CHICAGO GRAIN ManKrr

Chicago, Feb. s25-Export business to- gether with some investment buying raJ Ned the wheat market today after there had been fresh declines The close was strong at the same as yesterdays finish to 1-4c higher with March s1.e7 1-2 to 1.67 3-4 and May S1.57 3-S to 15s. Corn gained If @S-8 to 1c; oats 1-2 to- 3-4c and provisions IT to 40c
 Wheat bulls obtained the adv antage in the last half hour of the session. Preyi- ous 10 that time the market had been de- pressed by continued sseliing that was ma inly ascribed to bearish aspects of the Industrial outlook. Gossip that the gov ernfnent report on farm reserves March 1 would prove to be against the buying side tended also to weaken the market. On, the downward swing of prices. how ever. European, demand revived and it twas estimated that 1.400, 900 bushels had been purchased for export A quick up< turn in prices followed, and there was lively buying at the last, much of ii on the part of shorts but. also considerable amount that appeared beyond question to be for investment. Talk of Hessian fly danger in the northern section of the wheat belt counted somewhat as a late bullish factor
 Corn and oats rallied with wheat, Srnallness of rural offerings of corn at- tradted a good deal of notice.

New York, Feb. 25.-Conditions in the stock market today denoted moderate im- proyement in the sense that offerings of representatives shares diminished visibly. This was neutralized, however, by renew ed pressure against many of. the vola- tile or speculative issues.
 The status of the steel industry entered largely into the calculations of traders because of the meeting here of the Amer ican Iron and Steel Institute. Assurances that the session bore no direct relation to prices or wage schedules caused hur- ried covering of short contracts
 News dealing with the general indust. rial situation was more hopeful. Detroit reported marked increase ih the work
 ing forces of the automobile companies and New England adyices told of fur ther revival in the textile and leather trades
 Transportation conditions were un- changed, prospects indicating further cur tailnent of employment on the larger systems. The marine situation was threat ened with fresh complications as a result of possible labor troubles at the expira- stion of tto existing aEreement between. ship owners and unions s;4e@f {
 Stocks manifested every disposition to improve in the last hour on call moneys (. cline to 6 per cent, but the list became unsettled just before the close. when heavy selling of Vanadium and Replogle Stcels and Strombrg Carburetor set in.
 Those issues suffered extreme declines of 3 1-2 to S S-4 points before supporting orders in yanadium and Replogle effected partial recoveries Stromberg was with out support, however, making net loss of points Sales amounted to 5eo,e0o shares.
 Dealings in bonds were larger than at any previous session of the week, but the increased activity was mainly at the expense of values Liberty issues were l irregular. though mostly lower, as were also local fractions and the international group. Total sales (par yalue) aggre- gated $15,275,oeo.

HARDING's NAVAL POLICY

President Harding says that Our navy is the great wall of America. :" He is for the maintenance of our fighting strength on the seas at a point where it will constitute a real defense. He holds that a navy which is almost good enough" is likely to prove more costly in the end than no navy at all.s In other words a navy that is not powerful enough to defeat an opponent might as well not have existed.
 MT. Harding's statements are au indication that our future naval pol icy will progressively build up the American navy to a point where it will need fear the navy of no other country or probable combination of countries, and will keep it there.- Valdez Miner

LASTING PROPERTIES OF OAK

In drifting new gallery in a gold mine at Victoria Australia, at a depth of 300 feet, pieces of oak tim Der were found perfectly preserved and with the appearance of having been sawed and shaped by man. The timber lies in an ancient river bed.
 Just before the war it was dis covered in Russia that the bed of the Moksha river, for length of 400 miles, was full of magnificent oak trees.
 Oak has the peculiar property of lasting for centuries when buried in water or wet sand Oak piles from brides constructed by the Romans have been found to be as sound as when placed, nearly 1000 years ago.

Art is keeping right up behind the band these days.
 Attendance at the art school of the Chicago Art institute, the largest art school in the world, set new records last year. Pupils at the school from January 1, 1920, to January | 1921, numbered 4,267.
 Public attendance at the institute continued to climb in 1920. reaching l,l36,174 persons. This was nearly 100000 more than the previous year Visitors on recent Sunday totalled 15,800,
 In membership the institute is first III the country. It has touched 12,- 600. The museums income is be- tween quarter and a half million dollars, it's endowment amounting to about $3,R00,000,

UNIVERSAL 5oLVENT-ALMosT

New properties of a liquid de- scribed before the students of the de- partment of chemistry of the Uni versity of Nebraska show that it al chemists of old who sought the uni Yersal solvent
 As described by Dr. Victor Lenher, professor of chemistry at the Uni Versity of Wisconsin, tests have shown that selenium oXychloride, as tho solvent is called, is more power ful even than was indicated in his preliminary announcement made be- fore the American Chemical Society.
 It disolves rubber, glues, enamels, hydrocarbons and many other sub- stances which hitherto have been re. garded as most resistant to all chem. ical agencies except fire.
 Such products as redmanOl, bake lite, and condensite, which are used as substitutes for amber in the mak- ing of tobacco pipes and for many other industrial purposes and have been until now regarded as insoluble in all known solvents, are readily dissolved by selenium oxychloride, DT. Lenher. By it's use ordinary paints, varnishes and shellacs can be removed from furniture and carriages and other objects without injuring the wood. and enamels can be taken from automobiles without affecting the steel body.
 It's solvent powers are so vigorous that it will remove the bitumen from soft coal but will not attack the pure carbon of anthracite.
 Dr. Lenher sees a military power in this powerful solvent, as it can be employed in making more porous the charcoals contained in the filter material of war gas masks, a pro- cess known as activation.
 The cocoanut charcoal used in the gas masks" says the doctor, "can be activated by this new reagent by treatment at ordinary temperature, which is a considerable advance over the older steam activation of a white heat"
 The use of activated charcoal in the extraction of gasoline from na- tural gas is one which is interesting chemists today, as it will tend to in crease the supply of fuel for motor vehicles, and still leave the gas available for household and indus trial purposes AS a laboratory re- agent, Dr. Lenher said that the pro- perties of selenium oxychloride are so unusual that it is likely to come into common use wherever research is conducted.
 The solvent, which was formerly re- garded as merely a laboratory curi- osity, is finding it's place in many in dustries. The original statements concerning it's exceptional powers have been amply verified, the speaker asserted, by him and a group of stu dents who have been attracted to the laboratories of the University of Wis consin during the past year.
 The raw material from which it is obtained was once a waste product from the electrolytic refining cop Der, for until recently the selenium
