FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKED.

New York, Feb. 7.-Prices of stocks on the Stock Exchange again f1uc- tuated violently today, but not only was the downward trend of the week arrested, but in many instances stocks closed with considerable net gains over the final sales of yester- day. At the opening prices moved up from one to four points in the ac- tive leaders, due to a confirmation of Inc covering movement which started in the last hour yesterday. 4 slight reaction in the foreign exchange market during the first hour, how ever, was seized on as a pretext for further selling, and prices were marked down as rapidly as they had been marked up at the opening. In the last hour the popular high priced speculative issues led a brisk rally, influenced again by the recovery in foreign exchange rates, and the re- suit was that active issues like Steel, Texas Company, American Interna- tional, Central Leather, closed high- CT. Perhaps the strength in the rail- road department was as significant Us anything this morning. Southern Pacific, St. Paul, New Haven, Read Ing and Union Pacific closed from fractions to more than point higher. Whatever The future of the industrial may De, the feeling Is that the rail- road shares have turned the corner. 4 guaranty of a reasonable return on the capital invested might not make tEe railroad shares prime spec ulative favorites in the future, but it would undoubtedly do much to strengthen the confidence of investors in the rails and probably result i, materially higher prices than now obtain. Sterling, lire and Paris francs closed slightly higher for the day.

The roads out of the village were drifted so badly that the rural carriers did not go out. A few of the farmers with heavy teams made out to get into the village and reported very bad travelling. The heavy arrest of snow made it im- possible to get the snow blow cut, so the walks had to be shoyelled. The first train Saturday morning bring ing mali was a little late, but the balance of the trains were all late. Soaoois did not open as the children were unable to get to the school ho uses.

by that time.
There are now $4,000 pounds in
storage, with seventeen carloads still
held by county organizations most OF
which will be shipped to Fargo. The
market tho very\ sluggish, is begin
ming to pick up. Fine wool is bring.
ing from So to 60 cents. This would
bring three-eighth blood, our prevail
ing grade, to about SO cents. Very
little is moving at these prices.
1t is hoped that grading can be
completed by Jan. LIST. Efforts will
then be made to sell direct to the
mills, thus eliminating middlemen's
profits. 1t must be borne in mind
that we are pioneering in the field
Of marketing. Much detailed work
of organization must be worked out,
blazing the trail every step Of the
way.
The Federation is not holding the
wool from the market to raise prices,
for our total pool is only about one
per cent Of the United States crop,
but rather holding until an opportune
time arrives when reasonable price
can be secured.
Beginning Oct. 1st, Mr.. j. w. Haw,

letin on progress Of State Grading and
