NEW YORK, Nov. 20. - R -
New losses in today's trading
drove bond prices on the aver
age to the lowest levels in 3 to
u years.
Industrial obligations were
among the hardest hit in the
short session although the rails
declined fractions to an extreme
of two points.
The unsteady trend in stock
quotations did little to stimu-
late investors and most obssrv-
ed the air of wariness in the face
of disturbing domestic and fore
ign news which has characterized
many recent sessions.
During the week the railroad
section probed into the lowest
price ground since 1914 and utili-
ties since 1943. The industrial
and low-yield groups dropped
to levels unmatched since 1910.

tally those issues in the lower

Steer prices lowered near record
highs at the stockyards this
week as many more animals
which failed to qualify for the
International Livestock Exposi-

The top prices brought by
some of the specially fed steers

show steers rose to $3.50 for
choice to prime 1,125 lb. weights.
Regular market steers reached
$37.25, compared with the ma
tons all-time high of $4,000.
Choice steers and yearlings clos
ed $3.50 upward; high medium
and good grades were $3.50
$1,000; most medium and good
heifers were $24.00-$31. 90.
Good beef cows ranged $1,000
$21.O0; cutters were $3.50 down
and Gamers $10.50-$11.50. Heavy
sausage bulls reached $19.25;
good and choice stockers were
$21.00-$24.50.
All butcher hogs and sows

choice 19O-280 lbs. butchers sold

He made no move to 60 after
the box. Instead, he sat down on
the side of the desk and picked
up a white glove which Susan
had intended to discard, since it
had no mate, and pretended to
try it on his own hand.
Susan jerked the glove away
from him and put it in her purse.
Even if it didn't have a mate, she
would not have John Bates be-
lifting her personal effects. He
had no business coming there on
Sunday anyhow. The offices were
supposed to be closed. She had
come simply because she wanted
to get this thing over and done
with as quickly as possible. W :.

Gee. that's too bad, Susie. I'm
sure Steve'll be all cut up about
it. Fine fellow, Steve"
"You can skip the sarcasm. If
you don't mind" Susan felt that
they had been stalling long
enough, and she said so. adding:
"You seem to have changed
your opinion of our finefeathered
boss. A couple of days ago you
were calling him a louise. Can't
you make up your. mind? AS a

Chapter 81

CUSAN sat at her desk in the
- offices of America Loves, a
grim smile on her lips. It was
Sunday morning, the day after
her return from Oceanview. and
she was gathering together her
personal effects. It seemed i'm
possible that there should be so
many.
Already she had filled her
briefcase until its Upper refused
to work, and the diversified
manila envelope which lay on the
desk beside her was becoming
more and more bulky by the
minute. 1t was almost as if she
had lived right there in that
Office from the day she was as
signed the love column to the
fateful morning she and John
Bates had set out for Oceanview.
you're being very foolish,
Susan" she admonished herself
as. with violence wholly out of
keeping with the small task. she
pulled open the bottom drawer of
the desk and brought out a pile
of unanswered personal letters.
you're leaving this job of your
own free will and accord. No
sense regretting it. You're doing
the smart thing to get out"
Nevertheless, she did regret it.
And she smiled wryly as she re-
called the exciting days in which
she had rushed madly about,
writing copy, reading smudgy
galley proofs, handling unpre-
dictable details. hurrying to the
radio station to proclaim her
theories regarding love and the
pursuit of happiness to world
sorely in need of such uplift.
At the time she had considered
it rather narrowing experience,
because the hours were never
quite long enough to do the
things that needed to be done.
Her dreams had been disturbed
by wild Nightmares concerning
the outcome of the contest. and
many a night she had lain awake
for hours, planning ways and
means of getting the work done
in the allotted length of time.
But now. as she looked back
on it, sense of nostalgia swept
over her. Even the house-party
seen in retrospect. was not tee
bad. The guests were lust I'M

angry over the fact that Linda

there was nothing to do now. The
house-party was nearly over: it
had only two more days to go.
Besides, what had Linda Muir
Gibson done to justify her as
sumption that she could walk in
and take charge at this stage?
She had done nothing but help
Steve select the Winners-a pre-
sumptuoGs thing in itself. To-

up beautifully by selecting the

most Glacier-bound tourists, and
that leaves the sign near Brown

There is apparently no effective
law for protecting the traveller
from misleading road signs, and
an ak is not the proper approach.
Perhaps cure would be for the
pleasant hamlet on the other side
to revert to it's original name of
Midvale. It is confusing to have a

tally when it is actually one of Sc
