THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Metal Review

New York, January 26.--There is feeling of optimism in the steel ahd iron trades with regard To the lower ing of freight rates on export mate rials. Inquiries from foreign interests are heavy and several large tonnages in shipbuilding materials have been credited to our allies. The leading steel concerns are at present inquiring through their special representatives abroad as to opportunities for the continued manufacture of materials for shipbuilding.
 There is also strong movement on the part of the steel interests to search for agricultural lines to which their plants may be adapted, thus aid- ing the readjustment movement and employing a maximum number of workers. Employment in the steel in- dustry is falling off somewhat despite strenuous efforts on the part of tho manufacturers to keep labor employed. The pig iron market is unsettled, the existence of two prices and high freight rates initiating against normal movement. Coke prices will pass from government control February 1. The copper market continues quiet with quotations nominal at from IS to 23 cents,
 Lead is quiet at 5h cents and inter- ests are eagerly awaiting government action regarding the validation of war contracts. Spelter is weaker, prompt shipment being quoted nominal at around 6.S5 cents.
 In tin it has been announced that the United States Steel Products com pany, appointed sole importer of tin allotted to this country by the inter- allied tin executive, has been granted
 power to enter all orders from consum- l CTS, provided that the amount is not less than 100 pounds. Formerly lots less than 25 tons gross were handled by jobbers, The tin market is very quiet

Weekly Financial Review

New York. January 26,--Liquidation incidental to the transition period was less obvious in the securities market last week than in general lines of trade and industry. In the main, the market tended higher, though this wa not especially obvious in the invest ment list
 Peace problems, notably the railroad situation and uncertainty as to commo- dity prices, were among the most per- plexfng features and to these were ad- ded signs of uneasiness in the field of labor
 Outstanding financial developments included announcement of the forna- tion of a powerful group of American financiers to take up new British loan and the removal of long stand ing credit barriers affecting collateral loans.
 The latter action does not imply tha. money Is to be on free use for specu- lative purposes, as the authorities of the stock exchange will continue to exercise partial control over brokers borrowings.
 Traders for the long account derived some satisfaction from the maintc- nance of the Bethlehem Steel dividends accepting that incident as an index to the possible action of the United States Steel directors at their quarter ly meeting next Tuesday.
 In general, however, the immediats future of the steel industry offers ,it- tie announcement new business still running behind post-war cancellati tions Further curtailment of operations was reported in the trade and conditions ae fecting coppers and allied metals wore equally uncertain.

When Pershing Hazed "plebess

From the Worlds Work.
 As the inventor of the Jumping jack" Pershing made signal contributioi to the happiness of the upper classmen. The inspiration came to him in the sumver camp of 'S5, when Pershing was q cadet captain He would get line of plebes out in one of the company streets" per haps 20 or 30 of them standing one be- hind the other. He had them "count off so that each one knew whether he was odd" or "even" In the line. Then, when Pershing pulled an imaginary string in one direction, all the odd" plebes would have to throw their arms out at stiff right angles to thelr bodles when the imagn- ary string was pulled in the opposite di- rection, the odd men would drop their arms, and the "even' men would jump their legs out V-fashion. Then the im- aginary string would be pulled in the first direction, and the legs would jump in and the arms jump out. The plebes. Of course, had to execute these jumping jack maneuvers with absolute precision, If tactical officer happened by Per- shing immediately forgot his inmaginary string and was engaged in drilling the men.

worth no more than IL sired by a
scrub, 1t would then cost $500 to pro-
vide one good pure bred parent for
the twelve heifer calves, which are
raised each year. or SO per heifer.
Where else can such an investment be
found? Three dollars expended brings
in an average return of over 81 per
year for six years, OF $43.85 in all.
This makes a clear addition Of S43.85
to the income OF each daughter, or a
net profit of $40.S5 and OF $1,47O for
thirty-six daughters in the three years.
Here is nearly 100 per cent profit on
the investment. The original cost of

the $1,470. 1t really pays as nothing
else on the farm pays. to put into the

mixer. that is, would give milk for 4
longer time in the year, and she would
regain her now of milk after an un-
avoidable shortage Of feed, as in a
summer drouth. The daughters GER
tainly may be credited with 1000 more
pounds of milk than their dams pro-
duced. At the low estimate of 81 90
per 100 pounds this extra amount of
milk would worth $1,000 per year. The
average COW is a good producer for
at least six years, or until she is eight
years old. 1t will on the average be
four years after purchasing the sire
before his first daughters will have

dollars and twenty-three cents kept at

The Craftsmanship
OF Emil Garrison

The evidences OF an unusual tribute
paid to living painter may be seen at
the Macbeth Gallery. An exhibition
there is composed of works by Mr.. Emil
Carlsen and all fifteen Of them are
from one collection, that of Mr.. Robert
handley. How often does an amateur
thus demonstrate his enthusiastic
faith in an artist? Mr.. Hand)ey has
been we'll rewarded. For one thing,
the painter to whom he shows such
devotion is uncommonly versatile.
MIR. Carlson has produced landscapes,
marines, portraits and studies of still
life- In the last mentioned he has done
his best work. but everything that
bears his name is interesting and of
value.
Inc preface TO the catalogue, by Mr.
Duncan Phillips, contains some sug-
gostlve information. 1t seems that in
his youth at Copenhagen Mr.. Carlson
was trained for the profession of ar
chitecture. This, as Mr.. Phillips sur
misses, may readily account for the
craftsmanship which is one Of his
best resources. There is no great quail
lty of style in his drawing 1t is, in
deed, little hard. But it is notice
able for purity and precision. Wit
ness in this exhibition the refined ex-
actitude of the charming little "Por-
trait Of Dimes" and, even more, the
delicacy of contour which the painter
always secures in the Oriental vessels
and kindred objects portrayed in his
studies of still life. AS a virtuoso in
he exploitation of vases, pots, pans
and the like. Mr.. Carlson is a disciple
OF Chardin, but also the child of his
own time He seems sophisticated
where the old French master is almost
naive. His harmonies of color are in
genious, complex beside the simple
serenity and breadth Of Chardin. He
hasn't anything of the latter's weight
and mellowness. But his work has
great beauty, just the same, which is
sufficient recompense for the differ
eDces between him and his renowned
exemplar. 1t has the beauty of color
manipulated with feeling, taste and
skill. There is trace of poetic emo
tion in t.is artist 1t comes out in his
pictures of forest and sea in such a
luminous study Of the Venetian sky
as his "On the Giudecca" and it is
manifest in the subtle loveliness of
tone in which his pictures Of still life
-nveiop insensate things. His paint
ngs are brilliant achievements as
hey stand Time should give them d
wonderful patina.

Peterson's "Bathers" are present in

The exhibition covers almost every
subject from Josephine Newton's ami

There are landscapes, still life studies

In the part of the show devoted to

statuette of young girl dancing and
tiny statuette of little dancing boy
are the two most striking features.

William Blake
At the Grolier Club

The Grolier Club might not unrea-
sonably be regarded as the custodian in
this country of the fame of William
Blake. In 1905 it held the best exhibi
ton of him which up to that time had
been arranged here, and now it presents
another Blake collection, more remark
able than the first. This show is made
up of books, prints, drawings and manu-
scripts. 1t is memorable to a certain
extent because of the rarity of many
lay particular stress upon its represent
ative quality. Blake was an Unbalanced
man of genius, whose true worth is only
to be got at through processes of dis
elimination. He produced some fine
things and some rubbish 1t has been
said Of Dante, "He has his commenta-
tors, which is one reason why he is
never UNDERSTOOD" Blake has had his
rhapsodists, which is perhaps one reason
why his merits and his defects have
often been mixed in welter Of confu-
sion. The value Of the show at the
Groler lies in it's frequent illustration
of his art at its best.
1t was an art wreaked upon its visions
of a phantom world Blake had a feel
ing for form akin to that of Michael
Angelo, with the difference that where
the Italian saw the truths of nature and
invested them with the grandeur of his
imaginative style the EngIishman
clouded his view of fact with mystical
emotion. He dreamed dreams, if ever an
artist did So The poet and literary man
in him was always urging the hand of
the craftsman. Hence many a craving
of his in which reality is submerged in a
kind of grandiose rhetoric. But when
his dreams are matched with conscious
ndss of the verities of q visible world
he is profoundly impressive designer.
There are some magnificent drawings
at the Grolier, magnificent in the sweep
and force with which they clothe majes-
tic ideas in noble form. This is poetic
as much as it is an artistic exhibition.
1t is, in fact, even richer in thought
than in pictorial beauty. There is no
