Some Senior Doings.


 It is an ambitious program the seniors have marked out for them selves. The road the senior treads from now on will be fraught with ex- citement galore With the attention of every first class man rivited on ways and means of earning money to cover the trip to the capitol, there looms up on the horizon the mid-year to strike terror in even the hardest Senior breast. These mid-year tests are scheduled for February. Before that time the Seniors must complete all plans for the Washington journey, staged and presented the elaborate Pig Tail Day program, planned and put over the semi-annua1 prom in the gymnasium, give the necessary atten- ton to the athletic teams, and at the same time, give strict attention to scholastic standing.
 All these activities within two months, and the pathway of the Sem for fraught with pitfalls on every side. It is all too easy to let one's enthusiasm for ones social obliga- tions to ones class run away from the importance of maintaining the hustle and hustle of high school life the percentage of failures during the hectic season are surprisingly Jew.
 Sandwiched in between the dance and the exams is the much heralded coming of the famous Brown Glee Club whose tours in the past under high school invitation have met with so much success. The committee in charge of this musical treat includes Charles Denny, chairman, Dorothy Bosworth, Elizabeth F'itzgibbons, Dora Royston, Sam Slavatsky. and Arthur Birmingham.
 Many of the Session Room teachers who are in a position to help Seniors carry on their work remark that this years first class is a truly remark able organization, it's workers cap able and efficient.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright, 1922

New York, March 10.-As a rule
prices were little changed on the
curb market today. There were
some noticeable exceptions, how
ever. One was R. ]. Reynolds To-
bacco, which made another new
high well above "A It was remark
able that this upward movement
should have ben started at the very
time when the company was en-
gagged in sharp price cutting war
with the American Tobacco. An
other feature was Cities Service old
common stock, which moved up
several points. Still another fea-
ture was Columbia Petroleum,
which was the active leader of the
low priced oils Boston and Mon
tana was heavily dealt in at high
er prices on the report of a new
discovery of ore at the property.
After further strength at the start,
Phillip Morris ran into profit tax
ing and lost its early gain. Postum
about a point and Gillette Safety
Razor was bid up sharply. The
Durant Motors were higher in SYM
pathy with strength in the motor
stocks on the big board Goodyear
and GoIdwyn Pictures, which were
favorites earlier in the week, felt
the effect of profit taking.
Cities Service bankers shares
were strong in keeping with the
rise in the old common. Pure Oil
rights were heavily dealt in around
yesterdays high. There was bet
ter demand for Kirby Petroleum
and Standard Oil of Indiana was
strong. Other oils were compare
lively neglected.
In the bond market New Haven
tours were bid up rather briskly,
while marlborough Rapid Transit
rs lost a point, following the course
of traction issues in the general
bond market American Tobacco

Bond Market

New York, March I0.-The new
est and most impressive indication
of the strength OF the market for
investment securities was the &C
tive demand at rising prices for
the standard railway issues. Dur
ing the last few days bonds have
been working upward under the in
f1uence of easier money rates, and
the cumulative effect of this factor
asserted itself still more favorably
in today's dealings. High grade
or more and readily took the lead
from the foreign government ex-
ternal loans which remained fea-
tureless under the irregularity at
lower levels in the exchanges.
Among the most favored of the
rails were New York Central de-
benture 6s. AS they crossed 100
they almost equalled their best
price for both this year and last.
Grand Trunk rs were up point.
Canadian Northern Is, Rock Island
refunding As and Louisville & Nash
vile unified As also were notewor-
thy for their strength. Similarly
the low priced issues in this sec
ton, such as Chicago & Alton 312s,
continued firm or slightly higher.
Denver & Rio Grande consolidated
As gained nearly two points and
Ann Arbor As struck a fresh top.
Philippine Railway first mortgage
As were at their best. From the
outset transactions in Liberty and
Victory loans were heavy in the
case of the former, yesterdays final
q eotations were passed and Victory
4As held around their highest. In
the foreign government group the
South American and Danish bonds
were in greatest demand, while the
United Kingdom 51as of 1922 and
1929 as well as the Mexican As and
5s all dropped a half point to two
points.

UNEVEN SHEEP
MART FEATURE
week TRADING

U. S. Yards, Chicago. March 10
An uneven sheep market was the
feature in the livestock trade dur
ing the week. Present values for
lambs show a big decline from the
high spot, when top lots went at
$3.50. The best lambs sold at
S11 year ago. Cattle values show
a small gain compared with a week
ago. Last Friday top hogs sold at
ll-4O, while $1L55 took the best
lots year ago. Receipts were es-
tlmated at 5000 cattle, $4,000 hogs,
QUO sheep and 1000 calves.
CATTLE.
Cattle trade was steady. Some
cholce steers sold at 1895, but few
good lots were offered. Cows and
helfers held at unchanged levels.
Small lots of Gamers went steady
at $1,000 $50 while good bologna
bulls sold at $4OO@4.25. Demand
Tor calves was not active but prices
were like the day before. Bulk of
Vealers went at $9.00@S50 while
shipping calves were placed at 1915
@10.50.
HOGS.
Demand was slow from the start,
with prices 15025c off. Some
prime light stuff sold at $11.25,
while $50 pound hogs made s11.3O.
Hogs weighing 225 to 400 pounds
went at s10.75@11.00, but it was a
slow market for heavy grades.
tough packing hogs were down to
SS.5009.9O- More than $4,000 were
held over from yesterday. Pigs
were off 25@50c with good lots at
$10.00@1025.
SHEEP.
The trade was firm, few choice
lambs being offered Natives at
Sl4 were fully steady. while shorn
stuff at S13.00@13.25 also looked
strong. Best fed lambs were quot
ed at $15.5o@15.75. Few good ewes
were offered.

Market

New York, March 10.-The dry
goods market had another quiet
day with the greater part of the
trading confined to small lots. The
firm tone OF the early raw cotton
market had little effect in stimu-
lating interest in the wider print
cloths which showed few price
changes. The narrow print cloths,
which have been feature of the
market, again were in some de-
mand. Brown sheeting were being
bought in some quantity for ex-
port. but domestic business is very
slack. Pajama checks, sateens.
drills and fine goods were inactive.
The raw silk market was fairly
firm. but inactive, but there is an
increase apparent in the number
Of inquiries and a better volume of
business in thrown silks is expect
ed. Trade in broad silks and rib
bons showed a more active tone.
WOOLS.
Boston, March 10.-The wool
market continued quiet and firm
today. The slackening of the de-
mand for tweedS and other wooden
goods has been apparently coun-
ter-balanced by the strength of the
London market. Buyers are comb
ing the Ohio farms for DelaineS
and offering 40 cents a pound for
what few lots remain. Thirty-nine
cents is reported to have been offer
ed freely for Utah woods. Buying
in the South American market for

sTUDEBAKER.

The Studebaker annual report
was a hard nut for the shorts in
the stocks to crack. The curio Is
thing is that these shorts are most
ly traders who are really very bu. :.
lish on Studebaker for the long
run, but who were persuaded a
week ago that the general market
was in for a decline and accord
ingly not only sold out their long
shares, but went short we'll under
par. The irregular experience since
then has been trying one, bat
there was no evidence today that
they had yet confessed defeat. The
remarkable features in the annu IL
statement was the cash item Of
over S8,000,000 which was twice
the amount reported a year ago, the
complete wiping out during the
yead of bank loans totaling $S,500,-
600 and the indicated 1922 produc-
ton at the rate of 100000 cars as
against something over Sc 900 cars
turned out in 1921.
Wheeling and Lake Erie.
Now that Wall street has it's mind
set upon possible deals involving
the smaller railroads of the coua-
try, it is easy to get a following
for any stocks belonging to this
class. The Wheeling and Lake Erie
issues had their turn today, the
preferred making particula ly
good response to the incoming buy
ing orders. Wheeling and Lake
Erie did considerably better in the
second half of 1921, but still fell
short of covering it's fixed charges.
So far then as the earnings aie
considered there is no sufficient rea-
son for the upward movement in
Weddings stocks. But the ROAD
has figured in com binations before
and might do so again, for it oc-
cupies good strategical position.
CORN PRODUCTS.
People who have been most cor
rect on. Corn Products say that he
way to get the proper view of the
intrinsic value of the common stock
is to compare the balance sheet t
the close of 1921 with that at the
close of 1916. During these five
years there had been set up a re-
serve for plant depreciation of
1885, 600, not existing before
Miscellaneous security holdings, in
Guiding liberty bonds, have risen
S2,500,000. Bonded Indebtedness
has been reduced nearly $4,000 900
and S5,000,00O preferred stock has
been bought in. Tax reserv -,
which stood at less than $500 400
in 1916, were S7,513, 900 at the end
of 1921. The profit and loss sur
plus was $13,306, 900 five years ago
and is now $45, 900. 1t is fig
ured that the total surplus and I'M
vidided profits amount to over $50
100000 while during this accumu
/ lation S19, 100000 has been written
off property values, thus bringing
this item down to a very conserva-
tive total. The idea is that the
day is not far distant when these
treasury assets will begin to be
disbursed to holders of Corn Prod
ucts common in the shape of extra
dividends.

Chicago. March 10.-Wheat was

appeared TO be still staggering

from commission houses with east
