MARKET SCARS;
STOCKS BuLLISH
Buying Movement Con-
tinues During Short Ses-
sion-Securities Strong.
Rx BROADAN WALL.

New York, March s.-The actual
bank statement today showed an in
crease in surplus OF s9.732.610, a de-
crease in loans of s47.S60,000; net
demand deposits increased ss,63i,000
and net time deposits increased ST.
32s,00 The average statement res
ported a decrease in surplus of So
a2s, $50, an increase In loans of S40,-
sos, 900; net demand deposits in
creased s20.127. 900 and net time de-
posits increased s2,642.000.
Another bullish demonstration oc-
Cured in the stock market today
and moved prices of most issues
into new high territory. The urg-
ency with which shares were bought
was considered impressive, the
movement starting at the opening
and continuing without abatement
up to the close of the session, when
final quotations were at about the
topmost level of the day. The total
turnover for the day was unusually
large for a short session.
The continuation OF the upward
movement has converted many per-
sons from the bear to the bull side OF
the market and It Is expected that
many selling orders now slightly
above the present level viii be can
celled as is Usually the case when
prices advance sharply. PROFIT taking
Is also expected to develop, but the
expansion Of public interest in the
market is expected TO result in ready
absorption OF offerings. 1t is custom
ary to look for liquidation following
a sharp advance such as has been
witnessed recently but the market en-
joys a unique position in that wealthy
operators who have handsome paper
profits on their securities do not sell
because they will have to turn the
bulk Of the profits over to the United
States Government in the form OF
taxes.

Gorgeous sets, embracing scenes
in new York cafe, mountain views,
and beautiful interiors of fashion
able home, are features of "Old
Wives for New" the superb photo
play. which is to be the attraction at
the Rialto Theatre on Friday and
Saturday of this week. Cecil b. De-
Mile directed this picture with great
skill and careful attention to detail.
The novel from which Jeanne Mac
pherson constructed the scenario was
written by David Graham Phillips.
The story is one which searches
into the souls OF men and women and
shows the inner workings of mind
and conscience in an unusual tangle
of circumstances. A mans effort to
remain true TO his wife who has lost
all her pride in personal appearance !;
his later attempts to defend from the
tongue OF scandal really noble wo-
man who loves him; the attitude OF
his children toward father and mo-
Their when divorce Is sought-these
vital problems offer a splendid lot OF
material to which Mr.. De Mile has
done full justice. The costumes worn
by the cast represent an outlay OF
$4,000.

dangerous. Authorities, however.
