VOLUME OF TRADING
 SMALLEST OF YEAR =
Activities in Financial Dis trict Largely Curtailed as
 Result of Storm

New York, March 2.--Activities in the financial district were largely curtailed today by the storm which kept brokers from the exchange and customers from the commission houses Delay in the malls and interruption of telesraphic communication to houses reduced outside business to a minimum. The volume of trading was the smallest of the year.
 London sent over u lower rang. of prices and then cabled selling orders of about 15,000 shares. This was about the only positive influence on the home mar- ket and was mostly responsible for the days movement. The decline was of small proportions, only a handful on the standard shares falling a point or more.
 Leaders favored the short side. beiev ing that the technical position had been weakened by the driving in of tre shorts last week. The unfavorable bank state ment of Saturday and additional railroad reports for January showing large de- creases in earnings, also affected the list adversely, New York Central January net falling off $3,654,0O0.

CROP DAMAGE HAS
 ARALLY|NG EFFECT
The Market Opens Steady at Price 1-4c off to 1-4c.
 to 3-Sc Up

Chicago, March 2.-Incipient crop dam age caused a rallying effect on wheat, and probably the July delivery. As result the market opened steady at prices from 14c off to 14@asc up compared with Sat .urday night. Corn made a net gain of is0l4c to ssc, and oats of1-16Gisc. In pro visions the finish varied from a shade de- cline to a rise of 7lac.
 Something of stampede occurred among wheat spectators who earlier in the day had been rather free in selling short on account of the absence of re- ports that autumn sown fields had been injured by weather. They ran to cover when scattering advances came from Nebraska. Missouri and parts of Illinois that alternate thaws and freezing had worked considerable harm. It was the first this season that the crop damage news appeared genuine
 Weakness at the outside came partly as chance of an official report from Indiana that the acreage there was 9,152,- GOO. as against 9,2ssOoo year ago. The general supposition had been that India would have little or no wheat for export.
 Corn showed unusual strength, prices ranging even when wheat was on the de- cline.
 The trade in oats was light. but values hardened in sympathy with corn.
 In provisions packers were good buyers. but on the ensuing bulge there was con siderable selling of q speculative sort
 In the end the market ruled easy.

 Our Golden Text
 The heart of this lesson Is found in verse 3T. which refers to alI of the Lord's < servants who in the earliest stages of His second coming, in the time of His Parou- sia. His presence, will be faithfully watch ing, alert to serve every interest of the Lords cause to the best of their ability. These will be informed respecting the time. as the Apostle points out.-1 Thes- saonians 5:f-s
 The secrecy observed respecting the time and the manner of Jesus second coming will prove to be a strong test. Al the Lords consecrated who are over charged with the cares of this life-busi- ness, pleasure, etc.-will be slow to hear the knock; and even when they hear. they will be too much engrossed to give proper heed
 However, there will be a great blessing on those servants whom the Lord shall find watching-not watching the sky. as though they would see Jsus, when He is now spirit Being. invisible to humans. but watching the Bible testimonies, watching the trend of the times, watching their own hearts, watching also the inter- ests of the Church of God. seeking to build one another up in the most holy faith. Let all who claim to be the Lords servants. as we'll as His brethren. be found of Him in peace. seeking first the Kingdom and it's righteousness. helping the Bride to make herself ready.-Reve- lation 2:19; 19:f.

Suppose the care of house and small family devolves upon an intelligent wo- man who believes it her duty to keep her self as well and strong as possible. How would she go about this. regarding the and other household utensils as her ap- paratus? This is the regime outline for her.
 For the Housewife
 After good nights sleep in well aired room. rise sufficiently early to do 10 minutes breathing exercises, take a cold bath or salt rub and dress properly for housework. By this do not mean a loose wrapper thrown over an uncorseted or badly corrected figure and turnover shoes. woman who attacks her days work clothed in such fashion hampers herself as much as if she were to tie one arm to her side. Think a minute of the many discomforts and useless movements that come from such slack dressing and you will see that this statement is not an exaggeration. Tomorrow.

LITTLE SHOW OF LIFE IN COTTON MARKET Prices Tend to Sag Under Dullness; Close 6 to 8
 Points Off

New Orleans. March 2.-With communl- cation with other markets cut off by the storm the local cotton market made little show of life today. Prices had tendency to sag under the dullness and closed at a net loss of to points. Weather con- ditions over the cotton region were favor able and led to more or less selling in the hope that progress in new crop prepara- tions would result. Scalpers were inclined to take the short side, but bought covers on small recessions which steadied the market and brought about several partial recoveries.
 The large amount of cotton on ship board at ports in this county caused much bullish comment and led to predictions of heavy March exports. At New Orleans and Galveston about 10000 bales were cleared for export during the day. This was the main bullsh influence.

TRADE IMPROVES ON COLD WEATHER Demand for Eggs and Poul- try Is Especially Good.
 Prices Stationary

Business on Morris %savenue started off with a good demand yesterday due, the merchants think, to the cold weather. The demand in the poultry and egg market was especially good aud fish dealers, too, felt the good effecte of the cold. Prices are practically sta- tionary.
 In the produce market the merchants said they were glad to see the cold because if 1t did not help business 1t would at least prevent the necessity for buying ice. The demand however. was good and supplies are consistent.
