office hours, all of which recalls the

TOMB HUNT BLOCKED
ExCavators Run Into Wall in
Egyptian Search.
By Science seruice

ON SC1CtJCe 6ffItC6
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17.-Ameri-
can psychologists digging their way
into 5,000-yesr- old tomb at Mey-
dunn, Egypt, have discovered that
the royal owner of the tomb was a
clever individual, determined to out
wit intruderS.
A report just received from Alan
Rowe, director of the Egyptian ex-
petition of the museum of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania states his
expedition has encountered an
elaborate hoax. Egyptian laborerS
who built the tomb cut an opening
in the wall and constructed a brick
stairway, such as might well lead
down into the burial chambers. At
the foot Of the stairs came a drop of
six feet and beyond this surprise was
a tunnel, with a blockade about
midway of it's length. At the end
of the tunnel is blank wall.
Clews indicate the tomb even
tually will prove to be that of a
royal person closely connected with
the Pharaoh Snefru, whose pyra-
mid is near by, the report explains.
The tomb is in the form of a mas
tabah, construction with Sloping
sides and fiat top. The only mas
tabah at Meydum. larger than that
now being excavated, belonged to
the oldest son Snefru.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-While an
encouraging tone is maintained in
the weekend trade reviews, the
uneven character of the recovery
movement Is stressed somewhat
more. 1t is significant, We believe,
that the steel industry continues its
improvement, which perhaps is the
outstanding industrial development,
with present rate of operations at
around 70 per cent of capacity, as
compared to about so per cent less
than two months ago. Similarly,
the gains in many other lines are
notable, although here and there
conditions persist which are not so
satisfactory as might be desired. But
We are inclined to stress more the
extent of the gains, the better
sentiment and the outspoken desire
of leading interests TO see condi-
tons improve than We are the irreg-
ularity of the recupeTation move
ment. We feel there is no reason for
undue apprehension if for a brief
period the market pauseS to
consolidate recent gains. From the
longer term outlook this is a con-
Structive development. strengthen
ing the markets technical position,
even though at the moment such
reactions may appear somewhat ois-
couraging.

WHEAT AT new
Low POINT FOR
PRESENT YEAR
Decline in Liverpool and
Argentine Trade Forces
Market OF.

BIZ rtted Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Decidedly
weak foreign cables sent wheat
tunbling to new lows for the season
as the board Of trade opened today.
Liverpool opened weak and fell to
to 11sc lower and Buenos
Aires fell after the opening to 2
cents lower. Absence of demand
with pressure from Canadian and
Argentine wheat forced Liverpool
down while a lower exchange rate
affected Buenos Aires. Corn and
oats were off sharply with wheat.
At the opening wheat was to
2 cents lower; Corn was \ to Ia
cents lower and oats was Il to Il
cent lower. Provisions were weak.
Sharply lower Liverpool markets
and the suspension of a large grain
elevator firm on the Winnipeg ex-
change AIDED TO the bearish SEN
timent in wheat today. Local traders
are not forcing the selling, expecting
that the farm board will support the
market. All foreign news is bearish
with demand falling of and buyers
waiting confidently.
Large corn receipts are expected
today which may cause some
pressure. Prices Saturday were
within a fraction of the seasons low
and traders are acting cautiously.
Hedging by cash interests in oats
during the past several days has
had a depressing effect. Otherwise
the market is running along with
out feature.
