LETTER FROM MACK

It would seem as though the dough. But no matter where their footsteps lead. their mind always reverts to Nome, sweet Nome. And rarely communication is ever received that does not ask for copy or two of the Nugget. It is like meeting with an old friend. The following letter from our old townsmen Eddie Mack, and for merly of Marshall, where he amass- ed a comfortable fortune. will be Of interest to our readers. We wonder if the war drama of which he was almost an actor, could compare with Jungle Town in its palmy days.

PROGRESS NOTED
IN SOME LINES
Bank Holds Bond Advance as
VitaI-Pay Rolls Also
Are improving.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CLEVELAND, January ga new
note OF confidence has been injected
into the business picture by the assur-
ance of a speedy establishment of the
Reconstruction Finance CORPORATION,
say the Union Trust Co. The bank
believes that hopes for practical bene-
fits from the workings of the corpora =
ton are justified
One of the significant features of the
situation, pointed out by the bank in
the current issue of its magazine,
Trade Winds, has been improvement in
bond prices. At present levels the
bond market on the average has gained
over half of the losses registered during
late November and December
Pay rolls in Cleveland and Detroit, -
says the bank, were higher in Deem
Der than in November and in New
York State factory employment in De-
cember showed only a ! per cent de-
crease from that OF November, which
is considerably less than normally oc-
ours at that time of the year.
Since the first of the year there
has been some improvement in senti-
ment in the iron and steel trade, ac-
companied by moderate expansions of
steel mill operations.
Automobile production in the United
States and Canada in December was
Sman by comparison with the year pre-
viouS, but showed an increase of II
per cent over that of November. At
tendance at the January automobile
shows is running considerably heavier
than last year, rejecting, it is hoped,
the probability of an increased demand.
The bringing out of new models
and the necessity of stocking dealers
are further grounds for the expecta-
ton that the January automobile pro-
duction will show a still further in
crease. Business on the whole continues
to mark time waiting further develop
ments in the foreign situation. The
German picture has been clarified to
some extent at last by her announce
ment that she will be unable to make
reparation payments as scheduled. This
may serve as a working basis for some
sort of a definite agreement.
ut would be unwise to expect any
immediate widespread improvement in
the business picture. 1t Is only nee
essarv to cite such elements as the
railroad situation and unemployment
totals to bring home the realization
that business in general will have an
uphill battle in 1882. But Tor thls very
reason it is important to note that
even in the face Of the many. present
unfavorable circumstances, improve
ment is being shown in some drectlohS
and in some industries.

WHEAT PRICES SLUMP
TO WEEKS LOW MARK
Stop-Loss Orders, Caught on the
Way Down, Send Values
Tumbling.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, January 23.-Wheat prices
tumbled today to the lowest levels
reached in week.
Bearish action of the wheat market
was in striking contrast with the sharp
advance which took place on the latest
previous Saturday. About the only
support today for wheat values came
from purchases made to collect profits
on sales made higher up. Practically
no new demand developed for wheat
from North America
Wheat closed unsettled IL -134 under
yesterdays finish, corn also IA -134
down, oats 3s-l2 off and provisions
unchanged to 10 cents decline.
Much of the wheat selling was of a
stop-loSs character, with the market
falling about IL cents before stand
ing orders to buy came into play and
brought about relative steadiness.
Meanwhile, trade comment was circu-
lated that regardless of expected bene-
fltS from the reconstruction finance
plan it was imperative that demand
from abroad should widen if price levels
were to be maintained. Official ex-
port figures were cited that only 2O3.-
100000 bushels of wheat had left North
America in the last six months. So
100000 less than was the case a
year ago.
Snowfalls in parts of domestic Win
ter wheat territory contributed to
beariSh tendencies A notable dearth
of recent aggressive buying was also a
source of weakness. Denials in some
quarters that mills in this country were
burdened with wheat supplies failed to
act as much of a counterbalance. Corn
and oats sympathized with wheat mar
ket downturnS.
Provisions reflected firmness of hog

CURB ISSUES DROP
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Utilities Group Is Especially
Affected by Week End
Selling Pressure.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, January ga trickle
OF week end selling gave the Curb an
easy appearance today. Losses were
confined to nominal fractions in the
case of leaders, however, and the mar
ket was dull during the two-hour
session.
Downward tendencies again appeared
in the utility group although Electric
Bond 81 Share closed firm after a
minor reaction. Middle West and
American Superpower Sagged.
Light offerings depressed some of the
oils, Standard of Idiana losing more
than half a point before steadying
somewhat. Humble also sold lower.
Specialties were mixed. Deere gave up
a point, but Aluminium of America
finished fractionally higher. Pilot
Radio "a" Swift and Pioneer Gold
were steady to firm.
Motors contributed little to the days
trading, nor was there much interest
in the investment trusts. United

An attack on the Interstate Commerce
Commission as a destructive meddler
in railroad affairs" is contained in a
leading article of the current issue of
the Review of Reviews, by Edward M
BarrowS, writing on THE Crisis of the
Railroad"
Following a historical analysis of the
development of the railroads and of
railroad regulation in the United States,
the writer concludes that the commits
sion as now operating must undergo
drastic revision unless the situation Of
American railroads is to become
desperate
