Wiggily went out on the
back porch to get his iciclc piano
party surprise and while ne was
there something very strange
happened. 1 shall tell you about
it tomorrow night when the story
will be Uncle Wiggily and the Cake.

He be5an to- play

"Oh, if it's a secret Of course you
mustn't tell" quickly agreed Uncle
Wiggily. But I have been told
that I have a very remarkable
voice for singing"
He had. Truth to tell Uncle
Wiggily couldn't sing a note but
all his friends felt too sorry for
him to tell him. Even Jack Frost
had to sort Of pretend in order not
to hurt Uncle Wiggily's feelings,
yes, your voice is remarkable, "
said Jack Frost. But I think you
could make some much better
music than just by singing"
"How?" asked Mr.. Longears.
Tell me how. please"
How would you like TO surprise
your wife and her friends by play
ing the piano?" asked Jack Frost.
THE pianol" cried Uncle Wig
gily. "Oh, I'd love to play that,
but I know it is very hard. One
must practice for years before one
can play the piano II is easier
to sing. I think had better stick
to my singing. My throat that was
q bit sore is better now and I car
make some wonderful, jolly music
for the company"
"Oh. no! Please don't sing!"
begged Jack Frost as Uncle Wig
gily once more opened his mouth.
But how can make music if
I don't sing?" asked the rabbit.
Il will make you special kind
of piano" offered the little elf.
you can learn to play it in a few
minutes and you can make some
surprise music for your Wife's
guests"
"Oh, I'd like to do that cried
Uncle Wiggily. But what kind of
a piano can you make for me?"
Il will make you an icicle piano, 4"
Jack promised. you know 1 can
easily make icicles by freezing
dripping water 1 will make a lot
of icicles, of different sizes, some
long, some short, some fat and
some thin. You may not know it,
but icicles have a tinkling sound
like the keys of some pianos. BY
striking a row OF different sized
icicles with stick I shall give you.
why, Uncle Wiggily, you will be
able to make some jolly surprise
music"
"Show me how" begged the
bunny.
Nearby was a spring of water.
Beneath its cover of ice the spring
wasn't frozen and, dipping out
some of the water, Jack Frost
made about two dozen icicles by
blowing on drops of water with his
cold and freezing breath

cept Imperial Valley. The storm
area is moving eastward.
Temperatures were lower last

Jail Conditions
Still Crowded

Nearing the $50 mark in spite of
federal Withdrawals and releases,
the Imperial county jail this morn
ing held 147 prisoners, or about 50
more than it was intended to ac-
oommodate when first constructed.
That county and city officers
were busy last night was attested
by the fact IA prisoners were
lodged in the jail. Six were county
prisoners, six city prisoners and
two immigration prisoners.
The immigration prisoners were
Rafael Muniz, %, and Esteban
Valdez, 81, charged with illegal
entry into the United States.
The prisoner population of the
county jail has been decreased
regularly lately because of groups
of federal prisoners taken to San
Diego for trial, and sentenced To
iails in other counties.

Seek Driver OF
Death Car Here

California highway patrolmen and
county officers today had been
asked by Riverside county officers
to watch for three Negroes wanted
there following a fatal hit and run
automobile accident in which a
white woman was fatally injured.
The name of the woman could not
be learned mere today. Neither
state traffic officers nor county Of
ficers had been informed of the
victims identity. She was killed
when struck near Whitewater on
the Los Angeles highway. Few de-
tails were available.
The principal object of the
search, extending throughout prac-
tically every county in Southern
California, is the Negro who was
driving the car. He was accom-
panied by two women of his own
race.

WHERE THEY ADVERTISE

THE California Building-Loan League
has been doing bit of investigating
into advertising matters with some re-
suits that are quite interesting.
In December the league sent out ques-
tionnaires to 195 associations through
out the state, which are affiliated with
it. OF these 120 or approximately 60
per cent have been returned.
They show some interesting ratings
on the value of advertising by blllboards,
newspapers, radio and direct mailing.
Billboards were not rated first in value
by any association. They were rated
second in value by one; were given third
position by eight and fourth position by
fourteen.
Newspapers were given first position
by forty-seven; second position by thlr-
ty-two and third position by three.
Radio was rated first by TWO asso-
Citations; second by six; third by nine
teen and fourth by five.
Direct mail was rated first by thirty
four; second by forty; third by six and
fourth by one.
The returns show that newspapers and
direct mail show predominant strength.
Newspapers were given the support OF
seventy-nine associations for first and
secohu place anu d4IeSI mai 1he sup
port of seventy-four associations for
first and second place.
1t is not surprising that the building
and loan league finds newspaper adver-
tsing the favorite medium. Most of us
whiz by bilboards so rapidly that we
hardly know they are there; as soon as
advertising comes over the radio we tune
in elsewhere while waste baskets seem
to be made principally for the mass Of
advertising by mail which is received in
all offices and many homes.
The newspaper comes into the home
and it stays there, TO be ready by every
member of the family. That is the sec
ret of the newspapers success as an ad-
vertising medium. 1t is as much a part
of the family life as potatoes, soap, nap
kins or chairs.
