FINANCE AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-Transac- years, and from the opening to the close the quotations of important stocks barely varied. London cabled lower prices for some members of the international group and placed a few selling orders here at the open ing, principally steel. Bear traders made experimental shot sales and prices dropped slightly, but the de- mand was sufficient to prevent a substantial decline and the market came to a halt. In the railroad lists of stocks, the Gould group was the heaviest Both issues of Wabash and Denver & Rio Grande stocks reached the years low figures, and Missouri Pacific was heavy. Rock Island common and preferred touched low records. Weakness also ap- peared in several industrials. which recently moved widely. including Railway Steel Spring and Mexican Petroleum. Professional operators were bearish The unruffled attitude of the British government in the face of the Benton affair in Mexico de- prived the bears of a weapon. Lehigh Valley, the first important railway to make a February report. showed a decrease of $403,000 net revenue. This was offset by the fortnightly statement of idle freight cars, show ing decreases in surplus of equip ment. The bond market moved ir- regularly. Total sales represented, par value, s2.375.000. United States bonds are unchanged on call.

great play, such Little Queen and is a very convincing film presentation of the story. The comedy of the program is another one of those Key stone Knockouts, a regular riot of laughter, entitled, He Would AHunt- ing Co.," in which the fat boy appears as d count. The scenes occur in the vicinity of a hunting lodge. He is pursued by a fake bear and the situ- ations become one long scream. The element of suspense makes it a pie ture to be remembered as well as laughed at MT. Ransom is singing one of the seasons best hits and the Lion orchestra is rendering the very latest music in their own in imitable style

lndiqnation Is Aroused

FL PASO, Feb 24.-General Villas refusal to give up the body of Will liam Benton aroused indignation here. but his reason for refusal, conveyed in d private telegram, intensified the feeling. The reason given was:
 T will not give up the body out of respect for the dead. It was in tered with all religious observances and a cross was erected over it, and will not allow the sacrilege of it's removal" Es
 This word came in response to a telegram sent by one of his subor- dfnates at Juarez, informing him that no caprice should keep him from permitting the transfer of the body to the widow, and informing him that perhaps he is not familiar with the storm of criticism which had greeted his desire not to do so.
 Villas refusal to give up the body was received today by consular rep resentatives and forwarded to Wash ington The explanation came to Juarez. Americans on this side ac- cept the refusal as an assurance that Benton was shot by Villa and that he fears the delivery of the body, the condition of which they assert will indicate the farcical nature of the official statement that there was Q court martial
 Mexicans dining hilariously on this side remarked today sarcastically:
 Benton was shot and then court martialed.'
 Secret service men in the employ ment of the United States govern ment received today information which was not divulged, which indi- cates that Gustav Bauch met a fate similar to that of Benton.

market 9 to II points up. In the
early trading there was a slight
recession on better weather in
the west, but the decline did not
last long. The highest prices of
the day were reached late in the
session, following the marking
up of spot quotations by ! of a
cent.
Although Texas appeared to
be getting improved weather con-
ditions, it was pointed out that
the weather from now on can
have no effect on the pending
condition report. which carries
the crop down to-day. Private
bureau reports put the Texas
condition as low as 65 per cent
of the normal, the lowest on re-

bad start the crop was getting,
stimulated fresh long buying in
