1t is recalled that while the en-
tire court was in mourning for the
late Queen Alexandra, the Prince of
Wales attended several functions in
full dress, but with black waistcoat.
Leading tailors, who have previ-

the black waistcoat with the full
dress was "taboo' have now been

Points named by DeTar as the
basis for financial success in farm

Cooperative marketing, he pointed

could not substitute for any of the
others.

KING GEORGE AND PRINCE
APPEAR IN MOURNING

LONDON. Feb. licking George
and the Prince of Wales broke all
fashion edicts at recent dinner
given here. Both of them appeared
at the dinner in full dress, wearing
black waistcoats.
The reason given for this change
in the usual attire is that the royal

ing for the Emporer of Japan. Al
though King George does not strict
ly enforce court mourning for the
entire court, he is very strict with

TREND IRREGULAR
IN BOND MARKET
High : Grade investments
Show More Life and
Go Higher.
By GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, March 5.--The bond
market closed the week with an ex-
tremely irregular price movement.
High-grade investment issues showed
more life and some of them made
noticeable gains. but speculative and
convertible descriptions were heavy,
with the trend downward.
In the first-named group several
ordinary inactive issues were taken
up. Bush Terminal As sold at the
high of the year, up more than q
half point from the previous sale. st.
Paul Union Depot 5s, series "A"
gained in the same proportion, and
such bonds as Pennsylvania rs, New
York Telephone 41as and Central Pc
cific 4i%s were in better demand than
at any time previously this week.
The convertible group sagged off In
sympathy with stocks. Liquid Car
bonic 6s dipped below 107, while Gran.
by Mining Is at 106 were off points.
Barnsdall 6s with warrants started in
higher, but later they too came down.

WHEAT GOES DOWN;
CORN AND OATS EASY
Favorable Crop Conditions in
Southwest and Lower Liver
pool Prices Are Factors.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Wheat
tended downward early today in
fluenced by reports Of favorable
crop conditions in the Southwest and
by Liverpool quotations lower than
due. Besides, receipts at Kansas
City continued of liberal volume.
Starting unchanged to 20 down,
wheat held near the initial range.
Corn, oats and provisions also were
easy, corn opening at Il to 70 de-
cline and later sagging a little more.
Advices from a Chicago crop expert,
who is touring Texas to observe field
conditions for Winter wheat, said that
from Sherman to Wichita Falls the
soil is thoroughly soaked. that wheat
shows a good stand and color and Is
well stooled. The extreme moisture
is not injuring wheat, he said. but
the crop needs warmer weather to
promote growth.
Heavy arrivals of wheat at Liver
pool and likelihood of good sized de-
liveries there were reported as re.
sponsible for unexpected weakness of
the market there. Relative strength of
prices for wheat in North America
were represented as being ignored.
British millers, however, were said to
be purchasing large quantities of Ar
gentine wheat. both afioat and for
immediate shipment to Europe.

The move Is of much interest to
Washington, as the Crandall theaters

terests and considerable stock is

Freight Traffic Fairly Good.
In face of predictions that business
throughout the South would be seri-
ously affected by the lower price OF
cotton, Southern Railways freight
revenue in January amounted to S.
2S7 900, as against $8,32S,000 in the
initial month of 1926. A decrease OF
$4,000 in passenger revenue from
the unusually high figures Of January,
1926, reflected the smaller travel III
Florida compared with the abnormal
passenger traffic a year ago. Smaller
volume of freight traffic into Florida
also accounted for the smaller earn
ings of Southern's subsidiaries.
Other Florida roads, such as Atlantic
Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line, also
report I'd lower earnings in January.

The market for both Wright on the

come increasingly active and has di-
rected attention to the possibilities
confronting the commercial aviation
industry. For the past two years
earnings of these companies have i'm
proved substantially. Even the most
~anguine do not venture TO predict the
development of commercial aviation
along the lines of the motor industry
However. it is not unreasonable to
forecast important developments dur

The former stock was actively taken

Crucible Steel.
The selling which came into the
market for Crucible Steel today could
not oe ascribed to any change in
sentiment over what is to be expected
Of the market for the stock in the
immediate future The price had
been bid up sharply during the past
week, and il was natural to assume
that today's offerings represented for
the most part week end evening up of
accounts for the purpose of taking
down profits. In 1926 Crucible earned
1872 a share on the outstanding
stock. The recent demand apparently
had been based on expectations that
stockholders soon are TO benefit as a
result Of the acquisition by the COM
pany OF Is per cent of its common
stock in the open market which it
