STERLING'S DIP FEATURESSTOCKS Hitch in Negotiations Regarding Interest on British Debt Is Blamed. GENERAL LIST IS LOWER Speculative Leaders Recover a Point After Opening Trades Are Recorded. By the Wall Street Journal NEW YORK, Jan. 17— Sterlings loss of more than a cent in the early dealings was clearly due to the hitch in the negotiations regarding interest on the British debt and bore no relation to the developments in the Ruhr. War-like dispatches regarding German troops massed at Mu .ster were shown in their true light when the German war office announced that its forces at the latter city aggregated a mere handful in comparison with the strength of the invaders. Stocks in the general list opened lower, but levels touched on the previous day's decline were not broken. Sterling declined to 54.64*4 before 11 a. m., off nearly four cents from the recent high, but the speculative community realized this reacti had nothing to do with foreign situations and stocks showed a disposition to rally on denials from both Paris and Berlin of concentration of German troops at Muenster. Recoveries approximating a point from their early lows were scored by Baldwin, Studobaker and other speculative leaders. While most of this improvement was yielded before 11 a. m., the main body of stocks was more orderly than in the early dealings. Twenty active industrial stocks Wednesday average 26.96. off 1.08 per cent; twenty active i-ails averaged 84.60, off .75 per cent. MEW YORK MONEY MARKET By United Finanrial NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Time money is slightly firmer. Rrokers bid 4% and banks offer a t4\ with some six tv-day loans at the latter figure. Commercial paper unchanged at 4% ®4 %.

CURB MARKET SHOWS LACK OF INTEREST Prices Remain at Previous Closing Levels. By United Financial NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The New York curb market offered few features of interest at its opening today. Activity was only fair and the range of prices was scarcely changed from yesterday's closing levels. Trading in the cheaper metals was again in evidence. Much of this activity is attributed to pool operations. Fortuna was very active in the first half hour and reached 62 cents, yesterday’s closing. Durant showed a disposition to rally after its slide of the last two days and went a point above its close of yesterday, to 76%. Later it sold off fractionally and clung around 75%. Mutual still showed no reflection of its absorption of other oil concerns and sold at 12 %. BOND MARKET OPENS WITH PRICES STEADY British Securities Sell at Slightly Lower Level. By United Financial NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The opening of the bond market was steady today without any new features of interest showing up in the early dealings. Liberties opened steads' and held narrowly within a few cents of their opening prices. With the weaker price of Sterling, British securities sold off slightly, the 6%s of 1921 being ofT Vi at 114%. French issues, however, were steady. Missouri Pacific 4s were up Vs at 62 and fairly active. IN THE COTTON MARKET By United Financial NEW YORK. Jail. IT.—Cotton opened irteady.

ALL EH OPEN SLIGHTLY LOWER Drop in Liverpool Market Is Reflected at Chicago. By United Financial CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—A1l grains opened lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today duo to lower prices at Liverpool and reports of an Improvement in the foreign situation. The Liverpool market opened fractionally higher, but reacted quickly under the influence of larger Argentine offerings and a disinclination on the part of buyers to follow the advance. The foreign situation appeared better today a n a result of the statement from Germany denying troop mobilization. Lower corn prices were caused by another slump in the hog market and a tendency to follow wheat. Tile trade was largely local here and the market higher on developments abroad.

BLUFFTON ROMEO IN SEA OF LODE Oscar Noe, 65, Sorts Letters as He Sings, ‘She Loves Me; She Loves Me Not.’ LONELY MAIDS PLENTIFUL Seventeen-Year-Old Boarding School Girl Says Appearance, Not Age, Matters. By I nited Press BLUFFTON. Jnd., Jan. 17.—" She loves me, she loves me not,” quoth Oscar Noe, 65-year-old Don Juan, today as he read letters from all parts of the Nation In reply to his newspaper advertisement for a fourth wife. All of the fickle fair sex subscribed to Oscar's proposition that man is monarch of the household; that the woman must not snore above a whisper. must como when called, go when sent, speak when spoken to. Oscar tossed on the wave of uncertainty between Detroit and Cincinnati, while he read letters from other faraway cities. From Green Bay, Wis., came an answer to Oscar's heart call. It was from Florence Campbell, 17-year-old girl just out of a boarding school, who said she met the qualifications and warned to know what Noe had to offer. "I have graduated from L. 11. S. and am especially versed in domestic science,” she wrote, “having finished a course of four years. My friends consider me very beautiful as well as extremely pleasant. "My sister tells .we I do not snore and my mother has often remarked that I am very obedient and quiet. “In your answer please give me a brief description of your appearance. Your age does not matter.”

What Does a Sack of Cement Mean to You? Have you ever thought of it? Inert and useless stone, blasted from the earth, guided through scores of intricate processes under the watchful care of chemist and engineer, converted into impalpable powder, shipped to every corner of the country and then, as if by magic, transformed again to stone — to make sanitary and safe the isolated home of the farmer—to increase his yields and profits—to house the product of his fields in silo and elevators—to bridge rivers—to revitalize town property by making possible the towering architecture of today—to build tunnels and subways to speed the city worker to his home—to make more beautiful and economical and enduring the cottage, the workshop and the mansion—to increase the comfort and economy of motor travel, by roads as even and hard as chiseled stone — to make structures of every sort more secure against fire and the ravages of wear and time. These are but a few of the uses of cement* They indicate what one industry can mean to a nation. But the industry’s meaning to you individually must naturally depend on what you know of it —on what you know of cement, the care taken in making it, the ease with which you can avail yourself of it. Advertisements to follow will tell you about these things.
