lower.
The liquidation accompanied grain
trade pessimism over war develop
ments and was induced partly by
extreme weakness of securities
prices. Talk of improving crop con-
ditions and favorable weather, with
showers forecast for the next "a
hours, also influenced the selling.

STATE DISTRIBUTING
MORE LIQUOR PROFIT

OLYMPIA - The State Liquor
board today distributed $3.50, 900
in liquor profits from the holiday
season to the state, counties and
cities.
1t was the boards second dis
tribution since Oct. l and its 33d
since it was formed in 1884. To-
days money went 1852 800 to the
state general fund, s97,5o0 to
county governments and $500, 900
to cities and towns.
Due to the small percentage 60
ing to the state general fund, the
distribution will not aid much in
reducing the states $500, 900
deficit in that fund.
