those bodies are probably made
az different and more tenuoua

cal bodies. In his book Ray

of these bodies, saying:

enter the material realm, and
either clothe itself with. or tenn

"It may be that ethereal bodies
do not exist: the burden of proof
rests upon those who conceive
of their possible existence; but we
are bound to admit that even IL
they did exist, they would make
no impression on our senses.
Hence If there are any inteHi-

If they can in any sense be sup

but some substantial gains were re- corded, particularly by the securities of some of the large holding compa- nies created in connection with su- |per-power projects. The gradual re- covery of the packing and leather industries from the effects of post war depression was mirrored by the improvement shown in those shares.
 The only important groups which failed to share extensively in the general prosperity were the radio, textile and sugar stocks. Radio shares suffered from the effects of over-pro duction and price cutting which fol- lowed the over-capitalization of many of those issues in the excited spec ulatlve movement last Spring. Weak ness of textile issues was natural result of poor trade conditions which led to several failures and the pass ing of dividends by many companies some of which had enjoyed a long record of uninterrupted payments. of producing companies were weak because of the extremely low prices obtained for the raw Gu ban and American product as a re- suit of European competition.

YEARLY STOCK
 MARKET REVIEW
 BY ASSO. PRESS

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. P)-Business prosperity in 1925 was anticipated and reflected by the great bull movement in the stock market, which broke all records for volume in the history of the New York Stock Exchange. The averages of twenty leading railroad and twenty leading industrial issues, compiled by The Associated Press, reached the highest levels ever record ed in the final quarter of the year.
 Cheap credit, resulting from the ac- emulation here of huge stocks of sur plus gold, provided the background for the advance in stock prices which continued, with only two major inter- ruptions, turnout the year The out standing features of the industrial situation, which also had a direct bearing on the price movement of se- curities, were the huge volumes of freight traffic, steel ingot production,

bank clearings, building construction and automobile production, all of
 which establish new high records dur ing 1925, the absence of unemploy-
 ment and the increased purchasing
 power of the farmer.
 Most foreign developments also were bullish in character Chief of these was the ratification of the Lo- carno treaties voluntarily entered into by Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and some of the new European Republics for the purpose of guaran- teeing the peace of Central Europe. The return of Great Britain to the gold standard and the funding of the Italian, Belgian, Czecho-Slovakian and Roumanian depts to the United States also were regarded by international bankers as important milestones in the worlds slow recovery from the de vastating economic effects of the war.
