BRISK ADVANCE IN
STOCK LIST TODAY
BY STUART p. WEST.
STAN Correspondent Washington Star


WALL STREET. New York, Janu-
airy 26.-As had been the case Friday
and again Saturday. the market today
went decidedly against the calcula
tons of the professionals. Profess
sional Wall street had been bearish
at the close of last week and was
bearish again this morning. and both
times il was wrong. Those who
reckoned upon renewal or the de-
cline had on their side the fact that
the federal reserve statements and the
report of the New York clearing house
institutions. issued after the close of
business Saturday. had on their face
appeared to be quite Disappointing.
They also had in their favor the re-
sumption of the decline in foreign ex-
changes. which carried sterling down
to new low records.
But neither the disappointing bank
hgureS nor the renewed weakness in
exchange prevented the stock market
from having quite brisk advance
during the early part of the session.
Later. when the United States Supreme
Court met and announced that a de-
cision in the stock dividend tax use
had again been postponed. the traders
seized upon il as "A pretext for selling.
Another COnSide ration Arises.
But the impressive fact remained
that where everybody has been talk

ton and the credit situation as the
supreme influences in the stock mar
ket. they gave place this morning to
another consideration which to prac-
teal minds is more important STILL
namely. the possibility OF share own
ers in industrial companies receiving
like the Crucible Steel stockholders "A
distribution of the accumulated profits
of the last five years.
Crucible Steel shot forward again
this morning. and Immediately there
was an eager demand for other stocks
like Baldwin Locomotive. American
Wool. United States Rubber and Ma
tional Lead. which. among numerous
others. have undivided SURPRISES
which they can pay out at any time.
Calculations Miscnrry.
The street has all along thought
that no such action would be taken
until the Supreme Court had pro-
nounced upon the taxablity of stock
dividends. but the course pursued by
the Crucible Steel directors would
seem to indicate that some of the big
corporations do not propose to wait
any longer.
that there would be no decision in
the stock dividend case today traders
commenced again raid on prices.
They quickly found. however. they
were selling into a bag and started
to cover, with the result that prices
all along the line started upward
again to prices higher than before.

Cubn'x Sugar Output.
Cuba's cane sugar output this year
will be about one sixth that of the
whole island. which produces about
one-third of the worlds cane sugar.
The total. it is estimated. will be about
$1,000 00 bags. and Cuba cane should
therefore, make about 5.250,000 bags
as against 4,319.0O0 last year. Most of
this crop has already been sold at
satisfactory prices 1t is estimated that
the company this year will show
profits of at least S25.0o0,0Oo, and
there are people who believe that il
will come close to around s3s.ooo.ooo

bones it is said that the production

just as much.

ment on the imm ediate situation.
sIoss-She field Advance.
The advance in the market price o!
Sloss- Sheffield is based on the
strength of the pig iron market in Tho
south. In the last two weeks the cost
of pig iron has advanced 81 ton
bringing the present price up to $40
No steel or iron company will make
public the price it is paying for pig
iron. but it is said mat a fair est
mate of the cost to Sloss- Shefiie It
would be SIS a ton. which would give
the concern a profit OF $15 ton. The
company is producing at the rate O.
nearly 100000 tons year, and it i.
said this may be increased.

for participation in the spring bull mar.

the outlook for 1920 is extremel,

lanes Moore Hickson, Episcopal
faith healer, will conduct a healing
mission on March % and "a at S.
Pauls Episcopal church, Council
Bluffs, according to an announce
ment made by Rev. Wilford Ernst
Mann, rector.
Mr.. Hickson is a London church
man and has previously conducted
such missions in various parts OF
the country. Rev. Mann attended his
mission in Boston and obtained the
healer's promise to come to the
Council Bluffs parish upon his re-
turn from England.
Bishop Longley OF the Iowa Epis-
copal diocese and Bishop Shayler OF
the Nebraska Episcopal diocese tried
vainly to arrange for missions in
their respective states. Council
Bluffs is the only Iowa city which
Mr.. Hickson will visit, and he will
conduct no meetings in Nebraska.
Applications Already Received.
Applications have already been re-
ceived for appointments with the
Episcopal healer from places more
than $50 miles from Council Bluffs
Everyone must be admitted to the
church by appointment cards fur
nished by Rev w. +. Mann. rector
of St. Pauls. None but the sick and
suffering will be permitted to enter
the church during the missions.

Mr.. Hickson conducted missions,
crowded into the churches for a
touch OF the healer's hand and a
word OF prayer from his lips. Thou

Endorsed by Doctors.
The medical association OF one
large eastern city assured Mr.. Hick-
sou of its endorsement of his work.
Cases were cited by the medical
men where decidedly beneficial re,
suits followed his ministratons, and
some instances where unmistakable
cures were effected.
To prepare applicants for partici-
patton in the healing mission, Rev.
w. Z. Mann, rector, will conducl
special educational conferences be-
ginning next Friday at 10 a. m. Sum

night will be devoted to explanation
