SENDS
CURB DOWN
SLIGHTLY
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Feb. "a Q.N.SO. 4.
Further selling came into the curb
market in later morning trading
today, depressing the list to ir.
regularly lower levels.
Liquidation was in evidence in
all divisions of the market, but
losses were small except for a few
individual issues.
The oils encountered a good deal
of selling after a firm opening.
Creole was hard hit, sagging more
than 2 points. Woodley Petroleum,
Gulf Oil and Humble sold down
fractionally. Standard of Ohio i'm.
proved.
The mining shares were steady
on the whole, with only fractional
variations on either side of previ-
Gus closing levels. Newmont was
a distinct exception, turning down
points despite firmer prices for
copper. Activity in the group was
fair.
Losses outweighed gains mar
rowly in the speciality shares, with
earnings results playing a part in
determination of prices. Aluminium
of American dropped 2 points on
profit taking, and losses of a point
or more were sustained by Thew
Shovel art Wilson Jones. Fansteel
Metal, General Tire and Tubize
Chatillon gave ground. New Haven
Clock was up considerably and
American Laundry Machine and
Glen Alden gained, the last in re-
sponSe to better earnings.
With the exception of a few of
the more active lower.priced shares
utilities were also lower on the
session.

TeIeViSiOn Still Just
A Coming Attraction

"No commercial television for
1887" is the report Of the indus
try given in the current issue of
The Financial World.
Probably stock promoters are
largely responsible, says The Fl
nancial World, but the fact re-
mains that television is thought
by many investors to be "the COM
ing industry" and much effort is
being spent in attempting to de.
termine just which company-pre-
ferably one whose shares are sell
ing at low price-offers the op-
portunity of getting into the situa-
ton on the ground floor. Much
progress has been made in lifting
televiSion from the realm Of merely
a scientists dream. But is CONNER.
cial television imminent?
Some of the difficulties which
arise are of technical nature and
come under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Communications Commis,
sion. Then, too, the range OF tele-
vision is still limited to a distance
of about IS miles, so that it now
appears probable that the first
telecasts will be limited to cities
having high population density
such as New York, Philadelphia,

COTTON EASES
FROM HIGHS

NEW YORK, Feb. "a UNsO.
AS a steady demand for cotton
continued to come in, the list
held mostly firm, although there
were slight retreats from earlier
highs on profit-taking.
After the first hour, the list
was as much as IS cents a bale
higher, with new crop months
tagging behind near contracts.
From the trade, cooperatives
and spot houses came good in
quiry for the near months. Wall
Street and foreign brokers took
distant options, attracted by the
discounts at which they are sell
ing under spot prices. Commis-
sion houses liquidated, and the
Far East and leading spot
houses sold several thousand
bales of october and December.
New crop months were weaker
on reports of record fertilizer

That numerous problems remain

Full recovery in the nations ex.

achieved, according to a report
made public by the American
Chemical Society. Taking the 1928
1925 volume as a fair average, the
normal level has been surpassed,
the report, prepared by Otto Will

clares, adding:
Gwen remembering that nor
mally this trade would have
shown a regular annual in.
crease in the decade since 1928
1925 had there been no depres-
sion, it is not unreasonable now
to speak Of a full recovery in
our chemical exports as an
accomplished fact.
"The outgoing trade, however,
still remains about One-fOurth
below the high level of 1929, and
our chemical imports are less
than 60 per cent Of their value
in that abnormal year."
United States chemical special
ties are pushing ahead in foreign
markets and have become almost
the largest class Of chemical prod
ucts to be sold abroad, it is pointed
out. The report adds:
"The sale of these popular
American products, intended
chiefly for use in the house or

Score of 40 to 81.

The Hardin high school. Bull
dogs chalked up another victory
to their credit Monday night by
defeating the Eastern Montana
Normal Yellowjackets of Billings
to the tune of 40 to 81.
Both teams played hard and
fast basketball. The Bulldogs took
the lead after the first tip-od
and held it throughout the game
The score at half time was 21-18
The team showed much improve
ment over last weeks game and
by mid-season they will be a very
aggressive team.
The scoring attack was centered
around Robert Yellowtail, IT., and
Pretty Weasel, with Bailey and
Cook doing stalwart work at
breaking up the big Normal boys
scoring attacks.
Adamson marked up six points
and showed much fight, especially
under the basket. The fans saw
BigmanE In action for the first
time this season and were much
pleased with his fast and tricky
passing.
