RECEIVER ASKED

Well Known Phonograph Com
pany Insolvent, Says Federal
Court Petition

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. APP
plication for receivership for the Co.
lumbia Graphophone Manufacturing
company, Delaware corporation,
was made today in federal court. In
solvency is alleged
that he had received no word Of her
coming.
The British consulate here has in
terested itself in her behalf. Major
Thomas A. Osborne, British consul,
intimated that the secret service of
his government is following a lead
in the murder possibly involving an
ancient enmity acquired by Taylor
in his youth.
The murder has wrought distinctly
noticeable changes in the affairs of
certain screen notables. Persons
whose affairs have been notorious in
Hollywood are said to be doing every
thing possible to clear their skirts
and keep their affairs out of the
newspapers.
One star, married and with a child,
whose marital affairs have been
strained for three months, was seen
lunching with his wife in a prominent
hotel 1t was the first time since
last November that they had been
seen together.
Another reconciliation-that of a
popular young woman player of first
rank with her New York husband, is
said to be in the making She is re-
ported to have made arrangements
to have him announce his departure
for Hollywood at once. They were
married but few months previous
TO their separation.
Another player, a star in western
was met at his studio after shooting
interior scenes Tuesday by his wife,
She waited for him in her automo-
bile. This, too, is the first time Hol-
iywood has seen this happen in some
time.
The matron in charge of women
extras and girls applying for jobs
at one of the biggest studios here

WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Dec. 23.-Despite heavy
p~rofit-taking sales new high price rec
ords for the season have been attained
in the wheat market this week. Up
turns were based largely on opinions
that increased purchasing soon by for
eigners could hardly be avoided. Com
pared with a week ago, wheat Saturday
morning was unchanged to 3b cents
higher. corn down IA to 1ss "a
cents, oats unchanged to 1R cents off
and provisions up Is to 80 cents.
Announcement of a decrease of more
than 100000 bushels in the amount
of wheat on ocean passage, together
with assertions that stocks of bread
stuffs in Europe were on nearly a
hand-to-hand basis. had much to do
with assumptions that export business
would be likely to enlarge before long.
Sub-zero temperatures and lack of suf-
ficient snow protection for the domestic
winter crop tended further to lift
prices and were but little offset by
government figures implying that the
probable yield would be $1,000 900
bushels IN excess of a corresponding
estimate II months back.
1t was contended by some authori-
ties that the most weighty part of the
government report was the fact shown
that except in two cases the present
condition of the winter crop is the
lowest on record. However, bullish

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Dec. 23-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The German repara-
tons question o~vershadowed all other
subjects of discussion in this weeks
financial markets. Attention was cen
tered on this problem by the
ment of J. P. Morgan & Co, on Mon
day that they had notified the German
ambassador that no international loan
to Germany could be considered or DIS
| cussed unless and until the PREPARATIONS
question was settled. The statement
was issued to set at rest a flock OF
r1mors that were making it embarras-
sing both for the administration and
for local international bankers, /,
Considerable interest was
later in the week by the announcement
that the United States chamber OF
commerce had injected itself into the
| situation in an endeayor to help un-
raveI the financial tangle, but bankers
withheld comment pending more DELI
| mite developme nts.
The main body of stocks showed
few important changes although there
were several interesting movements
in individual shares. The most spec
tacular of these took place in Next
can Petroleum which opened Thurs
day at o62, advanced to 322 IN sales
of 100 share lots and then dropped back
to 300 for a net gain of AZ on the day.
Belated covering by trapped short
interests was ascribed as the reason
for the sensational rise. Baldwin also
was active at rising prices, closing the
week 1OB points above last Saturdays
final figure. Several new high records
for the year were made during the
week, including Fisher body, Pond
Creek Coal, Stromberg Carburetor and
Stewart Warner speedometer.
Business prospects continue encour-
aging. Weekly reviews Of the iron and
steel industry declared that y%ear-end
activity was unusually high and the
seasonal shutdowns in the many indus-
tries were unusually small
The improbable nature of the ship
ping industry during the last year was
shown by a reduction of the semi-an-
nual preferred dividend on I~nternation-
al Mercantile Marine stock from 3 to
1.5O, putting it on a 3 per cent annual
basis instead of 6.
More stock dividend announcements
came out during the week, bringing the
total amount distributed in the last
few months to approximately $1,000
600.
Official announcement was made dur
ing the week however that neither the
General Electric company nor the
United States Steel corporation con
templated such action, denying rumors
to that effect.
Money rates were slightly easier.
Few important changes took place in
the foreign exchange market demand.
