confidence in higher prices being ap-
parent. The market closed heavy. ~

Almost as soon as the wheat market
opened prices showed tendency to de-
cline. Downturns in foreign quotations
had disturbing effect. 1t soon became
evident that yesterdays persistent ef-
forts to realize on holdings were being
continued by numerous dealers. In some
quarters the desire was manifest to lot
10 OF May contracts. High winds and
DUST storms in Kansas led to vigorous
rally in the middle of the session, but
the effect on the market failed to last
and the closing was at about the days
lowest level, with May down more than
five cents compared with yesterdays top
figures. The volume of business was
considerably reduced from the big total
that has been the rule of late.
Corn and oats declined with wheat
and as a result of reports that the In
terstate Commerce Commission had dis
approved lower freight rates on grain
from Minneapolis to the East. Some
what of an offset was found in figures

A representative of Kuhn, Loeb

that the action will be merely an au-
thorization to safeguard the company.
He said that there istaio plan now Tor

Central in a letter to stockholders, sa'd
In part:
1.-The work for which new capital viii
be required is to be done within tho
next eighteen years, and 1t is divided
into various stages running over that
period. The contract ordinance with
Chicago, passed July ], 1919. was ac-
cepted after much consideration in the
belief that the improvements conten,-
plated will be productive and remunera-
tive and will permit the use for rail-
road purposes of much valuable real
estate of the company which otherwise
would be practically useless.
"The board of directors has decided
that the financing necessary to carry
out the improvements can best be done
by issue of preferred stock. Increasing
the amount OF capital stock relative 10
bonded indebtedness increases safety,
since thereby no addition is made IA
fixed charges which must be met. The
effect should be to improve the credit
of the company and enable it to borrow
upon more favorable terms in the future
IL and when necessary for other pur-
poses.
"The preferred stock. If authorized by
the stockholders, would be high grade
investment security and should be
readily salable as and when funds are
needed The directors do not think u
practicable under present market condi-
tions to issue more common stock.

Anticipate Little Buying.

For the remainder of this month re-
tailers and manufacturers anticipate
slack buying in all lines. February is
described as a. hating time for the
average consumer to survey his needs
and do his initial spring shopping. Sales
in general are exhausted, at least as
far as attracting purchasers. Retail
spring buying Is expected to get under
way about the middle of March, out
consumers will find less to choose from
than ever before. Stocks moved in are
limited as to numbers and prices and
generally consist of only conservative
merchandise. for which there is utility
demand.
