STOCKS
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

ny WALL . hEEI SEEC 1 ALVIN
NEW YORK, Sept. 80 0N.SO.
Commodities put the skids under
stocks yesterday, and down they
went.
The result was a fair-sized re-
action, which could easily have
gone a good deal further in view
Of the break in cotton and failure
Of the widely expected bull move
in wheat to materialize.
Trading Largely Professional
Apparently the bulk of trading
was done by professionals. There
Is little use in having an opinion
of the market at this stage. So
far it has maintained a trading
range. Wait and see how it
breaks out.
The rise of $17,00O,00 in brok-
ers' loans nearly offsets the de-
crease of last week. Stocks in the
meantime have done little, which
suggests some distribution.
AT that, though, the public has
been practically out for some
weeks, so that the loan rise may
be due largely to pool operations.
Wild Guessing On Steel
Talk is cropping out again of
big doings in the steel industry
before long. So far the stories
are largely among floor traders,
some of whom, its said, are will
ing to bet U. S. Steel common will
hit so before it sees 80.
The steel untitled tonnage re-
port is only II days away, which
probably accounts for much of the
gossip. Last months disappoint-
Inent has held guessing down,
though an increase is generally ex-
pected. 1t ought at least be more
than the 3,000-odd tons gain for
August.

DIAMOND STOCKS LOW

The Importation of diamonds
for the fiscal year ended June
80 dropped to about $l3,000,000,
or less than IS per cent of the
normal figure. Despite the bust
ness setback diamonds have been
sold throughout the United States
in greater quantities than they
have been imported, so that the
stocks at present in the hands
of importers and cutters are
lower than they have been at
any time during the present cen
fury.

POULTRY MEETINGS FEBRUARY
nth AT KENT AND KIRKLAND

For a poultryman to remain In the
poultry business year after year means
that he must plan to make a normal
replacement of pullets each fall. In
making this replacement the good
poultrymen will pay considerable at
tention to the quality of chicks or
pullets which he buys. What is a
good quality chick?'
In order that the chicks will grow
and develop normally 1t is necessary
that the care taker has an under
standing of food requirements and
feeding principles involved in the
normal growth Of chick. what are
the food requirements of a growing
chick and how do they change? These
are questions which will be discussed

RETURNS FROM WYOMING

Last Thursday Mr.. Jas. Iaidlaw, Of
the West Side arrived home from a
business trip to Casper Wyoming.
Mr.. Laidlaw ran into some extreme
ly cold weather in Wyoming, the
worst the country has experienced
since 1886. The peculiar thing about
the weather Is that the snow Is very
deep in same spots, ard in other areas
comparatively short distance away
there is very little snow.
The sheep raisers have been hard
hit. Ewes which three years ago were
worth twelve dollars are now briag-
ing in the neighborhood of three.
Many Of the big outfits are operating
at loss, yet hopeful that they will be
able to pull through.
Although Mr.. Laidlaw is mighty
fond Of the Island he confessed that
he enjoyed his visit to the country
which for SO many years was his
home.

RECEIVES COMMISSION.

This week Mrs. Anna Bowling re-
ceived her commission as postmaster
of the vashon post office. Her APP
pointment was received several weeks
ago. but Mrs. Bowling, with char
acteristic modesty, refused to allow
an announcement to be made until
she had received her commission from
Washington D. G.
Mrs. Bowling has occupied the posi-
ton of assistant postmaster in the
vashon post office for the past five
years and has proven capable and
willing to serve the public. For many
years resident of the Island she has
wide circle of friends and we'll
wishers. When Mr.. Bowling passed
away number of years ago his wife
was left with two children to support.
Although she had her little ranch
home east of Vashon she found II
rather q hard pull for a number OF
years, and her appointment as as
sistant in the post office proved a
real blessing. Long hours during the
Illness Of Mrs. Bridgman found her
uncomplaining and Mrs. Bowling car
ried on the work in the face Of hard
odds.
1t is with real satisfaction that her
many friends learned this week that
the formal notice Of her appointment
had come and that Mrs. Bowling was
in reality the postmaster Of the
vashon office.

To PROHIBITION

JERSEY CITY, N. j., March
81 GN.SO.-The kidnapping of
the Lindbergh baby was laid
squarely on prohibition and ac-
companying lawlessness today by
Mrs. Agnes Morrow Scandrett,
great-aunt of the missing child.
Mrs. Scandrett returned from
Turkey aboard the liner Exarch.
She said:
"The kidnapping cOnvinceS me
that as long as we have prOhi-
bitiOn no home in this country
is safe. We are at the mercy
of the gangs. They are thriving
on the general disregard for
law"
Mrs. Scandrett, who brought
back number of toys which she
had purchased for Charles Au-
gustus Lindbergh, jr., talked of
the breakdown of respect for the
law here due to prohibition. She
said:
'Tt should wake people up to
what is going on. 1 cannot be-
lieve that they realize how
strongly intrenched the crimi-
nal element is in this country.
"And the pity of it is that so
many of our finest citizens are
blind to it all. They are down
there in the trenches with the
bOOtleggerS.
I'm New Jersey, my own
State, there are dry leaders
who are fighting for the same
thing that the bOOtleggerS are
fighting for. They don't seem
to comprehend that. They don't
seem to know that the gangsters
want the dry laws left on the
books just as badly as they do"
