The stock market struggled against downward tendencies today, but failed to make much headway in either direction. Fractional declines in the early morning were partially erased going into the fourth hour, but not much activity appeared in the form of bulk transactions. Among the issues following the downward path were Allied Chemical, Eastman, Westinghouse, Caterpillar, Union Carbide, United Aircraft and Southern Railway. Favored for a time were U. S.

Steel, Harvester, International Paper preferred, General Electric and American Telephone. Bonds and commodities shaded off a bit in irregular fashion. Losers in a generally lower curb included Aluminum Co. of America, Consolidated Gas Electric Draper and National Steel Car. Wall streeters were intensely interested in the present private mo-i bilization of the aircraft industry to handle its huge backlog of orders i and in the prediction that volume nrivliiptlin nf thp Rritish and Pet.

The cold high from the northwest has reached the middle Appalachians and a wide field of low pressure was moving eastward across the middle Rockies today. This disturbance will be attended by general rains over southern areas and snows over northern districts as it progresses eastward over the central valleys.

Following a very cold Sunday with below-zero temperatures covering the upper Mississippi valley, tem-eratures were rising generally west of Lake Michigan. Moderate to heavy rains have fallen along file west coast, moderate showers in tha middle gulf region and light snows over the lake region. The indications were for cloudy weather in this vicinity with Intermittent light snow tonight and light to moderate snow Tuesday. The temperature will be rising. BY WM.

E. MoKENNZT America's Card Authority There are many bridge stories that I am a bit skeptical about, and maybe I am a little skeptical of the famous story about William' "Buffalo Bill' Cody. As the story goes, Buffalo Bill had such confidence in his marksmanship with the sid-shooter, that he made a bet of $1,000 that he could shoot out all 10 pipes on the 10 of spades at 12 paces 38 feet. A crowd gathered and the card was nailed to a tree. Buffalo Bill took his 12 paces and fired 10 time and one by one the ten spots on AK962 VAQ2 AKQ 473 VJ94 J983 J1074 AQ6 4AQJ1QS VK108 1052 4K9 Duplicate E.

and W. vuL South West North East 1 4 Double Pass. 24 Pass 3 N. T. Pass Pass Opening 4 8- the card were punctured.

Where is the card? Well, the story says that some young Barnum quickly grabbed the ventilated ten-spot and auctioned it off for $150! Buffalo Bill had confidence in hie skill, but the declarer whom I saw play today's hand should not do any betting. He won the second round of spades, then cashed three diamonds. Next he played the ace and queen of clubs, hoping to find North with the club king, which would give him an entry Jn dummy with his jack. But South of course, won the trick and cashed his good spades. The correct play was to win either the first, second or third spade trick, cash the three diamonds, then lead back a spade.

South could cash his good spades, but he will have only four tricks and must then lead away, from either the club king or the heart king, either of which gives the contract to West.

That describes the national business trend. "How far will it go?" everyone asks. Nobody can answer dog matically, President Roosevelt holds the key. But he probably doesn't know it. in I luentiai financial and business circles it is taken for granted that an "I do not choose to run" a ement would perk up confidence, enter- prise, activity irst in the stock market, followed FORBES by economic gains.

Yet it cannot be expected that Mr. Roosevelt should thus reason. He has never been a bear on himself not at least since he withdrew from the business arena, where he developed little 'foundation for valuing his talents highly Therefore, one may readily be lieve those Washingtonians who confide that Franklin D. Roosevelt doubts the abilijty of any other individual to head the government and who, consequently, expect him to make the sacrifice, through sheer love of country of serving as Chief Executive four more years at least. Employment givers, large scale investors, thrustees of vast accumulations of other people's savings, cannot acquiesce in Mr.

Roosevelt's appraisal of himself. It simmers down to this: First, no new demonstration of bullishness in business or securities Is expected so long as Roosevelt continues to keep the whole country guessing. Second, if he insists on a third lease of power, look for reflection of disappointment, apprehension, alarm in responsible circles. Jim Farley tells me that he doesn't think the chief will run. But he, life the rest of us, has no definite knowledge.

However, until the big boss opens his mouth, things are likely to drift as they have been drifting thus far this year. Eventually, belligerents will have' to buy more here. They have the wherewithal. Britain's latest step to control the marketing here of American securities owned by her nationals isn't a depressive move; the contrary, rather, since it Insures orderly liquidation. How severely the spirit of adventure has been crushed during recent years la illustrated by comparisons of what was happened to securities.

6.77 BELLIES March 5.40 May 6.00 BY FRANKLIN MULLIN CHICAGO, Feb. 26 Prospects-of more wet weather in the grain belt and increased marketings of old wheat coincident with liquidation of government loans helped to depress wheat prices today. Quotations tumbled about two cents a bushel at times to the lowest level in a week. Peace talk coming from Europe in connection with progress of the Welles mission also attracted attention. A private estimate of the" Australian wheat crop was raised.

There was a sharp increase in wheat receipts at principal terminal markets. The government has announced loans on 1939 wheat will expire April 30. Wheat closed 1 -2 cents lower than Saturday, May July corn down, May 56-, July 56; oats lower. CHICAGO, Feb. 26 Wheat prices dipped about a cent today, but then steadied, rallying frequently as small scale buying appeared.

Bearish factors included forecast of more precipitation over most of the grain belt, continued liquidation of loan wheat and peace talk associated with the Welles' mission in Europe. Tending to offset this, however, was the outstanding strength of Winnipeg prices, which were frac tionally higher much of the time. iTrnfter shh this anmrRntlv wm du. much as Argentine corn was priced about half that of U.

PAPER WAREHOUSE AT KAZOO RAZED BY FIRE; LOSS $40000 (By Associated Press) KALAMAZOO, Feb. 26 Chief Frank Van Atta today was conducting an intensive investigation of the cause of the $40,000 fire which early Sunday morning destroyed the two-story brick warehouse of the Michigan Paper Stock company, here.

Firemen poured water on the ruins throughout the night to quench the smouldering bales of paper which were ignited about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The most disastrous fire in Kalamazoo since 1938, Sunday's conflagration was not controlled until after four hours and 40 minutes of fighting. Yesterday the entire south wall was washed away by streams of water. Six Michigan. Central trains were held up for more than an hour while firemen stretched hose across the tracks.

Chief Van Atta said the fire was most stubborn one he ever fought. The building is owned by the Ruud Manufacturing Co. from which the Paper Stock Company leases space. Several freight-cars on sidings were destroyed. Johns-Manville 70 'hens 15; broilers 2 lbs.
