 of Scandinavian Bills
Rr Associated Prers

New York. March 7.-TradiDB on the stock exchange today lapsed into it's recent uncertain trend Much of the previous sessions spirited re- bound on the supreme courts gas rate decision was cancelled.
 Dealings were comparatively light and tho list movements of various specialties and other speculative is- sues indicated temporary abandon ment of aggressive operations by buiiish professional interest.
 Similar conditions were applicable to the more important commodity markets money rates and interna tional exchanges, where dullness and price reactions were the prevailing characteristics.
 Sugars, coppers. local fractions and several of the cheaper rails. together with Studebaker. American Ice American Can and Corn Products featured the markets stronger side, while oils and the junior motors, steels and equipments were Irregular or heavy.
 The one definite and significant de- velopment of the day was in Pitts burg dispatches which announced price advances in bars, shapes and plates by the largest Independent pro- ducers of that district.
 Mills in the Chicago district re- ported a pronounced increase of pro duction but Chairman Gary of the United States Steel corpora ton was quoted as saying that he had not seen any substantial evidence of gen sral and rapid recovery to normalcy.
 Brokers representing leading banks were free tenders of call money in the open market at 41k per cent but in private offerings plenty of money was available at 41a per cent. Com nercial paper was sold at Az per cont. but all maturities beyond the three months period held at five per cent.
 Excepting Scandinavian bills which were strong. the entire foreign ex- change market showed further unset tlement Sterling reacted almost two cents and Italian bills fell 15 points on political disturbances in that country.

taxpayers Of the state. All purchases for the
many institutions and departments of the state
are made through the purchasing agent. Mr..
J. E. Wood, Purchasing Agent, has been dilligent
in obtaining the best price whenever he has made
a purchase. His attitude has been to favor Mon
tana made merchandise and Montana merchants
the price and quality has been the
same and at times the Montana dealer has re-
ceived the order when a price from outside the
state has been a trifle lower.
The impartiality Of the purchasing depart
ment in buying, and the absolute maintaining of
strict business methods in every transaction can
be vouched for by those who have had dealings
with the department. The Bozeman Courier can
vouch for the fact that no f~avorites are played.
No business is received because of the fact that
this paper ;stood for. the election of Governor
Dixon. In so far as receiving orders through
the purchasing department is concerned, the
Courier goes through the same formality all
other bidders do, and looses many printing jobs
because others under-bid it. In some instances
the successful bidder has been but a few dollars
below the quoted price Of the Courier, that throw
ing tbe work to this plant would not cost much
more in the one particular instance.
No such transactions have been followed
ApWCNC1, dAO WullC Ilc OOUIlcI lids lOSIf SO1G
jobs, it is satisfied that those who get them did
not make much on the work. That makes a saw
ing also for the state, although the successful
bidder in some instances put their bid below a
reasonable figure for a definate purpose. The
jobs received. by the Courier, when it has been
successful in bidding for printing, have been ex-
ecuted at a close margin of profit in every in
stance.
So from the experience of the Courier, it is
free to state that Governor Dixon has been alb
'~solutely fair in all his transactions and has. not
used his position to throw business to his friends.
He has made it clear to all that there is only one
way to do business with the state and that is
upon business principles.
If those who are trying to discredit the gov
ernor were able to do so, if they had any facts
to work upon, it is beyond the question OF a doubt
that theyF%ould produce something besides hints
and insinuations. They have not attacked him
with any stated facts of failure to stand up to
his announced policy of a clean cut pushes adj
ministration because they cannot find any such
instance.

the United States Department of Ag-
riculture gives a clear statement of
the principles involved.
Feeding and management of sheep.
says DR.. Sewall Wright, specialist
in animal genetics, have nothing to
do with the appearance of black
lambs. The black color is hereditary
even though it may be transmitted
by ordinary white sheep. The black
color in such a case is what is called
a recessive character. White sheen
which transmit this character at all
transmit black in so per cent of their
reproductive cells iowa In the case
Of ewes and spermatozoa in the case
Of rams) and white in the remaining
80 per cent. Thus with white sheep
mated with blacks (Which can only
transmit black) produce SO per cent
black lambs and so per cent white.
All of these white lambs can trans
nit black.
White sheep which transmit only
white, mated with blacks, Produce
only white lambs, but all of these
lambs a transmit black. When
both I'VE and ram are white, but
both transmit black, about rs per
cent of the lambs are black, so per
cent are white, which transmit black
while the remaining % per cent are
true-breeding whites. In this case
it Is an ever chance that a given
ovum will transmit black and an even
chance that it will be fertilized by a
male cell which transmits black, max
ing one chance in four that both
transmit black, which is necessary
for the production Of a black lamb.
With % black lambs appearing in
the flock, it is indicated that about
100 of the 175 ewes transmit black
assuming that all of the rams used
transmit it. If not all the rams
transmit this color then it is proba.
bic that an even larger number Of
ewes transmit it.
