CURB STOCKS Weak
AFTER EARLY GAINS.
Saturday Market Lead by
Coal ShareS-Record
Weeks Trading.
" the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. February 13.-Early
strength that developed as q result OF
a large accumulation Of buying orders
over the holiday and the favorable
impression created by developments
in the coal situation and at Wash
ington was of short duration on the
Curb Market today.
At the opening Glen Alden rose s
points above the preceding closing
price and Lehigh Valley Coal certifi-
Gates rose almost 4 points at ASK
In the opening transactions which
amounted to 10000 shares. General
Baking A opened up az but followed
the reactionary tendency that took
place in the other active issues. In
the later selling movement American
Seating dropped from $50 to 800.
Public utility shares were somewhat
neglected and the oil shares were also
reactionary. although price move
ments in the general list were with.
out market Significance.
The week trading included great
err number of stocks and heavier deal
ings in bonds than had previously
been recorded in the history of the
curb exchange. Movements in many
issues swung over a wide range dur
ing the week. Pillsbury Flour Mills
rose - polhls 10 90 T,ocloi Iah'
BILE ranged from 1866 to above 100, Glen
Alden Coal from ISL to 160 and
Phelps. Dodge & Co. from 121 to 1870.
There was heavy selling of the bak-
ing stocks following the announce
ment of the Government suit against
the Ward Baking merger, which in
cluded the Continental Baking and
General Baking companies. After the
first few days. however, these stocks
showed a firmer tone, rallying 2 to 5
points from their lowest levels.
A feature Of the industrial group
was the decline in Deforest Radio
from 91s to the new low record Of 8.
The strength in the copper metal mar
ket was effective in creating an in
creased demand for many of the cop
per stocks.
Oil issues We're irregular.

LOAN REPORTS CAUSE
STIFFER MONEY RATES

NEW YORK. February IS P.-
The publication of the New York
Stock Exchange and Federal Reserve
figures on brokers loans. showing
the use of $4,000. 900 900 credit in the
securities markets. was one OF the
outstanding developments of the
week. but because of the fact that 1t
afforded little basis for comparison.
its effect on the stock market was
generally regarded as negligible. 1t
undoubtedly was responsible. how
ever. for the withdrawal OF some In
terror funds from this center. re-
sulting in SITTER call money rates
and for more careful scrutiny OF
stock collateral, particularly that en-
ployed by professional pools.

CLOTH MARKET ACTIVE.
End of Strike and Other Factors
Help Inquiries.

NEW YORK, February 10 P).-
Cotton goods market were steady to-
day with an underlying firmness
traceable to better inquiries following
the settlement Of the coal strike and
other features affecting general trade.
Prints for wash fabrics departments
were active and domestic bedding
material sold readily. 1t WIS
announced that fancy. worsted lines
in mems wear would be opened by the
American Wooden Co. February %.
Scarcity is developing in fine dress
worsteds owing to the extension of a
strike among Passaic mill workers.
Silks were in steady demand, but in
view of the large production staple
goods were said to be closely priced.

SOVIET TRADE GAINS.
Advance Claimed in First Quarter
of Fiscal Year.

NEW YORK, February 10 OP).-The
foreign trade turnover Of the Soviet
Union for the first quarter of the fiscal
Year, October l TO January l, was
st94, $751; 900, compared with $113.403.-
900 In the previous corresponding
period, the Russian information bu-
reau reports. Exports were $780,
900 and imports S105. 900, giving
an unfavorable trade balance Of $751;
$4,000. The unfavorable balance was
due to heavy imports of industrial and
II gricultural machinery, n marked de-
cline In grain exports in December and
smaller seasonal decreases in exports
Of timber, furs and oil products.

STEEL DEMAND SPOTTY.
Buyers Evidently Hope for Reduc
ton in Values.

NEW YORK. February 10 P).-
The buying OF steel improved a trif1e
during the past week. but. at best.
the demand was spotted and buyers
were cautious and evidently hoping
for a reduction of values as the mar
ket displayed an easier tone in some
directions. The statement of orders
on the books of the Steel Corporation
confirmed n disappointing January
business, but comparisons with peak
operations were considered mislead-
ing. Pig iron was quiet but firm, ow
ing to high fuel prices and with the
coal strike settled revisions were ex'
pected.
Reports that a new copper export
association was being organized had
a stimulating effect on the market.

PROTEST FILED IN
 SOVIET GEM SALE
Claim Made That Jewels Are Really "Stolen PrOptrty'

New York. Feb, i? F4-A pro, tsst against the sale of conAscated Russian jewels and works of srt. announced by the soviet govern. ment. has been issued by the Rus. stan Lawyers association in the United States whose headquarters are here
 The protest, tigned by Nicholas $. karinsky, president, denounecs the sale as a "new crime of the bol. ahovtks against Russia and her his. tory" and warns prospective buy. CTS that legal action will be taken by the "riEhttul owners as soon aa the treasures reach foreign mar. kets.
 The protest was inspired by dis. patches from Ltningrad telling of plans for another great sale Of Russian imperial possessions" and from London reporting the arrival In secret there of Czarist jewels for sale.
 The statement says the Czarist jewels and possessions for sale are in reality stolen property and that their rishtful owners now refugees, will claim them. It appealed spe- cihcally to the Bar association of ,he United States for help in restor- ing and asserting the property rights to those whose valuables have been confscated.
 These historical relics, the Russian lawyers said, 'the most val table of which date from the reigns of Peter the Great Elizabeth and Catherine the Great, are the prop erty Of the Russian nation, and can not be objects of barter"
 The protest says the true purpose of the sale was not to buy tractors and agricultural implements for the Russian peasants but because tht "bolsheyiks need money 10 con tnue their destructive propa ganda abroad" A diamond fund the protest says Is sought by the soviet
 The lawyers confined their state ment principally 10 the jewels un- VSTSlOOu TO Lt III LDuipl 44p''' oHH believed to be on the way to this country. They are not thought to bA imperial gems. but jewels seized from monasteries. churches and courtiers. Though T1eir presence in London has not been confirmed by diamond merchants, London newspapers put the value of the consignment at from s5,006,0o0 to 5e5,0oo,t0o, Included is reported to he an emerald which once belonged 10 Ivan the Terrible, worth Sl,o5o,- 900.

out of the city, was there time
when he was not in touch with his
captains and through them each of
his lieutenants.
Smith Praised
In reviewing the work of the as
sociation under the presidency of
Mr. w. M. Smith, it is perhaps well
to go back to the beginning of 1925.
Accepting the Office when the asso-
citation was on the verge of disinte-
grafton, and when no one else, would
assume the responsibility; with an
executive committee that failed to
function for various reasons; the
work of the association for the year
was negligible and gave rise to much
criticism; but with the election of
1926 in which Mr.. Smith was again
prevailed upon to accept the office,
and with a new executive commit
tee, and under the untiring energy of
the president affairs took new and
an upward turn.
In response to an appeal from the
national office at New York, the eX-
ecutive committee caused to be pre-
pared and presented to the various
churches through members of the
executive committee, protests to the
passage of a bill by Senator Cara
way of Arkansas. prohibiting mixed
marriages in the District of Colum-
bia. These protests carried some
thing over 500 signatures, and a
copy was sent to both of our Mime
sofa senators and to the congress
men from this district.
New Activity.
The case of one of our group, con-
fined at the asylum at Rochester for
the criminal insane, was also referred
to the local branch from the national
office at New York. Deputy Sheriff
John Allison investiga the case
for the local branch, and his findings
were reported back to the national
office.
Under the direction of the chair
man of publicity and meetings, aside
from the monthly meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee, public meetings
were held once each month at the
various churches, where not only
those things directly concerning the
N. A. A. C. P. were discussed. but an
otherwise interesting program was
presented. These meetings not only
drew from a point of interest in
themselves. but awakened an inter-
