Tendency at End Of Week OF
Irregular Advances-Big
Daily Sales.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-After more
than two months Of irregular ad-
vances. involving twenty-one con-
secutive full sessions of daily trans
actions in. excess OF. 100000 shares,
the stock market this week mani
tested reactionary tendencies.
The reversal. which was exceeding
ly moderate in comparisons with the
many gains Of ten to twenty-five
points. evidently resulted in greater
degree from realizing sales than
from. any material slowing down Of
public interest or support.
Belated commitments for the long
account created by the protracted
rise. served to weaken the markets
technical position. Many such ac-
counts were dislodged in the tempo
rary uNAsttlement Of the midweek,
but thess seemed to be more than
neutralizei by renewed pool opera

Efforts of the short interest to cap
ttalize the coal strike, prospective
freight rate reductions and te more
uncertain phases on the foreign stu
alton met with little success. Coalers
were among the strongest of the
railroad stocks. many Of the junior

Faith in the future of the steel and
iron industry was expressed by d.
rectors of the United States Steel and
Bethlehem Steel corporations Pre-
vailing common dividend disburse-
ments were declared. although. In the
case of the first-named company, not
all of the preferred dividend was
earned.
/. Rebound In Other Industries.
In other leading branches OF industry
financial returns showed a rebound from
the final quarter of 1921. Unfavora-
Bile weather conditions were respon-
sible for the decrease in the volume
of general business, but, even in that
quarter, an increased demand for
textiles and kindred merchandise
was reported.
Acceptance by foremost American
financial interests of the invitation to
confer with the interallied reparation
commission regarding an interna-
tionai loan to Germany occasioned
lively discussion in bankingt circles.
Opinions respecting this country's 8
participation in such a project were
widely divergent. because of the un-.
stable economic conditions still exist

J. o. Varnedoe,N after a service of

He served through the Taft admin

and also through both Wilson adj

was a most unlikely place, but it
was Gods place, and Elijah, who
stood before God, went there.
The widow was in dire straits; she
had just enough for one meal-but
that was enough with God. She
recognized him as a man Of God by
his dress and by his face. A man
can't stand before God as Elijah did
without showing it in his face. To
the credit Of his heather woman be
it said that she exercised faith in
Elijah's God too, and obeyed.
The reverence of Jesus to this
woman seems to indicate that she,
more than any widow in Israel was
willing to receive and obey the word
of God. luke 1850. At any rate,
Elijah learned the lesson he needed
to know-that a soul in Sarepia was
worth as much in Gods sight as one
in Israel, and that every woman
from Zidon was not necessarily as
corrupt as Jezebel. Cherith was a
necessary experience for Elijah;
there he learned, his absolute de-
pendence upon God. Zarephath was
just as necessary for him; There he
learned to have fellowship with 9TH
ers who were not Of his own way
of thinking. Ah but he learned
more; for the sickness and death,
and resuscitation of her boy brought
this heather woman to realize her
own sinfulness and Gods abundant
mercy and led her to give herself
to Him.
A fascinating character was this
prophet from Gilead, the man who
stood before the living God. He
prayed and it rained not; he prayed
and was cared for; he prayed and a
life was restored. And yet Elijah
was a man of like passions with our
