MARKET SHOWED
GOOD ABSORPTION
Oil and Motor Groups Gave the
Best Display Of
Strength

New York, March 30.-The New
York Evening Suns closing financial
review today says:
Todav's stock market was strong but
strength was displayed rather in ten
dency than in actual performance. There
were no weak sDOts unless one or two
OF the rails like Baltimore and Ohio and
New Haven or such inactive industrial
specialties as WorthingtOn Pump may
be cited as exceptions. There were on
the contrary numerous strong issues.
The absOrptive power OF the market was
M all times IN evidence and yet brisk
bidding did not always bring OUT an ade-
Quatc supply. Initiative was far from
uniform Notwithstanding that sentiment
favored the bull side
The gold moycment perhaps. com
mands the most earnest attention Of
the street at the moment Regarded
in the light of challenge on the part
Of London to the supremacy of tho
| Federal Reserve bank in its control Of
credit, the amount Of the precious metal
which will be shipped here in the noxt
few weeks or months becomes OF prime
Importance. With between So. 900 600
and $40 900 900 already here and an
nouncement Of another $40, ,000. 900
having been shipped, the movement gives
promise Of assuming considerable pro-
portions.
Price fluctuations in stocks certainly
justified constructive view Of the
market position, although il may be
presumed that little will be done until
after the first Of the month in view Of
! the financial operations to be handled
at this the closing of the years first
quarter.
The oil and motor groups gave. the
best display Of strength and animation
| from the beginning. Stutz Motor was
again the center Of the stage with new
| high price to it's credit or perhaps dis
credit at better than 360. General
Motor, while firm, was subdued, The
Mexican oils were substantially higher.

FLORIDA STATE HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY TO MEETsIN oCALA


The week beginning May srd will
be a gala week in Ocala. The 33rd An
nual Convention Of the Florida State
Horticultural Society viii be held here
May A inclusive, and the Community
Chautauqua will be held here May G.
10 inclusive. The Community Chau-
tauqua is one of the largest organi-
cations Of its kind, and this is the
first time it has been in Florida. The
city is expected to present holiday
appearance for the week. Ocala has
a first rate reputation for entertain.
ment and it is anticipated that it will
be UP to the scratch at this time.
The Annual Convention Of the Hor-
ticulturaI Society is of State wide i'm
portance and the gathering this year
in 0cala is of particular interest be-
cause of the fact that the Society was
organized in this city in 1888. This
years session viii also have before it
for discussion and solution several
very important problems affecting the
citrus industry of Florida, notably the
problem of marketing the grapefruit
Of the state and the disposal of citrus
drops and culls.
The Community Chautauqua opens
its summer season in OcaIa. On its
program is some of the best talent
on the chautauqua platform. including
WeItman's Famous Cosmopolitan
Orchestra, The Percival Vivian Play
ers, who will present the big Broad
way dramatic success Fine Feathers"
The Boston Light Opera Revue, The
Alpress All-Star Co., The Theresn
Sheehan Concert Co., and several rec
lures Of wide reputation.
It is expected that Ocala will be
decorated for the gala week, and
many who attend the Horticultural
Convention are expected to remain
over to the Chautauqua. The fact that
Ocala is reached by good roads from
most points in central and south Flor
ida will probably bring many persons
to the city in their automobiles. thus
adding an outing on the open road to
the attractions of the week.
The attendance at the Horticultural
Convention and the Chautauqua will
give many persons, too. an opportun-
ity of seeing Silver Springs, which
are the largest in the United States.
The wonderful pools and caverns are
to be seen through the glass bottom
boats, and the bathing is fine.
