In the Stock Market

(By Thomson At McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 17.—While an encouraging tone is maintained in the week-end trade reviews, the uneven character of the recovery movement is stressed somewhat more. It is significant, we believe, that the steel industry continues its improvement, which perhaps is the. outstanding industrial development, with present rate of operations at around 79 per cent of capacity, as compared to about 50 per cent less than two months ago. Similarly, the gains in many other lines are notable, although here and there conditions persist which are not so satisfactory as might be desired. But We are inclined to stress more the extent of the gains, the better sentiment and the outspoken desire of leading interests to see conditions tmprove than we are "he irregularity of the recuperation movement. We feel there is no reason for undue apprehension if for a brief period the market pauses to consolidate recent gains. From the longer term outlook this? is a constructive development, strengthening the market's technical position, even though at the moment such reactions may appear somewhat oiscour aging.

WHEAT AT NEW LOW POINT FOR PRESENT TEAR Decline in Liverpool and Argentine Trade Forces Market Off. Bu Vtided Prtge CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Decidedly weak foreign cables sent wheat tumbling to new lows for the season as the board of trade opened today. Liverpool opened weak and fell to 1% c. to 1 =ic lower and Buenos Aires fell after the opening to 2 cents lower. Absence of demand with pressure from Canadian and Argentine wheat forced Liverpool down while a lower exchange rate affected Buenos Aires. Corn and oats were off sharply with wheat. At the opening wheat was 1 to 2 cents lower: Corn was % to 1 •%. cents lower and oats was % to % cent lower. Provisions were weak. Sharply lower Liverpool markets and the suspension of a large grain elevator firm on the Winnipeg exchange aded to the bearish sentiment in wheat today. Local traders are not forcing the selling, expecting that the farm board will support the market. All foreign news is bearish with demand falling off and buyers waiting confidently. Large corn receipts are expected today which may cause some pressure. Prices Saturday were within a fraction of the season’s low and traders are acting cautiously. Hedging by cash interests in oats during the past several days has had a depressing effect. Otherwise the market is running along without feature. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 17— Prev. WHEAT— High.

TOMB HUNT BLOCKED Excavators Run Into Wall in Egyptian Search. [ Bv Science Service PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17.—American archeologists digging their way into a 5,000-year-old tomb at Meydum, Egypt, have discovered that the royal owner of the tomb was a clever individual, determined to outwit intruders. A report just received from Alan Rowe, director of the Egyptian expedition of the museum of the University of Pennsylvania states his expedition has encountered an elaborate hoax. Egyptian laborers who built the tomb cut, an opening in the wall and constructed a. brick stairway, such as might well lead down into the burial chambers. At the foot of the stairs came a drop of six feet and beyond this surprise was a tunnel, with a blockade about midway of its length. At the end of the tunnel is a blank wall. Clews indicate the tomb eventually will prove to be that of a royal person closely connected with the Pharaoh Snefru, whose pyramid is near by, the report explains. The tomb is in the form of a mastabah, a construction with sloping sides and flat top. The only mastabah at Meydum, larger than that now benig excavated, belonged to the oldest son Snefru.

What Do You Know About CHIROPRACTIC? BACKACHE We would be ASTOUNDED if we could know how many lives have been altered because of BACKACHE. No one who has not suffered from this condition can begin to appreciate its telling EFFECT on the GENERAL HEALTH. That CONSTANT, DRAGGING, ACHING PAIN is ever present. In vain is the posture changed. In vain does the patient seek some comfortable position. Only by lying flat on the back is blessed relief brought.* Some patients fall to find relief even then. CAUSES What can be done? The first thing to do is to learn the CAUSE and having learned it to CORRECT it. What then can be the cause of backache? Probably the most common cause is PELVIC DISORDER and a wide range of pelvic derangement can bring about this symptom. Perhaps there is CONGESTION of the KIDNEYS. Perhaps there is an excessive TENSION in the muscles of the back. All these things and more are possible causes. The CHIROPRACTOR’S first responsibility is to DETERMINE the exact cause. “But,” says the skeptic, “what Is to be done then?” The CHIROPRACTOR does the only logical thing to be done. He then determines the cause of the kidney congestion, the pelvic congestion or the muscular tension. Having foimd the cause for this he CORRECTS It through the METHODS which are the particular teachings of this foremost DRUGLESS SCHOOL. The CHIROPRACTOR realizes the hopelessness of temporary relief measures which do not reach the cause. It is for this reason that HE has had such SPLENDID SUCCESS is so many thousands of cases SUFFERING with backache.

STEEL INDUSTRY HITS STRONGEST TREND IN YEARS Largest Volume in 10 Years Recorded by Westinghouse Electric Cos. Bn United Press NEW' YORK, Feb. 17.—Increased, activity in the steel industry and signs of an early return to norma! in the employment situation were outstanding factors In business in this country last week. According to the department of labor, there has been seasonal improvement for workers in clothing plants, steel mills and automobile factories, although building construction has declined. The department expects the upward trend to continue and predicts that “within sixty to ninety days the country will be on a normal employmen! basis.” . Steel Oi>cratlons Ip Steel operations have increased to nearly 80 per cent, of capacity, a gain of 2 per cent in the past week and only 6 per cent under a year ago. Orders are continuing to pile up. The United States Steel Corporation reported an increase of 51,517 tons in unfilled orders during January to the highest total in the past four years. ' The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company entered 1930 with approximately $65,000,000 in unfilled orders on its books, according to Dow, Jones <fc Cos., the largest volume in nearly ten years and 40 per cent above orders at this time a year ago. Other electrical manufacturing 1 companies are also active, with electrification projects of several railroads stimulating work. Machinery lines, including farm equipment, are generally more active than at this time a year ago. Automobile companies manufacturing lowerpriced models are reported to be stepping up production but sales in the higher priced lines are lagging. Retail Trade Gains Retail trade has been fairly brisk because of warmer weather, but profits of many of the chains are said to be declining as a result of stiff competition, although sales are above a year ago. Heavy retail business, nevertheless, is regarded as significant of the improvement in general conditions. This improvement was reflected in a firmer tone in stocks during the past week, many Issues on the Stock Exchange selling at their highest, levels since last October. Activity n railroad shares was based on expectations of favorable car loadings in the next few weeks. Loadings -n the last week of January were above the preceding week but were below loadings in the same week of last year. 0.
