NEW YORK. January 2o.-The per-

Bethlehem Steel attracted further at

Ell PASo, Tex. January 2O.-Under
drab skies. thousands of soldiers on the

LONDON DULL, BUT CHEERFUL
War Loan Again Firm, Canadians
Strong and Active Features.

LONDON. January 2O.-Money is prac-
tically a drug on the market. and the
issue of 100000 pounds sterling Rus
sian treasury bills to replace a similar
amount falling due will be welcomed
by discount houses. which have little
opportunity to utilize foreign balances.
The huge amount of British treasury
bills falling due is swelling the sur
plus, and balances will be forced into
the war loan. which is already going
well.
The stock market was dull. but cheer
full. The 3h per cent war loan was
again firm. Canadian mining corpora
tions were strong and active features
and oil stocks and a few Kafiirs were
steady. The movements otherwise
were uninteresting. American securi-
ties were idle around parity.

WEEKS MARKET FACTORS
LARGELY FOREIGN ORIGIN
Continued Abstention Of Public In
terest Is Shown in the Limited
Amount Of Trading.

NEW YORK, January 20.-Foremost
features Of the week in the financial
markets were largely of foreign origin,
including the completion of the new
British external loan. reduction in the
ton in rates of exchange on Petrograd
and Rome to new low records
The new British loan is the most at
tractive. both as to interest Weld and
conversion clause, of any yet offered in
this market. The lower British bank
rate seems to be chiefly sentimental in
Its effect. inasmuch as the great dis
count banks of London have not met
the new minimum quoted by the Bank
of England.
AS for the increased discounts in Rus
sian and Italian exchange, with recur-
rent weakness in remittances to the
Teutonic countries, these were partly
neutralized by irmness in sterling and
francs. with actual strength in ouota-
tons on Switzerland and the Scandi
navian capitals.
Daily Turnover Relatively Small.
Further abstention of public interest
served to curtail operations on the
STOCK exchange, the daily turnover
pelng relatively small and more than
ordinarily restricted to leaders and
speculative -favorites. gross decline
OF "A points in Bethlehem Steel excited
some comment. being accompanied bv
gossip respecting the future financial
and dividend policies of this prominent
war bride"

states Steel and minor equipments and
munitions. mostly were firm to strong
Coppers regained some of their recent
losses on stiffening of the metal mar
ket. accompanied by prospects of the
placing OF additional large orders for
oomestic and foreign consumption.
Rails were the most backward fea-
lures. showing an irregular trend on
nominal offerings. Some of the high
priced specialties moved upward on in
timations or increased disbursements,

Active buying on the part Of houses
with seaboard connections was witnessed
on Thursday, and there was renewal
of strength in prices. Nevertheless,
heaviness again developed in the mar
ket on Friday, chiefly owing to rising
rates of marine insurance and because
of an accompanying notable slowing
down of export transactions.
Corn reached the highest price ever
known for the May delivery. S1.02A
bushel Argentine crop damage, which
sharpened European demand, was the
main factor with the bulls.
Oats merely reflected the action of
corn.
Hog values at the topmost January

Because you first loved me,
And since my birth you've ever beer
The dearest friend to me.
You cared for me when / was young
Watched Ger me night and day;
And my love for you grows deeper
As you grow old and gray.
I wore rose on Mothers day
In honor of your love,
Yet sweeter than the flower
Is the sweetness of your love.
A man may have a host of friends
Der all this great wide earth,
But she whb is his best of friends
Is she who gave him birth.
Oh, may God bless and keep you
For many, many years,
And give you lots Of sunshine
With scarcely any tears.
May all your days be peaceful,
BE filled with hope and joy,
And may you live for many years
Are the wishes Of your boy.

Why Living Cost Scars

Linked up with all the war talk
that pervades the atmosphere along
the Potomac are explanations about
our old friend, the high cost of liv-
ing. Economists are freely predict
ing still higher prices, and it is said
that they will shortly reach the most
extreme point in the history Of the
United States. Forty million men
who before the war devoted their ener-
giles to creating foodstuffs are now
engaged in a life and death struggle
to destroy all crops, and while doing
this they are consuming vast guam
titles.
Another reason advanced is the
fact that this years crops Of all
countries are short and that the Unit
ed States is the only nation in the
world that produces enough food to
supply its own needs and at the
same time has enough to export also.
The annual food bill of the average
American family has jumped from
$4,000 in 1913 to $425.54 today. In
the last ten years the advance in the
cost of food has so far oustripped
wage increases that a workman who
drew SO a day in 1907 today finds
himself just 60 cents a day worse
off.
The heaviest increase in food prices
during the last four years is shown
in potatoes, the cost of which has
risen for each family from 1896 to
$44.69. Other large increases are in
eggs, from S33.01 to S43.07; -four,
1852 to- $3.50; butter, S45.72 to
$54.7S. of the whole list of foods
only sirloin and round steak are
cheaper than five years ago.
