The door opened, and manservant
stood outlined against the light Of the

round-faced, and vacuous. Though he
was still in the thirties, he appeared

he stared past the callers profile with

it subtly conveyed to Renshaw the i'm

the actual threshold Of Tawno Ker, he
was still waiting on it's doorstep. He
nodded and seated himself on a carved

entrance. The servant disappeared
through a door opening into a room or
the same side Of the hall. Almost i'm

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, February 21.-High-
yielding issues were again confidently
bought, with st. Louis-San Francisco
obligations among the leaders. Ad-
vances were scored by both the ad-
justment and the income bonds of
the last-named road, the theory being
that interest charges on these two
issues now contingent would become
fixed If the road were made a part
of another system. as is currently
reported to be the plan.
The ST. Louis-San Francisco prior
lien series were also strong on the
assumption that their investment
status would be improved by any
merger. Other recent favorites such
IS New Haven IS, /. G. N. adjustments.
Chicago and Eastern Illinois 5s and
the Seaboard bonds generally were
in demand.
High-grade rails held around the
best prices of the year. Short term
securities were in favor. such as
Colorado Southern As. The significant
fact is that notwithstanding all the
talk about higher money bonds are
at the highest for the past six years
and show no signs of weakening
This calculation is based on a COM
oination of high-grade and semi
speculative securities,
There was too m.Sh doubt about
politlcal conditions abroad, especially
in the case of France, to permit this
part of the list to participate in the
strength elsewhere. At the same time
it must be admitted there was no real
weakness even in the French group.
For the present the important sup
port which has been in evidence most
of the week appears effective.

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, February 21.-Selling on
the part of holders both of wheat and
corn pulled down prices today during
the early dealings. Some of the SELL
ing of wheat resulted from standing
orders to stop losses at certain limits.
Buying support for the market was
lacking except from previous sellers
who were in position to collect a
profit. The opening, which varied
from unchanged figures to is lower,
May 1.S4 to 1.84% and July 1881 to
1.53&, was followed by material de-
clines all around and then by rallies,
which, however. failed to last we'll
Corn weakness was accentuated by
the fact that cash demand was slow.
After opening at II to 1 cent off, May
1.2S to 1.2SA, the market underwent
an additional sag and then recovered
somewhat.
Oats went down grade with wheat
and corn, starting at Il to l lower
May 52A to 525s, and showing but
little power to react.
Higher quotations on hogs gave a
lift to provisions

WEEK SEES WHEAT
ANDCORN HIGHER
Decrease in Visible Supply
and Reports of Worthless
Seed Are Special Factors.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, February 21.-Despite
many rapid shifts. the general tend
ency of the wheat market has been
upward this week, helped by asser-
tions that supplies of wheat in the
United States would be only suffi-
cient for domestic needs during April,
May and. June next. Compared with
a week ago, wheat this morning was
u to 3B higher. corn l q to 2% up,
oats unchanged to IL lower and pro-
visions varying from 10a12 to SO
gain.
Receipts Falling on.
1t was pointed out that generally
the demand from abroad for wheat
becomes most urgent in the three
months named, and that a decided
falling off in the volume OF receipts
at domestic primary markets Is at
present we'll under way. In this
connection, however, failure of United
States visible supplies to decrease as
rapidly as had been looked for was
rather disconcerting to would-be
promoters of higher prices.
On the other hand, many countries
were mentioned as having yet un-
filled big requirements of bread
stuffs,, with India's new crop out
look precarious and the 1925 Russian
harvest threatened to be a failure.
Toward the end of the week favor
able reports as to the outlook for the
new Winter wheat crop in the United
States attracted considerab BILE atten-
ton. With the crop described as al
ready greening up in the southern
portions Of the wheat belt, July and
September deliveries went to a wider
discount in price as compared with
May.
Good Gain in Corn.
Corn owed much Of its gain this
week to reports that so per cent of
seed corn Is worthless. Besides, a big
decrease of the movement Of corn to
primary centers was noted. Immense
stocks of oats available tended to
pull down the oats markets

RAILS LEAD MARKET.
BY STUART Y. WEST.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, February 21.-The
medium and low priced rails were
the leaders on the stock exchange
today. The whole list. with very
few exceptions, shared the strength
I'm this quarter. The buying in such
stocks as Rock Island, Kansas City
Southern, Missouri Kansas Texas,
Wabash and ST. Louis Southwestern,
carrying them in some instances to
new high prices, was in greater
volume than Wall Street has seen in
weeks. 1t was a repetition of the
great speculation which set in when
the idea of railway mergers and
favorable dividend action was first
conceived in speculative quarters.
st. PauI an Exception.
The notable exception to the trend
of prices in the railway section was
the St Paul securities. They were
actively sold, the preferred and COM
mon stocks sinking to new lows for
the year and the per cent bonds of
1925 also dropping to bottom hgures.
This was obviously reflection of the
doubt which has spread regarding
St. Pauls ability to meet its refund
ing requirements this year.
In the last half hour the keen edge
appeared to be off the speculation in
the ower-priced rails and in various
individual stocks. Realizing sales
had their effect, which was only
natural in view of the sharp upbid-
ding of prices which had occurred on
Friday and again today. Nimble
traders were switching from the rails
to other active favorites or were
evening up over the double holiday.
American Loco Gains.
American Locomotive, advancing TO
much the highest prices it has sold
took the lead away from Baldwin
Locomotive The latter reflected
rather heavy profit taking. American
Steel Foundry rose to a new top.
American Can went ahead sharply,
and in the speciality group some of
the features were Savage Arms,
Beechnut Packing. Park and Tilford
and Allied Chemical.
