pany, said MT. Shreve, with the activ. 1 ity in low grade placer mining it her. aided, is alone apparently justification for the governments construction of The Alaska Railroad.
 He mentined with pleasure his visit with General Manager Noel Smith, of the railroad, who, he said, spoke of a number of side issues he has been in- vestigating for promoting industrial development in the railroad belt. Among these was lime deposit, rock for making cement, encouragement of the local canning industry through the purchase for railroad uses of home grown and canned fruits and vege- tables. He appreciated the. .immensity of the problems confronting the rail- road management in making the prop erty a self-sustaining one, and was, apparently hopeful that MT. Smith would succeed in solving it.
 Spirit Is Fine
 One of the significant things not ed by MT. Shreve in his interior visit, was the spirit of hopefulness which is prevalent among the residents who have made interior Alaska their home for years, and their unquestioning confidence in the future of the coun- try. They all seem to be anxious for the resources to be developed as rap idly as possible Undoubtedly the pro- gram of the Fairbanks Exploration Co.,, will induce others to engage in similar activities" he declared.
 Visits College at Fairbanks
 One of the most pleasant remem- brances of his interior trip is visit to the Alaska College at Fairbanks and meeting Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, it's president. Dr. Bunnell, Congress- man Shreve and MT. Lyman c. Shreve, who is also with him, are graduates of the same Pennsylvania college Bucknell University.
 MT. Shreve said he was surprised to find such an institution as that built up by Dr. Bunnell at Fairbanks. He was particularly impressed with

 TOUR OF ALASKA

"The people of Alaska started in to entertain us from almost the moment we landed at Skagway," stated 'Vett Cowles, business man of Flint, Mich, visitor in Seward for the past few days and a guest yesterday at the local Chamber of Commerce luncheon held at Fishers cafe. Accompanying MT. Cowles on the journey are Mrs. Cowles, who is very much interested in church affairs, and son Jack. They were among a group of tourists which numbered TO- which came north some weeks ago, fifty of whom made the Circle Tour, via Dawson and Fair banks. This party arrived in Seward last Sunday and practically all con- tinued on south on the s. s. Alaska. But the Cowles family have fingered, and according to MT. Cowles yester- day, because it seems as if I know |so many of you Alaskans. I never thought of Alaska as a place where one would meet people who formerly resided in the many States; for some reason I never associated them in that respect. In fact the thought of coming to this Territory held little appeal to me but having the time this year we planned to see Alaska. On the whole our trip has been very enjoy able. It has been a continual revela- tion to us. One thing has been quite apparent and that is we feel sure Alaskans on an average, are boosting more for their particular community or town than folks do in the States, for their immediate locality.'
 MT. Cowles gave the members of the organization and every seat was occupied-a brief resume of the lead ing industry of his home town. There, the Chevrolet and Buick automobile manufacturing plants are located both employing thousands of men. The Chevrolet plant turns out 5000 engines each day and assemble about 50 cars. On the other hand the Buick people turn out 1000 autos every day.

BUTTER MARKET NERVOUS
Difficult to Detect Trend as Weeks
Trading Concludes.

CHICAGO, February F.-Con-
siderable tirmness was noted on all
butter markets early in the week. and
although supplies were somewhat
limited demand was fairly active, and
the markets, on the whole. appeared
quite steady.
Because of the rather sharp f1uctua-
tionS during the latter part of Janu-
airy the markets We're already Sensi-
tive, and traders were generally I'M
certain as to what the major trend
would be, but appeared to favor lower
prices.
Receivers, under existing conditions,
We're anxious to keep goods moving
and slight accommodations were viewed
with concern even to the point of an
ticipating the following days markets
in order to interest buyers. This free
selling policy tended to increase the
senSitiyeneSS of the markets, and buy
erS began to follow a very conServa-
tive course and were critical as to
quality and reduced reserve stocks to
q minimum.
On Thursday and Friday. however,
nervous tone was noted on all mar
Rets, with some price declines effec-
tive. especially at Chicago, where buy
ing support was Withdrawn on both
the spot and future markets.
The change from the firm position
of last week to the easier, nervous
condition which prevails at the mo-
ment further unsettled the minds of
the operators as to future needs. At
the close of the week all markets APP
peared very nervous and unsettled,
with sentiment at such a wide vari-
ance that it is difficult to arrive at
any definite idea OF the future trend.

NEW YORK. February 6.-Supreme
Court Justice John Ford late yester-
day agreed TO notifications of the in
junction granted against the Con
solidated Stock Exchange restraining
ii from alleged buCketshop operations
and sales manipulations. in which no
securities changed hands.
The notifications granted were de
signed to permit the exchange to con
tinue doing business through its clear
ing house. and 10 continue marginal
trading under restricted conditions.

extend the delivery period outside the
State from SO to IS hours. The time
limit for deliveries out of the city,
but within the State. is 20 hours.

DUN REPORTS ON TRADE.

NEW YORK, February P.-
Duns Review today says:
THE present lack of further
growtf. of business in some directions
does MOI lessen confidence in the sit
uatlon geLrra,ly. Results thus far in
the new ye.Gr have not in every case
fulfilled expectations, yet there Is no
evidence OF real reaction, current sta
tistics testiIying to the continuance of
an unusually large volume of trans
actions In the aggregate.
Some markets have lately turned
more definitely against sellers, but the
decline in the monthly index number
is only about l per cent and was due
to lower prices for various foodstuffs.
rather than to easing in manufactured
products. Abatement of activity in
certain channels now, after last years
appreciable expansion, is not surpris.
ing nor does it indicate diminution
of consumption.
The facility with which supplies can
be secured in most instances be-
cause of large outputs and efficient
transportation service. tends to act as
O. brake on buying, there heiSg little
pressure to make forward commit
ments as protection against possible
shortages of merchandise. Weekly

TODAY'S GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, February 6 R.-New
upturns In wheat quotations at Liver
pool led to early fresh gains today in
the wheat market here. Smallness
of supplies afloat for Europe and
dwindling of farm marketings in Can
ada tended further to strengthen
values. Trade in Chicago, however,
was light, and the early advance was
not well maintained. Opening figures,
4 to "a up; May (new), 1.76 to 1.7612.
and July, 1854, were followed by
slight additional rise and then by
something of a sag.
Corn and oats were responsive 10

- higher: May, S31s to S3A. the corn
market held near to the initial range.
Oats started unchanged to Il up:
May, 43as to 43la, and then continued
firm.
Higher quotations on hogs helped 10
steady the provision market.
