The couple will sail about March 20 on the Tayo Maru, so as to reach Mr. Osato's land In cherry blossom time. "We can have any kind of a house we want," Mrs. Osato went on, "even a California bungalow, but I should like to try being truly oriental for a while. I know I shouldn't mind sitting on the floor to eat my meals, although I would like my bed to be two feet above floor level.” Will Open Studio. Osato plans to open a studio there. Photography hae become popular in Japan and people are overcoming the oldtime prejudice against posing be fore a camera. "We are told the work doesn’t com pare with American photography," Mrs. Osato said. “The photographs sent us by Osato’s friends in Tokio show them posed stiffly on Amei^can chairs.” Toyo Mukai. who accompanied Osa to to Omaha when he first came and who was with him here for three years, will Join the party at Denver, and will return to Japan to be asso ciated with Osato in his new studio.

The Christmas card greeting reads as follows: When this plain little card reaches you, "A tramp of a greeting,” you’ll likely say, And likely think we’re stingy, too. So listen to us, we pray. We're moving east, the far east, you know, (We’re now a family of four) It costs lots such a long way to go— Hence this cheap little card at your door. Does It have to be written In gold That we wish yoU happy and well? Aren’t we friends enough, both good and old. This wish for you simply to tell? Next year perhaps we’ll send you a vase, ur a real oriental fan. Best we can do is a card tleoso days— It costs lots to move to Japan. \rrv Shipboard Rules for Care of Sets Dnily Routine Followed to Keep Radio Sets in Good Condition. — In a recent issue of "Radio World,” some sound advice is given for care of radio sets. It is as follows: "Many who own radio sets believe that once the sets are in working order and bring In signals, the only thing left to do is to watch the bat teries. A radio set isn't like an egg— it improves with age. A radio set needs looking over once in a» while. Dust is.an enemy of radio, because it generally forms a short circuit. Aboard ship there are certain things that are part of the daily routine that must be done. They serve to illus trate the care that should be taken with a radio set. Here is a set of rules to follow: Daily. 1. Wipe off all instruments care fully with chamois skin or a very soft cloth. i. Examine contacts of all receiv ing circuits 'and remove dirt and cor rosion. 3. If using crystal detector, clean by Immersing in bisulphide of carbon. 4. %lean spark gap and transmit ting apparatus. Inspect all transmis sion leadB both on the back and front of board. Weekly. 1. Rub nil moving parts lightly with vaseline. Blow out variable con densers to remove' particles of dust that may collect between plates. 2. '* Clean transmitting condensers and inspect the connections. 3. Clean key contacts and dress down with a light filing, if found to be pitted. 4. Rub the antennea switch blades lightly and see that the clamps are making good contact. Monthly. 1. Test and charge storage batter ies. See that the solution is clean by use of hydrometer. I 2. Make note of any deviation in • the operation of any of the instru ments and file same with the head of the department, 3. Inspect antenna connection* and wipe off all insulators with stiff brush dipped in carbon bisulphide. Hints on Aerials. I.ead-in wires to the receiver may be connected to the end of the aerial or to the center. If connected at the end. it then becomes what is known as an inverted aerial. If con nected at the center of the aerial It becomes a “T” aerial. This type aerial has a tendency to reduce the wave length approximately one-half that of the inverted "L” arelal. In case the aerial is constructed on the roof or outside the house, it is advla able to carefully Insulate the lead-in wire by running a porcelain tube through the window casing or some other part of the house. This is not absolutely necessary in dry weather; but when the wood gets wet, it be comes a good conductor and may cause trouble as a result of electrical leakage through moisture. Match Prices Soar. Berlin, Dec. 23.—Matches, formerly as cheap in Germany as elsewhere, have kept pace with the overwhelm lng advance of all other commodities The value of a match is bow reckon ed at about 20 pfennigs. Waiter* or tram conductors who supply matches to forgetful smok ers are forced to exact payment for the service. License to Wed Returned. Steubenville, O., Dec. 23.—“We‘had fight." This terse explanation wa* made by Tony Gizzi when he re turned, unused, the marriage license issued in the Jefferson county pro bate court here to Tony Gizzi and Nellie Montperry of Dillonvale.

Closing trades were ?»®lHc lower on wheat, De cember leading. Corn was '»#Hc lower, oats unchanged to >»c higher and rye He lower. Durd finished un changed to 6c higher and ribs un changed. All grains sold at new high figures for the season the past week, but the outside buying fell off and with rather general profit taking the bulge was lost. Wh«u showed more strength than coarse grains, and at the last prices were higher to lHc lower, the latter on July. Corn was 2c lower, oats % «f’ 1T*c lower and rye Ho lower. Hard gamed 25@S0c, while ribs were 6®15c lower. Aside from tha purchase of 1,500,000 to 1,750,000 bushels No. 2 Manitoba wheat by Greece and some business with the United Kingdom, there was little In the news that attracted at* tentlon.

Long corn wee on tap early and prices eased off readily, but on the break there was god class of buying credited to the leading bulls and a rally came toward tha laat. Trade waa largaly of a local character with the prospect for largo re ceipts next Tuesday having considerable Influence on the attttlude of pit traders. Shipping demand was only fair, but there wee a fairly large export business put through at the seaboard, rather surpris ing In vlaw of the holidays abroad. Oats ware dominated almost entirely by tha action of corn, and held within narrow limits. Export demand for ryo was In evi dence at the seaboard, with Norway and Qermany credited with buying. Trading In futures waa rather alow, with some selling here egalnat purchases at Duluth. The two northwestern markets received lit carl. Pit Kates. Corn tradara have sold futures In antic ipation of a break tor two days Most of tha pressure has been based on ex pectations of a big run of cash gram Tuesday and Wednaaday. Possibly they hava discounted the effect of the big run as a liberal percentage la to be applied on sale* to arrive and will not be on the market. There la alao expected to bo soma buying by country shippers to cover December shipment sales. Receipts of corn at Chicago on Thursday will be around 1,400 cars unless the unex pected happens.

The Chicago market continued weak, showing the effect of surplus supplies and a light demand prevalent during the pre vious week’s trading. Storage butter was in active demand here and likewise In the east. Few changes were recorded In quo tations during the week. Imports were light, but prospective ships were reported larger. . Principal markets closed this week aa follows: On 92 score butter, Chicago, 61 ^c, 1H points loss; New York, 66c, V* point gain; Boston. 54c, V4 point gain and Philadel phia, 55Vfcc, unchanged. New York Dry Goods. New York. Dec. 23.—Cotton goods closed very firm today. Gray goods have been selling well to printers snd bag manufac turers. Ysrns were firm. Idnens were ir regular on some of the sheer goods, but household articles were steady. Knit goods were soiling steadily In mod erate quantities for fall and spring. Financial, New York, Dec. 23.—Trading on the principal financial and commer cial exchanges was suspended for the triple Christmas holiday. The banks and the money market were open for business, however; so wap the foreign exchange market, and the Chicago Board’of Trade. Foregin exchange rates went, in most cases, on the narrow and purely local market fractionally above the previous day's figures, sterling went at one time nearly lc above Friday’s final rate, reaching the highest level since the downward reaction culmin ated on Wednesday. From that day’s low price it bad recovered by the quarter cents, and at $4.66 Vi stood less than 4c under the month's maximum. Exchange on Koine also got to the highest rate reached since the market turned upward again. Considering the extent to which speculation for the rise must have been driven out in the 9c fall between December 13 and December JO the attitude of the ster ling market in particular Is interest ing. Halt Not Strange. No one can ever be absolutely sure how far a movement of foreign exchange ratts la governed by rurely financial or economic influence and how far by political At the moment, however, the adjourned conference of European premiers reconvening hardly -more than a week from now, and with an atmosphere of hopefulness regarding It unmiatagably re flected In the European dispatches and the European markets, it Is not strange that the foreign exchange should have halted in its decline. Perhaps the most Interesting question, from the market’s viewpoint, is whether the actual reaching of a practical plan of compromise at Paris would result In a further spectacular advance In sterling and continental exchange rates or whether, after the habit of other speculative mat. kets, rates would decline under "realising sales on the good news." The economic background of the recent rise in rates on Europe will possibly determine the question. ( hfcnge* Irregular. With the stock market keeping holiday today, more attention was paid to the week’s movement as a Whole. The net changes of prices from the previous week's closing are as Irregular and con tradictory ss might have been expected from the character of the daily trading. Advances and declines fairly balance numerically; each run to » or 6 per cent In many Instances. Perhaps the most convincing part of the week’s movement, taken as a whole, Is the advance In nearly all the fkliway shares. This had at least the excuse that the railways had not advanced In the earlier part of autumn to any such extent as the industrials; that the dis appointing comparison of the October net earnings statement with those of 1921 is not only now fully understood, but that present Indications are that the statements for November and December will make very different comparison with last year. Exactly what will be the course of rail way traffic after the turn of the year is still a matter of conjecture. But we already know that no such decrease from the October maximum has occurred as that of 1921 and 1920. In these^two years, and in 1919 also, the November and December weekly loadings were less by 200,000 to 300,000 cars that the October record. This season the decrease has been less than 100,000 with the latest returns showing all records for the current period broken. Wall Street Topic*. This is the time of the year when Wall street, as a whole, like* to sit down and speculate a little about what is going to happen to it next year, whether the new 12-month period will bring good or evil, and what sort of result* may be possible when the total for 1923 is totaled up. It must he «aid that, ta*en as a whole those in Wall Mreet which make a close study ofs conditions in the country are inclined to optimism. A railroad president with an inquiring , turn of mind recently checked up on the amount of rending investigation directed at the railroads as a whole. He was aghast to find that there are pending no less than 134 bill* in congress which af fect the carriers, ranging from important rate changes to proposals that sch(#>l children who want to take a look at the president bo carried to Washington free of charge. It will surprise no one when oil price* generally are advanced during the early part of 1923. Certainly the fact that such is the intention of the industry has been well enough advertised. Not only that, but the first of the advance* already have, been made, through a horizontal increase in prices of Wyoming grade* of oil. That ihis move will snread to the big producers in the east appear* certain. The prophecy, made very early in the year, that 1922 would be a period of mergers and consolidations has been fully borne out. There have been cor porations put together under one head in most of the basic and important in dustries. The next thing Is to see how they get along and whether the merger* have been a good thing for the stork holders of Individual corporations. The reason has been one of economic nsces ilty, plus the possibility that centralized Belling agencies and centralized clalized manufacturing methods will bring a real saving.

FURS. WOOL. There is little new or encouraging to report sines our J>eerish comment a week ago All markets are very quiet with scarcely any trading in either country o» packer hides, and it Is very doubtful whst turn the market will take after tht fi*a* of tho year. Some feel that the markmmi will have to go a great deal lower to put the industry on a safe basis, whit# others are more sptimlstic about the fu* tdre of the market. In looking at ths mat ter from al langles we are forced to ad mit that leather stocks are large, and that tho total supply of hides. Including stocks on hand and In process of tan ning, is increasing. We cannot expect any great expansion In the domestic de mand for leather, and our export trida is limited on account of ths unfavorable economic and financial conditions In Eu rope Higher leather prices In the facs of a weakening hide market are very un. likely, also. Regardless of the uncertain futurs trend of the market local buyers have made few reductions In i|lde prices this week. Calf skins and klAare week and lower. Horse hides are w#k, but no change la made In the price locally. On the other hand, ponies and glues are advanced In price. The wool and sheep skin markets keep firm, and the price of wpol pelts, locally, has been advanced this week. The fur market ts reported easier, but local buyers are willing to taka on soma furs at present price*. 1 he tallow and grease market la prac. i tlcally unchanged Kastern dealers hav# | had a good call for Immediate delivery to f fill out orders for various grades and many of them have atout cleaned up their stocks. After this trade la supplied It Is expected buyers will retire from active participation In the market for awhile: but dealers look for a steady market to prevail on account of stocks being sold up so clossly. The trade has been mors acttva for tallow than for greass this waak. No change la made In local prices and buyers consldsr the market strong.
