NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—The reduction in the Bank of England official discount ruts| today had a strengthening effect on securi- | ties markets in all the grect financial centers. The open discount rate in Lontin | has been in the neighborhood of 1 per cent below the bank rate for some time and |the Bank of England from banking profits. Its measures to force up | the money rate and attract gold to Lou- | don have been at the cost of a profitabie | share in banking business for the time. | The reduction serves as a notice that the | safeguarding measures had been more | than sufficient. | The exigencies of the British budgnt répection have proved less, cvi- dently, than was anticipated. The re- | duction of the rate came in spite of addi- | tional Jarge withdrawals from tha bank today for shipment to South America. The | question presents itself how far ‘he | diminished requirements. of the London | | money market may be due to a halt in trade activity. The general effect of the | lowered bank rate was cheering to finan- elal markets and was a orime factor in the strength of the New York stock. mar- et.

A werfes of discussions of highly techni- cal subjects occupled the American Breed- ers' assoclation at the Rome hotel last night. “Dr. Charles B. Davenport, Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, N. Y., led the evening program with a talk on “The Dif- ference Between Homosygous and Heter- ozygous Characterisiics.™ Prof. C. C. Guthrie, University of Pittsburg, spoke on graft hybrids, and R. C. Ball, Washington, D. C., talked on the breeding of grain sorgums. A number of other lectures and talks of similar nature , followed. « * The Breeders' association ‘will meet aguin this morning. " Three men of national reputation ad- dressed the meeting of the association at the National Corn esposition. Thursday morning and each advanced some idea which set their hearers to thinking, H. J. Waters, dean of the.Kansas Agricultural collexe, took the stand that breeding was secondary to good feeding when it pame to & matter of putting broad hips on eattle. The other speakers were Willet M. Hays, assistant secretary of agriculture, and Prof, W. J. Spiliman of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. “It you would have a big. broad steer you must see that he s well fed from his youth,” said Deéin Waters, speaking on “The Influence of Nutritfon on Ani- mal Type, or the Effect of Feeding on the Types of Animals.” “Students have always approved of the #tand that heredity plays the most Impor- | tant part in sheping cattle and have en- deavored to accept the theory that feed and cnvironments were secondary to hered- ity. 1 will try to measute the 4nfiuence of nutrition and leave the:balangs to docount for by bheredity While Mr. Waters 16'now at the head of the Kansas Agricultural college he worked out the theories advanced while counected with the University .of Missourl. “In studying beef ocattle fed in different ways it has been found those heavily fed widened and developed mueh moré symet- rically, while those more eparsely fed grew in helght. When cattle are taken to the ranges they scon reach the sunfish type, narrow chested and &leping. croups. This shows appar¢htly M a3 question of nutrition and comes generally in the first generation. ““The causé is iAdicated to be PAr{If: me- chanical. Fill the stgrpash and;ygu dis- ' | tend the ribs and that pressure may extend for Increased width on the graupd of feed alone, or it may be physiologiépl.

Splllman of the. . Btates Department of Agriculture, in g on ‘Application of the Principles of ity to the Improvement ot mal & ks “The highgr all third of these clasges. while of onfons: which are. Mtni “The second clses - inciudes those . nmi which, under ordinary conditioms, there is little or no cross fertilization. The most important crop In this class are wheat, |oa.tl and barley. “The third class includes those organ- lsms in which cross fertilization normally occurs. It includes all the higher animals Amongst plants there are some species in which cross pollenation is necessary to seed production, but generally speaking most plants in this class are what we describe as open pollenated Vegetatively Propagated Crops. “Since, the earliest attempts to lmprove crops by selection the opinion has prevaled that It was possible, by selection, to pro- | duce almost any kind of change that was desired in a crop. This opinion was based on the fact, which has been thoreughly established, that if we select a large num- ber of individuals an account of excellence in some one character and continue such selection from year to year, without keep- ing our selections separate, .we do get gradudl improvement. | That is, mass selecs tion gradually changes a crop in. the direc- tion of the selection. “One v ting deduction from the law of récombination s this; that when a horned animal crops out in a polled breed, or & red &nimal oceurs in & black breed, both of the parents of such an animal are impure with reference to the character which crops out. A few horned calves are born in all polled breeds, which simply means that there are some Individuals la the breed which are not pure bred with reference to horns, Likewl & few red calves ococur In all black breeds of cattl which show that some individuals of the breed are not pure bred with preference the black eolor, “By taking advantage of the law of re- combination it is possible to produce almost an Indefinite number of new breeds, breed- ing as true to type as our present breeds. Private Agencies at Work, Wiliett M. spoke of the organiza- tions of private agencies as well as publio which were assisting in the work of ad- vanced breeding of plants and animals.
