New York Stocks Today.
New York, Oct. 14. Steels, equip
ments, oils, coppers and tobaccos
were the prominent features at the
dull and irregular opening of to
day's stock market, rails represent
ing the weaker shares. Republh".
Steel. Baldwin Locomotive, Mexican
Petroleum, American Smelting.
Goodrich and Tobacco Products
made gains extending from substan
t:al factions to yj points. Nickel
Plate, one of yesterday's strongest
features, lost one point and St. Paul
reacted a large fraction.- Exchange
on Lcndon and continental Europe
eased slightly.
The indifference manifested by
traders towards the firmer trend of
the money market indicated a trans
fer of speculative interests to the
long account. Call loans opened at
9 per cent, the highest initial quota
tion in many weeks, but favorite
stocks continued to advance. Motors,
oils, equipments and sugars reg
istered gains of 1 to 3 points, while
Delaware, Lackawanna & West
err, was conspicuous among the rails
at a 6-point advance. The few back
ward issues included Norfolk &
Western, Atlantic Coast Line, Vana
dium Steel, Consolidated Gas and
Laclede Glass.

How We Care
For Your Meat Cars
When you see a Swift Refrig
erator' Car going by in a train, it
seems a simple thing that it should
be carrying fresh meat up and down
the country.
Like most of the packer activities which
contribute to your welfare, you are so used
to having this going on uninterruptedly,
day in, day out, throughout the year, that
you are likely to take it as a matter of course.
But it is not a matter of course. Every
car you see going by means kmg hours of
minute, scientific, painstaking care in prep
aration for what it is doing.
Every time a car comes in it is washed
out thoroughly with scalding water. If any
taint, any foreign matter, were present, this
would get rid of it Even the meat hooka
are taken down from the racks and scalded
with water and live steam.
When the car is thoroughly cleansed we
put in 5,000 pounds of ice. But that
. is only preliminary. It only cools the car
to the proper temperature. By the time
the car is moved over to receive its load,
this first ice is melted. More is then
put in to keep the car cool.
Then the meat is hung on the sterilized
hooks and the load of food is ready for its
journey. It arrives as it leaves, clean,
fresh, wholesome, appetizing; and your
meat supply goes on unaffected by seasons
or weather.
This is only a part of the service which
Swift & Company furnishes, at a profit
to itself so smallaveraging a fraction of a
cent per pound on all products over a period
of years-that if the profit were handed on to
the consumer, it would make a difference of
less than a nickel a week in the meat bill of
the average American family.
