Cactus VS.. Dog

Knowing Barney, I needed no
further explanation. The dog
had undoubtedly nosed around
the plant. One Of the points
had probably pricked his nose.
He had grown angry and
snapped at it. The cactus had
got into his throat and made
him angrier than ever. He
went back at the plant, and
the more he ate the more it
hurt him. But he wouldn't
quit until he had bitten the
plant to bitS-and had a thou
sand little needles in his throat.
BY the time Rosa finished
telling me what the dog doctor
had done to Barney and how
1t had been necessary to give
the poor animal an aneSthetic
in order to draw out the
needles, she was in terrible
shape. She grew rapidly worse.
And in 10 minutes it was neces-
sary to summon a doctor.
AS a result, it cost SO to
cure Barney and slightly more
to cure Rosa just because of
one little cactus plant. But I
don't mind. It was worth 10
times the sum to meet some
one who could love a dog that
much.
Then there was the time
Rosa was hurt in the subway.
Not bodily hurt. to be sure, but
a rather painful accident at
that. She was just stepping
from the platform to the train
when the cars gave a sudden
jerk and she was thrown to
the ground with her foot caught
in the door. Fortunately, the
train came to an immediate
halt.
She had a decidedly good
accident case and I sent her to
my attorney as soon as she was

Efficient Rosa

Efficient Rosa
I like Rosa-and I miss her.
Back home, Rosa is my maid,
my cook, my official worrier and
my doctor. When I arise in the
morning and I look slightly
bleary, Rosa takes one look and
brings me a huge tomato juice.
If I look cheerful, she hurries
out for a chopped steak. If /
ask her what day it is, she gets
the bromo seltzer. And if 1 am
angry about something, she just
closes the kitchen door and
ignores me.
Rosa has been with me about
three years now, and so we'll
does she know me that I feel
certain she must have been with
me in some previous experience.
How old is she? Well, if men,
jOry serves me correctly, she once
showed me a picture of her little
granddaughter in Germany. But
! hasten to assure you that Rosa
is still very, very young.
I think I first grew to like
Rosa a very great deal, on the
day that Barney, my English
bulldog, ate the cactus plant.
Barney wasn't more than seven
or eight months of age when
Rosa joined the family, and he
wasn't particularly fond of any
one. But 1 noted from his
actions that the dog sort Of
went for Rosa in a big way. So
that made her okay with me.
Well, I arose one morning to
find Rosa in a set of semi
Mysteries in the kitchen. Where
was Barney and what had hap
pened? Between SobS, Rosa in
formed me that Barney was in
the nearest hospital, Somebody
had sent me a small cactus
plant for a present (there's \
present for you'd and Barney
had eaten it during the night.
Result-One dog hospital in
hurry.

OLD LOWS NEAR
IN RETREAT
ON CURB

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 G.N.S0.
A renewal of the downtrend de-
veloped in today'S curb dealings,
after a show of resistance in the
early trading.
Leading issues dropped to
around last weeks lows, on the
continued withdrawal of support

Aluminium Hard Pressed
Aluminium was hard pressed in
the speciality division. sustaining
a further loss of 2 points.
Utilities ran into liquidation OF
special character, with Common
wealth Edison dropping to a new

Metal shares lacked their buoy
ancy of recent days, with New.

and lesser losses noted in Lake
Shore and Wright Hargreaves.
Alcohol Shares Steady
Alcohol shares were fairly we'll
absorbed, around previous clos
ings. Oils did little.

Shift in Chemical
Prices Runs SLiQht

Various changes were made
during the past week in prices
on heavy and fine chemicals, but
advances about balanced reduc,
tions, and none of the revisions
were of major effect, the Oil,
Paint and Drug Reporter says in
it's current issue.
Demand was irregular for in
dustrial chemicals in general. Re-
sumption Of operations in New
Jersey silk plants increased the
call for dyes and related ma
terials. Prices on coaltar prod
ucts continued firm. Demand
for toluene eased off. The fine
chemical division was dull.
The Reporters composite index
number for prices of heavy and
fine chemicals was unchanged for
the sixth consecutive week at
1862 compared with August l,
1914. as 1000. In comparison with
average prices in 1925 (as 1000
the Reporters index number is
now 1914, against 88.3. at this
time last year.

which are well down from their
summer highs may as well be held
through on an investment basis.
But trading commitments at
present are too dangerous for the
little man. While it continues to
seem probable that the Admins
.wation will be forced to resort to
drastic initiation, it still clingS to
the ill-advised NRA experiment,
with the result that we may have
to go through a period Of clashes,
attempts at coercion and business
disturbance before finally taking
the initiation road.
New Test Seen Likely
Thus it is too easily possible
that the october lows may be
tested again, to warrant commit
ments here. AS long as the Pres
ident shows a tendency to cling
to NRA as a recovery" measure
and to hold back initiation, sharp
reactions are bound to occur.
But he may be driven to do
something spectacular with his
new gold fixing policy" at any
time. So at the moment we re-
main in q condition of complete
uncertainty.
I can see at least four different
possibilities? and can see no
strong probability which one will
develop.
IA little technical rally soon,
followed by a five or six point
reaction, and then by an infla-
tionary rise.
2-An early reaction to the
preceding low level, followed by
a rather narrow trading range
Of several weeks.
3-After a little further hesi-
tation here, some Washington
policy" may bring another
jump. like the one last week.
with no change at Wash
ington and increasing NRA dis
turbances, the market might
work irregularly lower and finally
break new lows.
Leave 1t To Professionals
The things to watch are the
volume of trading, and commodity
prices. If volume picks up on any
strong spots today or tomorrow
it will be a distinctly bullish in
dication. The same would be true
of rise in commodity prices.
Barring important fresh news
the wise course is to let the pro-
fessionals play the game by
themselves. and see which team
can make a first down.

NEW YORK. Oct. 81 GN.S).
Cotton futures maintained q steady
tone today, with prices slightly
under the previous close.
The South and New Orleans
were the principal sellers with
moderate hedge offerings con-
tributing to the supply of con-
tracts.
Price Fixing Support
Support appeared in the form
of price-fixing for the domestic
and foreign trade and scattered
purchases by Wall Street and the
Far East.
There was little news affecting
the market aside from a further
mark-up in the gold price and the
feeling that a crop Of more than
13,000,000 bales may appear in

on preceding breaks and found
themselves unable to get out, as
well as from those who bought in
hope Of more sustained rallies
than have occurred.
Unless some strongly initiation
ary step is announced from Wash
ington, there seems to be small
chance of much higher prices.
The public is not coming in, and
those who are in are mostly
hooked and locked in with lin
flation stocks" or stale holdings
which show sizeable paper losses.
Certainly, there is nothing in
the business situation to suggest
the development Of any bullish in
tereSt in the market. Business as
a whole is distinctly poorer. and
NRA confusion and lack Of con-
fidence are growing.
The market remains caught in
descending triangle" and it
would take very definite steps to
depreciate the dollar further to
cause much buying Of equities.
No Hurry in Buying
can see no need for hurry in
buying any stocks. It seems a
fairly good bet, however, to main
tain holding of such initiation
