 BUYERS CONTINUES
BUT IMPROVEMENT NOTED
Eighth District Federal Reserve Bank Declares Financial Position
 Stronger Than in Months.
(By the Associated Press)


 St. Louis, Feb. 2S.-While economy and extreme conservatism still charac- terize merchants and the buying pub lie, fundamentally there is continued improvement in business and the fl- nancial position is stronger than at any time in many months, according to the monthly report of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Eighth district, made public here today The report says in part;
 The disposition of the public to economize, coupled with extreme con- servatism on the part of merchants, was reflected in quietness and a slightly declining tendency in general business throughout this district dur ing the past 30 days. Fundamen- tally there has been continued inn provement. Stocks of merchandise in retailers hands are low, prices aye on a more stable basis, there has been a good rise in important farm pro- ducts and the financial position is stronger than at any time in many months, but withal buyers are in a hesitating mood and the movement of commodities into consumption is disappointing.
 Tn the typical grain producing sec tlons of the district sentiment has been improved to some extent by the sharp rise in wheat, which sustained the broadeat advance, beneficial re- suits were less noteworthy in the country than might be expected be- cause of the fact that producers had already marketed most of their stocks. The upturn in the course grains, ac- co1dlng to reports from many sec tons, will prove an incentive for heavier acreages this spring than had been contemplated in earlier planting programs. Cotton prices have not responded to the rise in cereals, and little change worthy of note has taken place in market conditions of that staple
 Reports from manufacturers and Wholesalers indicate slowing down Tn the demand for all kinds of goods as comparing with the preceding thir ty-day period. A universal comment IS that competition is even keener than heretofore, and the most inteu slve solesmanship is necessary in or der to secure business. This is true especially in reference to commodities other than those for daily consump- ton. Buying by retailers continues almost exclusively on a basis of inn mediate shipment, and in turn retail CTS report that their customers are taking only what they are obliged to nave, and are discriminating in favor or cheap and mediumpriced articles. |"

SCORE ONE MORE FOR NAVY
Damaged Replica of Old Vessel, IL Is Believed, Can Be Repaired
 by Sailors.

Percy C. Madeira, Philadelphia coal magnate, has joined the ranks of those who have taken up the fad of collect ing ship models. Madeira's experience with the first model he bought, a replica of the American clipper ship Southern Cross, was an interesting one, according to the New York Sun. This miniature ship, 30 inches long, the coal operator obtained recently through an agent at Nantucket, who considered the purchaser lucky in getting genuine model at a reason able figure.
 The model, with all masts and other spars in place and with rigging, blocks, boats, etc, as they should be, was handsome picture when 1t was packed for shipment at Nantucket.
 But when the fragile model reached Madeira's home 1t came out of the packing case nearly wrecked. It had been poorly packed and roughly han dled on the trip. Madeira looked at the mass of broken Spars and wreckage and said things about the packer and also the agent at Nantucket He fig ured the model little better than matchwood and that it never could be repaired
 He reckoned, however. without the United States navy. He happened to tell his troubles to a naval officer sta toned at League island and soon afterward the officer rang the coal magnate up and said he thought he had man who could repair the rn,Iy

Old BURR of the Eerry.

Old Burr Of the Ferry.
II was In late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac. on which he
was serving as lookout. was In Lake
Superior that Alan first heard OF Jim
Burr. The name spoken among some
other names In casual conversation by
member OF the crew, stirred and ex-
cited him; the name James Burr, &C.
curing on Benjamin .Corvet's list. had
borne opposite Il the legend "Ali dis
appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose
investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained. had
been able regarding Burr only to verify
the fact that at the address given no
one Of this name was to be found.
He questioned the oiler who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met
Burr one night IN Manltowoc with
other men. and something about the
old man had impressed both his name
and image on him; he knew no more
than that. At Manitowoc the place
