STOCK MARKET , ~~~~~~~%

F New York, Feb. 14-Opening- Dealings at the outset of today's ses- sion were light and narrow, with a preponderance of declines. These ranged from one to three points in shippings, Bethlehem Steel, Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin Locomotive and Studebaker, with fractional reversals in Great Northern Ore, American Steel Foundries and other specialties. nited States Steel opened at slight recession but moderate pressure soon effected greater loss. Nominal gains were registered by Central Leather, American Sugar and Con- tinental Can. Canadian Pacific was heaviest of the railroads, yielding all most two points
 Noon-The market became increas- ingly apathetic during the forenoon with part recoveries from early irreg- ularity, except in specific instances Sugar issues reflected latest conditions in Cuba, six point drop in Cuban American Sugar being offset by a 12 point gain in South Porto Rico Sugar Railroads failed to follow up their improvement of the preceding day, a -four point decline in Delaware & Hud- son and a new low for New Haven at S8Z being among the chief incidents of that division. A new low quotation of 90k for Anglo-F,rench 5s featured the nominal bond market.

 The great task before Kerensky, it is pointed out, has been to get back home many of these mobilized peasantry classes, and re-organize the army on a fighting basis. Many of the peasant, also, it is claimed, welcome peace talk of any kind, but are not in active sympathy with the red revolution element.
 Both Trotsky and Lenine were formerly in New York, where they have friends and sympathizers, and carried to Russia with them the agitating methods employed by the radical element in America.

FOR THANKSGIVING DAY
The Only Thing Necessary Is to Have theN Price for the Things
 Needed.

The American people will not be acked to stint themselves this year on turkey, chicken, eggs or fowl of any kind at Thanksgiving, said Manager A. J. Ficken, of the Frye Bruhn market today. When people deny themselves fowl of any kind and eat other meats they are not Hooverizing, exactly the reverse. The people of Juneau will be plenti- fully supplied with turkey, chicken and other fowl this year for Thanks giving We don't know what the price of turkey will be as yet, but our supply of birds is expected to arrive on the Admiral Evans" he ] said
 Turkey, chicken, geese and ducks | can not very well be shipped to Eur | ope on account of the space they require for packing, and for the fur ther fact that they can not be pre- pared in any way.
 Pork is the main thing to save because it can be prepared in so many different ways for shipment 1t can be smoked and cured, salted, frozen and prepared in other ways Beef also can be cured in a number of ways for shipment long distances Mutton is not so important as it does not ship well. Frozen mutton is really not very good meat, and that is the only way it can be prepared for shipment" he contained when discussing the food question yester day
 Tt is probable that the price ol turkey this year will be high, but It the same time the effort of the food administration is to have people eat substitutes for meats even at the expense of their pocketbook. Every home in Juneau this year should have turkey or chicken if possible he concluded
