gift from the groom was a necklace
of rock crystals. Esther, younger
sister of the bride, was flower girl.
After honeymoon trip through
northern Minnesota, the happy young
couple will take up farming in Bre-

so many, it being rather a family af-
fair, and the wedding dinner was en-
joyed at the brides home. In the
evening big wedding dance was put
on at the parish hall to which friends
from far and near were invited and
where all had a good time celebrating
the happy event.

been a teacher in various schools of
Pine county for six years, the past
two years of which were spent at
Friesland. She was born at Mont
gomery in LIE Sueur county and came
from there to Pine county with her
parents seventeen years ago at the
age of seven, and has grown to wom-
anhood here.
The groom is also raised in Pine
county, being son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Danelski, we'll known farmers
of Birch Creek township.
The young couple are taking up
farming in Bremen township where
they have good buildings on an eighty
and much adjoining land, this being
but two miles from the home of her
parents. The farm is we'll stocked
and all ready to go ahead and operate
1t is located four miles straight
south of Denham.
Among those who came to Willow
River for the wedding were four sis
tiers of the bride-Miss Rose Stepan,
who has been teaching in Hennepin
county the last three years; Bessie, in
training as a nurse at Ancker hos
pital, Minneapolis; Mary. beauty par
Tor operator in Minneapolis; and Eve
Ign, who has been attending the teach
ers' training school at Duluth.
organizations and best wishes
are extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Danelski
for happy voyage over life's seas.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, February II P.-Sharp
breaks in wheat values here took place
early today preceded by decided set
backs at Liverpool and by 100000
grain failure at Winnipeg. Notice was
also being taken of assertions current
in some quarters that European import
ers had definitely beaten North Ameri-
can wheat growers in the price war
which has been waged for the last six
months Opening l to ia lower, Chi
cago wheat afterward showed little
power to rally. Corn. oats and provis-
ions were also weaker, with corn start
ing u to ~ off. and subsequently
keeping near to the initial range.
Reports of entire absence of any de-
mand for wheat at Liverpool today went
hand in hand with word Of an increase
of the amount of wheat afloat for Eu-
rope and of continued large stocks In
Great Britain. Moreover, Argentine Of
ferings of wheat to Europe at prices
below North American wheat were re-
ported as charging Meanwhile, 1t was
pointed out also that only 10 more weeks
remain before opening OF Great Lakes
navigation will release further quanti-
ties of wheat destined to Europe.
Outbursts of general selling of wheat
future deliveries in the Chicago market
today at times swept into execution
numerous stop loss orders. Downturns
of values we're further accelerated by
announcement that the agricultural
commission of the French Senate had
asked the government of France to au-
thorize immediate export or not less
than 10000 900 bushels of wheat and to
pay bounty on the wheat thus ex-
ported. No indications Of any North
American export business of much con-
sequence we're apparent over the week
end.

FINANCING TOTAL
EXCEEDS BILLION
Return to Normal Conditions
in Security Markets Re-
Elected by FIotations.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, February 17.-New A.
nancing in the American capital market
since the first of the year is now con-
siderably in excess of 81 900 900, 900, re-
fecting a speedy return to normal con-
ditions after the stock market break
of last October and November. The
scale on which new securities are being
offered compares favorably with the
heavy fiotations of the similar period
Of 1927, 1923 and 1929, demonstrating
impressively the ability of American
finance to recover quickly from major
crises. European markets are much less
resilient. An international banker. COM
menting on this point, remarked last
week that European finance would re-
quire as many years as 1t has taken
American finance months to surmount
the effects of the stock market crash
of last Autumn.
Complete tabulation of January
financing in this market shows total
emissions Of bonds and stocks of $824,-
l83, 488, as compared with $1,066, 1877
1903 in January. 1929; SITS, $3.50 in
January 1928, and $941, 36l, IT'S in jan
uary 1927. The tabulation, prepared
by the Commercial and Financial Chron-
icle of New York, indicates an excep-
tionally rapid advance since the recov-
cry began. Flotations last September
established a record for any month at
Sl,6l6, 464 1867. but this was followed by
a drop to $878, 90l 1886 in October. When
conditions we're at their worst during
November, new emissions aggregated
only $2eS,029 283, but financing was
already far advanced toward normal
in December when fotations amounted
to $3.50, 0l2, 1892.
Although stock issues mounted stead
lily until the stock market break, while
bond fiotations dwindled, this trend has
now been reversed and normal ratio
of bond and stock issues has again
been attained. Bond issues in January
OF this year accounted for no less than
S575, 1865, 500 of the emissions, while
common and preferred stocks made up
the balance of Sl26,8l3,054. In jan
uary last year, when the superior appeal
OF stocks was Just beginning, bond flo
tations totaled 1897, 438 .000 being far
overshadowed by the common and pre-
ferred stock emissions of 1888 1886, 1873
Hardly less significant is the change
now witnessed in the financing done
on behalf of investment trusts and
holding companies. Emissions of this
character made up the bulk of the inn
mense fiotations of last Summer, and
most observers contend they were. the
chief cause of the stock market break
In January last year financing of this
kind began To loom large and emissions
aggregated $277,0l3.500. Last month,
however. such fiotations totaled only
500 $50 900. and almost all of this
amount was made up by single issue

COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. February II (F.-Cot-
ton opened steady at decline of II to
16 points today in response to easier
Liverpool cables and sold about Is to
10 points net lower by the end of the
first half hour under liquidation, while
there appeared to be some Wall Street
and local selling. This was probably
promoted by the lower opening of the
wheat market and buying was COM
paratively limited after the covering
of last week, although there was a
moderate demand from the trade on
the decline to 1890 for May and 1927
for october. Liverpool cables said
there had been local, continental and
Bombay liquidation in that market
with poor off-take, and reported a fair
cloth inquiry for Egypt and the Near
East. One of the larger Worth street
houses said their sales of cotton goods
last week were moderately larger than
preceding weeks and the best reported
for a month, but better reports from
the goods trade evidently failed to
stimulate much buying at the start.
