SEEDING AT PEAK.

~HELENA.-Wheat seeding is in
full swing in most Montana counties,
and weather and growing conditions
are ideal, according to reports re-
ceived by the state department Of ag-
riculture. Farmers generally, the
reports say, are optimistic over crop
prospects. Winter wheat suffered
little damage from the cold weather
of late March. Grass is green and
beginning to offer good pasturage.
Need for rain is reported from Lake,
Lewis and Clark, Pondera, Prairie,
Chouteau, Fallon, Richland, Stillwa-
ter, Gallatin, and Hill counties. La
Dor generally is well balanced. There
is some demand for farm hands in
Valley, Pondera, Phillips and Fallon
counties.

WOLVES Trimmed OFT.

L-EWISTOWN.-Only 25 wolves are
known to be ranging in Montana, ac-
cording to R. E. Bateman of Billings,
in charge Of the biological survey bu-
reau. When the work of wiping them
cut was begun in 1915, said Mr.. Bate
man, there were several good-sized
packs in various sections Of the state.
The reduction in number is due to the
relentless war waged by government
trappers. There are still a few
mountain lions and Canadian lynx in
the forests, but coyotes are the worst
pests now, being numerous and widely
scattered. Barney Brennin, a gov
eminent trapper in the Utica dis
trict, killed rs wolves, more than $50
coyotes, and some other predatory
animals within 18 months, Mr.. Bate
man reported.

sources for the rehabilitation Of the
economic fabric.
Oficials point out that the crown
jewels are only one or many re-
sources that Russia, IL pressed. might
convert into cash; others include
mining and oil concessions and mu-
scum treasures, among them several
hundred paintings by such masters
as Rubens, Rembrandt. Van Dyk and
Raphael. valued at $1OOO,000,OO0.
The Soviet officials are determined,
however, not to part with the mu-
scum treasures.
The Associated Press today OBJ
tained the first complete and accu-
rate description of the regal en-
blems from official sources. The
jewels date from Peter the Great to
Nicholas II. They comprise 4O6 sep
arate pieces OF jewelry; the total
weight of the diamonds, alone IL 25.-
800 carats; pearls $500: sapphires,
400; emeralds, 800: and uncut ru-
bies 1900, and also a great variety
Of miscellaneous stones.
No other historical collection OF
gems, whether royal or private, &C.
cording to the Russian officials, app
proaches the crown jewels, either in
value or historical interest. The
present collection does not represent
all the Russian crown jewels, only
those covering the last 200 years. The
jewels worn by Russian potentates
prior to the 18th century are still
in the Kremlin at Moscow or the
Hermitage Gallery at Leningrad.
The Jewels offered for sale are APP
praised by Russian, French and
Czechoslovak gem experts, at 1854,
100000, in the average of their es-
Inmates, about $50,OO0,0O0 greater
than Russia's debt to the United
States.
OF the 400 items in the collection
25 percent were supplied by Peter
the Great, 40 percent by Elizabeth,
Catherine the Great and Paul: 25
percent by Alexander I, and Nicholas
I, 10 percent by Alexander II and
Alexander III, and 5 percent by
Nicholas II.
So, contrary to general belief, the
last car and czarina were relatively
moderate In their expenditures for
crown Jewels. Conspicuous among
the collection are three noble
crowns. The largest Of these. the
Imperial crown of all the Russians"
was made for the coronation of
Catherine the Great in 1862 and con-
tains 1895 diamonds, Is huge pearls
and many other large stones. Sur
mounting the crown is a superb cross
of diamonds supported by an uncut
ruby Of 402 carats. one of the worlds
largest. Resembling the dome form
ed by the mitre. this diadem typifies
the association of the sovereign with
the patriarchate, and is valued at

BUSINESS HOLDS
UP STEADY FIRST
MONTH OF new YEAR

New York, Jan. II. (By The As
ISOLATED Press)-The deliberate paAe
Of business activities so far this yen
has done little to clarity the trend
OF 1926 trade. With one month gone
by, the only tangible clue to the situ-
alton has been the retention of the
ublie's buying interest on the same
rational business which prevailed in
the latter part of 1925 without any
noticeable extension Of these gains.
The best guage Of general condi-
tions. both from an earning and an
operation standpoint was supplied
last week by the steel industry. Al
though still confident that the prom
Use Of another year Of good business
would be fulfilled, manufacturer did
not disguise the fact that orders have
been developing more slowly than
had been anticipated. At the same
time fresh resistance to the present
level Of prices has been encountered,
with seveal consuming industries
making organized drives to obtain
material at a lower cost.
This situation was interpreted by
the weekly trade reviews as signify
ing the well-eovered position of buy
ers and their complaceny in dis
counting future needs, although
present prospects indicate that these
win be heavy. One OF The largest
manufacturers reported, however,
that inquiries from railroads, syuin-
ment makers and builders were
heavy with only the demand from
the automobile industry showing
signs Of diminishing.
Chief interest in the earnings re-
ports Of the United States and Beth
ilehem Steel Corporations, made pub
lie last week, centered in the rather
narrow margin of profits in the face
Of last years record production OF
steel ingots. In neither case was the
enormous volume Of business trans
lated into swollen profits, largely be-
cause Of the lower prices maintained
Of the y. s. Steel Corporation. Tor
instance, exceeded $l6s, 0eo, 600, q
gain of about $122,000,ooo ever 1894.
but they were far from eQualling
those OF 1873. 1890 or the record.
breaking wartime years.
The confusion Of business Tandem.
cies ives reflected In the cautious
tenor Of the weekly mercantile re-
views, one Of which noted IN appAr-
ent slowing up In trade and industry
while another than encouraging preg-
poets predominated. Manufacturing
and distributing lines are more Ac-
tive than q year ago. but Il must b
conceded that they are not moving
with the speed exhibited earlier In
the month. said Bradstreet's. Duu's
held that even IN lines where results
had, not wholly met expectations, a.
in the principal metal trades, 1t was
recognised that potential needs were
heavy and that fundamental condi.
tions ware strong, 4-4-rs.
