FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL WALL STREET GETS BACKSET BTOCKB HAVE BHARP DECLINE ON EXCHANGE FOREIGN CONDITIONS REMAIN UNDISTURBED Rumors Regarding Copper Cause a Decided Flurry In New York. Prloe of Metal Goes Down By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Sept 23.— The rise in securities prices, which showod signs of gaining head way toward the end of last week, was brought to a rather abrupt pause today. The Infl'J'nce which produced this effect wan traceable prln- Olpally to foritan sources. ' Sterling exchange In New York advanced. The effect was to revive again tho considera tion of the requirements before the money mar kets, which will be normally largo for tho next month or six weeks. The foreign trade show- Ing of the United States for August came In for pertinent consideration, the features value of exports to the nominal figure of $1,833,352. From tho standpoint of the com mercial poaitlon, the showing was accepted as subject for continued congraulatlon. not only for the sustained volume of exports, but also for the heavy Imports, the two Items going to make up an aggregate of foreign trade far In excess of all precedents and eloquent or tne measure of prosperous conditions. But from tho standpoint purely of the banker and the borrower of money the exhibit has an other significance, coming at a time when for eign credits are looked to for assistance in moving the crops and are usually drawn out by anticipation for that purpose. As a matter of fact, tho value of merchandise Imports for August offer no new feature, the excess over the corresponding month of the previous year being no greater than has been shown In every month, with one exception, of the present cal endar year. The enormous consumptive requirements ot this country and the high prices prcralllng for all commodities are the cause of this devel opment. Conditions In the popper market also reassert their effect on securities markets, both here and abroad The price of the metal showed a violent decline In London. Rumor was busy at the same time with sug gestions of comlnc reduction In dividends on the copper stocks. Other metal Industrials were most affected In sympathy, but the whole market was unJer the depressiifc Influence thus The resumption of the Standard OH hearing, expectation of a decision In the Chicago & Alton Immunity question, and belief that a de termination was imminent on the troubles con fronting the New York traction companies were- contributing factors In the backset In the A strong Impression was created also by the sharp reaction In the Now York city 4V4 per cent bonds, owlni? to the great stress which has been laid on their advance as evidence of an Improving Investment situation.

ANGRY MOB NEARLY HANGS WRONG MAN Mistaken for Striker Who Shot An. other, Detective Is Cut Down Just in Time PITT3DURG, Pa.. Sept. 23.— 1n a des perate tight between union and non-uniu!i workmen In the Lawrenceville mill dis trict shortly after midnight this morning, in which the police also participated, J. K. McCollough, a county detective, was mistaken for a non-union man by an angry crowd, which got a rope, placed it about his neck, threw the other eivl around the croSEarm of a lamp post and had the detective dangling in the air before the mistake was discovered and he was lowered to the ground. Emp'.oye& In several machine shope in the district are on a strike, and John Anderson Is a non-union man employed In one of them. This morning Anderson was going to work when he met John Manning, a union man. A fight was Btarted during which several shots wore exchanged and Manning wae so seriously wounded that he Is In St. Francis hos pital, where It Is said he cannot recover. McCollough was on his way home and heard the shots. After Manning had fallen mortally wounded a big crowd col lected and McCollough started In pur suit of Anderson. They engaged In a running pistol fight, In which almost flf eten shots were exchanged. The crowd kept closing in oit them and finally cor nered McCollough, whom they mistook for Anderson, who had made his escape. The mob was past control, and before McCollough could make his identity known some one had got a ropo and placed it about his neck. When Mo- Collough's feet were off the ground and he was very near to death some one noticed his badge on his vest. He was hastily lowered to the ground iind soon revived.

When the rigor of the Norwegian winter Is considered, one Is lkelv to ascribe this physical well-bear ing to the survival of the fittest. But the splendid physique is also due not only to the widespread Bystem of physi cal development in vogue, but to the pe culiarly suitable food eaten. Hence, an inquiry into the Scandinavian dietary Is valuable and Interesting. The customary food of the nation is or the soup-and-stew order. This results In a large quantity of nourishment being taken In a liquid form, and renders the diet one easy of digestion. Nations em ploying food in more solid shape require more liquid in the form of drink; but this unfortunately leads to a dilution of the digestive fluids and renders them unable to act on the solid food in the necessary concentrated state. It is thus a matter of no surprise that few Norwegians suffer from indigestion; indeed, it Is easy to see that many of the dishes, as a result of their mode of pre paration, are to an extent predlgested. In this connection It would be well to point to the effect upon tho nation's teeth. Naturally the possession of perfect teeth Is a guarantee of satisfactory mastication, the first stage in the assimilation of food. But the nature of the food taken deter mines to a large extent the condition of the molars. There is no more fruitful source of dental decay than the retention of meat fibers hetween the teeth, in suoh a way that before chemical action has re leased them the opening pressure and acid reaction from the fiber have ofter induced injury to the dental enamel. This idea Is borne out by tho fact that in Norway, whei-c roast meats are the exception, the condition of the teeth compares :nost favorably with that of our countrymen. Take Juices from Food The aim ot Norwegian cookery would appear to be, not to retain the Juices in the food material, but to abstract them, and, after the cellular formation of the food has been broken down, to return the juices to the dish. For this reason Nor wegians regard English cookery, which attempts to retain the natural Juices in Joints and poultry, as "one-sided." They regard England as the country of "ona dinner and one sauce." But if joints are a thing unknown In Norwegian cookery, it is rather a fact to be anticipated than wondered at; at leaet, if one has ob •orved the quality of the meat exposed for sale. For, in spite of the fact that tha beef and mutton are officially stamped with a triangular blue impression before sale at the Kjordkontrol, the meat is poor stuff indeed— skinny, dark and dry. and sinewy as an Arab steed. As a set-off against the inferior meat, the Norwegian housewife has a supply of fish which can be bettered hy no country In the world, and of which every advantage Is taken. In Norway as in" America, three meals are eaten per day — breakfast, "mld daeg" and supper. "Kafte," taken an hour after dinner, corresponds to our tea, though the beverage is coffee, and only fancy cakes are allowed to accom pany it. At breakfast porridge is usu ally eaten, and the sausage (übiquitous in Norway as in Germany) Is always in 1 MEMBERS 6OLDFIEXD STOCK EX- CHANGE.

In this form only is horseflesh em ployed; and every variety of sausage Is sliced and eaten thus upon the bread with or without butter. On Sundays and Thursdays the staple article of breakfast is "biff." This consists of pounded beef, which Is seasoned and afterward shaped Into a solid lump and then fried with onions. It has much the flavor of good steak and naturally offers no difficulties to mastication. The rich brown gracy, always served with this dish, is one of the many tri umphs of gTavy production which the nation enjoys. Dinner Bill of Fare Mid-daeg, as dinner is called, la the staple meal of the day. The most note worthy thing about the meal Is the great variety of soups. Not only are flesh and vegetable soups prepared, but sweet soups and porridge are common. Rice porridge, flavored to taste with butter and cinna mon, is much affected, besides raisin soup containing tapioca, apple porridge (con sisting of apple slices stewed in oat meal), and fish soups. The Norwegians above all things understand the art of preparing fish. One of the most appetiz ing ways of eating this article of diet is as fish balls, for which the fish is boned and pounded and stewed after being rolled into balls. Meat t/alls are prepared the same way. When meat does appear as a Joint it Is usually under the guise of boiled mutton, and this dish is gen erally followed by prunes stewed in tapioca. The national Saturday dinner wilt not appeal very appetlzlngly to our intular minds, for it consists of raw pickled her rings (pickled in brine), with raw onions and boiled potatoes. The Norwegians claim for It that in this form none of the nutriment is lost. An imported dUb, which bids fair also to become a national dinner, Is a delicious Spanish dish, resemb ing olla podrida, which is made up of finked cod, baked with sliced potatoes, to matoes and rich gravy. Supper la a hearty meal, taken about 7 o'clock in the even ing. Among the various dishes in custo mary use are meatballs, "slid" salad (her ring salad, made of pickled herring, on ion, sage and parsley, minced and eaten cold), bruised fish and potatoes served hot, and steaming dried fish. During kaffe, the sort of Informal meal which has already been mentioned, a great va riety of fancy breads and cakes is eaten. NO EBCAPE Six months ago friends came to mo And said It wan the time to sell; I listened to them - patiently, I had no doubt they wished me well; But others who were In the game Declared to me that things were low- Confound those, fools who hay« no »hame, And will remark. "We told you »o." Now friends of mine declare that I Can win by taking their advice; They say It Is tbr. time to buy. That things have touched the bottlm But who can tell? I still recall A slump thers was some yean ago; I bought and saw the bottom fall— My friends each said: "We told you so " If I should dare to buy today, The prices would go lower yet, And If I tried the other way We'd have a boom at once, I'll bet. One friend advises, "Walt awhile." Another save: "Buy; things are low." No matter which has guessed it, I'll Be forced to hear: "I told you so." —Chicago Record -Herald Beyond Our Grasp High overhead a shining star May still to us this lesson teach.
