At first selling In the corn market was
very active as a result of bearish conclu
sions drawn from statements of National
Wheat Director Julius H. Barnes. Besides.
reeerpts of corn here today were larger'
ana mere was also a drop in hog values.
Later, however, the force of the Barnes
statement was minimized by the fact that
spring wheat was selling at the highest
figure on record and that even chicken
feed wheat was quoted at about equal to
the government guarantee. Then came re
port sindicatlng that the supply of rail
road cars -showed little improvement. Good
upturns during the latter trading fol

FINANCIAL
New Tork, Jan. 12. Another deficit in
clearing house reserves, stlffer money rates
and continued abstention of public support
constituted the chief deterrent factors of
today's reactionary stock market.
Failure of the United States supreme
court to act on the stock dividend case
and widely circulated but unconfirmed re
ports that several Important Mexican oil
districts had tustained damages from
earthquakes provided the shorts with ma
terial to depress prices.1 -
There were soveral neutralizing features,
notably the very favorable tonnage state
ment of the United States Steel corpora
tion for December, and encouraging busi
ness advices from western and southwest
ern points. Aside from the relative firm
ness of United States Steel shares, how
ever, these developments exercised no ap
parent Influence.
Rumors were current that negotiations
were actively progressing for th'e consoli
dation or merger of several of the second
ary steel and equipment companies, but
these met little credence.
Oils and motors were heavy almost from
the outset, but it was not until the final
hour when call loans rose by successive
stages from 10 to 18 per cent, that the
selling and consequent declines became
quite general.
As usual thore were a few rtocks which
stood out for their comparative strength,
especially itoyal Dvtch, and some of the
less prominent oils and equipments. Ralls
also resisted pressure, but trading In that
division was light at best. Sales amounted
to 1,075,000 shares.
The bond market presented no new fea
tures, apart from a moderate accession of
activity. Liberty bonds and rails eased
slightly, but internationals, as represented
by Anglo-French 5a, were steady to fiim.
Total sales (par value) wore $15,500,000.
Old United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

The Uneasy Feeling the Lonesome
Shore Awoke in Madge.
"Well, Madge, how does this suit
you? ,
Lillian, with her hands-clasped be
hind her head,, her whole body re
laxed to a pleasurable idleness which
I had rarely seen in her, occupied
an immense and comfortable old
rocking chair in one corner of the
screened square porch which was
the pride and chief attractiomof our
shack. , '
'Upon a cot nearier, with plenty
of pillows piled at my back, I half
sat, half reclined in luxurious ease.
We were directly facing the bay with
its wonderful sand and beach. In
the distance the hills of Shelter isl
and made my satisfaction with the
scene complete. I think I must have
been a mountain woman in some
previous incarnation, for I am never
really at home unless there is a hill
somewhere in my horizon.
Rest and Contentment
"I don't believe I was ever so
comfortable in my life," I returned.
"But did you ever see anything
equal to the energy of our relatives?
If I could feel fatigued in this brac
ing, salty air I think the spectacle
of Marion and my father would in
duce the feeling."
Lillian laughed lightly, but there
was a tender note in her voice which
always comes at any mention of the
child she idolizes.
"Marion and your father are hav
ing the time of their young lives,"
she said, "and it would take a Phila
delphia lawyer to determine which
is the older if he judged by their ac
tions alone. It certainly was a lucky
thing for Marion that you decided to
have your father come with us."
"I think it was a lucky thing for
father," I smiled, pointing lazily to
my respected parent, the picture' of
content, who was dodging sliowers
of sand from Marion. The child
was adorably pretty in the bathing
suit in which she had practically
lived since our arrival, and she evi
dently was riotously happy with
her elderly playmate.
"Do you fully realize our blessing
in having the place practically to
ourselves?" continued Lillian a fej1
moments later. "I never have been
able to understand the mental quirks
of the average summer resorter who
flies back to the city on Labor day,
no matter how wonderful the weath
er he leaves behind him. Septem
ber is the best month of all at the
seashore to my thinking, and while
I deplore the judgment of the people
who have left I also tender them
my sincere thanks, for they certain
ly have left the wilderness to thee
and me."
I shared her sentiments fully, and
there was nothing in her words to
cause me any uneasiness, yet as she
finished speaking a little premoni
tory shiver ran oyer me. I had-a
sudden frightened feeling of being
alone and unprotected in the
"wilderness" of which she spoke.

away through the woods. My fa
ther slept there at night, leaving the
bungalow forSLillian, Marion and
me. We all camped upon the out
door sleeping porch with no thought
of fear. Indeed, we had not even
locked the doors in the two nights
we had thus far spent in the house.
But I privately resolved, even as
I scored myself for my cowardice,
that I would personally fasten every
lock hereafter.
"It is ideally quiet." I hastened to
make the banal response, afraidthat
Lillian would detect my momentary
panic. But I might have saved mv
effort. " y"
"What's 011 your mind, old dear?"
she inquired with a lazy smile, after
a moment's scrutiny of me. "Afraid
your friend, Mr. Hainbridge or
Bridgeham, or whatever he happens
to call himself now, may decide to
niake us a little visit?"
"I haven't once thought of him."
I replied indignantly and truthfully,
although once she had spoken I real
ized that my tremors might very
well be the sub-conscious result of
my secret terror of the man she
named.
- "Well, if you haven't you will
soon," Lillian retorted, "if you begin
to let yourself get woozy on the
subject of loneliness. Don't think
I'm blaming you. You've had
nervous strain enough this summer
to make you into a whining weakling
but if I know you and I think I do
you'll pound any stray general ter
rors you have into aulp.
"But at that I think you'd better
stick around close to me for a few
days until you pull yourself to

Quod est demonstrandum."
She spoke lightly, carelessly in
deed her carelessness was almost too
elaborate to my excited imagination.,
Twondered if she perhaps suspect
ed some danger, or at least unpleas
antness menacing us, and meant to
keep me with her for that reason,
