WOOL.

The WOO market has not been with
out elements of strength. and activ-
ity. Fine woods seem near their apex
inasmuch as medium and lower grade
wools are gaining favor. The reac-
tiOn which wool traders have long
Drophecied will assuradly take place
i'll some degree Quartr-blood staple
woOls have begun TO move after
long period of Stagnation. The re-
cent London auctions have been in
firm tone and Il similar condition was
predicted of the Boston auction Of
Australian wool beginning January 90.
LOwbred crOssbreds are everywhere
neglected. Littl wool has been sold
in Nevada recently. The government
has some SO,OOO,OOO pounds of wool
yet to auction off. A large proportion
is inferior wool. Fine woods continue
very scarce.

"The Farmer as a Community and
Business Builder" by C. G.. Jordan.
state senator from Pennsylvania:
"The Farmer and the Farm Market"
by e. 7. Meredith, president of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World; and "The Farmers Place in
Americas Business" by Senator Ar
thur Capper.
Both labor and business are seek
ing the farmers aid and goodwill. 1t
is certain that neither will receive the
farmers aid unstintingly to the detri-
ment of the other. The farmer will
endeavor to co-operat with each, while
maintaining at least measure of his
traditional independence.
Republican leaders have withdrawn
active support from the Mondell bill.
designed to nrOvide for the recama-
tiOn and settlement Of arid lands by
returned soldiers, according to reports
that emanate from the capital. 1t is
hardly probable that either house Of
Congress will pass the Mondell bill
or a substitute during this session.
Interest is subsiding, and the farm
er's opposition has made itself felt.
The wave of gratitude toward the
soldiers. following the armistice, nat
urally sought concrete expression. The
Lane plan resulted. While it has
something to commend it, the public
with time for reflection is question
ing whether some better means of ex-
preston might not have been found.

WHAT is ICE CREAM
Opinions Differ as to Constituents OF

What, pray, is ice cream? Dietary
detectives have said that it may be
a combination of moistened milk pow

MARKET
REPORT
STOCKS.

The call for an international finan-
cial conference will tend to stabilize
the market by improving the foreign
trade outlook, upon which so much
depends. Many corporations whose
stocks are selling high ,owe their alb
normal prosperity to exports, and can
not maintain their present level Of
activity for long If exports fall abrupt
ly. The market has been in a good
position to advance, but few traders
have the temerity to prophecy bull
movement under the money. 'i
Brokers feel that Federal reserve
board action now is directed more at
commodities and real estate than at
the stock market. Nevertheless re-
cent low call rates have been regard
ed as deceptive and no true index Of
conditions and marked relaxation is
not expected unless general prices be-
gin to decline. Margins are wide,
and New York banks are said not to
be unduly committed to stock mar
ket loans.

GRAIN.

Continued light receipts, due to the
scarcity of cars, support the corn
market and remain the major factor
in the grain trade. While signs of
improvement bob up at various points
and intervals, the situation is far from
satisfactory. Farmers who are anxi-
GUS to dispose Of their holdings must
continue to hold. Committees have
been appointed to investigate the situ-
alton and seek mans of relief. While
lack of export demand, Argentine
shipments, and further decline in
rates of exchange were contributing
bearish factors, lower temperatures
and an advancing hog mart tnded to
lift grain. Removal of the blockade
against Russian exports had a tempo
rarily weakening influence. Oats
bears were fairly aggressive, but the
trend Of valus in genera. has follow
ed corn. R,ceipts in, .,roved, while
seaboard dAn nd ru,eu uncertain.

LIVESTOCK

The public has curtailed it's pur-
chases of beef, materially affecting
cattle prices. Trade was active. A
peculiar condition arose when cheap
er grades becam NOR popular than
expensive stuff. On some occasions
feeder stock sold at any sacrifice.
While hog receipts exceeded re-
quirments occasionally, lively compe-
titiOn btwen shippers and peculators
aided the market. The big predicted
run of porkers failed to materialibe
last week and prizes moved upward.
Packers We're inclined to balk at the
advance.
New high prices for January We're
established i'm the lamb market. Small
supplies and the strength in wool have
bulled this animal.

Demonstrating Gear Lubricant.

An interesting demonstration is being
staged this week IL the show window
on French street at Third Of the Auto
mobile Equipment, where in a specially
arranged box the Crew-Levick special
Gear Compound is shown with gear
train in motion. The compound is seen
to have some of the qualities claimed for
it,such ss its tendency to cling to and cover
surfaces of the gears, while flowing smooth
ly, at once coming TO a level when the
motion of the gears ceases and as a matter
of course, keeping the gears quiet when
they are moving. These points being in
evidence, one is willing to grant the other
claims made, of being clean and pure and
retaining It's consistency, not wearing
thin.
This is only one of the special compounds
for various fabrication purposes made by
these manufacturers, all of which are
handled by the Automobile Equipment
Company.
