Brokers Advise Caution

The general character Of the market
letters sent out by brokerage firms last
night showed they were non-committal
as to the future course Of prices. For
the most part the advice vas given to
adopt a conservative policy regarding
taking on new commitments, as it was
felt that the market would continue to
mark time for a while. In some houses
there was a disposition to wait for the
secondary reaction" that sometimes
follows rebound after slump like
that which took place on Wednesday.

The average price Of eight principal
iron and steel products, according to
this weeks issue Of the Iron Age" is
70 cents q ton lower than a fortnight
ago when the average stood at S8034
The present average is S79,64. The
decline Is attributed entirely to the
lowering of the quotation for steel bars

900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $1000o0,000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not In
Guiding emergency supplies was ex

To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year. the American Red

DIR. Riley Celebrates
His 18th Birthday

Living on borrowed time DR.
Elihu S. Riley, lawyer author, his
torian and journalist, celebrated the
seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth
yesterday. The occasion was quietly
observed at home surrounded by fam
lily and friends. and congratulations
were showered upon the distinguished
Annapolis Historian. DR.. Riley comes
of distinguished Maryland and Vir-
ginia family, who helped to make his
tory for both states. His ancestors,
whose families had been in Virginia
for two generations, came in 1649
from this commonwealth with the
Puritans, to Anne Arundel county.
The Maryland founder of DR.. Riley's
line was John Brewer, whose son,
John Brewer, married Sarah Ridgely.
daughter of Col. Henry Ridgely. DR..
Riley's parents were Elihu S. Riley,
Sr., descendant of Barnabas O'Reiley,
of Pennsylvania, and Anna Maria
Ferree. the latter of Hugenot descent.
DR. Riley is the author of many
books. some of which are History of
Annapolis" History of the General
Assembly of Maryland" and other
books and pamphlets on historical
subjects. In January DR.. Riley issued
book entitled Modern Annapolis
and Rley's Historic Map of Annapo-
lis" He has now a book in press
called "a Thesaurus of Anecdotes and
Incidents About Stonewall Jackson"
Although three-score and fifteen
years. Dr. Riley is in splendid health,
and as active as many men OF fifty
and sixty years. He enjoys long
walks into the country, appreciates
nature and hikes daily into the woods.
DR. Riley has brilliant mind, and
at the age of 20 his mental condi-
ton is perfectly healthy. He is
close student, deep thinker and a
ready writer. His numerous friends
hope he may enjoy many other happy
birthdays. and his life of usefulness
be prolonged.
