Bradstreet'8 Trade Review.
New York. Jan. 2. Bradstraet' tomor
row will say:
Less than normal holiday aulet in whole
sale and jobbing lines, a heavier than usual
volume of past holiday clearance 'sales at
retail, few notable exceptions to reports
of almost uniformly atrong commodity
markets, especially marked strength alike
or demand ar.d prlcen in steel and Iron,
lumber and. other building materials, ac
tive stock market speculation at advanc
ing prices, despite next to highest call
money rates and highest time money quo
tations of the year and Industry active
and sold ahead three to six months, are
some of the features of what has been
In ordinary years a quiet week In trade
and Industry.
An upturn In the weekly food Index
number, due to sharp advances In hogs,
eggs and dried fruits, with steadiness In
most other goods, is an additional element
of the week'fi news. Car shortages whlcn
cripple lumlier production and movement,
cripple lumber production and movement
continued eager buying up of unfilled or
and a further hanking up of unfilled or
ders, a sharp upturn of coal production
previous to the holidays, with a lull nat
urally reported following this spurt, are
among the notable Industrial items coming
to hand. Meekly hank clearings, $8,140,
924,000. Boston Wool.
Boston, Jan. 2. The Commercial Bul
letin tomorrow will aay:
"The usual year-end dullnes ha per
vaded the Wool trade this week, but prices
rbmaln firm. The goods market la welt
sold ahead and the demand for goods con
tinues fairly keen.
"Western operations have been neglig
ible. How far the promise of larger im
port of Australian fine wools for ac
count of the British government auctlona
will affect the contracting of territory
wool remain to be seen."

Chicago Greain and Provisions.
Chicago. Jan. 2. Below zero temper
ature led to a rush of buying in the corn
market today and forced up quotations.
The finish, although unsettled, was lo to
2c net higher with Januarv. $1.35 to
J1.35V4 and May, $1.33 to $1.33. Oats
gained He to c. In provislona the close
varied from 20c decline to 35o advance.
The chief Incentive for the buying of
corn was the fact that the extreme cold
weather was likely to increase delay to
supplies needed to replenish stocks at
terminals. At the outset uneasiness about
car scarcity was also a decided bullish
factor. Besides, there was talk of en
larged feeding demand. Subsequently,
however, reports were circulated that
Washington authorities had ordered a lib
eral number of empty cars to be hurried
from the east to help handle grain on
western roads. A lull in export demand
for cereals tended likewise to ease the
corn market somewhat in the last part of
the session.
Oats were firm throughout the day,
notwithstanding absence of seaboard In
quiry. European orders were said to have
been filled for the time being.
Provisions advanced with hogs and
grain, but in the late dealings lard turned
weak owing to heavy deliveries on Janu
ary contracts, although the deliveries
went Into strong hands.

New York, Jan. 1. The new year
opened auspiciously In the financial dis
trict, the stock market adding many sub
stantlal gains to the wide range of ad
vances maae in ine early aav or the week.
Trading was not especially active until
the final hour, when call money dropped
from Its Initial rate of 16 to 6 per oeift,
but what It lacked in that respect was
more than balanced by the diversified
dealings.
Although the current month will wit
ness interest and dividend disbursements
of nearly $400,000,000, today's money rates
were surprisingly easy, this condition, how
ever, applying only to demand funds.
Perceptible Improvement also was shown
by the leading foreign remittances, the
London quotation hardening despite the
new low record made by the Bank of
England In Its proportion of reserves to
liabilities.
Steels, equipments, motor and their spe
cialties dominated the session at extreme
gains of 2 to 6 point, many of these at
taining their highest level since the No
vember reversal. Oil, tobacco, leathers,
shippings and paper share contributed
their quota with rail, but gain In trans
portation wtre comparatively moderate.
The more distinctive specialties, no
tably American Woolen, rose and fell with
in a few point radiua and many unclassi
fied Issue displayed similarly erratic ten
dencies, although closing mostly at gains.
Sales amounted to 1,125,000 shares.
Factors of the day. In addition to the
extraordinary demand for fabricated steel
and Iron, included another rise In the
price of copper metal and rumor of more
"extra" dividends.
Bonds were strong especially apeculatlve
Issues and the liberty group rallied with
internationals. Total sales, par value, $17,
775.000. Old United States bond were unchanged

My Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of a Wife"
The Surprise Madge's Father Dis
closed to Her.
'In the first place," my father
said, much as if he were reciting a
lesson, "my financial affairs have
been picking up quite perceptibly of
late. Of course, I never shall have
what I used to possess, but I no
longer have before my eyes the fear
of a dependent old age, such as
haunted me for a while.
"Providentially and in a manner
which even yet I do not understand
there was averted from me some
time ago a drain upon my resources
which would eventually have com
pletely bankrupted me. And ever
since things have been prospering
with me, for I was enabled to make
investments with v the funds thus
saved that have resulted most favor
ably with me."
He paused as if trying to frame
correctly his next words, and in the
interval there flashed upon my
mental screen a film which would
have explained to him the rescue
from bankruptcy which he could not
comprehend, but which Lillian and
I had planned that he never should
suspect. Again I saw the mocking
evil face of the women who had
been the cause of my father's de
sertion of my mother when I was
but 4 years old, and who had come
back into his life but a few short
months before with blackmailing de
mands that threatened to ruin him.'
The Plan Disclosed.
Because of his obsessing, fanatical
desire that I should know nothing
of this woman he had fereborne to
use against her the legal machinery
that needed but a touch of his finger
to set in motion. He was even pre
paring to sacrifice his slender re
sources to her avarice when in
answer to my appeal, Lillian, call
ing upon Allen Drake to aid her,
had effectually thwarted the wom
an, driven her evil, sneering presence
out of our lives forever.
The keenest gratification I had
felt at our triumph over her was the
knowledge that my father, thanks
tet Lillian and Allen Drake, would
never know my connection with his
rescue. His reference to it showed
me that he supposed me to be in
complete ignorance of the nature of
that threatened drain upon him, and
I thrilled with gladness that through
my friends I had been able to avert
this suffering from him.
"So, there is no reasotfjj he re
sumed, and I came to mental "at
tention" at his words, "why I should
not indulge myself and you in any
reasonable pleasure. And while an
unprejudiced judge" his eyes twin
kled again, and I caught a flash of
the rollicking humor that must have
been his in his long-forgotten youth
"might not consider a new motor
car in that light, still I think we may
venture how would you like a new
car of your very own and the serv
ices of a professional garage man to
teach you to drive it the whole
thing to be a profound secret until
you are an accomplished chauf
feuse?" Really Wistful Joy.
I do not think I have ever felt so
like a gleeful schoolgirl as I did
when my father finished speaking,
and the full significance of his plan
burst upon me. I turned in hi:;
arms, hugged him ecstacially, and
fairly squealed my delight as Marion
might have done.
"Oh oh father! Oh, how per-

l'ectly wonderful. Do you really
mean it? Oh, I can't believe it;
there is nothing in the world I'd
rather have. You delightful, darl
ing dad!"
I punctuated my words with kisses
bestowed impartially upon his face
and the top of his head. As he lift
ed his face to mine and I saw the
gratified joy in his eyes I knew that
my pleasure in receiving was noth
ing to that he was experiencing in
thus indulging me.
"I reallv mean it," he said as soon
as he could get his breath to speak.
"And if you can't believe it, can you
manage the time tomorrow morning
to take a walk with me? If you can,
I'll take you to the garage where
your new car and your teacher
await you."
"Can I manage the time?" I re
peated ironically, then blushed in
voluntarily as I remembered that I
had not "managed the time" to walk
with my father very frequently. But
I mentally resolved that not on ac
count of his gift, but because of my
own awakening I would spend as
many of my future leisure hours
with him as I could possibly man
age. My father took my face between
his palms and gazed at me long and
searchingly. ,
"You look very happy, daughter,"
he said fondly. "If you only knew
how much it means for me to be
r.ble to bring this look into your
face. There were so many years "
He broke off abruptly and began
another sentence as if he had made
no reference to the. long buried
tragedy that always lay beneath our
consciousness'.
"If you can be ready then, about
10 o'clock, after Dicky is safely out
of the way, 'we'll take a look at the
new car."

BUTTER AND EGG
PRICES LOWER
TO START YEAR
Threatened Boycott by House
wives Given .as Cause
For Reduction in Pro
duce Prices.
Eggs and butter took another
drop in price during the past week.
The best fresh eggs, which two
weeks ago sold at 85 and 90 cents
a dozen, are now quoted at 70 cents
a doren. The price 'of eggs a week
ago dropped 10 cents. Storage eggs,
which were selling for 70 and 75
cents a dozen two weeks ago, are
now retailing for 53 cents a dozen.
Butter has taken the largest drop
of the two food commodities during
the past two weeks. The best pack
age creamery butter, which 'was
selling for 85 cents a pound two
weeks ago, is now quoted at 65 cents
a pound, a drop of 20 cents. It took
a drop of 10 cents last week.
The possibility of a boycott as
threatened after the holiday season,
is believed to be the cause of sudden
drop in price of these two food com
modities. The prices of both had al
most reached the "top-notch" prices
of $1 a dozen for eggs and the same
price for butter.
Apples and oranges remain plenti
ful on the local market, but no indi
cations in a drop in price have been
noted. Arkansas Blake apples are
$4.35 a bok, with Jonathans quoted
at $3.85 a box. Large fancy apples

New York Coffee.
New York, Jan. I. The market for .
coffee future was atronger today, based:
on reports of an Improving European de
mand and buying by house with Wall
street and cotton exchange connections,
which probably reflected the more optl
mlstlo view of peace treaty prospect and
money rates. After opening 4 to 7 point
higher the market showed some irregu.
tarlty is a result of scattered realising,
but firmed up during the afternoon with
March selling at 15.38c and May lS.E9c,
or about 25 to 29 points higher. The close'
was within a point or two of the best,
showing a net advance ot 23 to 28 point.
