I'M n this day OF rapidly shifting econ
Onafc conditions we often wonder
what set OF circumstances today
offer che greatest business opportunity
in the world. That such a cOndtfaOn
exists goes without saying. Every de-
preston has given birth to . new crop
Of nIiilionaires. In NORMAL times,
everyone can forsee natural results
from natural circumstances. The mEi-
usual is apparent to everyome In nor
NAL times. But what of times like
the present? just as ideas Of news
values were distorted in war times. so
are people confused by the present
economic circumstances. MOST people
do nothing. The sTUDENT--the man
Of foresight--can grasp u fortune

HALT IN DOLLAR
RA|D|NG SEEN

NEW YORK, Feb. 81 G.N.SO.
With the loss of gold SO far in
February the largest in the last
18 months, hopes were expressed
that the drain may be halted, as
the dollar again firmed against
the franc and the belga.
The franc opened today at
39412, an overnight drop of
900 LIS of cent, bringing the
rate to within a small fraction of
the point where gold shipments
would become Improbable.
At the same time the Federal
Reserve Bank reported the loss of
an additional $10,095, 800 in gold
through earmarking. The loss
through earmarking so far this
month is $1O3,774,3O0.
Fluctuations in exchanges were
narrow, the Ira and belga hold
ing unchanged, while guilders
and Swiss francs gained frac-
tionally. Scandinavians were easy
in sympathy with the pound.
Japanese yen dropped "a of a
cent to 2O1a and Canadian dol
lars were unchanged at 1913 cents.

FAILURES DROP
IS SEASONAL

Failures continue to follow the
seasonal downward trend. The
drop for the week ending Feb
ruary 16, Bradstreet's Weekly re-
ports, was from 500 to 484. This
is slightly less than the normal
decline for the week, as is wit
messed by rise in the Weekly
Failures Index from 110.8 to
1888 per cent of the 1928-30
average.
For the week ending January
II, when the first-of-the-year peak
of $50 defaults was reached, the
index stood at 1882, nearly iden-
tical with the latest figure. From
this it is evident that the drop
has been of full seasonal pro-
portions.
This has been Notwithstanding
the fact that the data includes
banking failures which have up
to the past two weeks tended to
increase. Commercial failures
alone, therefore, would make an
even more favorable showing.
Failures among large companies
continue at a high rate, but the
rapid upward movement of a few
weeks ago appears at least tenn
porarliy checked. In the latest
week there were SIS defaults of
concerns capitalized at over $780,
900, compared to So in the pre-
Vious week.
The adjusted index advanced
slightly from 1914 to 1877 per
cent of the 1928-3O average, but
it was still below two weeks ago
when i reached zoos. It is also
below last years figure of 220.8.

PRESSURE LESS
AND STOCKS
STEADY
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Feb. 81 T.NSD.
The stock market today showed
relief from the pressure of liquida-
ton which drove it to new 1888
lows yesterday.
There was further scattered
selling at the opening but this
passed quickly and a steadier ten
dency developed.
Some Short Covering
This brought the beginning Of
q short covering movement and
q few issues like Allied Chemical
and Union Pacific rose a point
and more over the previous close.
Individual issues continued
heavy. General Motors was sold
in volume, while Canadian Pacific
was driven to a new low for the
year. American Can was easy
early in the session, as a result
of yesterdays weakness, but
Stiffened later. Woolworth was re-
dictionary.
Persistent steadiness in COM
modities began to influence sentl-
ment. Cotton was firm while
wheat was up fractionally. Silver
met profit taking after yesterdays
squirt, Bonds were irregular
while the dollar was steady.
Trading was moderately active
at the opening but turned quiet
later.
Rally in Safeway
Some attention was paid to the
conference between President
elect Roosevelt and the British
Ambassador and Hoover's special
message urging Congress to act
on remedial legislation.
Safeway Stores rallied sharply
on short covering. U. S. Steel and
American Telephone tended high
er, while Utilities displayed a bet
ter tone. B. M. T. rallied on a
favorable earnings report.

BLACK SHEEP TWEED
is NEWEST FABRIC

The black sheep has come into his
own. He always was a sort of ro-
mantle and interesting old fellow, and
now he has given the coat off his back
TO make some of the seasons most
stunning sports clothes, to be worn
by lovely ladies.
Black sheep tweed is the newest
of the new fabrics, sponsored by Schi-
aparelli and shown in clothes made
by American designers. A rough, rich,
fiecked tweed with homespun look,
it uses the undyed wool of the black
sheep, which isn't black at all, but
deep brown or gray. And is it a
knockout? It is.
One of the incest sports outfits of
the season has a jacket of gray black
sheep tweed flecked with yellow. with
gray skirt and blouse of gray knit
ted silk jersey. Black-sheep tweed
also fashions a stunning full-length
coat with ciyet cat bow tie with long
ends.
Another new fabric known as New
Jersey, but having no connection with
the state, is used in gray sports suit
with alternate blouses, one of red silk
jersey and the other of the same ma
terial in black.
