The official Government crop re-

coarse grain pits. The undertone in
the wheat pit was weak, with Liver

Carriers Firm

Rail stocks were firm all day and
while a few issues such as Atchison,
were called to account by satisfied
longs, the carriers as a group were
i'm excellent shape and the averages
for this division closed higher for
the day. The average price Of fifty
miscellaneous stocks closed the day
with a slight increase, due entirely
to the consistent strength in the

Vast Turnover
There is little new financing on a
major scale on the immediate
horizon, but the early months Of the
coming year will witness a vast turn
over Of capital. Much Of this will
go abroad again. as in 1925. The only
foreign business on the books for
this week so far is 100000 for a
department in Colombia and $4,500,-
900 for Bulgaria. to be offered by
Speyer on Wednesday. Demand for
the Bulgarians has already been so
heavy that the bankers could prob
ably sell several times the amount
available. The same story has been
noted on all recent foreign financing
and serves as a very useful index
to the actual state of affairs in the
bond market. The comparatively
high yields obtainable appeal
nightly to interior investors who
are dismayed by the vanishing yields
on American securities Of the high

In Germany and France. where hops
have been cultivated since the Eighth
century, and in other lands where they
have been taken for cultivation. there
is a widespread belief that insomnia
may be overcome II one will use a
pillow Of hops as head rest at night.
The essential principle in the lupulin,
the yellowish powder on them, is used
In household remedies as a sedative
and mild hypnotic, and that fact is
held up as proof that hops will help
one find restful sleep. Those who
have that belief say fresh hops lull
one to sleep more quickly than the old
hops, but SO long as the hops are in
good condition they are sleep produc-
ers, the old ones no less certainly than
