NEW YORK STOCKS SLOW, FIRMER,
WITH SMALL NET GAINS-STEEL
VERY STRONG.

It was the prevailing sentiment among
commission houses that the coming
week will see a change for the better In
the market, matter which will depend
largely on the crop reports from the
winter wheat belt. The Supreme Court
is mentioning, and speculative manipu-
lars are free TO start a movement ~on
the assurance That nothing to cause I'M
easlness will crop out from that source.
While the leaders are having breath
ing spell, 1t is likely that they will be
helped by bullsh speciality operations
here and there throughout the list.
The best houses advise the purchase of
the best rails on slight recessions and
specialties also, while coninihg indus
trial orders to leaders and with stop
order protection as an invariable rule.
The technical position of the market
seems satisfactory; the short interest in
steel is large, and only fair in the
rail list.
me bank statement was interesting
and favorable. because of increased re-
serve and deposits, but the more so be-
cause II is the last in which the banks
show alone; the trust companies will
report with the clearing house state
ment next week.
Stocks that are favored by commission
houses are Erie. Rock Island. Katy,
Hill shares, Southern Railway ard
mission houses are advising caution in
trading in Steel, and margins are de-
manded beyond requirements when
trading in rails.
The French chamber of commerce de-
clares that the recent warning sent
Paris on American securities had refer
ence only to wildcat speculative securi-
ties and not 10 American securities put
on the market by reputable financial
houses.
London advices are that the Birkbeck
failure may foreshadow some liquida-
ton, and that the value of the banks
securities has been greatly overesti-
mated.

In view Of the successful celebrations

will eclipse all former efforts. The
Aero Club has accepted the invitation
of Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of

of the proposed events, upon the gen.
erosity of the citizens of the District
Last year no trouble was experienced
in raising S3 900, the sum desired by the
committee. This year the program as
outlined will demand an expenditure OF
5000.
Requests for Donations.
Letters asking for donations have
been sent tn all those who contributed
last year, and similar requests will be
made of citizens whose names are not
on this list
Contributions should be sent to George
w. White, treasurer of the safe ana
sane COr0HlIlee lnt III VI SN'sB

sideration of plans for the celebration.

of the last two years and will include
public exercises at the District building,
day and night fireworks, band concerts,
and athletic and swimming contests.
The regulation prohibiting the sale or
explosion of fireworks by individuals
will be strictly enforced. This will not
apply. however, to the holding of sub
