NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Stocks
gave a good account of themselves
in the first two hours trading on
the stock exchange today. No
doubt the bulk of the demand came
from shorts for whom yesterdays
market action contained a warning
that the present seems not pro-
pitious for wholesale operations for
the decline Such wild gyrations
as were witnessed yesterday in
General Electric and Corn Products
created a good deal Of timidity in
the bear camp.
Among the representative groups
the steels and the oils were firm.
The latter were stimulated by fur.
Their crude and refined oil increases
at various points, the most i'm.
portant being the advances posted
by the Standard of California. Pro-
ducers and Refiners were excep.
tionally strong. but Sinclair disclosed
weakness due to the testimony of.
fered Monday in the Teapot Dome
Investigation.
Buying of Steel common was of
the best sort. Besides the virtual
dSSuLdiCS that EoICSI OIl OGlOLS VIII
declare another extra dividend at
next weeks meeting, it was limited
in some quarters that a change in
the capital structure is imminent.
Independent steels acted well, the
growing activity in the steel mills
and further stiffening of pig iron
prices in the Chicago district being
a sustaining influence.
Of Cy%i
ulated buying of stocks of depart.
ment stores on the theory that re-
tail sales of winter necessities will
be greatly increased by the sudden
change from recent unseasonaDIe
conditions General Electric added
another four points to yesterdays
sensational gain, rumors of a split
up being persistently circulated in
spite of constant denials by Of
ficials of the organization. Corn
Products, however, sold off about
2 points, Can stocks, Hayes Wheel
and Cast Iron Pipe were strong
features. Representative issues
like Baldwin and Studebaker We're
slow in getting started. although
in the second hour they spurted
along with the rest of the list.
Railroad shares were neglected.
Call money renewed at per cent.
Foreign exchanges were higher,
except the Scandinavian rates
which were again depressed.
Cotton futures showed rallying
tendencies.

There is a widespread impression

He is no such thing. l was very

BY LUTHER A. HUSTON,

LONDON, Jan. %. - Although
Great Britain's transportation sys.
TEN was still disorganized by a ma
tional strike of railway locomotive
engineers and firemen, the situation
took a turn for the better today
Officials of the National Union Of
Railway Men continued to seek a
settlement because the strike had
been called by rival organization
and the leaders of the strikers sent
a letter to the railway companies
offering to enter into. a conference
for an adjustment of the wage dis
pute.
It was claimed that the strikers
are weakening in some districts and
that some of the engineers returned
to work.
About 10000 miners are idle as a
result of the failure of the rail COM
panies to move coal.

HUGE MERGER IN

REPORTED
Dozen Large Companies Plan
Combine, Headed by Nor
gan interests.

| NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-An oil
combine which would merge pos.
sibly dozen large independent oil
companies, having a capitalization
of more than 100000. was be,
ing discussed today in Wall Street
as likelihood, despite denials by
some of those mentioned as being
involved in the huge plan.
The MOrIan interests, headed by
J. +. Morgan & Co., according to
one version of the reported com
bine, We're leading the movement
to form one huge producing and
| marketing organization. The COM
bined it was said, would involve
such companies as the Marland
Oil Company. Mentioned among
prospective members of the merger
were the Marland Oil Company, the
Standard Oil Company of Nebraska
| the Pierce Oil Company, the Mutual
Oil Company, the Continental Oil
Company, the Phillips Petroleum
| Company and the Sapulpa Refining
Company.
| @NAsSA Ao1bA w SOSA SwVNAAs
There is nothing in the report,
SO far as / know" E. w. Marland,
president of the Marland Oil Com
pany said today. THE Marland
Oil Company will dispose of block
of about 100000 shares of stock to
a New York banking firm and
details of this transaction will be
| issued in a few days. The proceeds
Of this sale will be devoted TO the
EXTENSION of the Marland Oil Com.
pany's facilities"
The reputed failure of the Sin.
clair Oil Company interests to OBJ.
tain the block of stock mentioned
by Mr.. Marland was reported to
have led to abandonment by the
| Sinclair interests of leadership In
another proposed oil combine. One
report today said the Morgan inter
ests would obtain this stock. The
Marland company itself was formed
| in 1920, seven companies combin
ing to form it.
| Frank Phillips, of the Phillips
Petroleum Company, likewise ISSUED
a denial that any such merger al
reported was under contemplation
Several individual combines were
said to be under consideration by
some of the companies mentioned
as being involved in the larger
proposed deal.

pany would later absorb the Sa

REAL JOYS ARE SPIRITUAL

Someone has said that the mother
OF debauchery is not 10y, but joyless-
ness.
If that is true, then you have. a reas
on for the debauchery that has soak
ed the world in blood and death.
There is no joy in sordid material
ism.
There is no joy in extreme selfish
ness.
There is no joy in loose passion
greed, and gluttony.
There is no JOY IN materialism, muir
der, war, disaster
The real joy that feeds the soul
is. the joy that comes from the spirit
ual things and from the spiritual con-
ception of things, and, from partici-
patton in the spiritual things Of life.
Therefore, if materialism has pro-
duced debauchery, if the joyless life
has resulted in the drunken debauch
to drown the monotony and to awak-
en- the sleeping cords Of happiness,
then let the people understand that
they can come away from that dead
~ monotony.
He who eats of the material food
will hunger. He who eats of that
Bread which cannot be provided by
the world never hungers, and he is
never cursed with a joyless moment
or with dull, monotonous hour.
The debauchery of life can be pre-
vented by the spiritual power and
food that come with the salvation
furnished by Christ.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-02-14
a REVIVAL IS COMING

Men must turn from the material
madness of this hour.
There is no salvation in the things
of the world.
The kingdoms of this world have
utterly failed to feed the soul, SOM
fort the heart, bind the bruised spir-
It. soothe the aching head, and give
mankind an outlook of hope and sal
walton.
Men must come back to God.
They must appeal to Christ.
They must listen to the Holy Spirit.
Yea. they must be born again.
Serious men are thinking these
things. Consecrated Christians are
preparing for the coming revival
There is no repentance after death.
There will be no preaching in hell.
No one will have a chance to be
saved after he has closed his eyes IN
death.
Men are staying away from the
church because they are AFRAID 10 IFS
ten to the gospel. That is sign OF
the coming revival.
Men are lodging ministers. That IS
sign of the movement of the con
science.
Evil men are hating and prosecuting
Christian ministers who believe II
the blood of Christ. That is sign OF
the approaching day Of repentance. +
The rustic of the wings Of the spir
Of eternal hope and salvation can be
heard.
Ministers and churches shoult
awake and begin to pray.
The revival is coming.
