ards from which the health of
the new Commonwealth was

Boone and Gen. George Rogers
Clark rested after their long
tramps through the wilderness
and dressers before which the
beauties and bellies powdered
their tresses until they rivaled
the white locks of the Beau
Brummels of that day will be
among the furnishings of the
Old Kentucky log mansions at
the State Fair this year.
The latest pieces of historical
furniture to be acquired are
sideboard owned by Simon Ken
toms sister and chair from the
home of Gov. Isaac Shelby.
These articles were in active use
during the period between 1880
and 1910 and were found by
Mrs. Samuel G. Boyle, of Louis
vile, who has been commission
ed by w. C. Hanna, Commission
er of Agriculture, and his aSso-
ciates on the State Fair Board to
furnish the building.
The building, now nearing
completion, depicts the typical
log mansion such as dotted the
countryside of Kentucky about
the year 1870, and rapidly in
creasing in number during the
next decade. The model for the
log mansion to be built at the
Fair Grounds is still standing in
Green county in an excellent
state of preservation despite It's
135 years.
The house is a two-story struc-
ture, consisting of a parlor, sit
ting-room. dining room on the
frs: floor, connected with the
kitchen by an open porch, or
dog rrot," as it was called in
the quaint language of that day.
Stairs from the entrance hall
lead to the second floor, where
there is a commodious bedroom
on either side of the hall. Near
the house is to be horse block,
and in the rear of the yard a
spring house, which was a nee
essars accompaniment to every
homestead of that day.
"The Old Kentucky House" is
now under roof and beginning
to assume the aspect of a. home

Country" in the latter part OF
the Eighteenth Century and in
the years Immediately following.
Mrs. Boyle is now securing the
State for authenic furnishings
and furniture of that period in
the effort co make the old log
mansion a veritable museum o1
the pioneer days of Kentucky.
Other articles that entered the
daily life of the settlers, such az
kitchen utensils, weapons anG

Public Buying Stocks.

A canvass of commission houses re-
veals the fact that the public actually
has entered the market on substan-
tial scale. Not, of course, to the extent
that it was committed in the latter
days Of the big bull market Of 1919, when
every telephone operator. bootblack,
delicatessen store keeper and rcstau-
rant waiter was beyond the pale IL he
did not own at least a few shares OF
stock, but In n fairly substantial way.
Commission house loans are rising and
their daily business has shown in the
last week large increase Recent
stock market developments, which have
led to considerable comment and dis
cussion In tho newspapers relative to
various market movements have tended
to add to public interest by drawing
back to Wall Street attention which
has been directed toward other points
since the beginning of the big bear
market Of two years ago.

considerable portion at least OF the

Yesterday in the financial district. Ger

dicate that the bucket shops are doing
their best to extricate themselves from
a very uncomfortable position with as
little loss as possible. That they must
take losses Is obvious II comparisons OF
present prices with those of four months
back are made. The class of traders
who patronize the shops generally have
a leaning toward speculative favorites
such as Gulf States steel. Replogle.
Mexican Petroleum, Crucible and other
similar issues In which fluctuations are
wide and in which. IL trader manages
to guess right, large profits can be
made In short time. Issues of tina:

TRADE TONE IS BETTER;

Goods Put on Shelves in Hand

The weeks trade reviews tell of
further improvement in tone rather than
in buying, with wholesale trade and
industry showing signs OF emergence
from the year end quiet. Bradstreets
says:
Slow but on the whole fairly steady
expansion features wholesale trade and
industry. House buying both from job
bers and wholesalers is of the small
though-often type. Road trade has ex-
panded somewhat. Industry certainly
shows gain from the general shut
downs of the inventory period. and the
two branches seem in better shape than
year ago. On balance the employment
situation seems better than month ago,
the fuel trades and agricultural pursuits
excepted"
While there are various good signs
in business no development of activity
along broad lines has vet appeared"

Big SUGAR MERGER
PLAN is UNDER WAY

A merger OF large sugar producing
and refining interests. including the Gu

the New Niquero Sugar Company and
others. is understood to be under way
and a committee Of representatives OF
concerns interested has been appointed
to work out details. Bankers. too, are
discussing the best means for effecting
the merger. 1t was said yesterday that
no new financing will be undertaken,
the transaction to be accomplished
through the exchange Of shares.
A big expansion by part OF the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company was fore
cast yesterday when it was learned that
Charles Z. Mitchell and Percy Rocke-
Teller. now in Cuba, are looking over
various sugar properties for the Ameri-
can. While the american interests will
not go into the proposed merger, it IL
believed plan is on foot for the grad

Money Somewhat Easier.

The minimum call money rate In yes
terday's outside market was AZ per
cent. and the maximum 5 per jccnt., in
contrast to per cent. on Thursday. In
the New York Stock Exchange the rate
was S per cent. all day. Time money
quotations were nominal. An explana-
ton for this weeks firmer money quo
tations advanced in money circles was
to the effect that between 5000, 900 and
$90.000,000 of State and municipal secu-
rites are being carried by the banks for
syndicates, that total including the un-
sold balance of New York city bonds.
The large figure is purely an estimate.
but II gives an idea of the undistributcd
state of the market for State and mu-
nicipal securities. and the development Is
regarded as healthy for the bond mar
kets further growth.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
A wild Opening.

A spectacular opening. FOLLOWED by a
more or less wild session of trading,
marked yesterdays affairs in tho New
York Stock Exchange. With the entire
Street in q ferment as result of the
sensational rise OF nearly 90 points in
Gulf States Steel on Thursday It was ex-
pected that yesterdays opening would be
anything but orderly. The extent of the
confusion. however. startled even those
looking for It, and when it broke out in
several additional spots, notably Rep
logic Steel. the difficulties of the
brokers on the floor were multiplied.
Gulf States showed an overnight gain
Of 3 points. opening at s. and quickly
sailing up to 90Ia. At that point one of
the financial ticker services printed an
excerpt from a Cleveland interview with
Henry Ford disclaiming his intention to
purchase the Gulf States Steel proper
ties. Bang! With a roar the market
in those shares turned right about and
went down with even greater velocity
than they had advanced. When the tide
of selling was finally stemmed the break
from the top had extended to approxi-
mately 20 points in a very few minutes.
From that point there was a half hearted
recovery. and for the rest Of the day the
price fluctuated between rs and rs,
closing with net loss Of more than 10
points. The opening in Replogle was
even more fiery. Here an overnight ad-
vance Of almost 10 points was registered
above 40. after which the stock went
to Al and collapsed like a pricked bub-
BILE to 33H. Nevertheless the stock
made net gain on the day Of more than
points. Two other issues which moved
with more or less violence were Iron
Products. which got up points to 80.
and Electric Storage Battery, which
advanced almost 10 points to high Of
140.

tion i'm Canada reveals further lower
ing of ratios. Transportation expenses
totaling si.s96.9i0 for the month repre-
sented decrease of 81 per cent from
September. The wage reduction effected
In July was mainly responsible for a
cut of s6,62i,4 ,491 in the Canadian carriers

were 80 per cent. higher than they were
in September. the total was still 10 per

REFINED SUGAR PUT TO SC.
American and National Announce
First Advance in Long Tine.

An advance in the price of refined
sugar to cents a pound, the first gen.
eral advance reported in some time, was
made yesterday by the American Sugar
Refining Company and National Sugar
Refining Company. The Arbuckle and
Federal interests remained out Of the
market. The Warner company advanced
its list price to cents, but continues
out Of the market.
The Czarnikow- Rionda company in q
statement said that with the grinding
of the new crop OF Cuban sugar under
way there remains to be disposed Of only
about 100000 tons OF old crop, against
an estimate of more than 100000 tons
at the end Of 1921. Cable adviccs from
Cuba say SO mills are grinding. against
12S year ago. A labor shortage IS
also reported.
The Federal Sugar Refining Company
says Cuba is delaying the grinding OF
it's new crop because of low prices and
lack of finances. The Federal COM
pany's review estimates Europes new
sugar crop at 4,012.O00 tons, compared
with S.792,4S7 tons in the previous sea-
son, a large portion of which increase
will come from Germany. Sweden, Italy
and Poland.

SUIT HITS AT ISSUES VALIDITY.
Action Affects $13,5OO.OOO of Cali
forufa Power Bonds.

Special Dispatch to TIE NEw YORK HERALD.
Los ANGELES. Jan. ia suit IN
which the validity of the so-called
S13,500.000 of power bonds are attacked
has been brought here in the Supreme
Court. The State Supreme Court OF
California abrogated last week and de-
clared null and void the recent sale OF
those bonds to a Los Angeles-New YORK
syndicate. Tho attorneys who instituted
the initial suit have been retained to
prosecute the second action.
The Councils resolution calling for
bids on the bonds was opposed by Coun-
selmen w. c. Mushet and r. S. Sparks.
who opposed the plan OF issuing the
bonds on a 5 per cent. basis. They con-
tended that they should be on A Y per
cent basis, and within that term would
call for a substantial premium. The
Council, however. finally voted six to
two to advertise for bids. Following
that action C. B. Miptcr instituted the
suit attacking the validity of the issue.

New England Rate Case.

Railroad officials are awaiting with
great interest the decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission In the New
England rate case. Although no hint of
its tenor has reached here. in the view
OF local transportation authorities II will
give New England carriers substan-
TALLY larger share in division of revenues
with the trunk lines on interchange traf-
fc than the former have been receiving.
Some believe that the commission may
go further than the increase of s12,6O0,-
900 annually, which the trunk linss
offered in the negotiations of more than
a year ago.

Foreign Exchange.

The first effect of Premier Poincare's
speech on foreign exchange was adverse,
but later reading convinced experts that
the address was designed to solidify the
support behind him and should be read
only in the light of French internal con-
ditions. Subsequently there was recov-
cry in rates. and the net changes were
by no means large. On January 1S the
Chilean peso made a new low record for
all time by selling on a $8.91 a. hundred
pesos basis. The market is narrow, and
yesterdays recovery to a basis Of S9.31
amounts to about n per cent.
