Wheat Advance
Feature of Week
In Trade Markets

| New York. Jan. 1S-(ByA. P.)-
4, Another series of constructive de-
! velopments last week gave further
business. Despite the appearance of
a "breaking spell in some indus
tries. all signs pointed to continue
alton of commercial progress. with
encouraging evidences of improve
merits in certain lines that have been
under a general slackness.
| Operations in the steel industry ex-
banded to IS percent of capacity,
with the mills of the U. S. Steel Cor
poration operating at 95 percent ca
pacity. The slight falling off in or
ders in industrial circles was regard
ed as a naturual and healthfuls de-
| velopment.
One of the outstanding favorable
developments of the week in it's eff
feet on business sentiment was the
, rise in grain prices. which carried
wheat above the 81 level and the
price of May option at one time 1.S8

, resenting an advance Of more than
20 percent within the last year.
Gasoline price advances in the east,
which We're the first since November
counteracted the unfavorable influ
ence of another increase in weekly
crude oil production. The price re-
visions reflected the heavy drain Of
gasoline stocks which have been
made recently. while at the same time
| it was reported that crude oil stocks
were being withdrawn from storage
| to meet refiners demands.
The railroad year started off auSpi-
ciouSly with an increase of 118,S47 in
car loadings over the corresponding
period of 1924. The total for the
week ended January 3 stood at 1885,
725 cars. The only shadow on the
| railroad horizon appeared in the
northwest. Having failed to earn it's
fixed charges in 1924. the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad Com
pany began examination of it's finan-
cial position preparatory to meeting

the road were hopeful that the re-

the current overflow of gold from the

Electric Clock
System for EcEloOls

An electric clock was. installed in
the superintendent Of schools Office
in the city building Saturday and it
is now hoped by superintendent Clio
yer that a uniform time will prevail
in all the schools in the city.
The clock is not to be connected
with the school buildings bur the
principals will be able to ascertain
the time by having their clocks on
the same minute with that in the su-
perntendentS office. Recently it was
found out that the clocks of the sem
lor high school were all wrong, one
OF them more than an hour. The
time system of the new junior high
school is functioning perfectly and,
for the time being at least, it will not
be necessary for the principal to call
the office to see that the school is on
the same schedule with the rest.

where the maximum amount of

sort of window is easiest to see

Baltimore Board Wins
Injunction to Protect
Use of Word Realtor

An injunction against the author
lied use of the term Realtor has lust
been issued by a Baltimore court at
the complaint of the Real Estate
Board of Baltimore and the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
The court has issued temporary in
junction and this is being followed
by bill asking for permanent in
junction.
The defendant in the case, Marse
S. Galloway, trading as Galloway &
Galloway, is enjoined against using
in his stationery or advertising
the term held exclusively by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards to designate an active mem
ber in good standing of one of it's
constituent boards.
A new angle of the case is the cir
cumstance that the non-member firm
has made use not only of the men,
bership designation Realtor but of
the triangular emblem of the Real
Estate Board of Baltimore, which has
been in use by members of the board
for many years. The emblem plainly
bears the boards name.
