MARKET YIELDS
Attributed to Technical
Position of Exchange,
Weakened by Advance.

New York, Feb. &,-Stocks were re-
dictionary today and closed with losses
ranging from one to two points In the
most active issues. The total volume
OF business done during tile session
was less than on Thursday, but the
decline was attributed to the technical
position of the market, which ais said
to have been considerably weakened
by the advance of the last two weeks.
Many issues were declared to have
been over bought and they naturally
receded when the buying power be-
came exhausted. Commission houses
were advising clients to take profits
and wait about a week, when II rs
expected that the upward movement
which is now becoming known as the
spring rise is expected TO be resumed
Brokers said that it is character
istic of a market which had had new
high prices in the averages to re-
verse itself temporarily Immediately
after having done so and recede sew
eral points. Such temporary re-
versal is always due to the fact
that it takes a big volume OF trading
to get stocks into new high terri
tory and in this process certain IA
vorite stocks become overbought and
proht-taking results.
American Car and Foundry was one
of the industrials to touch a new
high price for this year. the COM
mon stock advancing to S4S-S on
urgent buying.
general feeling has prevailed in
the Street the last few days that
the movement in the tobacco shares
was over. so that there was much
surprise when United Cigar Stores
became active at sharp apprecia-
tiou in price which carried 1t to the
new high level OF 129 3-4. which was
four and one-haf points above the
previous closing.

emulation of Erie shares today.

APPLE MEN DEMANDING
BOXES Be BETTER MADE
Wenatchee Growers Open NegOtia-
tions for Seasons Supply
Want Better Grade

While few apple box contracts have
been closed, negotiations are being
conducted by all the leading purchas-
ers with a view to establishing a
standard price for the coming season.
Both growers and shippers are insist
ing upon better grade than was sup
piled last season. Complaints are nu-
merous of boxes collapsing in ship
ment and molding and mildewing
due to the lumber not being properly
seasoned.
The mills are busy getting out lum-
Der so that seasoning takes place be-
fore manufacturing commences. 1t is
stated that one contract was recently
closed for 100000 apple boxes on the
Sound at Id cents. The usual price
asked is Is cents for heavy specifica-
tions of pine. The contract was for
spruce lumber, this being some that
had been purchased by the govern
ment for airplane work and sold at a
reduced price at the close of the war.
The Skookum Packers association
is now negotiating for the seasons
supply of boxes and the price fixed
will probably govern the market in
the valley.

LEGISLATURE APPROVES THE
GflIATlY GULL APPLE BILL
Hot Fight on Gellatly Measure, Which
Permits Shipment of Fruit
Under Ban

"Bootlegging in apples" was
charged in the three-hour-long debate
in the house Monday afternoon over
the Gellatly Gull apple bill which was
passed SO to SO after the hardest
fight any measure has seen in the
house this session. The bill took up
the entire afternoon and the house was
compelled to hold night session as a
result.
The eastern Washington legislators
who voted against the bill are: Ander-
son, Kelly and Adams, of Spokane,
Atkinson and Kirlman of Walla
Walla, Bunker of Okanogan, Coleman
of Ferry, Hubbell and Short of Kit
titas, Sawyer and Lucas of Yakima,
Long of Franklin, Miller of Klickitat,
Moores of Benton.
Gellatly of Wenatchee led the de-
fense of the new measure and the at
tack on the present law, which is de-
clared to flagrantly violated now by
the growers who believe the present
law is partial and partially enforced
and by the by-products companies,
which are said to wrap the better
class of Gull apples and sell them for
the good fruit that they are after.
The growers, it is said, have been
compelled by reason of the law to sell
these Gull apples in bulk at low
price ostensibly for manufacturing
purposes. Sawyer of Yakima was the
main speaker against the new bill and
in defense of the measure under which
Washington state fruit has gained a
worldwide and enviable reputation
for it's quality and honesty of pack.
Kelly of Spokane pointed out that an
industry of this state with S25,000,-
900 annual income was endangered.
The arguments became warm at
times, six and seven members insist
ing that they be heard. The indorsers
of the Gellatly bill urged the right of
the producer to sell his fruit for just
what it was, asking only that there
be no fraud practiced. The defenders
of the present law could not refute the
charges that the present law was be-
ing flagrantly violated or that under
the Gellatly law thousands of homes
in industrial centers would have apples
which they can not now afford.

THE WASHINGTON CHILDREN'S
HOME

DR.. C. Thwing, district superinten-
dent of this most worthy institution,
which, by the way, is located in Sc
attic, was here this week on one of
his occasional visits soliciting funds
for the home and incidentally making
inquiry about children in this locality
who might be entitled to the benefits
of the Washington Children's Home
Society. Homeless children are taken
to the Home and trained and educated
and when suitable home with respon-
sible citizens is found, where children
are wanted, they are placed. A rec
ord is kept of all so placed and occa-
sional visits are made to ascertain if
they are properly cared for. Some
twelve or more have been taken from
Chelan county, and of these homes
have been found here for several chill
dren. The Home depends largely on
volutary contributions and is entitled
to the support of the public. It is do
ing excellent work.

GREATEST ATHLETIC EVENT
EVER SfEN--ALLIED ARMIES
Paris, France, May and June-Amer-
lean Soldiers Will Compete With
The World

What is believed will be the
greatest athletic program ever known
in the history of the world has been
planned for the American army abroad
by General J. J. Pershing, comman-
der of the A. E. F. At the generals
request the Y. M. C. A. will undertake
the responsibility of the leadership of
this extensive athletic movement,
which involves no less than the partici-
patton of the entire army. The pro-
gram as planned will continue until
the American army finally leaves
France. The Y. M. C. A. is now Sc
lecting its men to help in directing
the activities as conceived and these
will include none other than the best
all round athletic leaders in the world.
General Pershing's plan calls for
three distinct groups of activity.
First, mass athletics in which every
one takes part. Each platoon will or
ganize several teams to compete
among themselves to decide the pla
toon winners, the winners to play with
each other and the losing teams to
continue playing among other sched-
uled teams. The games are to be ar
ranged so the men will have athletic
recreation every afternoon of the week
for a period of several hours. This
has been skillfully arranged by Gen
eral Pershing in his order and he has
given the men the option of eight or
nine hours military drill each day or
a short drill in the morning and phys
ical recreation in the afternoon.
Secondly, there is projected an ex-
tensive program looking to the de-
velopment of division championships
in such games as football, soccer, base
ball. track and field athletics and the
like. Each division championship
team is to be sent to Paris in May to
compete for the army championship
in its particular sport.
Thirdly, General Pershing has al
ready issued invitations to the Com
mander-in- Chief of each of the allied
armies to send their best athletic
teams to Paris where they will COM
pete in the Inter-Allied Army Olym-
pic chamionships to be held in tn latter
part of May or June.
Athletic authorities regard each of
thesSDrograms as greater than any
thing of the kind in the world, or that
the world has ever seen, and the three
together as the most colossal that will
ever be seen.

LEAyENwORT ELKS WENT TO
WENATCHEE

Some fifteen members of the Elks
fraternity went to Wenatchee Tuesday
afternoon to attend big building re-
vival meeting in the evening. The
Elks have under consideration build
ing a fifty thousand dollar temple
in the Red Apple city some time in
the future. Plans have been drawn
and were on exhibition in this city,
where there are some forty members.
It is understood, however, that build
ing for the immediate present has
been delayed by the high cost of ma
terial. When they do decide to build,
as a result of the delay, the building
will likely be more pretentious.
