New York, Nov = GU. P.) - Stocks f1uctuated nervously as the election approached, but rallies Friday and to-day eliminated losses made early in the week, and the list closed to-day about where it ended week ago.
 Volume picked up moderately late in the week. On Monday sales fell below 100000 shares in the lightest trading since June 2. 1924. On Tuesday, volume was 500,000 and after that the remaining full sessions averaged about million shares.
 Volume picked up moderately late in the week. On Monday sales fell below 100000 shares in the lightest trading since June 2, 1924. On Tuesday, volume was 500,000 and after that the remaining full sessions averaged about a million shares.
 Two sources of difficulty were re- moved late in the week. They were weakness that sent wheat to re- cord lows and pressure on the pound sterling. Both were rally ing as the week ended. Wheat gain ed sharply when the stock market was making its best recovery Fri day. Bonds firmed up after the Dow-Jones average for 40 repre- sentative issues had declined to a level prevalent in early August, and this also helped the stock market.
 Business news was in line with expectations. Car loadings report ed to-day showed a decline of 24,- 531 cars from the preceding week,

but this was considered normal seasonal shrinkage. Electric output held it's own as compared with 1891. Automobile manufacture pick ed up slightly and helped boost the rate of steel operations 1 point to 20 per cent of capacity.
 On the other hand, bank clos ings increased; bank clearings de- clined; business failures were un- improved; earnings continued to decline for many corporations; So7 cony-Vacuum halved its dividend; ; St Louis-San Francisco Railway was thrown into receivership; money in circulation rose $32,00Q,- 900; gold stocks increased $9,00O,- 900, an amount smaller than recent advances.
 The principal dividend decision of the week was the regular declar- ation by General Motors Corpora tion. Inasmuch as the dividend was not earned, some in the street in terpreted the payment as vote of confidence in the immediate fu- ture of business however. the com pany failed to make statement in connection with the payment and this had tendency to detract from it's value as a stock market factor.
 Following are the official stock exchange sales for the week ended November 5, as compared with the sales of the preceding week.

WANDERING WILLIE PLAYS IN BADLUCK
Does Not Know Where to
 Turn for Food and :, Shelter
FACING HARD WINTER

Usually about this time it was a common thing to see knights/ of the road heading for the southland but this season many of them in this part of the country, and the number is large, have decided to remain here, rather than try their luck in the south, where 1t Is said things arc worse than in the north.
 { One of these ramblers said to- day that he thought something of striking out as he had done for many years and went some dis tance in that direction, when he met a few of his chums who dis couraged him about their exper- fences and he turned back and de- cided to spend the winter in this state, making occasional trips from here to nearby towns. He remarked in a rather humorous way that the depression has hit people who are working short time and that 1t ought to be easy to see what effect it has on those who haveIno occu- pations.

Montgomery Ward reported sales for October off 10.1 per cent from the 1881 month. For the first 10 months that company's sales are down 20.4 per cent from a year ago.
 Steadiness in steel operations and a rise in employment in the Detroit area were favorable fac- tors. Firmness in commodities and strength in high-grade bonds also helped sustain the stock mar ket. Near the close some profit instances small losses were sub- stituted.
 United States Industrial Alco- hol was< again in demand, rising a new high on the movement at 28 up 2 3-4 points. National Dis- tiller also was strong, touching 21 1-4 up 3-S ' points. Ozens Illinois Glass eased off after it's wide advance yesterday. Crown Cork and Steel made small gain.

-
 New York, November 5 =. (UP) - Moderate gains recorded in the stock market today after yester- day's recovery left the list just about where 1t was at the close a week ago.
 A brief period of selling ap- peared when the weekly car load ings report was published, but the decline did not carry far and a new rally set in before the close. Volume, however, was small.
 Carloadings for the week ended October 29 totaled 617,642 cars, a decline of 24,531 cars from the preceding week. That total was down 16.5 per cent from the corr responding week of 1881 and down 33.9 per cent from the 1890 week. Wall Street had estimated a drop of 10000 to 25,00O cars, a seasonal decline. hence the lack of pressure when the figures were made puh- lie.
 In addition to the car loadings which were not bullish there were several other items that could be in. terpreted as adverse to a forward movement in the market. These included a sharp net loss for Ra- dio Corporation in the third quar- ter; a drop in operating income of American Telephone for Septem-

Wounding of Arthur Mayell of Chestnut Avenue Brings Quick Response From Department Identity of AssaiIant Known to Authorities

there will be no formal charges made against the lad responsible His parents have been notified and they are handling the case from that angle for the time being. The Mayell boy is under the care of his family physician. He was shot in the leg and the bullet apparently a .22 calibre has yet to be removed from his limb. N
 The shooting took place in a yard off Chestnut avenue Wednes. day afternoon and the families involved being acquainted are evidently not desirous of any en- tanglements with the police, the shooting being an accident. The investigation was made when con- trary reports were circulated.

Germ Gives Lab
 Men Merry Chase
Science Finally Traces Unusual Typhoid
 MicrObe

A mischievous, misbehaved germ which refused to get in the man. ner of other members of it's inn mediate typhoid family and which should have been examined by a psychiatrist rather than a bacteri- ologist has been leading the labo- ratOries of the state department ct health on a merry chase for some time, but has finally been tracked down and made to acknowledge its character, according to an article by Dr Willard Knowlton, director of the bureau of preventable dis eases. in the departments monthly bulletin.
 "Yes, it was a queer germ," ac- knowledges Dr Knowlton. First o1 all, it came from a queer place in an abscess deep in the chest and between the lungs of the patient, $ location which was place for any normal, self-respecting typhoid germ. No one suspected that il was typhoid germ because of this queer location, but the doctors had to learn what it was in order that the patient might be properly treated and in order to prevent spread of the disease, whatever il was.
 A special division of the state department of health laboratories established for such purposes 2 few years ago, was called into -ac. ton and the pursuit of the decep. tive microbe began. If germ be. havior or misbehavior fell within the field of mental science, the pc. culiar actions of this particular germ would have been better an. alyzed by a brain specialist. MT Germ refused absolutely tc show his true colors when put
 through his "paces" under the mi. l croscope. Its size, shape, swim
 ming habits and preferences as tc
 the color stains it would absorb
 were studied, as was it's behavior
 when fed on different kinds oi food. A certain food made MI
 Germ invisible under the micro.
 scope. so he was fed another kin6
 of food and brought back to visi. bility. His behavior in the pres
 ence of strong immune serum wal
 still queer.
 Any well-behaved germ in thu presence of that serum is expected
 to folloe' the rules of germ con duct which require that. all mem bers of the family shall stop nov

 this fellow and his playmates kept
 swimming merrily around as if the
 serum were the 'ole swimming
 hole"
 Many and complicated were the
 procedures followed. Although the germ had failed to react properly
 to typhoid serum. it was neverthe- less suspected that his ancestors were of the typhoid variety. Vari- ous other tests were made and the behavior of this particular germ compared with that of typhoid germs obtained from typhoid cases and carriers in the routine work of the laboratory. Finally, Mir Germ was definitely identified as being of the typhoid species and the doctors were thus able to pre- lscribe for the patient.
