HDELIGHTS
ON MISSION

Mr.. Hickson went about his work
with the practical air of a mechanic
at his work bench Yet one could not
fail to note the utter seriousness in
which he held his mission. Only on
occasion did he smile. He began at
one end of the chancel rail and worked
to the left. When he had reached the
end of the row of kneeling sufferers
he walked rapidly to the right end and
began over again.

Altho there was nothing wonderful
in the manner with which Mr.. Hick-
son did his work, the whole setting
was one to inspire awe. Perhaps the
most wonderful feature of all was the
phenomenal faith with which the null
titade regarded him. There was a
look Of confidence and trust out of the
ordinary in the faces of those who
went forward to the rail. Sometimes
tears were seen, but more often there
were smiles.

OIL GROUP STRONG SPOTS
or DULL OPENING MARKET
General Motors Swings Into the Leadership Later Wh
Spirited Rise of Over Fiue Points

New York, March 4.-Somc improve
ment was seen in today's stock market,
but it was without particular signif
cance in that the elevation of quota
tions resulted almost solely from the
covering OF the overextended short in
tercst.
The recovery movement, however,
was of n general character, yet the
movement was more on individual lines
rather than of a collective form. That
is TO say, one group after another
was run up so that in the end it
embraced almost the entire list. The
increasing dullness which accompanied
the irregularity Of the preceding ses-
sions plainly suggested the market ap-
preaching an oversold condition, which
was to be expected in view Of the ex-
trcmely narrow limitations of the cur
rent speculation.

the shippings. then back to the motors,
reshifting to the miscellaneous special.
ties, then to the Stcels and finally to
the rails, particularly the cheaper is
sues. There were suspicious earmarks
in these maneuvers Of liberal realizing
in one group under the cover Of strength
of another. A very common practice
in n traders market.
Despite the obvious professional and
artificial character Of the movement
the spectacle of rising quotations fur
nished refreshing relief from the dis
couraging melting away Of market value !,
in the two preceding days. The upward
swing, il it may be designated as such,
was helped along to some extent by the
reduction OF / per cent in the renewal
call loan rate to 0 per cent and the
strength of foreign exchange. Bills on
London touched the highest in a month.
The apparent easier call money mar

superficial than real. The 0 per cent

The market, however, hardened again
when rails became more active. Buy
ing of those shares centered in the
cheaper issues, especially Rock Island

Marquette and Southern Railway also
participated, the advance ranging from
to 2 points.
The shipping stocks were again &c.
lively traded in with those issues being
bought on the belief that the various
companies will work as agents for the
United States tonnage, which has been
transferred from the control OF the ship
ping board for operating purposes.
