The small Princess is attractive,

her manner, although she has no
conspicuous beauty. In Wash.

Her sister, Princess Bertha, was

In the Stock Market
lBy Thomson d McKinnon

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Friends of
the market can take just a little
comfort from what tranSpired Mon
day. True, the market declined,
losses we're quite numerous, but
there was not that indiscriminate
selling that many had anticipated
and which would not have been a
surprise if it had occurred because
after all most people recognize the
fact that there is nothing that is to
be considered as basis at this time
for such markets as we have had.
But 1t would be we'll to continue to
keep in mind the fact that this
market is engaged in an effort at
self correction; so that while this
process is on the best that we can
look for is now and then pretty
good rally when shorts over-extend
their commitments. 1t appeared to
us at times during Mondays session
as if we were getting close to such
a condition.

CORN Goes up;
PIT DEMAND AT
CHICAGO RISES
Major Grain Steady to
FraCtionaIIy Higher; Oats
Unchanged.
Ry United Press


CHICAGO, Feb. 21-A surprising
ly strong cash market, small receipts,
and good country demand sent corn
futures into another sharp bulge, on
the Chicago Board of Trade today.
Wheat and oats showed little change
during most of the day, and trad
ing was dull.
With snow and continued cold
weather reported from many Sec
tionS of the corn belt this morning.
Many experts predicted that the
crest of the country marketing wave
would arrive this week.
Corn receipts of only 1874 cars
caused the tone to strengthen. The
cash market showed advances of 4
to 1c, which aided the upturn, and
many farm interests bought feeding
corn. Export business was reported
light.
Wheat was steady to fracUionally
higher most of the day. There was
no change in the general trend of
news. but Russian adviceS, reporting
continued food shortage there,
helped the tone. There was con-
siderable profit taking on the bulges,
and prices worked. rather nervously.
Receipts were eighteen cars, and the
cash market held unchanged.
Oats was steady all day. with no
feature to the trade. Receipts were
nineteen cars. and the cash market
was unchanged.
Provisions worked lower in a dull
market.
