NEW YORK, Jan. 22—-The Euro- pean situation again became an im portant fActor in the stock market prices declining over a good part of the Ist in response to the further depreciation of foreign exchange rates. Short selling and profit taking was apparent in a number of leading industrials but the volume of stocks brought out was comparatively small. Sales approximated 650,000 shares. NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—A large ac- cumulation of week-end selling orders imparted a weak tone to prices at the opening of today’s stock market, but most of the early losses were limited to fractions. Selling pressure was most effective against the minor oils and such speculative favorites as Baldwin and Studebaker. Reynolds Spring dropped two points. Callfor- nia Petroleum, up a point was one of the few early strong spots. The downward trend continued as trading progressed, but the volume of sales was relatively small. Baldwin extended its loss to one point while Pressed Steel Car preferred dropped two points and then recovered its loss. Losses of @ point each also were recorded by Pullman, United States Alcohol, American Ice, Woolworth and Pan-American while fractional de- clines were noted in Continental Can, Reading, Southern Rallway, St. Paul preferred, Pacific Oil, Allied Chemical and American Sugar.

Demand sterling being quoted around $4.655%, French francs 6.43 cents and the German marks at .0047 cent. Except for bullish demonstrations in certain food shares prices generally continued to sag in response to short selling and liquidation by recent buy- ers. Finding that the bidding up of new leaders falled to steady the list traders began to offer stocks more freely around mid-day especially Bald- win, Studebaker, International Paper, Allied Chemical, Pan-American, United States Alcohol and New York Central all off 1 to nearly 2 points. Steel and Tube preferred advanced 4) 4 points on revival of reports that it soon was to bo retired at 110 while Reynolds Spring broke 3% points on ‘announcement of increase of capital Stock. International Agricultural Chemical preferred dropped 8% points and Woolworth 3 with a score of other issues showing losses of a point or more. Call money opened at 4 per cent. The customary leaders were in- clined to stiffen in the afternoon when concerted buying of California Petro- Igum, Pan-American, Sugars, People’s Gar and Interborough Rapid Transit lifted them 1 to 3% points.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—Wheat took « downward swing in price today dur- ing the early dealings, the German stoppage of work in the Ruhr district and deflance of the French being con- strued as indicating further shrink- age of European buying power. Rains in mportant parts of the domestic winter wheat territory tended also to handicap friends of higher prices. Buying which heretofore of Iate has become aggressive on declines below 118 for May was no longer in evidence this morning. The opening, which ranged from % to %c lower, with May $1.18% to $1.18% and July 31.12% to $1.12%, was followed by a decided general fall in values. Subsequently, announcement of a heavy increase of the United States visible supply total brought about a descent to the lowest prices since the tirst week in December. The close was unsettled, 1%c to 2%o net lower with May $1.15% to $1.16 and July $1.11 to $1.11%. : Despite scantiness of receipts, corn and oats declined with wheat. After opening a shade to %o lower, May 72% to 72%c, the corn market under- went a material sag. Selling on the part of recent pur- chasers had a bearish effect in the later transactions. Prices closed ner- yous, %c to 1@%e lower, May 72% to 72%c. Oats started unchanged to %c off, May 44% to 44%c and later showed a setback all around. Provisions were strengthened by an upturn in quotations on-hogs. Cash Grains. Chicago, Jan. 22.—Wheat—No. hard $1.15@1.16%. Corn—No. 2 mixed 70@70%c; No. 2 yellow 70% @7ic.

Swoopiug down on what the agents believe {s a place that dispenses t!m- toxicating beverages, they find the bartender standing at the door, smil- ing serenely and waiting for them to search the saloon. ‘The agents are mystified, as ‘Paul Revere” is usually ahead of the “enemy” and had tipped off the sa- loon, How the word travele is puzzling the prohibition department. Every possible “leak” has been elim!nated, but still the saloons are as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard when the federal searching party arrives. Tilictt Uquor manufacturers have also perfected a system to escape from the government's officers. They use the buzzer system. More than « dozen places that were recently raid- ed were equipped with this device. The manufacturer hires a lookout, who merely presses a button when the government sleuths approach. This rings a burzer in the manufac- turing plant and the moonshine ap- paratus is dropped into specially con- structed wits. faa a Harry H. Patterson and H. J.

July | Zoning System Is Explained, Casper May Take Up Plan Zoning is the application of com: mon sense and fairness to the pub- lo regulations governing the use of private real estate. It {s a pains- taking, honest effort to provide each district on neighborhood, as nearly as practicable, with just such i protection and just such lfberty as are sensible in that particular dis- trict. It avoids the error of trying to apply exactly the same building regulations to every part of a city or town regardless of whether {t is @ suburban residence section, or a factory district, or a business and financial center. It fosters civic spirit by creating confidence In the justice and stability of the protec- tion afforded. Zoning gives everyone who I'ves or does business in a community & chance for the reasonable enjoy- ment of his rights. At the same time !t protects him from unreason- able injury by ne!ghbors who would seek private gain at his expense. Zoning regulations differ in “dif- ferent districts accord’ng to the de- termined uses of the land for ri de business, or manufacturing and according to the advisable heights and ground areas. But these ‘differing regulations aro the same for all districts of the same type. They treat all men allke. samt re NES Meet me at the Smoke House. tf 77% | bulk 240 to 300 pound butchers $8.26@ 62% | weighty packing sows $7.00@7.25; 31% | sirable 100 to 110 pound pigs $8.00@ 22,—Copper | $7-00@7.30; killing pigs $8.00@8.70. northern |°2 few early sales, early top matured Lead | Steers $11.00; bulk beef steers of qual- to 225 pound averages $8.45@38.60; 8.35, big packers bidding lower; bulk 8.25; weighty pigs up to $8.60@8.70; heavyweight hogs $8.15@8.35; medium $8.20@8. light $8, $7.25 @7. packing sows rough Cattie— Receipts 22,000; classes slow; sbout steady; grades beef steers steady killing better to strong ity and condition to sel! st $$.25@ 9.75; stockers and feeders strong to 25c higher; bulk desirable feeders $7.25@7. bulk desirable bologna bulls $4.50@4.85; bulk canners around $2.85@8,00; bulk desirabl elight veal- ers to pacers $10.50@11.00; upward to $12.00 and above to shippers.
