Alcho-Rub! All of this also re-
minds us of the gangster express
sion, being rubbed OUT. And of
course in this case it isn't the era
ser we sometimes apply to Ashe
Gas.
Congratulations!
This week we offer orchids to
DR.. and Mrs. Hunter, and best
wishes to their young daughter
Sara Malinda". We know this is
one child who is certain to brush
her teeth, even if she is too young
to show them in a dental smile
at the present time.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Vaughn Eller,
of Clifton, we also offer congra-
tulations upon the birth of a
daughter, April 10, and to all 9TH
ers who can boast of a blessed
event during the past week.

Domestic Wool Prices

mestic wool prices showed further
easing tendency on the few scattered
transactions closed in the Boston
market during the past week. Sales
were mostly on fine woods.
Holders of half bloods and coarser
grades of domestic woods were in
clined to refrain from further ef-
forts to push sales, because of the
lack of response on the part of
buyers to the previous reductions in
quotations.
Country accumulations of three
eighths and quarter blood bright
fleece woods appeared to be under
pressure to find outlets.
Graded combing bright fleece
wools were quoted on a grease basis
at 81 to 40 cents for fine delaine at
80 to 40 cents for half bloods and at
AZ to 43 cents for three-eighths and
quarter bloods.

1885 was one of the better years.

vanced with stocks. Among them
were wheat, cotton, rubber. hides.
Veteran commodity men said ma
jor wars in the long run warp specu-
lative play toward the bull side of
the markets. Then tendencies
seemed that way. although Gov
ernment controls have entered the
situation to discourage wartime
infiation."
So far as some analysts could see,
the lowering of factory and mill
schedules has not gone far enough
to hit employment and consumer
buying power hard.
Sales Trend Favorable.
General Motors reported the best
January sales in its history. Retail
trade was appraised as well ahead
of comparable figures a year ago.
Dunn & Bradstreet estimated re-
gional gains ranged from S to 10 per
cent above 1899 figures.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported department store sales in the
week ended February 3 we're per
cent higher than in the 1899 period.
Having replenished stocks, many
companies were intent on adjusting
production more closely in step with
the present rate of buyinR.
The big motor industry was out
standing in the reduction of Feb
ruary manufacturing. Excluding
holiday weeks, assemblies Of cars
and trucks dropped below the 100, 900
weekly pace for the first time since
November but held above 1899 fig
ures.
Carloadings. electric power con-
sumption, residential building, tex
tile manufacturing and other major
sections of industrial activity also
retained substantial gains over 1899
figures.
Milder weather was rated a stim-
ulant to retail buying of spring goods

did not fully reflect the arrival OF

with considerable skepticism in A.
