for the purpose of bringing succor
to a distressed member or his
family. The club, whose roster is
composed of North Park members in
good standing, was organized on a
solid foundation with a unique
method of financing which has
made it possible to meet all de-
mands Immediately and without diff

Curiously enough, the club was
first called on for assistance when
John Foster and Ernest Robinson,
two plaSterers. both North Park
members, fell to their death from a

Club to preHsent an annual enter
uniformly successful function both
socially and financially; but, like
many another, this practice was
discontinued during the years of
the depression.
The Craft Club of the lodge is
one of the most enthusiastic and
hard working in Indiana. For years
it has met regularly every Monday
night regardless of season and
weather, and to it may be attributed
much of the excellence OF the lodge
in its degree work. Present pres
ident of this organization is G. A.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 10. - Grain
prices underwent early downturns to-
day Relatively frigid temperatures
in wheat territory southwest were dis
regarded and traders continued to
show extreme cautiouSness owing to
uncertainties about Washington legis-
1ative developments. Opening at Il
lower to /. higher, May 86S-'4,
wheat afterward sagged all around.
Corn started ls-as down, and sub
sequently declined further.
Scattered selling carried the wheat
market down to 86ls for May con-
tracts, but then enough demand was
met with to produce comparative
steadineSs. Buyers at this stage took
some incentive from reports of pros
pective large abandonment of wheat
acreage Southwest, as much as so
per cent in various sections of Okla
homa and Texas. Dust storms were
reported as prevalent in these sec
tions, with need of copious rainfalls
acute
Notable absence of rallying power
in wheat values, however, character
lied trading the greater part of the
day. Winnipeg reported that only
a few loads of wheat had been sold
for export overnight. Word that the
! Canadian government was expected
to announce proposed legislation next
week to curtail marketings of the
1880 wheat crop failed to act as
market stimulus. Corn and oats
prices averaged lower with wheat.
Provisions reflected downturns of
hog values.

'ST0CK LIST HELD
| T0NARROW RANCE
Metals and Few SpeciaIties
Win Attention-CIose
Is Irregular.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, March 1o.-Although
some Of the metals and a few
specialties attained small degree of
popularity in today's stock market,
leading issues were extremely listless
and prices generally narrow. It was
one of the dullest sessions since early
in January. Transfers approximated
$1,000 shares. The close was mod
erately irregular.
Market observers attributed the
lack of enthusiasm for most equities
/ largely to the inability of Wall Street
to determine just what sort of a
Federal control measure will pass
Congress; to nervousness over labor
situations which, although static for
! the moment, are still being watched
closely; and TO the N R. A. cam
paign for shorter working hours and
higher wages.
All things considered, neither the
public nor so-called professionals
showed much inclination to jump in
on the buying side while the various
problems are pending at Washington.
There was tendency to ignore bright
business and industrial news.
Various metal stocks rallied follow
ing word that the House Coinage
Committee had reported favorably on
two silver bills, one providing for the
exchange of American agricultural
exports for silver and the other for
expanded purchases Of the metal.
Speaker Rainey Of the House was also
reported to have predicted the passage
OF the two measures.
Eeaviness Of the alcohol group fol-
lowed overnight Washington advices

10 force down domestic liquor costs.
Shares of United States Smelling

| VanceS of a point or more were re-
corded by Mcintyre, American Smelt-
ing, Cerro de PaSco, American Metals
and Howe Sound. Canadian stocks
| improved and gains of about a point
were held by Case, Western Union.
United States Rubber and Atlas Tack.
General Motors was up a trihe. but
Chrysler eased. The rails and utlli-
ties were hesitant. National D-stll-
lers, American Commercial Alcohol
and United States Industrial Alcohol
dropped point or more each. Ihe
tobaccos also sagged.
Industrial analysts received further
ouragement from the monthly
survey Of the Commerce Department,
which reported business activity in
January and the first half of February
continued to improve. Especially
significant, it was said, was the in
crease in private employment and the
rise in commodity prices TO the highest
level in three years.
At the same time it was pointed out
by trade commentators that the COM
parison of current business with that
of the same time last year may be
somewhat misleading because, in the
previous March. due to the banking
holiday and other factors, industry
generally was at an extremely low ebb.
Within a month or so current in
dices will be comparing with time
when business was on the rise. Trade
students say that comparisons then
are not likely to be so stimulating
psychologically and that more atten-
ton will have to be paid to trends
compared with averages for other
years than to the percentage OF m
provement over the comparable 1883
period.

OUTPUT EXPANDS,

North American Presents
TWo-Sided Picture in
Annual Report.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Eighllghts from the annual report
of the North American Co. of which
the Washington Railway g. Electric
Co. and the Potomac Electric Power
Co. are subsidiaries, reveal a better
year in the volume of electricity sold
and pay special attention to the
changes in the utility situation in
Washington during the year
The review for 1888 Of the buSi-
ness of the North American Co. and
its subsidiaries presents a tWo-Sided
picture, of somewhat greater activity
measured in terms of output of elec-
triclty, the principal class OF buSl-
ness, yet of somewhat lower earnings.
The amount of electricity used in the
territories served by subsidiaries vas
greater for the full year. the first
increase over the corresponding
month of 1882, however, not occurring
until May. This larger use Of elec-
tricity was the chief announcement
even though the increase in volume
of business during the last quarter
of 1888 over the last quarter of 1882
was not sustained at the high rate
of increase recorded during the Sum-
mer months. Nevertheless. the use
of electricity in greater volume than
during corresponding periods of The
previous year continued to the end
of 1888 and, in encouraging degree,
into 1884
Earnings for 1888 did not increase
Notwithstanding the Improvement II
electric output, the report says, being
affected by the slOwnesS of business
recovery and by the fact that such
increases as occurred were princi-
pally in demand for low-priced in
dustrial power. The residential de-
mand for electricity, in fact, decreased
during the first four months and the
increases experienced thereafter were
decidedly less than in the case OF
electricity for industrial uses,

later months rCSUlteb in slight in
creases for 1888 as whole over 1882,
both in number of customers and

versely affecting earnings were in
