HOLLYWOOD, July 19 Six months here making movies, six months free for the New York stage.
 That's what 20-yearold G n e Tierney's movie contract, like that of many another screen newcomer, grants her. Newcomers and vet erans, once they've known the stage, have demanded the freedom to re- turn. But is usually ends there. The novice, if she clicks, suddenly finds herself cast for four or five movies ahead, and the Hollywood pressure force sings an enchanting song of mansions and swimming pools. The stage waits. ,
 "See If I'm Not"

Wheat Prices Recover
Before Close Of
Nervous Day
Chicago Market Ends
Unchanged to "a of
A Cent Higher
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27-Wheat prices
continued to fluctuate nervously to-
day in a typical pre-growing season
trade.
After dipping ss-S cent to within
1s of the lowest level since mid
December, the market more than
recovered its loss. Led by May con-
tracts, the only option which could
not be satisfied by delivery of new
1910 wheat, prices pushed up 1h
to rs cents from early lows and
closed unchanged to q cent higher
compared with yesterday, May $685.
80, July 965s-12.
Some buying was credited to mill
ing interests and scattered trudes to
cover previous short sales, but op-
erations were restricted because Of
tagging domestic demand, stagnant
United States export trade and un-
certainty regarding the 1910 crop
outlook and the wheat loan pro-
gram.
Corn closed unchanged to u high
er, May 57A-as, July STA: oats
1a-A up; rye as higher and lard
5-15 lower.
Although disposal of wheat under
loans which mature in two to three
months continued to disturb trad
ers, the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics predicted the market would
be able to absorb reasonable VOL
ume without much price effect if
loans were liquidated in an orderly
manner" Washington reports said
the amount held under loan as of
January 10 was 153,242,00O bushels,
indicating 7,802,882 bushels had
been redeemed since January l.
Prospects of moderating weather,
with possibly some precipitation in
the hard winter wheat belt next
week, tended to restrict buying of
new-crop contracts, but traders
pointed out that determination of
the benefit or harm resulting from
recent weather experience could not
be expected until growing weather
in March.

Carrier Bonds Ease,

Specialists in Recently
Depressed Utility
Looms Swomped
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-While bond
traders peppered rail loans with
small selling orders in the stock
exchange, a buying stampede for
Standard Gas & Electric issues de-
veloped in the curb today.
A last-minute rush for the utility
company's loans, recently under
pressure, completely swamped the
specialists in these issues. Four
minutes before the close an order to
buy a total of 1877 bonds came
through. When the smoke cleared
five minutes after the final gong, all
the issues mad been closed at S.,
up around points.
The downward shift in the carriers
was counter to the course taken most
of the week. Brokers said the cur
rent flow of favorable revenue re-
ports apparently had provided buy
ing stimulus earlier, but today more
weight seemed to be given to the
slackening in industrial activity.
Fractions lower were such issues
as Nickel Plate 41as at 1914, Frisco
41as of '78 at II. st. Paul SIS at 61s
and Erie IS of rs at 14&.
Utility liens shuff1ed uncertainty.
A check to definite action in this
group was the study being given to
S. E. C. Chairman Franks recent
statement concerning integration of
the power companies.
Portland General Electric 4Rs
lost IA at 7034 The issue had been
hammered lower last week, but later
rallied.
United States Government bonds
played over a range of around 4-32
point either way.
The main trend was to slightly
lower prices among foreign dollar
loans. One of the liveliest, Brazil

Is lost u at 80.
Corporate loans posting small
gains included Pacific Telephone

NEW YORK, Jan. T.-Cotton fu-

Bombay shot selling orders at the
local ring in the morning following
new declines in the East Indian
market. This stopped rather alb
ruptly and when only scattered
hedge offerings and small realizing
orders appeared for sale, prices
quickly responded to trade buying.
Reports of an excess profits tax
to be leyied in India led to consid-
erable speculation among cotton
brokers. Many thought this might
lead to a restraining effect on the
arbitrage operations between New

tinued to discuss the possibility
allied buying may become extensive
in the spring and summer, particu-
larly if the war at sea further
impedes communications with dis
tant parts of the British and

Tobacco Losses Cited.
An analysis by Business Week
showed some drastic changes in
foreign trade in the first four
months of the war. Most conspicu-
GUS, the magazine noted was dis

partly attributed to the British shift
to Turkish tobacco.
Tobacco losses were more than
offset by expansion in cotton sales
abroad, but farm products generally
were hit by the shift of allied de-
mand to mechanical war equipment
and the blocking of continental
markets.

ton, the monthly bulletin of the

TALK ON CLASSIFIED
RULES AND
REGULATIONS

OFTEN the Classified De-
" partment OF a newspaper
is the target Of attacks concern
ing what are called arbitrary
rulings, needless red tape, small
town stuff and the like.
The most charitable analysis
OF such accusations is that they
are impulsive and without ma
ture thought.
After consideration, one will
probably be convinced that the
rules enforced by a newspaper
are the result Of years of ex-
perience and are formulated
for the best interest Of the ad-
vertiser and reader as well.
The Star, now entering its
eighty-eighth year, has accu-
mulated vast advertising ex-
perience. Therefore, when asked
to revise your copy to meet Office
requirements or told it is not
available, bear in mind the rule
with which your advertisement
conflicts is based on good ad-
vertising ethics, the result Of
long experience and is not per-
sonal discrimination.
The benefit Of this experience
is also yours for the asking.
