CHICAGO STOCK LIST
GENERALLY HIGHER
Prices of Leading Shares Rise, but
Dealings Are Dull and
Sales Small.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, july 9.-Prices of lead
ing Chicago stocks ruled generally
higher in a rather dull trade today,
with interest still centering chiefly in
the Majestic issues, GrigSby- Gruncw
and Majestic Household, though sales
in these also were markedly smaller.
Both issues ranged fractionally higher,
following a denial by w. c. Grunow
president of both companies, that either
was in financial straits, a rumor that
was broadcast coincident with the SELL
ing in the stock early yesterday.
"Grigsby-Grunow Co. has never been
in as good financial position as it is at
the present time" Mr.. Grunow stated.
Current ratio of assets to liabilities is
212 to /. There is no funded debt.
Total liabilities are $500, 900 and total
assets are $24,000,00O."
1t was also stated that production
OF sets is currently around $500 daily
and that installation of machinery for
production Of the Majestic refrigerator
Will be completed between July is and
August l.
In the utility list Middle West. Cities
Service and Missouri-Kansas were little
changed.

Mrs. Margaret M. Payne, of
Twelfth and L Streets Southwest,
sister of Mr.. OLeary, accused
Albert D. Bell, who says he was
ordained a minister at the age of
19 by Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
Of having represented himself to
her as a Baptist minister prior
to the funeral services.
Mrs. Mary E. Hoy. mother of

saying that she selected an
atheist because she wanted such

Link Is Sought
Designed as an attempt to form
the link between the lifelesS and

reveal that the cells are the same
as those in a dead cancer, which
would be an important discovery
in the fight against the disease.

IN LAST
EXTREMITY

PARIS, Dec. 90 I.N.so.-The
last thin strand holding Marshal
Joseph Joffre to this earth was
breaking slowly today.
In an official bulletin issued
this afternoon, Professors Leriche
and Liable and DR.. Faure indi-
Gated that his death was only a
matter Of hours, perhaps even
minutes. The bulletin read:
In Last Extremity
"The Marshal's weakness Is ex-
treme. He is now in his last ex.
trenity."
The pain Of the aged marshaTs
suffering in his last hours was
lesSened by a merciful coma.
Hope for his recovery has now
been abandoned.
The millions OF. his admirers
throughout France and the world
who were shocked to learn that
the earthly span Of the great war
hero was nearly ended found
some little Solace in the fact that
Inconsistencies was dulling his
death agony.
Lies As in Sleep
General Isaie, chief of staff Of
the French army, with tears In his
eyes as he left hte clinic of ST.
Jean de Dieu this afternoon said:
"The marshaI's life Is ebbing
fast. He is lying as though he
were peacefully sleeping"
