The Louvre Not So Much.

He was evidently an ex-s0idier and
an art lover The first you could tell
by the American Legion button he
wore, the second by the artistic touch
in his manner and theme of speech.
Another youth was sitting near
him on the steps of the city library.
He may or may not have sought art
as Emerson paints it for Us.
"Dfdia see the louvre when you
were in Paris?" asked tie youth who

WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-In absence of constructive developments, the Secur1- ties market this week entered upon another period of liquidations, the de- cline receiving substantial assistance from an emboldened short interest.
 Selling was most active and price impairment most severe in a number of low grade promotions issues, espe cially oils and a few shares of no spe- cia1 classification. The reaction ulti- mately affected other stocks of a more stable character.
 Among issues exempt from the gen. eral decline were rails. metals and rela tive industrials of the steel divisions. U. s. Steel, for example, continued to reflect it's strong tonnage position. The money and foreign exchange markets contributed largely to the shrinkage of quotations. Demand loans manifested marked relaxation, but time money was almost unobtainabIe, even at S12 per cent for the short dates. There was cumulative evidence that drastic measures were contemplated if neces- sary for further restriction of credits.
 Partly because of last and more men acing conditions in eastern Europe, but mainly because of continued delay in affecting remedial measures, foreign exchange once more moved strongly against London and European centers. The sterling rate fell to $3.6SA, or within four cents of the low record

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Flushed with their recent successes, short in terests in the stock market made fur ther efforts to unsettle prices today.
 For time their attacks caused Q sharp reversal from the strong open ing, leaders in the high priced specu- latiye divisions, notably General Motors, Crucib1e Steel Mexican Pe- troleunn, American Woolen and L. s. Rubber. recording gross declines of 3 to 10 points.
 Substantial buying orders set in while the list was under pressure and most losses were largely retrieved. Final prices, notably in stocks which featured the previous days setback, were at or near highest levels. Sales amounted to 525, 1000 shares.
 Active domestic bonds, including speculative rails, were slightly higher. but liberty issues continued extremely irregular on reduced offerings. Total sales. par value, aggregated $6.S60, 900. Old United States bonds were un- changed on call during the week. Full filling general expectations the clear ing house statement showed a substan- tial increase of actual reserves effacing last weeks deficit and leaving mod erately large excess.

the manner in which the schoo! affair

manently paved, and from that point
on would be improved. This roadway

company stating that such service
would be put into operation shortly.
