Buying by Railroads.

The railroads during the week placed
fewer orders for shipment. but for the
month contracts closed included 10000
tons of rails, 6,OOO cars and over 800 loco
motives. The principal rail order of the
week came from the Great Northern.
Several important contracts were placed
by street railways.
Locomotive builders booked orders for
133 engines, including so for the Baltimore
and Ohio Car orders were relatively
light. including $50 for the Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific and 40O
which the Michigan Central will build at
it's own shops
The movement of cotton goods to dis
tributing and retail markets continued in
large volume during the week. The re-
tailers were particularly active in their
purchases of wash fabrics, white goods
and dress cottOns. Domestics, prints and
staples of other characters also were
bought from the mill agents in full enough
volume to prevent accumulation.

Freer Gold in France.

News of commercial failures at i'm
portant European points threatened a
complication early in the week, but later
political news restored confidence. Freer
payments of gold by the Bank Of France
mark the passing of restrictive policy
and, presumably, of it's cause. 1t is taken
for granted that a passing of the war
scare in Europe and a removal of OBJ
structions which have tied up vast syndi-
cate undertakings in this country will
work great financial relief
The inauguration of the new President
brings a train of events which have been
potent influence by anticipation and
conjecture upon the stock market It's
near approach undoubtedly accounts for
much of the covering of speculative con-
tracts and the subsequent pause.
Inquiry earlier than usual from agri-
cultural machinery makers was a feature
Of the steel trade, although the wheat
trade processes anxiety over insufficient
moisture for winter wheat. February
tonnage of untitled orders of United
States Steel is expected to show a larger
falling off than in January. COmpari-
sons of railroad earnings are affected by
the blockade which occurred last year
in January, followed by forwarding Of
deferred traffic in February. The effect
is in favor of the January comparison
for this year.

Early in Steel Market.

The most important development in
steel during the week was the demand
from agricultural machinery manufac-
turers for steel bars and other products
to cover requirements to July, 1914
Usually such manufacturers do not come
into the market until April or later.
Anxiety to obtain early shipments on
contracts accounts for early inquiries.
New orders for steel bars, plates and
shapes continued heavy, falling only a
little short of full capacity of finishing
mills. but shipments We're even larger.
The United States Steel Corporations out
put of steel ingots was at the rate of
over $1,000 tons per day during Febru-
ary; that is. the daily average produc-
ton was greater than in October, but the
aggregate tonnage, of course, was smaller
because Of the fewer days in the month.

BURDENS ON THE MARKET
DRAIN OF GOLD IS CHECKED

NEW YORK, March 1.-The fall in
stocks this week to new low level car
ried them to point of resistance which
left speculative sentiment still undecided
as to the significance of the halt. The
accumulation of short sales created a de-
mand which was given first Importance
as an explanation of the rally. Reports
indicated some investment demand.
In this connection the fall in a number
of dividend paying railroad stocks to a
6 per cent income basis, or to a parity
with the price basis at which Southern
Pacific is underwritten, seemed to result
in lessening pressure of liquidation. This
symptom points to the Southern Pacific
syndicate undertaking as one source of
the markets burdens.

crops of fruit, alfalfa, grain, sugar

Railroad Is about to put q line
straight into the heart Of this
wealthy territory. Those who get
In before the track is laid will reap
the big profits.
You can now lille on an sO.acre

no cost except the actual cost Of
the water right-and you are given
twelve years to pay for that. Light

Birds, Bugs...Sickness.

The new federal law to protect mi.
gratory birds comes none too soon.
Encourage bird life In our little city.
But for birds, the bugs would eat us
out of farm and home! Over In our
neighboring state Of Nebraska, they
dip deep into "bugology,' and the ex-
perts over there claim that the birds
eat as high as l75 carloads Of bugs
daily, ard In Massachusetts,, 10000
bushels day.
XIII bugs, files and mosquitoes now
before they breed. One fly breeds
millions In an incredibly short time.
These pests convey contaglon
to man and beast. Many diseases
spread In this way, including infantlle
paralysis and probably the strange
sickness that killed thousands OF
horses In Kansas and Nebraska last
summer. 1t is important to your
health to screen your house against
flies, etc.

STUDENTS IN NORTH
HOME FOR HOLIDAY

University of California, Dec. IL
With the closing fthe final examina-
tion next week, great exodus from
the university begins. The Christina S
vacation granted to students extends
from December 20 to January IA, and
very few remain in Berkeley after the
last day of "exes." The numerous
steamers plying between here and Los
Angeles and San Diego are taxed to
the utmost by the student holiday traf
fic and reservations are now at a
premium.
A number of Imperial valley stud
ents are planning to spend the vaca-
tion period in the "valley." Fred
Shafer of Ell Centre, will sail for Los
Angeles on the twentieth. He will go
directly to Ell Centre and remain there
until college opens in January. Miss
Julia Conklin and Boyce Aten, now
registered at Stanford expect to leave
for Ell Centre in the ensuing week.
Imperial has four students in the
northern universities, and they all
intend to pass Yuletide in the south.
Misses Patterson and Prass are to sail
on the Harvard, December 10. Ches-
ter Donley plans to leave shortly af-
ter the twentieth. Miss Jessie Holt,
a Stanford student, leaves for Imper-
ial next Tuesday.

LEGHORNS LEAD IN
CONTEST OF EGGS

/ New York, Dec. 13-The total egg
production for the fourth week Of the
international egg-laying contest at
Storrs, Conn.,, was 755. This is a gain
of 1876 eggs over the production for the
preceding week. New pens are be-
ginning to lay almost daily. Every
pen of leghorns in the contest has pro-
duced some eggs. Several of the pens
that did particularly well during the
first ten days are now laying few, if
any, eggs.
A pen of single comb white Leg
horns belonging to Francis F. Lin
coin of Mt. Carmel, Cenn., which laid
only eight eggs during the first week,
has been first pen every week since
had score Of forty-seven eggs, and
tied for first place with the pen Of
white Wyandottes owned by Tom
Barron og Satforth, England. This is
about siXty-seven per cent produc
ton. Both of these pens have par
ticular features of interest concerning
their records for last week. Every
one of Lincoln's birds is laying. This
is the only pen in the contest
in which all the birds are laying. On
the other hand, two of Mr.. Barron's
birds laid every day during the week.
This is the first time that any bird
has laid seven eggs in week dur
ing the current competition. When
the weights of the eggs laid by these
two pens were totaled up, it was
found that there was about a quar-
ter of pound difference. The eggs
laid by the Wyandottes weighed
5 28-100 pounds, and those laid by the
Leghorns weighed 5 6-100 pounds.
There was quite difference in the
amount of feed consumed by these
two pens. The Wyondottes ate
IL 40 pounds of garin and eight
pounds of mash. The Leghorns ate
IL 40 pounds of grain and eight
$40 pounds of dry mash.

Six Women Keep Secrets

(By united Press ASSOclatl0nS)
Washington, Dec 13-If there is
any one in the United States or any
other country who does not believe
there is woman in the world who
can keep secret, let that person ap-
ply to the United States house of rep
resentatives. Any member of the
house can point out to the unbeliever
six women who keep thousands of Sc
crets, and valuable secrets, too, every
day in the year. These six women
might be called the champion secret
keepers of the country. The story Of
the six women who can keep secrets
was told today by Representative
Sherley of Kentucky to recent addi-
ton to the house.
Secrets, more than two thousand
a day, bearing on the most important
questions. of craftsmanship and legis-
lation, pass over the telephone lines
of this capitol every twenty -four
hours. and never has one been told.
Six women over there in the house
office building, plugging those switch
boards, hear these confidential talks.
'"The tariff, trust prosecutions, pat
ronage, lobbies, love, politics, cur
rency, and what not topics are dis
cussed over these wires among men
in the councils of the nation. There
are big news items. Many a story
which has been imprinted and which
would startle the curious and absorb
ing public if told is known by the
big six The male knockers who
say women can't keep secrets are dead
wrong"
