New York Stocks

NEW YORK, Dec. II. U.P)-
Trading declined sharply on the
stock exchange today and prices
were steadier than yesterday when
there was an active selloff in The
last hour.
Traders ascribed yesterd a y S
break to profit-taking and touch
ing off of stop loss orders and said
investors did not offer stock. With
accounts in good condition there
were only a few margin calls TO-
day and the market steadied.
Small losses were noted in such
issues as U. S. Steel, Anaconda,
General Electric, Du Pont, and
General Motors.
Wilson A again led in activity,
touching a new high at 30A up 2
points while the preferred reached
103A up for the first time this
year. Other packing issues were
strong. Plans of Wilson & Co,
third largest packing house, for re-
forming its capitalization were re-
ported nearing completion.
Weak features included the two
Standard Gas preferred issues. The
7 per cent touched 14A off AZ
and the 6 per cent 1895 off rs, ,
both new lows. The dividends on
these two were eliminated after the
close yesterday. Other utilities
were unaffected. Consolidated Gas
and North American gained. Com
munications were around the prev
ious close.
Loew's which lost 21s points yes
terday, after directors had been
ordered to declare a 75-cent extra
dividend, was steadier today in ac-
tive trading. Wet issues were bet
ter and SO were the motors. Mot
or equipments made small gains.
Textile issues were higher. Steels
were slightly lower.
Aviation issues were relatively
active some of them making slight
advances. Silver made good gains.
The railroad section was mixed.
TobaccoS were featured by gains up
to 2 points in Liggett & Myers B
and Phillip Morris. Farm equip
mentS were barely changed.
Sales today approximated 100000
shares against 100000 shares yes
terday. Curb sales were 100000
shares against 243,O00 shares yes
terday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
averages showed industrial 10097
up 0.16, railroad $3.50 up DOL, util-
ity 1926 off 0.02.

horses and went in the artillery
branch of the service some 16
years back with the distinct under
standing I'd have a single mount
and not ride the off mare in a gun
carriage team.
I was a sergeant then and
when a shavetail lieutenant ad-
mired my riding to the extent
of remarking that I must know
something about horses, I
couldn't stand prosperity, be-
cause the next day was pri-
vate.
II ought to know sompin'
about 'em," I replied; "I'm
around enough horses necks!"
Well, let it go; but anyway, I
want to see that East-West
opening match and likely as
not there's where I'll wind up,
particularly if I can find a
horse.
I might try the international
yacht races up at Newport, but
not having been in the Navy,
would hardly understand the

ing. say nothing of ducking the
boom. Too, there is the Giant
Cardinal massacre up at the
Polo Grounds; but they can be
seen today and Sunday.
Sure, I always liked those
equines. I'm an admirer of such
statues and such art. I have

was threatened with arrest if
I didn't leave so the watchInan

Sixty per cent of the balance
of the first four games shall
form fund for the players of the
contesting teams and of the
teams finishing second, third and
fourth in their respective pen
nant races which shall be appor-
toned and disbursed by the
secretary-treaSurer as follows:
Seventy per cent of the pool
to the players of the world series,
so per cent to go to the winners
and 40 per cent to go to the
losers.
Look at Figures
There's no need of going any
further with the rule book on
this subject. Let's look at some
of the figures, basing all calcuIa-
tions on the supposition that the
series will be won in four games.
Out Of Mr.. Ford'S 100 grand,
$4,000 will be knocked off at
once by Judge Lands. This will
aid in paying the umpires and
other expenses incurred by the
commissioners office in conduct
ing the series.
Out of the $85, ZOO left, $51, 900
will go into the pool for the con-
testing players and the teams fin
iShing second. third and fourth
in their respective pennant races.
Taking 10 per cent of the $751;.
900 there will be $35, 700 to cut up,
and dividing that so per cent to
the winner and 40 per cent to the
loser, the winning team will profit
to the tune of $21, ,420.
In the event that the series
drags out over four games, and
keen judges of baseball see a
seven game battle when the Tigers
and Giants come together, there
probably will be certain adjust
ments made in the division of the
money.

Less Real Exercise in
Cycling Than Walking

walk for health!" is the slogan
today, and 1t was recently suggested
that, in spite of the amazing develop
ment of hiking, there were still too
many young people who didn't walk
enough.
It has been calculated that, In
walking a mile, the average person
takes 2,263 steps. In cycling mile,
the exercise taken is equivalent to
1927 steps, which means that the
cyclist has to cover about three and
a half miles to get the same amount
of exercise that the walker gets in
one.
This is an interesting comparison,
which sets new standard for walk
ers. Many people, who would think
nothing of cycling seventy miles in a
day, would be appalled, If they were
asked to walk twenty in the same
period. But the exercise obtained in
each case Is equivalent.
There are mixers, Of course, who
do twenty-five or thirty miles day,
but there are quite number who
think that, If they walk ten or even
less, 1t is time to catch bus or train
home.
Walking is good exercise, but 1t Is
necessary, If we are to rely on 1t for
that purpose, to make sure we get
enough Of it.-London Answers.
