STOCK MARKET
CLOSE ERRATIC
Peace Rumor. New Fuel
Invention and Ford Sale
Cause Flurries.
by BRoADAN WALL.

New York, April l-Three develop
ments in Wall Street today caused
considerable excitement and advanced
stocks. The first was that a peace
agreement would come from Paris
within forty eight hours. The second
was an official statement by the In
dustrial Alcohol Company that II had
perfected a fuel made Of alcohol cheap
enough to be used in competition with
gasoline in all kinds of motors. The
third came from Detroit and had W.
c. Dursnt, head of the General Mo-
tors Company. negotiating with Henry
Ford for control of the Ford Motor
Car Company. The first put all stocks
up. The second sent industrial al
cohol nearly points higher and the
last put General Motors TO a new high
record price.
The market closed irregular
II was impossible 10 get confrma- =

erai way. Durant, as the acknowi-
edged leader of the industry. and en-
joying the backing OF the du Points. is
about the only one capable o. swing

The Industrial Alcohol announce
