 New York, Feb. 25 - (UP) - The Stock Market resumed its lethargic course today after brief bit of activity last week following the gold clause decisions. Prices declined early in the sessions but rallied from the lows later on short covering. The close was ir- regular.
 Bonds declined, but unlike stocks they fail to rally. Railroad issues were weakest, some losses running to 5 points. U. s. government is- sues joined the decline after some of them had made new highs. Grains were little changed at the close, and cotton also held around the previous close.
 Before the meager rally of the last hour on the Stock Exchange. dozens of issues had been depress- ed to new lows for the year or longer. Railroad shares resumed their decline. Atchison, for exam ple, sold at 40 off h for the day and off exactly 101a points from the high touched last Monday shortly after the gold clause de- cisions were announced.
 United States Steel issues made new 1885 lows as did National Steel and Bethlehem. Their losses at the lows ranged to a point. Part Of them were recovered.
 Among other issues to make new lows for the year or longer were American Locomotive h ares: American Car & Foundry, Aviation Corporation, Douglas Aircraft, Gen. eral Motors, International Tele- phone, Johns Manville, Kennecott, Macy, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck, National Biscuit common New York Central, United Air craft and Western Union.

while he eloquently outlined the
history of the Negro during the
past Civil War period and contrast

commenting upon the old philoso-

speaker declared that this Is not
the case. as opportunities for pro-
spering are not as great now as
formerly He stated that after
emancipation. critics of the Ne

would not work, when statistics
show that after the Civil War the

harder and produced more cotton
than before.
