Developments Indicate That
Foreign Finances Are
Being Clarified,
FRANCS, MARKS LOWER
InduSuiaIS Are Weak Due to
Heavy Selling in Motor
Stock Trade.
By WaU Street Journal

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Sterling's
advance Of one cent in the early deal
ings further reflected the good feel
ing engendered by the British accept
ance of American debt terms.
Francs and marks sold off from
Wednesdays close. but despite this
easier tone it was generally felt in the
financial community that other de-
veIopments had served to clarity the
foreign situation.
IndustriaIs were disturbed by heavy
selling of motors which was precip-
itated in the first hour by the acute
weakness displayed by Durant on the
curb. Chandler broke to .617s against
Wednesdays high of 6723, Studebaker
TO 1884 against ISIS and General
Motors to 1874 against II. Despite
pressure on this section of the market,
the general list was steady. Steel
common was supported above Wednes-
days 10 wand rails showed few indi-
cations Of prOft-taking.
A banker in close touch with L. S.
Steel's affairs made a wager that in
the current quarter, steel would show
a surplus after dividends of more than
S10,00O,0 900. In order to do so, steel
would have to show earnings Of be
tween S35, 100000 and S40,000,000.
When one considers that steel in the
last three years charged against the
net income $4,000, 600 total in ex-
cess of the market value Of the out
standing capital st. k Of Midvale,
Lackawanna and Republic, a deficit Of
a utle over 100000 appears in
significant.
Twenty active industrial stocks
Wednesday averaged 97.43, off 80 per
cent; twenty active rails averaged
S6.26, off % per cent.

Grain Briefs

CHICAGO. Feb. Winter wheat condi-
tions throughout the Southwest, with the
execution of parts of Kansas and Oklahoma,
were reported favorably in the government
report
Export trade in wheat from the United
States to the continent was slow, with
Russian and Argentine quotations under
biddinE Heavy shipments in Europe with
restricted purchasing was the prediction Of
traders.
Extensive rye sales from Russia were re-
ported, but aggressive buying was absent
here with the market steady.
Congestion of wheat in Eastern terminals
and slow cash demand featured Eastern
reports.

Slow Foreign Demand Acts as
Drag on Market,
By United Financial

ny GWtttH + HtuHttut
CHICAGO, Feb. AL grain prices
opened lower on the Board of Trade
today. due to depressing Liverpool ca
bles and reports of rain throughout
the Southwest wheat belt.
A continued lack of export buying
and slow foreign demand halted bust
ness at the seaboard and materially
slowed up trade on the local market
Rain over the Argentine corn belt,
which had been suffering from
drought, had a depressing effect on
the local market. The domestic de
mand was also light.
Trade in both oats and rye was
slow. Prices were practically IN
changed, with oats lower.

been general throughout the list. The
top price paid for extra choice lights

$3.50 down while sows sold down from

day. Receipts touched 5000 with 291
followers. A falling outside market
was assigned as the reason for the
drop.
The cattle market was dull from
the opening with prices tending to de

The calf market was very active but
prices held about steady. Light re-

ably be hung in the hall OF martyrs

the bottom of the hill he switched
on the spark again. resulting in an
explosion of the muffler which threw

not Experts might not agree with
the judges who arrogate to them
selves the right to edit everybody's

should any trials" be held at all?
Why not simply allow two or three
of the narrowest minded of this

throw out of print any book of

prove?
The greatest library in the an
cient world was once destroyed at
Alexandria by the order of n Mos
lem general. His logic was i~rrefuti-
BILE. He said that if the books
there contained agreed in principle
with the Koran they were not need
ed; and if they didn't agree with
the Koran they were immoral any
way.
Some such line Of reasoning is
being followed by the Rev. Henry
Bowlby. of the Lords Day Alliance,
the Society for the Suppression Of
Vice, and other individuals and II
gl~uizations which have the temerity
to back this bill. But just how are
these worthless going to preserve
the Christian Bible for posterity, if
their should by any mis-
chance be inacted into q law7
