BROOKLAND SNOW
REMOVAL URGED
President Turner Tells Citi.
zens' Body Duty Under
Legal Difficulty.

Now that the snow removal law ap-
parent!y cannot be enforced in the
District, President L. w. Turner of
The Brookland Citizens Association
last night exhorted the residents of
Brookland to take such steps without
the necessity of such a law. He made
this statement during a talk at the
meeting of the association in the
Brookland Masonic Hall.
I'VE were among those who favored
passage of such legislation" he said.
Now that it cannot be enforced, we
should stand in the forefront in re-
moving the snow without the eompuI-
sion of such law. IT is a real civic
duty. 1t means something for your
neighbor and for yourself II all are

none will have to tramp through
ever, showed that Brookland would
not be remiss in speedy cleaning Of
sidewalks from snow"
Already the annual spring cleanup
campaign is being broached in Brook
land. Arrangements were made at
the meeting to put the campaign
under way in the next month. APP
pointment of special committees for
Investigations along certain lines was
authorized. and the appointees will
be named WITHIN the next lew weeks.
Following the meeting an informal
conference was held by DR.. Redmond
Mayo, A. w. Phelps, and Messrs. Lewis
and Wilson-regarding the establish
ment of q neighborhood newspaper
in Brookland. 1t was decided to in
vestigate the advisability of starting
such a periodical and to canvass the
neighborhood informally to discover
what degree of support such publi-
cation would receive from Brookland
business interests. as well as to in
quire into suitable means for the
collection and handling of news of
the community.

WHEAT PRICES HIGHER
DURING ACTIVE WEEK
Opinion Prevails That Present
Prices Are Too Low When Com
pared With Other Staples.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. February 10. - Active
buying. apparently for eastern inter-
ests and based to a considerable eX-
tent on opinion that wheat was too
low in price as judged against other
staples, has lifted the wheat mark ct
this week to a higher level of values.
Compared with week ago, wheat
this morning was up rs to as a
bushel. Corn showed a gain of l %
to 2k; oats. q to IL, and provisions,
to II.
Great relative strength of May
wheat. the delivery OF which repre-
sents supplies on hand as distinguish
ed from the prospective new crop.
has been one of the most striking
features of the wheat market through
out the week. In this connection. a
continued falling off In the volume
or receipts at primary terminals has
attracted special notice and appeared
to emphasize bullish confidence that
on the immediate showing wheat was
too cheap as compared with the COM
modify list as a whole
Further optimism on the part OF
wheat buyers was associated in some
quarters with far-reaching effects
looked for through settlement of the
British war debt to the United States.
Fluctuating chances of peace and
war in the near east had much to do
with various temporary price changes
in the wheat market, but failed TO
alter, except in q transient way, the
general upward course of values. In
like manner. snow and rain in the
winter crop belt merely offset as a
market factor the opposing influence
of a preceding extreme cold wave.
Gossip that proposed farm Iegisla-
ton had lost impetus, failed also to
act as q permanent weight, on the
market.
Corn and oats followed the leader
ship of wheat.
Provisions averaged higher with
hogs.

Commerce Department Report:
Slump in Foreign Trade Since
Previous Year.

The total value of American mer-
chandise exports during 1922 was s3.-
s31,s32,1ss, compared to $4,4s5,o31, 356
in 1921. .. ~
Although a complete analysis of
merchandise exports during the year
is not yet available. the annual total.
as made public today by the Com
merce Department, indicated that a
falling off in trade with Canada and
European countries, together with a
smaller falling off in trade with South
America, was the cause of the de-
crease in-exports for 1922. compared
with 1921. tE.'.
The notable decreases were in ex-
ports to the United Kingdom, Ger
many and Italy Large decreases are
also shown in exports to Mexico, Ar

HOUSE DEBT VOTE.
IS HELP TO BONDS
Liberties Especially Aided by
Quick Passage of Fund.-
ing Bin.
BY. GEORGE r., HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 1o.-The
quick passage of the debt-fundipg
bill in the House Friday by large
majority benefited liberty bonds to-
day and was sentimentally of value
throughout the entire list.
The feature of the short trading to-
day was the sensational rise in sugar
bonds. particularly the Eastern Sugar
7hs, which advanced r. points. while
Cuba Cane Sugar convertible SIS were
at the highest in over a year. Ameri-
can Sugar IS were also strong.
Other bonds were quiet and not
greatly changed, although fractional
advances were shown in a few of the
speculative rails, notably the Seaboard
Air Lines.
Financing this week amounted to
over 0,000 900. of which the larger
part represented municipal and public
utility issues. There probably will
be a number of quite large issues
next week.

NEW YORK. February 10.-Smoke

That was the opinion expressed in
no uncertain terms among exhibitors

lied industries exposition here today
Shortage Of raw material, they de-
clared,- shortly would force manufac-
turers to advance prices on their ci-

Havana Crop Short,
"The last Havana crop was short.
and prices on Havana tobacco now
prevailing are likewise extremely
high. Unless there is rainfall in the
Santa Clara and Remedies districts of
new Cuban crop will be small, al.
/ though a tremendous acreage has
been planted. This will mean enor7

one-half the cigars manufactured In
the United States-the supply Of these
materials is limited, and is all In
manufacturers hands. The new crops
which will be sold in Amsterdam
within the next few months are ex-
pected to bring extremely high prices.
1T seems to me that the only rem
edy for the cigar manufacturer, in
order to reimburse himself for the
lever-increasing cost Of his raw ma

his cigars. This will be a very diff
