NOTABLE STRENGTH
When Shorts Tried to Cover
Market Ran Away From
Them

Chicago. Feb. l1.-There was a
steady 'stream Of commission house
buying orders in the corn pit today,
and the market developed surprising
strength following a weaker tone early.
There was some selling then. Influenced
by recessiOns on the curb last night,
but the news was bullish and the losses
were promptly regained, and when
shorts tried to cover the market ran
away from them.
Among the influences were further
gains in the cash article, the holding
policy of the country shipper and fail
ure of receipts to assume the proper
tions looked for. 1t was asserted in a
dispatch from Omaha that the railroad
administration had refused to modify
the car priority order. The approach
of spring has led many to give thought
as 10 what the attitude of the farmer
will be toward putting in normal acre
ages.
Oats rallied with corn. The market
started easier on selling by local in =
terests. but elevator, cash and com
mission houses purchased. Shorts also
competed for the offerings, which were
limited. Receipts remained light, with
stocks decreased.

States and Canada is less than half

MARKET VERY NERVOUS:
PRICE MOVEMENT FEVERISH
Quck Rally Short Covering after Urgent Liquidation Car
ried List to NelU LotU Leuels

New York. Feb. ll.-Todays stock
market was in a highly nervous con
dition and price movements were fever
ish with wide and violent fluctuations
! During the morning the market was
swept by another wave of liquidation oi
most urgent character, carrying the
| prices of the active railroad and in
dustrial shares to the lowest levels OF
the year
| The urgent selling movement spent its
| force by mid day and with the reduction
of the call loan rate to u per cent and
with a much more liberal supply of
funds at that rate there was an exten
slve covering of the short interest.
Those operations not only brought a
complete recovery of the early losses
but carried some of the more active is =
sues above last nights closing level.
Possibility of some favorable develop
ment turning up over the holiday had
the effect of influencing the reaction
airy party to cut down their commit
ments materially. Otherwise the de.
mand was very limited and the sustain
ing power of the market feeble.
Inc forenoon session was marked hy
steady selling, which was reported to be
very largely for the western account. =.
Heavy selling. however, was reported by
the principal wire houses from all the
interior centerS, rejecting the inability
to meet demands on impaired margins.
1t was generally felt before the open
ing that the character of today's mar
ket would depend largely on the re-
sponse to the marginal calls sent out
last night. Judging from the veritable
food of liquidation which was Cncoun- =
tered after the opening. the majority
were either unable to furnish additional
margin or had decided to let 60

MUCH WEAKER TONE SHOWN
BY ACTIVE LOCAL STOCKS
Electric Storage Battery and Lake SUP Corporation Wee
the Softer Spots of 'lte List

The tone of the local market was
weaker than has been observed for some
time. There appeared to be quite good
deal of belated liquidation. much of
which apparently was the outcome of
impaired marginal speculative accounts
in the New York stocks. The drastic
marking down of security values in the
larger market within the last ten days
has played havoc with marginal ac-
counts and made liquidation in many
cases compulsory.
This was strongly suggested in the
pronounced weakness which developed
in Electric Storage Battery and Lake
Superior both issues, according to re-
cent reports, were bought heavily for
the New York account. The market
for Electric Storage Battery, as in the
case of all the high priced specialize \

of the highly speculative issues must

greater extensions. The character of
the trading yesterday afternoon in the
last hour and during the best part of
the forenoon today indicated clearly
the necessity to sell became imperative.
Developments which usually govern
the price of stocks, as money rates and
foreign exchange, apparently ceased to
have any direct influence. Prospects
of an extension of the threatened strike
of the railroad employees of the country
was, of course, disturbing element,
but was not altogether a factor in the
urgent character of the selling, which.
as stated clearly, indicated further elm
ination of weakened accounts.
The semidemoralization which caused
the further slump in security values did
not develop its full force until the end
of the first hour. During the. early part
of the session. prices moved back and
forth in an erratic fashion, irregular
rallies succeeding moderate declines at
the opening.

shares. however, were soon effaced when

FINANCIAL AID FOR
EUROPE is URGED
Scrutiny of Loans Suggested to
Promote Production and
Check Speculation

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 11.-Financial aid
bank loans so as to deny funds for
speculation, was urged today by Henry
A, Moehlenpah, member of the Federal
Reserve Board, in an address before the
Dallas group of the Texas State Bank
crs' Association.
Americas effort, Mr. Moehlenpah
said, should be toward increased pro
duction and individual economy.
Declaring that Europe's ncds were
food, raw material and credit. Mr..
iMoehlenpah said these must be fur
nished by America.
Where else can our brothers get
it," he asked, The kind of men to
whom we shall extend credit is the
peasantry of France and Belgium, the
kind of men who kept back the hordes
of Germany. These people will pay
their debts, Dare We forget them in
their extremity
Declaring that ''the war, financially,
| urged a campaign of education 'tO stop
| the people in their debauch, their
sprees, their extravagant living and
spending
This lesson must be put into prac
| tice behind the counters of every bank, "
he said Every loan should be
analysed and scrutinized to the end that
every dollar should count for produc
ton and not a cent for speculation."
Although different plans to defiate
credit are being advocated, the speaker
declared that Increased production and
conservative regulation of credits should
/ be the present policy.
The Edge foreign finance law was
praised by Mr.. MOehlenpah, who also
urged entrance into the Federal Re
kserve system of eligible state banks.
