Average price of twenty rails for Thursday was 109.91. up .01. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-—Specula-tive sentiment was encouraged by the Indications of better support displayed In many sections of the list in yesterday's late trading and stocks which were able to score a net gain in the previous session were again in good demand in the early trading. Steel shares were in good demand on the announcement that operations of the United States Steel Corporation subsidiaries had ex pended to 90 per cent of capacity, the highest rate this year. Aggressive movements In opposite directions in many sections of the Wist gave the market a highly irregular character around noon. General Electric broke nearly six points to 368 on selling based on the belief that, no action regarding* a capital readjustment would be taken at tomorrow’s meeting which will be held in Boston. It is understood that the majority of the company’s directors favor waiting until later in te year before autorizing a splitup of the present shares.

CORN CHAMPION AFTER 18 YEARS Hoosier Farmer Learned to ‘Take a Licking/ How to take a licking is one bit of knowledge garnered In the seed-corn competition. E. M. Vogler, Batholomew County farmer declared in a recent article in Farm and Fireside. Vogler tried for eighteen years to grow the best ten ears of seed com in America and finally succeeded In winning first prize at the 1925 National Corn Show. But while striving for the grand prize, Vogler and his father builtup a seed-corn business that brings in around $3,500 a year, won 300 ribbons at various exhibitions and doubled their average corn yield on parts of their farm. “For five years in a row they grazed national sweepstakes without ever making it and never opened their facet —except to grin," said one of the corft show officials. “You learn how to take a licking and laugh it off," Vogel said. “It’s a real sport and if you finally do manage to put the other fellow sec-ond-best, for a change, you feel right good.” In the Sugar Market (By Tbomsoh & McKinnon) Aside from the activities in the sugar markets themselves today, some attention will probably be paid to the announcement that the Cuban senate had approved the creation of an export sugar board for the purpose of studying crops and markets and recommending protective measures In the industry. It is - understood that sales of Cuban raws to refiners this week have been larger than originally reported. Business has been done on a2 % basis, and sellers have seemed able to hold the price up in face of large prospective supplies. Sugar prices have fallen to such low levels that undoubtedly a good deal of buying for investment has occurred. On the other hand there has been considerable selling of distant months bv opera tors and Cuban . interests, but these offerings have been pretty well absorbed Any improvement in demand should be reflected in higher prices for futures.

Bv United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 25,—Grain prices opened irregular on the ChicagoBoard of Trade today. All future wheat deliveries except July were fractionally lower at the outset, largely In sympathy with new price levels In wheat pools In the Argentine. July wheat was strengthened by recent short selling that is known to have taken place. The majority of market students are of the opinion that higher prices cannot be expected unless a broader buying power develops. The same factors that caused yesterday’s upturn in com—light receipts and a strong cash market — gave the trade in c-om futures added strength today and prices were fractionally higher at the opening. Trading in oats was slow and first sales showed prices unchanged from yesterday’s close. Provisions opened weak. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 25 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 12:00. dost'.

DAWES BOWS TO HIS‘FATE’ Becomes ‘Diner Out’ Like Predecessors. Bv Times Special WASHINGTON. Feb. 2f— HellMaria Dawes, the fire-eating Vice President, who started out to tame the Senate, has subsided into the official "diner-out'’ of the Administration, as all other Vice Presidents before him have done. The vice presidential job consists pf snoozing in the Senate all afternoon and wearing the official soup and fish at night. A Vice President without a dress suit would be as helpless as one of Henry Ford’s workmen without his overalls. The long-tailed coat, the hard boiled shirt and indlgeetlon go with the job. That’s because the President and hts wife never accept invitations other than from members of their official family. The Vice President is the biggest home-grown fish a Washington hostess can land and always is in demand to grace guest lists. However. Dawes has tried to force cloture on Washington dinner parties, with more success than on the Senate. He has let it be known that while he can be counted on as the ranking diner-out of the Coolidge Administration, he can't stay lata So dinners where the Vice President and his wife are honor guests usually break up early—around 10 p. m.—though the fashionable dining hour in Washington society means sitting down to the table at eight.
