FINANCES and MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Feb. S.-(Wall StreetD Much of the optimism which effected a general elevation of prices yesterday was lacking today.
 Trading was lighter and more con- tracted than at any recent session. Comparative strength and activity was manifested by several of the independ- ent steel issues, notably Colorado Fuel, Great Northern Ore. Republic Iron and Steel, giving rise to fresh rumors of deals or combinations, in which Mid vale Steel figured. United States Steel was under intermittent pressure.
 Initial dealings indicated general firmness. which soon gave way to pro- nourced irregularity in the more active issues comprising the munitions and oil groups and such rails as Canadian Pacific and Baltimore x Ohio. Losses were largely retrieved before midday.
 Total sales amounted to 440,000 shares
 General news of the day was almost wholly constructive, embracing a quo tati0n of 2 cents for June copper. with higher prices for more immediate delivery and withdrawal from the mar ket until the last quarter of the year, by one of the large steel producing companies because of it's inability 10 accept new business until that time.
 Sterling rates ruled firm, likewise francs, while remittances to Germany and Austria strengthened visibly.
 Bonds were irregular to heavy. with further extensive trading in Anglo French 5s. Total sales par value ag- sracated S37S5,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

woman trainer could get a position. I
love the sport and can stay i'm the

who needs a woman to train horses
