SWAN, CULBERTSON & FRITZ LATEST REPORTS
New York, Feb. 25.
S. C. & F. Dow Jones summary of yesterday's markets:
The market early reflected the omission of the Chrysler dividend. Experts are of the opinion that car- riers behaved well, despite the de- cine in car-loadings. The market was encouraged by the decline in brokers' loans. There is a possibility thot the utility situation will be clarified next week, but retail trade is below that of the corresponding perlod for last year. Business loans continue downward. We are still expecting early action on freight rates. Commodity shares continued to be in good demand.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this, (Isa. 0:2 and 0. 11.2.).
The following ellations will also be read from the Christian Science Textbook "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The advent of Jesus of Nazareth marked the first century of the Christian era, but the Christ is without beginning of years or end of days. Throughout all generations both before and after the Christian spiritual era, the Christ, as the
of God, has iden, the reflection como with some measure of power and grace to all prepared to receive Christ,
"Jacob, Truth.. Abraham, Moses and the prophets caught glorious alinipoes of the Messiah, Christ, which baptised these seers in the divine nature, the essence of Love. The divine image, idea, or Christ, was, is, and ever will be Inseparable from the divine Principle, God." (Page 333).
