GAINS
FAIL To STIR
RAILS
Cloud Thrown on Market BY
Contrasting Movements Of
Prices, Asserts Spectator
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March Ito
all outward intents and purposes,
the brisk advance recorded in yes.
terday's session might be deemed
a very satisfactory development
from the constructive point Of
view.
However, the contrasting move
ments Of the utilities and rails
tend to cast a cloud over the
bare statement telling of a gain
of 20 points in the Standard
Statistics Index of 80 composite
stocks.
Rail Average Same
While the utility group swept
ahead more than points to new
high grounds for the year, the
rail averages were absolutely un-
changed on the day, with their
current standing at 96.9 Just a
trifle more than a point above
their extreme low level of the
year.
In this connection, it is in
teresting to note that, in the past,
a sharp bulge in the utilities has
frequently characterized the cul
minating phase of an important
market swing.
Last years peak in the utility
averages was not attained until
two weeks after the index of 80
stocks had reached it's highest
level.
Moreover, on a number of occa-
sions during the past IL months,
failure of the rail shares to par
ticipate in strength evident else
where in the list has constituted
the first indication of an impend-
ing general setback.
T. Advance of Silver
So much for the historical data
On the bullish side of the picture
is the consistent advance of silver
into new high ground on the re-
covery, an influence making for
greater confidence in the commod-
ity price situation. The latter is
already showing signs of recovery,
as for the second consecutive week
there has been an excess of ad-
vances. This is the first time such
development has been noted
since the depression began in
1929.
A survey of the price earnings
ratio of leading stocks at the
bottom of the 1921 depression
period and at the 193O-3l low
levels, indicates that earning
power is capitalized to a greater
extent at the present time than
a decade ago.

COPPERMERGER.
FIGHT KEEN

Opponents of Gordon R. Camp.
bell, president of Calumet & Ari,
zona, who is fighting the move
underway to merge the company
with Phelps Dodge Corp, today
attacked his stand in a letter
soliciting proxies for the annual
meeting, to be held in Warren,
Ariz., on April 20.
The battle at present is raging
over whether the offices of the
company should be moved to
New York from Calumet, Mich.
Mr.. Campbell in his appeal for
support of stockholders charged
that this was the first step to
transfer control of the company
to New York interests and thus
pave the way for the Phelps
Dodge deal.
He also insisted that expenses
brought about by transfer of the
offices here would have reduced
the dividends paid by the COM
pany by 100000 or $4,000, 900.
His opponents, however, led by
Charles E. Briggs, insist that the
transfer was logical.

Plant Slaughters 10000
Horses Yearly for Meat

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, March ia
chance remark dropped by a
French army officer on a buying
trip in the United States during
the world war has led to the
establishment here of what rates
as the worlds largest horse meat
packing plant.
P. M. Chapel, oldest of three
Chapel brothers, who head this
enterprise, has been engaged in
the livestock and meat business
since at the age of 13 he went
to work as delivery boy for a
Rochester (N.YO butcher shop.
For more than 20 years he bought
cattle, sheep and hogs for a large
meat packer, and during the war
delivered shipments Of horses
totalling 117,000 head.
French Officer Started 1t
One day a French officer ar
rived to inspect and accept war
horses for his government. In
rejecting some Of the horses as
too small for war purposes, the
officers remarked:
what a pity these small
animals cannot be used for
human food in our country
where our people need it so
badly"
This thought kept recurring in
Mr.. Chappel'S mind for several
years before he determined to
visit Europe to satisfy himself

Some SpeciaIties Take Part
In Forward Movement, But
Rails Stay Put or Decline
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March II GIN.
S0.-The public utility stocks
moved ahead to the years high
est price levels in a dull and firm
market this morning. In the
second hour they we're joined in
their forward move by the food
Stuffs, the coppers, steels, and a
few of the specialities.
The further decline of the rails
spoiled the picture from the bull
standpoint. but once again sell
ing dried up as prices settled
lower. U. S. Steel move up 112
to 147A and Bethlehem Steel
sold fractionally higher.
'Big Three" Stocks Boom
! Consolidated Gas, United Cor.
poration and United Gas Improve
ment, the "big three" Of the
Eastern utility combination,
reached a new high for the year
in the early trading. Consolidated
Gas topped 108 and United
Corporation sold above 81 for
the first time in nearly a year.
Gold Dust, Standard Brands
and National Biscuit led the ad-
vance in the food stocks, Gold
Dust moving through 40 for the
first time this year. Purity Bak-
ing also hung up a new high at
SIS, up about $l8 points from the
January low. Firming up of the
red metal market was reflected
in a slightly higher price for the
coppers.
Rails Sink Again
Chesapeake and Ohio settled
down to a new low on the move
at 403s and small losses were
recorded for New Haven, New
York Central, Pennsylvania and
other we'll known rails. Westing-
house Electric was under pressure
and moved off 2 points to 89B
and General Electric lost a point.
The commodity markets were
steady with narrow price changes.
Cotton sold a few points higher.
Cali money was unchanged at 112
per cent.

The hats in the millinery ads were
large and trimmed with great profus-
sion. They were perched upon the
head in a precarious position, so pre-
carious in fact, that long hat pins
were required to keep them on.
High collars adorned the waists Of
dresses. To make them still more un-

buckram.

S. j. Race, now conducting Teach

County Superintendent of Schools in
Redwood County for over 20 years.
It is stated that in the fall of 1895
Mr.. Race reported attendance at rural
schools very poor. He gave as the
cause the low price of farm products,
as farmers could not afford to hire
help and kept their older children out
of school to work at home. Another
item refers to an entertainment Civ

church at which Mr.. Race gave a
lecture on the subject, "More Lamps"
Special music was feature of the
entertainment, the receipts being used
to purchase very fine lamp for the

Of 1895 as illustrated in the advertis-

Falls at that time apparently wore
very warm clothing and of very
voluminous nature. In fact dress
Of 1881 could easily be made from the
amount of material used in the
sleeves alone Of an 1896 dress. A
number Of illustrations showed that
the so-called wasp waists were very
much in vogue, some Of them almost
making one gasp for breath at the
sight of them. Bustles were evident

much work on the part Of the local
news committee of Mrs. I. M.
Stensvad, Mrs. C. L. Lynn, Mrs. Joe
Green, Mrs. C. E. Cobleigh and Mrs.
Caroline Thomson to learn and report
all the happenings in our busy city.
The Club had a two-fold purpose in
co-editing the Gazette. 1t was an op-
portunity to put before the public the
work Of Club Women Of whom Red
wood Falls has hundred, and will
entertain three hundred more on June
third. The Woman's Club as a part
Of this great force, stands with the
thousands of other club women of
the world for the principles printed
on these pages. The second reason
for the editorial adventure, was a de-
pleted treasury which uncomfortable
condition would be remedied by the
revenue from the advertising. This
made the advertising committee a
most important one. Mrs. j. w. In
glis was the chairman, assisted by
Mesdames Brown, Gallea, Hubbard,
Austbo, Asleson, Pryor and Treu. The
zeal of this committee knew no
bounds and as always, Redwood Falls
met them half way. The gratifying
loyal support of its citizens will not
be forgotten soon by these women
editors.
On these pages will be found ad-
vertising by large proportion of the
business interests of our town. This
advertising will be spread over the
surrounding country and throughout
the state by the extra copies sent out,
and will bring results not only to the
advertisers themselves, but the Wo-
mans Club as well who feel we'll sat-
isfied with the results of their hard
work.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-After a se-
ries of rapid fluctuations the stock
market turned definitely higher as
the morning drew to a close.
Industrial shares, led by United
States Steel, rose to new highs on
the recovery from Oct. lows. Rails
steadied and f1rmed up from their
lows. Utilities made substantial
gains. Oils resumed their advance
ana silver shares continued to dis
play outstanding strength.
Trading was very ctive and tick
ers were unable to keep pace with
the market at several intervals
The uncertain movements .wers
accounted for by various develoD-
ments. A wild rumor regarding the
Manchurian situation sent the LIST
Gown before the end of the FIRST
half hour. Prices recovered only to
break again when wheat opened
more than cent a bushel lower.
Grains Aid Test
Later wheat rallied and helped
the stock market recover. Ther
cotton turned up when the govern
ment's Nov. crop estimate of
16,903,000 bales was reported. The
figure was $4,000 bales above tho
October estimate, but below expec-
tationS.
Inc silver market continued to
operate at rate equivalent to more
than 100000 ounces for a full dav
and prices held steady to firm.
ouoyed up by sensational rise in
bar silver at London.
0 nthe Stock Exchange. Interna-
tlonal Silver spurted to 4Oss, I'D 3sk.
and other silver company shares
made substantial gains. J. I. Case
and the mail order shares rallied
on the improvement in wheat from
the early lows.
Utilities Are Featured
Steel common ranged between
713s and IA, the latter up Is from
the previous close. It was around
the hight at noon. Westinghouse
Electric was at SIS, up rs; Cen
eral Electric, 3475. up q, and
American Can, 86A, up a. These
stocks sold down to losses ranging
to 2 points earlier.
Greater interest was displayed for
automobile equipment shares with
the advent of increased production
on new models in several plants.
Timken led this group with rise of
25s to 81.
Utilities were features on the re-
covery. Consolidated Gas rose to
1914, up 2 points; North American.
46A, up 2; American Telephone,
14515, up rs, and Public Service,
SO, up IL.
In the oil group, fractional gains
