Stocks have UNSETTLED CLOSE Selling Wave Strikes Market in Closing Hour. NEW YORK, June 9.—The stock market closcil unsettled today. Another selling wave struck the market in the last hour, when stock were sold in large blocks and all the leading issues again reacted to the early low levels. United States Steel, after moving up from 76% to 77*4, broke attain to 76%. and Baldwin fell to 76. Utah Copper had % bad break followin" the anouncemenf of the cutting of the dividend from one dollar to' fifty ceuts, that stock falling to -Is**, a loss of nearly 4 points. Inter-Agricultural Chemical preferred Solti down to 3614, a net loss of 10 points. American Smelting dropped 3% points to 37%. and United States Rubber fell over 4 points to 57%. Studebaker, after rallying to 70%, again broke to 70. The railroad shares held fairly well, sustaining only fractional losses. Mexican Petroleum, after falling 7 points to 138%, rallied to 140% and then dropped again to 539%. Total sales of slocks were 527,000 shares ; bonds, $18,(167,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) June 9 Tile daily discussion of market conditions these days is but a reiteration of unpleasant truths. There is nothing very cheerful to record. Search as we will for favorable factors, we can find nothing these days that is cheering to the investor. Many companies have passed dividends, and locally the feeling is that further action of this kind is to be expected. Today another dividend was passed and In the market comment United States Rubber has recently been mentioned as one of the prominent companies apt to join the ranks of non-dividend payers. The action of the stock recently is entirely in harmony with the suggestion. The great trouble is that the long hoped for trade recovery has not materialized. and the hopeful views that were expressed during the early spring have given "way to more despondent expressions. • There is practical stagnation in the steel and iron industry. It is doubtful if severe price cutting can be avoided. It does not require an expert accountant to determine what a fearful position the railroads would be in today if it were not for the abnormal advance in rates, and the future will not be very clear until some definite announcement is made as to the action of the railroad employes with regard to the recent decision decreasing wages. From a purely market standpoint conditions today are just as unfavorable as they were toward .he close of last year. Liquidation is increasing, ami there is nothing at the moment to indicate a culmination. and it is doubtful if we can have anvthlng more for the present than an occasional rally resulting from an oversold condition.

WHEAT PRICES SUFFER LOSSES Other Grains Close Irregular in Final Hour. CHICAGO, June 9.—The erratic preharvest movement on the Chicago Board of Trade continued today. Wheat opened several points higher, but lost some of the gain before the close. Other grains were irregular as were provisions. July wheat opened up 3c at $1.35% and closed off %<\ September wheat opened up 2c at $1.19 and closed off l%c. July corn opened up %c at 63%c and closed off l%c. September corn opened up %c at 6414 c and closed off lc. July oats opened unchanged at SSVic adn closed off %c. September oats opened unchanged at 40c and closed off %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —June 9—• Wheat—Yesterday's crop report was primarily responsible for uneasiness on tlie part of former sellers of wheat. The possibility of a general strike of railroad emplayes on tlie first of July was construed as preventing a movement of wheat to this market to till sales for July deliver)'. Further showers are predicted over tlie wheat licit which added to the uncomfortable state of mind- of sellers. There has been some evidence in tlie market of a moderate foreign demand, iuit no Important business has been reported. it is claimed that exporters are overbidding Chicago in the southwest territory by 2 to 4 cents for shipment to tlie guif to fill previous sales abroad. It is not discoverable that tlie producing section is selling freely. On tlie other side of the market we are confronted with unfavorable world economic position, weakness 111 foreign exchange, possib-i ity of destructive legislation, either State or national, extreme weakness in tlie stock market. This coming to the surface X)f general unrest will certainly go a long way toward disturbing the confidence of all buyers ad will probably be the important motive in ultimate prices. In all probability previous sellers have rectified their position, therefore market is in shape to be influenced by the absence of demand. Corn and Oats The estimated yield <*f oats ami the generally favorable condition for Hie new crop of coin, together with the slow exchange demand, have kept corn and oats heavy despite tlie action of wheat. There has been liberal soiling of both these grains by i-a-h handlers and elevator interests. With tlie idea of a destroyed buying power, it seems inopportune to expect any permanent strength. Provisions The weakness in foreign exchange, together with lower prices for hogs, have brought a little pressure upon lard. The market remains narrow and plainly in need of some motive not now present if prices are to be advanced.

QUIET AND REST NATURAL RIGHT, SAYS OFFICIAL Fashionable Noises, Which Disturb Sleep, Subject to City Law. AN ANTI-NOISE SOCIETY 7

By FREREDIC J. HAjSKIN. NEW YORK CITY—The question of superfluous noise and its effect upon the public health is now receiving much energetic discussion in this city, as the result of an Interesting ease recently brought into a New York police court. This was the complaint of Francis Newton and Childe Hassam, well-known artists, against the midnight musieales of Mrs. Richard T. Wilson, Jr., prominent society woman and sister-in-law of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. The artists claimed that their s’eep was repeatedly interrupted by loud and late music in Mrs. Wilson's apartment, which is situated beneath the apartment of Mr. Hassam and over that of Mr. Newton, in a cooperatively owned apartment house. Mrs. Wilson, appearing with several modishly gowned friends as witnesses in court, presented the ..novel defense that the artists could not have been greatly disturbed because her music was not common jazz, but expensive orchestral melody. And the judge agreed with her. 111 other words, according to the decision of this magistrate, the New York apartment house dweller has practically no redress against superfluous noise, if it be fashionable and elegant noise, though it lasts until 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, however, the word of this magistrate is not the last in the now widespread noise controversy. The public health department of the city is the final authority on the question of noise, and Dr. Copeland, the commissioner. is a just and vigilant protector of despairing noise victims. When the commissioner declares that a noise is unnecessary and objectionable, the noise is stopped. There is no argument about it, no trial, no fracas of any sort. The commissioner merely sends his inspector around, and if the warnings of the inspectors do not immediately produce a silencing effect, militant steps are taken to enforce the order. The authority of the commissioner is unlimited in this matter. He can close a house, or if necessary, a whole street. He can cancel the license of a noisy case or noisy truck. He can come into your house and silence jour Victrola. HEALTH COMMISSIONER HAS FI LL POWER. The long-suffering artists in the aforementioned case apparently did not know this. Instead of appealing to the powerful health commissioner, they attempted to establish their rights as American citizens to peaceful nocturnal slumber according to methods suggested in the constitution. They went to court. But first they sent notes of entreatj', politelyworded supplications for mercy, to Mrs Wilson. It was impossible to call in the aid of the landlord. There was no landlord. The house was cooperatively owned. Before the musical days of Mrs. Wilson. her apartment had been owned and lived in by William Dean Ilowelis, who never did anything more noisj' than to

use a typewriter. Childe Hassam wore padded heels in his apartment overhead and moved his easels about on rubbertired rollers. When any one of the artists or writers living in the house planned to have a late party he notified the superintendent, and the superintendent informed the neighbors. The neighbors then planned their evenings accordingly: * ithcr they stayed at home and prepared to endure the noise, or they went to the club or to the theater. It was a most satisfactory system. But William Dean Howells died. His apartment was secured tiy the musical Mrs. Wilson, and the old, considerate regime was ended. When questioned concerning tlie Wilson case. Commissioner Copeland has been uoneommital. Ho refuses to state li**w he would have settled it, bad it been referred to him, inasmuch as all of his information had been obtained from tlie published accounts in tlie newspapers and not from the reports\of one of his own investigators. He points out that many of the complaints against noise received by the health department are unreasonable—that about one out of every ten refers to a single noisy instance, and not to a whole series of them, let liis attitude is distinctly sympathetic toward the anti-noise crusaders. “New York," he declares, "is fast becoming a city of neurotics because of the unnecessary noises of automobiles, elevated trains, large trucks and continual traffic, to say nothing of household noises. We have the noisiest citj- in the world. "The effect of the noise on the nervous system is as dangerous as any bodily disease. The vitality is lowered by the j constant wear and tear of noise. The j health of the average person depends upon his or her vitality and power to throw off any disease. Nervous disorders ’ are as hard, and sometimes harder, to i combat than some phjsical defects. I SOCIETY FORMED TO C OMBAT NOISES. "A society has recently been formed to | do away with unnecessary noises—grinding brakes, nerve-racking automobile horns, loud motors, and other means of disturbing the much-needed quiet, and it is a work I heartily indorse. In fair, I believe it essential to the hca'th of tlie city.''

While continuous noise is a very great strain, sudden and intermittent noises are much more dangerous to our nervous systems, according to data accumulated by the Anti-Noise Society, of which Dr. Copeland speaks. ‘Each loud and sudden noise," It says, “produces a distinct nerve shock ami these shocks often repeated cause a loss of nerve vitality. Immunity from such noises can never be attained, for the sound waves of the air. thrown into violent action bp- a loud and sudden vibration, strike physical blows upon the auditory nerve, and a constant succession of such blows inevitably injures and finally destroys the delicate mechanism of the ear. Bells, whistles, gongs and the startling shrieks of street venders are, therefore, more injurious to the health than the continuous roar of elevated trains or the monotonous whir of machinery.” Noise Is regarded as particularly fatal to the person who does creative work or any mental work which requires deep concentration. Where a farmer or road builder or routine worker could endure the intermittent sound of blasting without marked effect, the sensitive nerves of a creative artist would suffer. Years ago, Edmund Teats, the Celtic poet, wondered why America was making so small a contribution to the fine arts Then he thought he had discovered the answer.

"I stayed In an American town.” he said, “where a railway train with a clanging bell went up and down the main street ever}' hour of the day and night. Perhaps the arts await until some Apollo shall rise and slap that python.” Charles Dickens was another cret )ive artist who found noise a great interference to art. lie not only found great fault with the noise of America, but he was constantly exasperated by the unnecessary noise—especially the noise occasioned by street musicians—ln his own country. Finally he appealed to Parlia ment on the subject, in an eloquent memorial that was also signed by Ten nyson, Millais, Holman, Hunt, Joseph Leech, Wilkie Collins and Thomas Carlyle. Thus, it ntay be seen that the artists, who precipitated the existing noise controversy in New York are not without their precedents. And they are certainly

not without their followers. Since the dismissal of Mrs. Wilson’s case, because of the expensive nature of the noise, thousands of letters of sympathetic protest have been pouring into the offices of the New Y’ork newspapers, as well as into the Newton and Hassam households, which show that public sentiment is clearly against music that lasts after 1 a. in.
