FINANCIAL NEWS
MARKET MOVEMENT
 SURcES UPWARDS
Headway Of Bears is Offset by
 Increased Buying.

Wall St., 10:45 A. M.-There was a better demand for stocks in the early trading today, and the market betrayed none of the weakness of the preceding session. With no essential change in the Mexican situation over night, the bears were able to make little headway by using this factor to sell the market, and their efforts were more than offset by the in creased buying induced by the low levels established yesterday. Stocks of corporations with large invest ments in Mexico were heavy, South ern Pacific and Mexican Petroleum falling to new low levels for the movement. Oil shares were again weak, but otherwise the movement was upwards. In the first half hour the Standard shares were placed on substantially higher level, with nu- merous gains of 1 to 6-S points.
 Close-The market closed strong. Over sold conditions caused a sub- stantial advance in prices today, de- spite the Mexican crisis. Buying of stocks went on steadily, although bus mess contracted in the late dealings.

British Newspapers Comment.

London, April 21.--Considerable comment is today devoted to the Mexican situation by the British newspapers. @ 8s
 The Manchester Guardian. the most influential organ of the English peace party, says that war. should 1t come, would < be purely ridiculous if the stakes were not human lives and national regulations. If both sides are itching to he at each others threats, the newspaper continues, it would be discreditable to them both to have no better occasion for be- ginning. The originating cause of the dispute is undoubtedly the exten- sion of the Monroe Doctrine which from being mere notice board to Europe against political trespassing in the new world has become sort of gazetting of the United States as the political school mistress of Gen. tral and South America.
 President Was Wrong.
 The Guardian thinks President Wilson was wrong in refusing to rec ognize General Huerta and that the resulting intervention will put Pan cho' Villa in the position Huerta now occupies, which Is 4" not an attractive prospect, for Villa possesses In q higher degree every fault that Pres ident Wilson has found in Huerta"
 The Liverpool Post, in taking the ground that President Wilson's mes- sage was the inevitable continuation of American policy in refusing to recognize General Huerta, says the responsibility of the United States could not cease with u mere
 
 conquest under arrangements and the upholding of American dig nifty, nor could it be confined to the immediate protection of international commercial interest.

pie of Mexico but against General Huerta. says the Globe, "We have the root weakness of President Wilson s policy. He undertakes to say who does and who does not represent the Mexican people.
