DruGoods Market
BY STUART P. WEST
tCopyright, 1yZz.J

New York. Feb 2S-A moderate
amount of new business was put
through on the drygoods market to-
day Some business was done in the
wider print cloths at prevailing
figures but mills are still inclined to
hold for higher prices for future
deliveries The narrower construc-
lions were slightly more active.
Sheetings were in some demand for
export but the bag manufacturers
in many instances confined their
operations to shopping for bargains.
Fine goods were very dull but ga
teens commanded considerable at
tention.
The raw silk market here con-
tinued dull and quotations in some
grades were merely nominal. This
reflected the lethargy reported In
primary markets and the disinclin-
alton of local manufa cturers to COM
nit themselves heavily in the Plies
ent state of the market.
Business in finished silks, how
ever, showed some improvement.

SUGAR STOCKS.

Sugar stocks were the first to
start forward today after gener-
ally indecisive opening. There was
no fresh Increase entered the trade
departments, no further advance in
either raw or refined product. 1t
is said now, however, that upper
Wall street, meaning the stock ex-
change, has a better view of the
sugar trade outlook than lower
Wall street. Current low prices
mean nothing, because there is still
the remnant of the 1921 surplus to
be worked of, and there is no dis
position to see much of andance I'M
til the grinding season is further
along; that is, until the late spring.
But meanwhile the essential facts
are that sugar supplies of the world
are greatly reduced and that the
export demand is ON the increase.
Java and Japan are large buyers.
and this is a recent development of
the utmost importance, for it was
the unloading of the Java crop
which wrecked the sugar market in
the autumn of 1920. The indica-
tons are that the 1922 Cuban crop
will be about normal, thanks to the
unusually large sugar content in
the cane this year. The shrinkage
in world supply outside of Cuba
however, and especially the remark
able disclosure that the far east is
short, points clearly in the judg-
ment of sugar men to considerably
higher prices in the second half OF
the year. Upper Wall street is an.
F.; ticipating this change and buying
the sugar stocks. Such is the sig.

the syndicate offered the bonds.
Many bonds were strong at slight

of easier money rates.
There was no letup in the de-
mand for Missouri, Kansas and

heavily dealt in at fresh tops. The

SHORT SIDE OF

JBy Consolidated Press
Chicago. Feb. zS.-Wheat was
very much unsettled during most Of
the session today but an outstand-
ing feature was the ability Of the
market to absorb the offerings. The
selling was conspicuous and long
wheat held by prominent interests
went over board on some of the
early bulges. This enticed pit trad
ers into playing the short side Of
the bulge and it was their run
ming to cover which caused the fire.

interview given out by J. Ogden

that the buying on the dips WAS
for his account. Liverpool again

late that the Liverpool closing ad-
vance was due partly to buying by
American interests.
Corn followed the trend Of the
leader. Trade was largely local
and they were guided in making
their commitments by the trend OF
wheat. Despite the small receipts
cash discounts widened out Il c to

Inand from industries. Carriers are
finding it more difficult to dispose
of corn now that they are holding
out for better profits. Export busi-
ness is possible only when the SELL
er is inclined to force the sale.
Oats also had a nervous tone.
Locals sought on an early dip
caused by selling by leading long.
These oats came out later and prov

CATTLE, LAMBS
WEAKER HOGS
RISE 10 CENTS
tBy Consolidated Press }


U. s. Yards, Chicago, Feb. 2S.-
Compared with last week, all
branches of the livestock trade
show light runs for the first two
days. After the drop in lamb val
ues yesterday. the first noted for
some time, sellers did not look for
an active trade today. Big killers
had more than 5000 sheep and
lambs forwarded from other trad
ing points. A stale supply of near
ly $4,000 hogs held over from yes
terday, hurt this end of the market
today. Receipts today were esti-
mated at 1000 cattle; $4,000 hogs !;
$4,000 sheep and lambs, and 1000
calves.
Cattle trade was weak through
out the day. Some heavy steers
sold at sS.75 but few went above SIS
with most of the deals at $1,000
500. All medium and plain grades
were hard to sell. Cows and heif-
ers held about steady, good COWS
going at S525@5.75. Gamers and
cutters held without change Calves
were dull. but shipping lots held
steady. Most vealers sold at $1,000
@11.00. The whole cattle trade was
dull.
Hogs.
Light hogs sold mostly 5@10c
higher, or fully up to the best time
of the day before. One lot made
$11s5 but the practical top of the
trade was placed at SLIPS. Light
butchers sold up to s11.15@11.25,
while bulk of butchers sold at
$1090@11.25. Few rough packing
hogs went below 1915. Pigs held
at unchanged levels, best lots going
at $1050@1G.60.
Sheep.
Lambs were again weak Prime
fed lots were placed at S15.50Q
1915. Yearlings and aged muttons
held steady. Some good ewes went
at $3.50 while yearlings sold at
s1300@13.75 and Texas wethers at
1925.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
(Copyright. 1922

Wall Street, New York, Feb. Is
Business was active again on the
curb exchange today. There were
quite a number of transactions "un-
der the rule. At the start the
tone was uncertain, but before
many minutes a frmer tendency
developed in sympathy with the
continued advance on the stock ex-
change. Motor issues were strong.
Cleveland and Durant of Indiana
were among the leaders. Cities
Service, old common stock, was the
feature of the oils and at one time
was up nearly 10 points to the high
est price touched in some weeks.
Philip Morris was unusually ac-
tive. In the early dealings there
was some selling and the stock
touched a new low for the present
movement, but later a sharp rally
on commission house buying and
short covering put the stock to
above the previous close. Radio
common was traded in on a large
scale but held near last nights
final price. Todd Shipbuilding was
strong and there was a fractional
upturn in Inter-Continental Rub
Der. R. ]. Reynolds was somewhat
easier. Standard Oil of Indiana
f1uctuated within a narrow range.
Kirby Petroleum was freely offered
for a time and declined, but raj
lied after midday. Maracaibo and
Gilliland we're in good demand.
There was fair activity in bonds,
but price changes generally were
confined within narrow limits.
New Haven As, on buying by the
two stock exchange houses advanc-
ed a fraction, while the 51zs, which
were firm yesterday, reacted slight
ly on profit taking.

ROBINSON CRUSOE NOW A MOVIE
HERO

Crusoe, Pegleg, One Eye, Black
Tom, Friday!
You'll see them all in the Uni
versity version of the universally be-
loved Daniel Defoe story of advent
ure which has been produced in
eighteen chapters called "The Ad-
ventures of Robinson Crusoe," the
first of which shows at the Alamo
and Grand Monday afternoon and
evening.
Each famous character was chosen
with the strictest attention to two
distinct qualifications-his physical
resemblance to the Defoe character
and his ability as an actor. The
result is that each player seems to
have stepped from the pages of the
adventurous novel to further fasci-
nate readers.
Frank Lloyd, whose productions
for Goldwyn have earned individual
praise for the excellence of their
direction, has made from a story by
Katherine Newlin Burt one of the
most impressive dramas of Western
life that has ever been achieved.

SHOULD BE PLACED IN OLD KEN.
lucky HOUSE

The Harrodsburg Democrat des-
cribes two relics of great historic
interest held by residents of Ken
tucky-two kettles, one brought
over by the Pilgrims and one owned
by Lincoln's parents-which it
rightly suggests should be placed in
a museum for safekeeping. What
better place than the Old Kentucky
House at the State Fair? If the
owners names could be obtained,
steps might be readily taken to place
them in this permanent museum,
where they could be seen by thous-
ands. The Democrat says:
1T may not be generally known
that this State possesses two relics
of great historic interest, or rather
they are in the keeping Of individu-
ais living in the State and privately
owned.
Zone is a kettle or pot brought
over by the Pilgrim Fathers and
for by documentary evil
dence, we believe. We have never
seen this relic, but it is said to be
and, needless to say, is
highly priced by the owner, who
would appear to be a descendant of
one who landed at Plymouth. 1t is
now in keeping in the mountain sec
ton of the State, and has been seen
by the one who communicated the
facts to us. In size it is fairly large
and bears all the marks of antiquity.
"The other is a kettle or pot,
which was owned by the father and
mother of Abraham Lincoln and is
now in the keeping of a family in
county, or was when
last seen. 1t is one of the large va
riety, generally used out of doors,
and can be vouched for by the fam
lily who have had it in their keeping
during the years.
Relies of this kind one would
like to see in some museum for safe
keeping. Doubtless they are now
safe enough, but the vicissitudes of
time may mean their ultimate loss,
which would be regretted in the ex-
treme."
