New York. Jan. 29.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
Business on the stock exchange could
scarcely have been duller than it was
today The performance from begin
ming to end was little calculated to hold
the interest of any save the limited
number of floor traders who went
through the motions of keeping the ma
chinery going.
Price movements were mixed within
a rather narrow range at the opening
and they soon developed Il reactionary
tendency as it became apparent that the
ranks We're Caling in iouuS, inc call
money rate renewed at 10 per cent ana
by mid day had advanced to IA per cent.
OUT the stock lust was under pressure
lur only half hour or so and then re =
covered in somewhat IabOrlouS fashion.
At noon stocks We're selling sub
Stantiauv above the Wednesday closing
eve, and there they held in the absence
OF either demand or supply. The steel
group was quite COlorless. The motors
presented the only SHOW OF ANIMATION
on the constructive side, General
Motors. Chandler, Stutz and Studebaker
DONG pretty wei most of the time.
Inc oil shares were consistently
heavy and sluggish to degree. Amer =
lcan Can stood out as IA strong spot,
wnI,r tnc marlucs the papers, Brooklyn
RAND transit ana some OF the tobaccos
wct 9 on the other side of the fence. lhe
rnilS were under pressure, If almost
complete neglect can be called the eXer-
else of pressure.
Virtually no attention was paid to
news devclopments. The street has be-
come wcaricd 10 death with the ups and
downs in the fortunes of the peace treaty
conference and hardly less so with those
dealing with the future Of the railroads,
The White House and the railroad
administration alike were credited with
the statement that no matter what Con
gress did between Low and March | III
the way of legislation, the roads would
be returned to their owners on that date,
according to pan. 1t will be recalled
that the same thing was asserted last
December, only few weeks before the
step was deferred and before it was con-
clusIvc.y shown that railroad legislation
could not be enacted in time.
The market merely drifted in the last
hour. sometimes above and sometimes
below the high levcl of the day. General
Motors was one of the few issues which
continued to climb, gaining some :
poiut-. II was in this period that j.
q Der cent was exucted for Call accommo
dations. but the only effect was to cut
the youmC of transactions Stli further,
if that were possible
Liberty Bonds We're fairly steady, al
though the later offerings were under
some slight pressure.

COVERING BY SHORTS
HELPS CORN PRICES
Trade Lacks Snap Owing to Un-
satisfactory Shipping Situa- :
tion-JuIy Oats Strong

ChicagO, Jan. 29.-Buying against
indemnities and covering by shorts, in
duced by tirmer tone to the cash ar
ticle. rallied corn futures today after
they had been depressed early because
of disturbed financial conditions and
poor buying power.
Trade lacked snap, owing to the un-
satisfactory shipping situation. 1t was
said that the supply of cars was Il little
better in parts of Illinois and Nebraska,
but no improvement was noted in the
East. The weather was good through
out the West and the forecast was
favorable.
Rec eipts remained light and it was
predicted that there would be only 100
cars here tomorrow. Cash wheat and
rye gained ground.
Oats also stiffeped after .irregularity.
May was under pressure and acted easy,
but recovered. July was stronger on
buying credited TO export interests.
Sales of $50, 900 bushels of oats for
shipment abroad We're reported at the
seaboard, and premiums on the cash
article were marked up. Shippers were
nervous on account of difficulties in get

LOCAL TRADING CONTINUED
or SAME SNAIL DIMENSIONS
Dissolution OF Rapid Transit Co. Totng Trust Is Wi,ho, A
Special Significance

The volume of dealings on the local
exchange continued of the same small
dimensions, and was likewise, except in
a lew scattering instances, unproductive
OF essential change in prices. The trad :
ing was of the familiar perfunctory
character which has been witnessed for
several weeks, lacking both initiative
and feature of interest.
With so little change in money con-
tltlons, and with little prospect of apy
material .cbdhge in. the immediate fu-
ture, IT is almost useless to look for
any appreciable alteration in the stock
market conditions. Leading corpora :
tlons gre paying from 81 tt per cent
ior Short term financing accommoda-
TONS. SO there is little promise of, any
great extensions being made in loanable
funds tpr stock market purposes. I
r .Nominally time and call money rates
are quoted at the legal rate of the
state. namely 9 per cent. 1t is cx-
tfemeiy doubtful, however, that much
money IS being placed at that figure. AS
a matter of fact, most of tho loanable
INSTITUTIONS have little to place. At the
same time it is generally known existing
iUqns are invariably reduced, when rc .
newal requests are made.
With money, practically commandinp
between 8 and . per cent, it is bot6
logical and natural that the ayera 90
investment return of leading issues
should be, as it is, on a 71s per cent
basis. Money always finds its level and
money rates govern the value basis 81
investment securities. Just at the mo
ment. however, it is not SO much a
question of rates as it is the ability to
obtain accommodations. No doubt In
10Th the stock market and business cir
cles there is willingness to pay rates
which in normal times would seer
nrohibitive'if the goods were only forth
coming. . ',s'
About the only noteworthy feature
attending the limited trading during
the session was the continued offering OF

The Garden Of Gethsemane.


Asia Magazine: So it Is well. as
we leave the gentle allurement OF
flowers in the Garden of Gethsenane
and turn toward the city. that our
hearts have first been filled with
serene Joy. We regard the fearfuliy
tried city with something OF the COM
passion that the Master felt for it.
Seventeen times destroyed bitterly
hated-anxiously saught-how des-
perate a history since Nebuchadnez-
ger captured it more than twenty-five
centuries ago. And only the other
day, it seems, at Christmas time IN
1917, Jerusalem was captured again,
this time by its friends. the British,
after an agreement with the Turks
that the city itself should not be
bonn barded. There was some signS-
ing on the Mount of Olives. and recon-
noitering airplanes dropped a bomb
or two in and about the Garden OF
Gethsemane. But Jerusalem has been
captured for the last time. and the
last offensive was devoid of evil.
Redeemed today, but in her naked
ness. Jerusalem waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace, no covering
for her ugly wounds. Some day her
sides will glisten with the brightness
of a heavenly radiance; she will be
washed and anointed like a bride
waiting for the bridegroom.

When 1 WcEaH IS NERVOUS WORRIED

The lives Of most women arc
full Of worry. Mems troubles are
bad enough, but women's are
worse. Worry makes women sick.
It pulls them down, and in their
weakened condition they are sub
ject to pains, aches, weakness, back
aches, headaches and dizzy spells.
Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
Any woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten-
ton to health would brighten up
her life. If she asks her neighbors
she finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription benefits a woman's
whole system. It not only acts
upon the troubles and weaknesses
peculiar to women, but is an ALE
round tonic that braces the entire
body, overcoming nervousness,
sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness
and a rundown condition.
D1xoF, NEBR.-uF For the young girl
developing into womanhood there Is
nothing better than Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription as a tonic and
builder. At that TIME of my life was
sadly in need of something to strengthen
and build me UP and found just the
tonic needed in the Prescription.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Des Moines Capital There has
been much talk about the farmers
striking and about their Inability to
strike, yut they have evidently found
a way. There will be much sympa-
thy with them because they have been
badly hit by the spectators, the eff
forts to reduce the high cost of living
and in every other way They have
right to strike. There is nothing
IN the Cummins- Esch bill which pre-
vents them from striking. The ia
nous law even permits railroad men
to strike.
Hampton Chronicle: The biggest
robbery in the United States at this
time is the print paper trust, but it
does not worry the Wilson democratic
administration to any great extent.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
Farmers strikes can not be pulled off
any more than can housewives strikes.
There are too many of them and they
all act Independently of one another
Selling when prices are the lowest,
however. is poor policy for the farmer
who does not have to sell.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The far
mers of Iowa are not going to buy
many new automobiles on the prices
and profits of their crops this year.
Forty cents for oats does not mean
even Ford car prices. And so it is
true that manufacturers and town
folks generally also are interested in
prosperity for the farmers. 1t is the
purchasing power of the farmers that
makes times good.
