NEW YORK. May 21.-The atten-
ton Of the financial markets was d.
vided today between the firmness on
the stock market and the fail in ster-
ling exchange to the lowest level Of
the year. Prices on the stock eZ-
change advanced in the early trading
p to IL points for many active
stocks and during the rise in prices
there was fair degree Of activity.
Most of the business of the day was
done in the speculative industrial
shares; the solid investment issues
moved very slightly, and were not
largely dealt in.
The fall in the rate on exchange
London today gave pointed emphasis
TO the situation in the international
money ma-Fet. On the face Of thngs
this extraordinary movement means
one of two results, either London
must establish. through borrowing
from our banks, without delay. a
very large credit balance in New
York or else the Bank of England
! must send to New York the rest of
its gold reserve in Ottawa.

Queer of this powerful play of the
heart and home.
The Stoning'' is from the story by
James Oppenheim, written out of life
itself. Director Charles Brabin, who
pictured it forth, was able to give it
its wonderful sympathetic treatment
by being the man who heard the
story from those in life who figured
in the tragedy.
The Stoning'' is the pathetic, world
old story Of sweet village girl lured
from loving father and mother, desert
ed and coming back to those who real
Iy love her. Its very strength is It's
truthfulness to life and a characte'-
ization that finds words of description
lifeless things.
Viola Dana, as the little girl, gives
to the screen a Characterization that
ensures her name, were she never
nor had she never-played another
role. This statement is strong, but
it is conviction born of the power of a
play that can stir deeply the emotions
of the most critical audience in the
worId-a studio audience Of fellow
players.

law by the upper branch of the Legis-
