Frank Lozar Post last Sunday even
ing was well attended and Thoroughly
enjoyed by the local legionaires. In
view, of the evident popularity of
this type of entertainment it is very
likely that such meetings will be made
a feature of the posts activity in,
the future.
The body of Sergeant Philip White
is on the way back from overseas.
Funeral interment will take place
at Clear Lake, Minn. The local
post is comforting with the st. Cloud
Post in making arrangements to do
proper honor to the <remains of Sgt.
White. An escort from the local
post will go to Clear Lake to attend
the funeral and to assist the st. Cloud
Post.
Arrangements are being made to
create a Monument fund in the post
treasury. The recent donation of
one hundred dollars, given by the
Mothers Club of Ely, forms the
foundation of the fund and a fixed
proportion of all receipts excepting
dues will be placed in the fund. The
post expects to erect Monument
to the Soldier dead of Ely before
Memorial Day, 1920.
The adjutant is corresponding with
other Minnesota posts to arrange for
securing rifles for ceremonial pur-
poses. Posts throughout the country
have been trying for over year
to secure old army rifles buJ thus
even the National organization of the
legion has not been successful in
this regard.
Bulletins from state and national
headquarters advise that the entire
work of distributing Victory Medals
has been taken over by the American
Legion. All persons who have beer
in the service, whether members OF
the legion or not are urged to take
advantage of the service offered by
the local post. The amount of rec

SHIFTING OPERATIONS KEPT
MARKET HIGHL Y UNSETTLED
Easier Call Loan Rate and Favorable Steel Tonnage Checked
Declining Movement Temporarily

New York. Feb. 10. - There was
much the same irregularity in today s
stock market as prevailed in the pre-
ceding session, except that fluctuations
were not so violent nor of such of an
extensive character. The market, how
ever. experienced considerable diff
ticulty in finding its level, rejecting the
increasing mental confusion Of the pro-
tesslonal eleent, who supplied more
than 80 per cent of the days opera
tionS
During the first part of the session,
especially during the first hour. the mar
ket was again subjected to concentrated
pressure, coming about equally from the
Bear crowd and liquidation representing
the closing out OF long accounts for
the so called lame ducks. of which Wall
street is now full, and which are gen
orally found in considerable numbers in
the aftermath of every pronounced
downward swing in the market.
The overnight announcement of the
strike of maintenance of way men af-
forded a pretext for the renewed sell.
ing. which caused the fresh sinking spell
the market suffered at the outset. While
this selling was in progress, there were
declines ranging from | to more than Z
points. Curiously the drive was not di-
rectcd against the railroad shares, as
would have been expected under the cir
cumstances. but the pressure was di-
rccted largely agains the shippings, mo-
tors and steels.
Trading during the morning followed
yesterdays unsettled course. In many
instances, the initial reactions were ma
,crially extended, especially the shipping
shares. which made new low records
for the movement. General Motors was
the most uncertain feature, dropping Z
points and later making full recovery.
Affiliated shares and the oil group mani
tested heavier trend and the equip
mcnts continued to sag with the rails.
lacked the violence attending yester-
days shakedown. and there was much
better absorption on the declines. This
induced a general covering movement
in the second hour, bringing substan-
tial rallies from the lower levels. Ad-

ditional impetus to the recovery move
ment was supplied in the 10 per cent
opening rate for call money. The IA
vorable effect of the apparent easier
money conditions was later supple
mented by United States Steel Corpora
tion tonnage statement, showing an in :
crease in untitled orders on its books Of
1,030,07j tons. The untitled tonnage
for January was given as 9,2S5, AL
tons, compared with 6,6S4, ,26S tons in
January last year. In fact, it was the
largest tonnage reported by the steel
corporation for any month since April,
1918.
Not only was the showing much bet
ter than had been expected; but it fur
nished convincing testimony of the
growing activity of the iron and steel
industry, which for the moment has
been lost sight of by reasons of the mis-
givings prompted by reason of the
strained domestic and international
monetary situation.
The good effects of the favorable ton
tage statement and a further relaxa-
tion of call money to s per cent was
soon lost and, a little after mid day,
fresh weakness cropped up in many
parts of the list. The shipping shares
continued the most vulnerable, and with
the oil and motor shares featured the
most extensive declines in this second
ary backset. The downward swing,
however, gradually spread out to all
quarters of the list. embracing the in
vestment rails and the representative
industrials.
The drop in the call rate to per
cent shortly before the closing of the
market, made little impression on prices.
There was some covering. which caused
stiffening here and there, but only a
small part of the losses of to points
among the standard shares, and 6 OF 10
points among the higher priced specu-
lative issues, were retrieved. Steel sold
down to 9S, General Motors to 250.
Mexican Petroleum TO 16S, and so on.
In the rail department Reading went
below 81. Union Pacific below 115,
Southern Pacific below 02 and Atchison
below so.

LOCAL MARKET DEALINGS
ON SANE. DLlNLNU7IVE SCALE
Sharp Break of So in General Asphalt Common Reflected
ThinnesS of the Market

If anything, overnight developments
In the general situation anchored the
local market more firmly than ever in
the apathetic rut in which II has been
grounded for some time. Dealings
throughout the session were on the same
limited scale; In most part they were
made up of small odd lots. Little sig
nifcance was to be attached to the
small fractional changes, in that they
contained little meaning other than to
further emphasize the extreme narrow
ness Of the current market.
As a matter Of fact, there was only
one price change recorded worthy of
comment. This was the So drop in
General Asphalt common to 90, which
reflected the thinness Of the market
for all the high priced specialties, more
particularly those which had been in
flated beyond all sense of reason. AT
today's price there was q depreciation
in the stock of $50 share from the
high record price of 161, made on Oc-

for a Big Job
Brooke Stokes & Co.,

brooke Stokes & Co.,
Q well-known Philadelphia and
Baltimore bond house, has just
brought up to date their most
exhaustive statistical analysis
of fifty-one of the leading rail
roads of the United States,
showing earnings, expenses,
dividends, etc. The investiga-
tion will be published and dis
tributed gratis to a few of
their clients. The mass of fig
ures was checked by five men,
working two months continu-
ally with five Barrett Model
10 machines. This firm orig
inally completed this work in
1916. They had from A to 8
men working exclusively at
this work and at nothing else
for 4 years. At the time this
work was commenced they in
vestigated the entire adding
and calculating machine field.
The gratifying conclusion ar
rived at was that the Barrett
Model 10 is by far the best
device obtainable for checking
work that must be deadly ac-
curate. No doubt millions of
dollars will be invested on the
reliability of the facts fur
