The heaviest falls occurred In portions of Mississippi and Ala bama. An area of high pressure and low temper ature has moved In from the northwest, centered today near Kansas City. The ad vnnee of this high has caused falls In tem perature In Texas of 2U degrees to 22 de grees, and In the lower Mississippi valley of 10 to 16 degrees.

If this damage continues It Is going to affect the stock market and we can not advise people to buy stocks even at present prices.

It was noticeable Monday that houses with Western grain nnd ether couuectlons were sellers or stocks, which was taken to meau that they placed a good deni of faith In the stories of crop damage.
