CHICAGO, Feb. IA Q.N.S0.
Wheat prices were mixed in early
dealings today. May declined
fractionally. while deferred de-
liveries were moderately higher

New crop months were in de
mand because Of the severe cold
wave spreading over the entire
wheat belt.
Near mid-session wheat was Ac
down to 2sc up, corn 1sc down
to s1sc up, oats unchanged to Vac

Capital Is Among
Cities Nearest
Normal

washington was among the 46
cities Of the United States that
were closest to normal at the end
Of January, according to Brooke,
Smith g. French, Inc.
At the end Of the month,
washington stood only 7 per
cent below normal. This repre-
sented an increase Of per cent
over the preceding month. De-
cember, and gain Of % per cent
over January a year ago.
Sixty-three Of the lat trading
areas Of the United States showed
business gains in January. 10 re-
mained the same and IS lost
ground, but only slightly, accord
ing to the report. At the same
time, the national index declined
3 per cent, due chiefly, it was
said. to the fact that the auto
mobile industry put its new cars
on the market two months earlier
than usual, depriving January Of
the stimulation that normally
comes at that time. The report
adds:
However, the January, 1885,
national index-21 per cent be-
low nOrmal-may be compared
with 80 per cent below for
January . year ago."
January's business gains were
widely scattered throughout the
country. Richmond and Balti.
more were also among the 46
cities nearest normal.

CURB MARKET
LOSESGROUND
GRADUALLY
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Feb. IL dN.S).
Although q few issues manifested
strength, profit taking continued
in curb stocks as O whole and
the market began to lose ground
gradually. Early firmness in Gtil-
tiles was dissipated. Trading was
fairly active on the downside.
Oils continued to show frac-
tional losses throughout. Cosden
issues met with realization after
their recent sharp advance and
the preferred sagged u point
to IA.
Sunshine was steady in q
slightly easier metals list. Gold
shares we're meeting with most
Of the selling. Coppers showed
little change.
The more active power shares
began to lose ground established
in initial dealings, shortly after
the opening. A fractional gain in
Electric Bond and Share was
converted into q similar loss and
Niagara Hudson Power and Cities
Service sold down on the session.
Illinois Power and Light So pre-
ferred held on to q gain Of more
than a point and National Fuel
Gas was steady at highs for the
day.
Wayne Pump spurted in the
specialties, netting Ia points, but
quickly lost " point Of its gain.
Parker Rustproof was also strong,
netting more than two points
while the new stock gained frac-
tionally.

Cotton Goods

NEW YORK. Feb. IA (LNs.).-with
cotton goods markets sales today again
embracing only moderate quantities for
immediate delivery, mills and buyers
were about ready to admit that the
usual spring buying movement was lost.
Prices were again unchanged for the
most part. Mills continue to quote tax
uncertainties as important factors in
the dull trading. Uncertainty as to the
liquidating policy OF the pool, which
may force spot prices down considerably
If prosecuted vigorously is also an in
fluence making toward delay in buying.
The current belief now seems to be that
buying will be at best only moderate
for the time being.

President Franklin d. Roosevelt
endorses the observance of Univer-
sal Bible Sunday on Sunday, Decem-
Der 6.
The churches of the nation will
unite next Sunday in the observance

of the unrivalled place which this
great book has had in the making of
our nation and the nations of the
world. The celebration. as former

ed missionary activities, now in
their 12Oth year, more than 268,000,-
0O0 volumes of Scriptures have been
distributed in more than forty coun-
tries and in 175 languages.
In urging the observance of Uni
versal Bible Sunday President Roos-
evelt says: "It is to me a most inn
pressiVe fact that the Bible, one Of
the Oldest works known to man, re-
mains today preeminent as the
worlds best seller. The universal
character of the appeal which the
Bible makes, to my mind, bears eio-
quent witness to its Divine origin.
Unique alike in its form and in its
claims no other work has made.
through countless centuries, such an
appeal to the mind and heart and
soul and conscience of mankind as
has the Sacred Word.
''The American Bible Society has
done a noble service now for more
than a hundred years by carrying
this Book of books to people all over
the face of the earth. / trust that
this wood work may never be suf-
fered to grow less. Universal Bible
Sunday deserves to become one Of
the most significant days I'm the
church calendar. / hope for the OBJ
which the Bible Society Is |
planning for December sixth the |
fullest measure of success ln |
knowledge Of and rever-
snce for the Divine Truths which the
Bible holds"
