Only Feature in Market To-day Was It's Outlines:
FRAGMENTS OF
 OLDEST GOSPEL
British Museum DiScOv. cred Them Among Job
 Lot of Stuff

Londcn. Jan 26-U.P. .)-Frag- ments which may prove to be por- tlons Of the oldest gospel known, have been found among job lot of Papyri which the British museum bought from q dealer last summer, 1t was learned to-day. There are only three scraps of tattered pap- yrus, stained dark brown with age, measuring few square inch es and covered with Greek Hero glyphics. But experts say that they are about 200 years older than the Codex Sinaiticus, for which the museum paid $500.000. That would make them the earliest pieces of Christian manuscript oxtant, dating from about 150 A. D.
 Idjis Bell, keeper of manuscripts of the museum, was sorting out the bundle of papyri when he saw the Greek characters III. an abbrevia- ton sometimes used for Jesus. He studied the sheets more closely and eventually expressed the opinion that they predated the four known gospels. Experts who have studied the partly translated scraps say that they contain some material closely paralleling the gospel of St John. They particularly resemble tho 9th and 9th chapters of St John. but more fully describe the attempts to stone Jesus and seize him and hand him over to the null titude. And they more fully recount the story of the healing of the lcrer.
 One sheet gives an account of certain people tempting Jesus with the question::
 Master, we know thou art core from God. for the things which thou doest testify above all the prophets. Tell us, therefore |. "The Papyrus Is torn there, but lower down Jesus answers:
 "Why call ye me with your mouth master, when ye hear not what I say?"

New York, Jan 20-CUP)--Thia weeks movements in the stock market were entirely without fea- ture and for all the progress the list made the exchange might ns we'll have been closed. On net the market got nowhere and dealinge were very light, tickers barely moving ali week.
 The two major groups-railroad and utility--lost slightly, while the utility average made small gain. Tho latter was not accounted for by anything in the news. Govern ment agitation against the various units to force lower rates was not subsided and there is still talk of municipal plants to be set up in competition with the privately owned units.
 Common stocks of steel com panies met some profit taking dur ing the week as the steel operat- ing figure mounted to around 50 per cent of capacity for the indus- try. The demand now is coming mostly from the automobile indus try and experts aver that unless there is a pickup for heavy steel. the peak of steel operations soon will be touched.
 Railroad shares did little better than hold their own. Car loadings made q small seasonal gain, but

 Chaliapin was working out in his hotel suite with Mihcellc. pucc- colored paJamans and i've lang 'uaEes in preparation for a con- cert. The workout over, he shrug- gcd his massive shoulders.
