Mr Pantoil, Patt'e father, had a«ked

hut hi a reiiuest had not been granted
Yet this did not Impair the friendship
between Penny and little Winona, tka
superintendent's 10-year-old daughter
She and Pan were great chums and rods
together almost every afternoon
Winona's pony was a rrettlly spotted
one called Dixie, and lien had a small
black horse known us Hawk. One bright
afternoon the two children started out
early for a long trip.
"He sure aivl be home by 4 o'clock.”
said Mr Panton ”we are going to ahoot
a well at that time and 1 want you to be
here to attend to something for me.”
••Shooting ' a well Is the way one ex
prwaert the fact that a terrible explosive
known as nitroglycerin Is let down
through a deep hole made in the earth
and Is set off down there—it shatter,
the ground and rocks, sends up cloud,
of .tones and dirt, and oil shoots high

took the bit between his teeth, stuck his
head downward and plunged onward He
was pointing straight for the oil wells.
When a well is “shot” the men all run
away as fast as they can to a safe dis
tance to be out of reach of the explosion
which follows In crowds they were run
ning now. Pan could see that the shot
had been dropped and that In a few
seconds there would be an explosion, yet
Pixie was nearing the spot with long
leaps. If he reached It, the explosion
would kill Winona.

WEEK’S TRADE REVIEW
New) York.—Hradstreet'e save today:
Further progress In trade accompanies
greater Industrial activities. higher
prices, better collections. Increased de
mand for money, record hank deposits,
■harp reduction In unemployment,
heavier payrolls, a big movement In
grain and lower temperatures over a
wide area, which latter has given snap
to retail trade In seasonable wearing
apparel. Rain ha* helped winter wheat
and cold weather far South as put a pe
riod of Colton growth. Final purveyors,
short of goods as they are and feeling
certain of sustained growth tn business
are buying freely from wholesale house,
as well a* from Jobbers. While order
ing for future delivery Is not neglected,
the necessity of getting goods for near
future use le very marked and In some
sections of- the country heavy-weight
fabrics are positively scarce. Holiday
trade Is proceeding on a satisfactory
basis.
Weekly hank clearings, 94 948.541,000.

WEEK’S FINANCE REVIEW
New York.— Increasing price Irregu
larity and smaller dealings were the
chief characteristics of the week in the
stock market Trading lost much of
Its recent vigor and breadth and to
wards the end even professional Inter
est began to lag.
As a group, the metal shares were the
underlying force, all prominent Issues
adding to previous advances. There
was considerable profit-taking however
and that fact together with the publica
tion of the terms of the disintegration of
the Guggenheim Exploration resulted In
recessions of two to three points from
the top.
War shares of almost all descriptions
were under Intermittent pressure and In
side liquidation, with occasional sub
stantial losses but some of the motor
stocks, particularly General Motors,
made new maximum..
United States Steel rose and fell with
in a narrow radius, that stock being the
especial objective of the short Interests
Conditions In the steel Industry have
lost none of their high promise: If any
thing demand Is on the Increase and for
many finished parts in excess of pro
duction.

strength of exchange on London was the
most noteworthy development, liquida
tion of American stocks anu bonds by
London diminished steadily as exchange
on that centre rose.
There was a better inquiry for high
class railroad and short term notes as
well as the preferred stocks of the bet
ter known industrial companies. Octo
ber reports of the leading railroads will
soon be at hand and they are expected
to show increases over tne very excellent
statements of the preeding month.
WEEK’S COTTON REVIEW
New York.—The cotton market has
been less active during the past week
with fluctuations Irregular. Reports of
killing temperatures In the belt and a
bullish view of Saturday’s consumption
figures were followed by a spurt of
buying which carried the price of Jan
uary contracts up to 11.95 on Monday,
but reactions of 30 or 35 points followed.
The publication of private crop esti
mates of 12,000,000 bales or over, In
cluding llnters, failed to Inspire aggres
sive selling at the decline and the mar
ket showed a steadier tone toward the
end of the week In sympathy with
Southern spot markets and talk of mod
erate ginning returns.
Purchases of about 25,000 bales attribu
ted to Russian trade Interest* helped
check the decline during the middle of
the week, while the firmer ruling of
sterling exchange and gradually dimin
ishing stocks at Liverpool have tended
to color the predictions of an Improved
demand from exporters. A good part of
the week's business has been attributed
to a transfer of Liverpool and local spot
house Interest from near to late month,
or to the evening up of accounts for
over the census glnrlr.g figures expected
on Monday Private returns were said
to Indicate a ginning of about 8.730 000
bales to November -th. A conslderabls
difference of opinion remained In evi
dence as to the probable showing of the
governmer fs crop estimate, which Is dus
