Grabs Stop 200 Fishermen.

Thousands of spider crabs have in
vaded Corner Inlet and Port Philip Bay
Australia, throwing 200 fishermen out
of work. In some parts of the inlet the
invaders are reported to be 3 feet thick
on the ocean bed and every form of fish
life and sea growth has been destroyed
They are believed to have drifted from
Japan in search of food, and some crabs
measure feet from claw tip to claw
tip. The fishermen are asking the gov
eminent to provid a heavy roller which
would crush the crabs.

effect, and in fact accenting the very
tip-top seems to be Fall fashion trick.
Now that it is really the end of Au-
gust and Summer hats are pretty much
the worse for wear, the tempting dis
plays of Fall millinery are becoming
popular shopping centers. A new hat
will freshen up many a frock and with
the addition Of dark shoes and gloves
will give a seasonal aspect to the en-
semble.
For a first Fall hat black seems to
be the choice of the shops, with
plenty of brown, eel gray and dark
blue to be had, and soft greens and
wine reds to break the monotony. A
smart hat for immediate wear about
town is a black satin narrow brim-
med, shallow crowned sailor with d1a-
mond shaped ornament OF rat tail
braid placed Squarely in the front
and extending to the center OF the
crown, where loose ends stick up
jauntily. The upper side of the brim
is also covered with braid. Rat tail
braid as trim for satin hats is not
ed on many models and makes an
excellent contrast. One cloche OF
black satin has its entire upper
crown of rat TAIL, and this one
chooses to continue beyond the
ordinary limits Of a crown and
reaches a point instead.
THE finest quality Of black wool crepe,
L called by various names, is the fab
fic of some of the most exclusive models.
A turban of this crepe is draped in
folds off to the left side and through
these folds is thrust white quill with
ends curled into ring. Another smart
cap toque that fits the head snugly has
long pointed leaves of rat-tail braid
with their stem ends at the center
crown and the points extending onto
the hair. A saucy little embroidered
veil covers the eyes and tucks under
the sides of the hat. Another little
peaked turban Is made Of folds of satin
and has narrow maline folds shading
the eyes.

STOCKS FLUCTUATE;
VOLUME FALLS OFF
Market Forced to take
Heavy ReaIizing-Individ-
uaI Issues Up.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 14.-Stocks went
through series Of wide but confusing
fluctuations in todays market Ii.
dividual issues were bid up sharply, but
they did not carry with them the res.
Of the list.
At intervals the market was forced
to take heavy realizing, which it did
with only unimportant recesions On
the other hand, no real progress on
the upside was accomplished.
Volume Falls Of.
Volume fell off from yesterday level
and that was considered a good sign.
Sentiment in the Street was much
mixed. Most spectators of the profess
sional type were adopting a trading
policy.
The dollar rallied in terms of foreign
currencies, although the changes were
not large. Grains were strong Wheat
closed 2as to Az cents higher. Rye
was up fractionaliy
The selling in stocks was most per-
sistent in the first hour and again in
the last.
The market opened slightly lower,
rallied and then met large scale realiz-
ing, all in space of two hours. The
selling appeared to be partly the nervous
turning into cash of paper profits and
partly an attempt to test the market
on the short side. The publicity given
to Thursdays boisterous advance and
the criticism of the performances CT
the specialtes undermined confidere,
in the technical position and brought
about the early irregularity.
Conspicuous Stocks.
A few stocks stood out conspicuousl'
for their ability to move against thr
trend One of these was internations
silver, which had a sensational rise C;
Z or points to the highest for the year.
Another was Cerro De Pasco, which
also made a new high. In both Of
these the basis was the strength in
the market for the metal Cerro De
Pasco is large producer of silver and
international silver was bought on what
was believed to be its strong inventory
position.
The liquor stocks had to accept realiz-
ing. along with the rest of the list, and
most OF them did little but hold their
own. Commercial Solvents was the ex-
ception. pushing ahead to a new top,
while the rest Of the group was under
pressure. Electrical Manufacturing
shares provided still another strong spot,
under the leadership of Westinghouse.
The exchanges were comparatively
quiet. Sterling was down nearly cents
at the opening on this side and all the
European gold currencies declined.

WALLACE IS "S0LD'
0NCROP CURBR[AN
Stands Firm Despite Recent
Presidential Statements
on Money Policy.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Nothing in presidential declarations
on monetary policy has changed the
views of Secretary Wallace and other
farm adjustment officials that produc-
ton control is highroad back to agri-
cultural prosperity.
In fact the secretary has reiterated
that imitation, by whatever means ac-
complished, would not alone solve the
problems of the farmer. He has favored
controlled imitation but believes even
that would not remove the disparity be-
tween agricultural prices and industrial
prices.
The removal of this disparity is the
principal aim of the Farm Administra-
ton and the programs outlined Tor cot
ton. wheat, corn. hogs, tobacco and
other crops are directed toward that
end.
Plans Are Simple.
In their essence. the plans for the
principal commodities named are SIM
ple. The consumer is taxed. The
money raised is used to pay the grower
for reducing his production. In theory
this hoists the price received b. the
farmer toward the level Of those re-
ceivec for industrial products. The
production control gets rid Of surpluses
that have kept prices down.
Complications arose when theory
was translated into practice and one
of the chief concerns of administration
officials now is that their program Will
be bent out of shape before 1t really
has a chance to show whether 1t
works or not. -.
An example is the 10-cent-a-pound
loan to cotton producers. This was
not on the original agenda OF the
Farm Administration, but the situa-
ton grew so desperate the step was
taken. In effect, the loan tends to be
q minimum price peg, although some
officials object to that interpretation
Other Groups Ask Action.
Immediately, the cry went up from
corn and hog producers: from cattle
growers, from wheat farmers and
others for similar action. Several OF
these commodities are being studied
with a view to loans, but the admin
istration doesn't want to have to put
a minimum price peg into effect every
time a commodity goes downward
whatever the cause.
Meanwhile, the demand for lifting
the processing taxes already in effect
is lessening bit, officials say. These
demands have centered chiefly on the
cotton tax, but at no time has there
been any indication the levy would
be abolished The processing tax Is
the heart of the farm act. They are
depended upon to raise the money
hundreds of millions-with which to
pay for the elimination of millions Of
acres from production.
