SELLING OF CAN i PROVES FEATURE OF GENERAL FIST Disappointment Over Extra Dividend Action Prompts Heavy Offerings, LOAN CROWD IS BUSY Opening Demand for Industrial Leaders, However, Is Encouraging, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, March 25. —Floor brokers reported the biggest following In months in the stock loan crowd on the Exchange at Monday’s close of the stock market. Central Leather preferred and Rubber preferred were commanding a premium and a heavy’ demand had to be satisfied In steel, Baldwin, Studebaker and other speculative leaders. This evidence of an over-sold condition in the industrial group induced some short covering in the early dealings today and Studebaker, American Woolen and other Issues recently under pressure scored fractional recoveries. American Can’s movements were closely’ watched as the directors assembled for dividend action. First Hour Tremendous activity in American Can was the principal feature of the first hour. A3 foreshadowed by the break in the stock at the previous close, the directors took no action on an extra common dividened, authorizing only the regular quarter payraent and Can dropped to 111, off more than 8 points from last week’s high. Traders for the decline seemed to be more worried over the steel situation than the manufacturers. United States Steel is operating around 96 per cent of Ingot capacity’, which is about as high as it can get. Second Hour Professional operators launched an otheor drive on the industrial list following the further break in American Can. Special pressure was directed against Baldwin, which was forced to anew low for the year at 117 % on selling coming largely over Florida wires. Baldwin’s heaviness precipitated attacks on other industrial leaders and the hoje emarket displayed a sagging tendency around noon. Special weakness cropped out in Congoleum. which broke more than 2 points to 59. It was said the pool in this Issue had disbanded.

| Noon Hour Some slackening of selling pressure was discernible toward the end of the noon hour, but no rebounds took place among active leaders, which had borne the brunt of tho morning selling. Professionals evidently had contented themselves with their earlier successes and weer resting for a time to observe the effect of their operations on the list as a whole. However, the Pan-Americans continued under presurre. reaching new lows on the present decline, reflecting reports of troubles in the Mexican oil fields. Fourth Hour Selling pressure was lifted in the early afternoon, but the only effect of this development was a faUlng off in the volume of dealings, no rally taking place In the main body’ of stocks, American Tobacco issues broke 5\ points each, the “A” to 138*4 and “B" to 136% on scattered selling instigated by’ bearish advices sent out by a tispter agency. A movement which puzzled the Street was an outburst of strength in farm implement issues in face of recent drop in wheat prices. Twenty active industrial stocks on Monday averaged, 95.58, off .14 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 82.01, up .02 per cent. Foreign Exchange By United financial NEW YORK.

GRAINS CONTINUE INDATS DECLINE Legislative Measures Have Depressing Effect,

By United financial CHICAGO, March 25.—The sinking spell of Monday continued at the start of business on the local Board of Trade today. Belated liquidation was on in Maywheat and this affected other deliveries. This was induced by legislative measures and the fact that domestic prices still remain out of line with the world markets. Monday’s decline came too late to catch export business, but it was generally believed the day’s slump would bring prices within reach of bids and unless these orders have been cancelled stone wheat will be worked for export. Corn was under Influence of lower wheat and some llquldatoin. Demand remained flat and possibilities for more liberal offerings are brighter. Weak holders were the principal sellers at the start. Oats were off with other grains despite the serious crop and seed condition. Winter oats in the southern States suffered damage by frost. Although provisions were steady at the opening, the market showed weakening tendencies due to lower grains and hogs and indifferent cables. 1 Chicago Grain Table —March 25WHEAT— Prev. Open. High.

The drop carried prices 20 to 25 cents lower, with the average cost of most good drovers showing a loss of 20 cents or more. Trading was slow in getting under way, but was finally begun on a $7.60 basis, compared with S7.SO on Monday; but a few sales later were made at $7.65, compared with a similar number of transactions at $7.85 on previous trading. The top at $7.65 was a quarter lower than on Monday, as were probably some of the $7.60 hogs, compared with Monday's high time. Both sows and pi ,s were influenced by the decline, ] selling a quarter lower at $7.25 down for choice kinds and sows selling weak to a quarter lower at $6.50 down for smooth kinds. The day’4 receipts touched 8,000, including forty-five holdovers, a decided increase over Monday as the result of a larger run in the truck division. Local packing interests took the bulk of the hogs, Kingan &. Cos. having made a large purchase on the decline. Some shipping orders were in the yards, but the number was Insufficient to sustain values. Trading In the cattle department was slow and of an irregular nature, steers tending lower, while the butcher grades showed a disposition toward firmness Inrge buyers were present, but their bids on steers showed weakness from the start and heavy receipts of 1.500 head served as a depressing influence. Despfto increased receipts of 900 head, prices for veals were strong to 50 cents higher os the result of an Increased Eastern demand and choice kinds sold at $12.50 and the bulk from $11.50 to sl2.

Your Health By DR. C. C. ROBINSON BOTULINUS POISON ] OTULINUS poisoning is one of U the forms of food poison which often end fatally. It is formed by the action of bacteria on nitrogenous matter. It is found or formed in canned meat, fish and vegetables. Heat will destroy the bacillus but Sometimes the uoison will remain and can not be detected except by expert chemical analysis. This is the real danger from this form of poisoning. However, no general alarm against the use of canned vegetables is to be sounded. If the housewife is sanitary in her home canning tvork and will trice the time and trouble to boil canned vegetables, such as beams, peas, corn, asparagus and beets for half an hour before serving, the poisoning will be avoided. In the acid fruits such as peaches, plums, cherries and raspberries, this botulinus poison has practically no danger. In the commercial product put out by large canning companies there is reareiy any danger owing to the extreme care and sanitary conditions under which these products are produced. Thera are cases recorded of this food poisoning, where there was no evidence of toxic influence, and others where the food was spoiled and yet hod no poisonous effect. One reason for the high death rate from this poisoning is that many physicians are unable to cope with botulism, even after the symptoms have been diagnosed. The condition brought about by the poisoning is a true intoxication, being formed in the food and absorbed by the gastric-intestinal tract. The toxic condition causes marked throbus. ( ) formations in both arteries and veins with hyperaemia and severe hemorrhages in the menininges (membranes of brain and spinal cord) and central nervous system. Death usually results in from eight to thir-ty-six hours. Every housewife should take the precaution to boil home canned vegetables before eating. It is better to be safe than sorry. Household Suggestions Sign of Freshness When the shell of a boiled egg dries immediately on being taken from water you may depend upon U the egg is fresh. Prevent Marks Keep rounds of waxed parser under the doily beneath a vase of flowers and your table wall collect no white rings.
