POOLS PUSH THEIR 'ADVANTAGE IN THE WALL STREET LIST Trading Was Broader and More Active Than in Preceding Days of the
 Week
By Associated Pres,

New York, April A.-Basing the calcu- lations largely on the more encouraging asSects of the railroad strike, the pools continued to press their advantage in the stock market today, many issues mak- ing substantial accessions to recent gains.
 The market derived some of it's in creased momentum, however, from out side or public participation, commission houses with connections at interior com ters reporting a pronounced revival of interest at midwestern points.
 Trading was broader and more acxsve than in the preceding days of the wess, but very large proportion of the turn over again comprised the leading oil, steel equipment, motor and food or sugar shares.
 Stock dividends, actual and prospective, as represented by American Tobacco, Woolsworth and Union Bag and Paper. helped to sustain the advance, partic- ularly among specialties, m which gains extended from 3 to almost IS points.
 In several noteworthy instances high est quotations of the day were made toward the close, although realizing for profits elsewhere was apparent, especial iy among steeis, equipments and ship pings.
 The money market followed it's course of recent days, call loans opening at per cent, but advancing by easy stages to sz2 per cent at the end. Quotations for tine money were unchanged and few loans, except for short dates, were made. Steadier conditions prevailed in the for eign exchange market Advances from London indicating an early rise in the Bank of England discount rate occas- toned no surprise, in view of the recent advance of French rate.
 With Liberty issues and Victory notes again weak, the entire bond market >s- acted, rails and industrials also losing ground. International recovered part of their setback. Total sales, par value, were $16a2S.O0o Old United States 2s were lower by A on call.

American Tobacco Pays Dividend of 75 Per Cent Com mon-Standard Oil to Increase Preferred Stock.
 Liberty Bonds Make Another Decline

Liberty bonds. which fell sharply on Monday on the announcemeRA of the new treasury borrowing policy. slumped further today. The Victory 4%s for the first time sold at close to a per cent at 96 4S, and the Victory 39zs touched s644, selling to yield about per cent. The second As and second 4s4s sold as low as S.4o and the fourth 4i1s down to Sl42 More than S10,000O0O of Liberty bonds were dealt in on the exchange, and the downward movement was regarded as a continuation of the adjustment of Liberty bonds to the new interest
  For the quarter ended March 51, 1920, the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company reports net earnings after interest charges of SIS, ,o52, 446, equivalent to $25 share earned on the s44,956,50o outstanding $100 par capi- tai stock No mention is made in the report of federal taxes.

 United States government with drawals from the banks have been fairly heavy during the past few days. Interior banks are also withdrawing funds from this center. These are two important factors in the local money situation. Tomorrow the gov ernment will pay the interest due on the fourth Liberty loan A. per cent bonds. There were S6,57S, $50 150 of this issue sold throughout the country The semi-annua1 interest now falling due amounts to about NSS,OO0,oo0, of which it is estimated that A2,0oo,oOO will be paid to holders in this federal reserve district. This money will naturally find it's way back into the banks in a few days. so that it is ex- pected that money rates will work lower.

BULL|SH NEWS IS
 CAUSE OF RALLY IN COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady At Net Decline of Eff teen to Thirty-five
 Points
By Associated Pres.


 New York, April 14.-Bullish crop news caused rather sharp rally in the cot ton market during the middle of the day, but reactionary sentiment was more in evidence than recently owing to expec- tations of gradually improving weather in the south. After selling at S9c early, July rallied to 8 .25c, but broke to sS.96c, and closed at 3S.02c, with the general list closing steady at net decline or l5 to s points
 The market opened steady at unt changed prices to a decline of 10 points in response to weak Liverpool cables ana active months soon sold some 20 to 2S points net lower under realizing or lidm- dation.
 Trade interests were buyers on the de- cline, and the market rallied later in the morning on expectations of bullisn weekly weather report. This proved quite as unfortunate as expected in re- lation to eastern belt conditions, com menting upon the necessity of replanting some cotton in southern sections. May sold up from 4 .31c to fl COG, and October from 35c to 35 S5c, the general list selling about net unchanged to 19 points higher around midday Demand failed to broaden materially, which evidently a disappointment to some of the early buy CTS, and the market weakened again during the early afternoon under renewed realizing with most months making new low ground for the day.
 October sold off to 35 06c and Decem- Der to 8 95c, or about 15 to g points net lower on the active positions, where the market was again steadied by trade buy l ing covering and showed rallies of a few points at the close. The curtaiment of transportation facilities was said to be checking business in the goods mar ket, and there was some talk around the ring that cotton might move here from the south for delivery on May is shipping conditions should improve.

OPTIMISTIC;
 SEES EARLY RECOVERY

SUNDERLAND. Eng.-An opti- mistic statement regarding the trend of affairs in this country was made by Winston Churchill. secretary of state for war, in a speech here. MT. Churchill said:
 Our export trade is growing month by month in value and in volume. Orders are flowing into al most all the great industries, not only from the home market, but from overseas.
 Our expenditure is diminishing rapidly. The expenditure of the de- partments which I control will be less by the enormous sum of e4O0,- 100000 at the end of the year than it was at the end of last year. The revenue also shows steady expan. sion.
 We are on the nigh road to re. covery from the injuries and the retardation of the war and to con- isolidation of the great position won by the prowess of our soldiers in the field. But there is one condi- tion. We must all work together during the period of reconstruc- tion."

FAIRBANKS BOYS LEAVE SCHOOL Al
 B0ARD'S REQUEST

Nine boy students of the Fair banks school were suspended today by the school board for acts of vandalism committed on the school premises. And they will not be per mitted to resume their studies until they have signed a written promise to refrain from such conduct in the future.
 The acts which offended the board included cutting of the bell rope. locking doors. partial destruction of the fire alarm system, and other of lenses of an equally serious charac- ter. And to further complicate the situation. the youthful offenders re- fused to apologize for their conduct or to promise to behave themselves in future.
 When all appeals by the teachers had failed, the boys were turned over to the school board and were suspended. It was thought, how ever, that parental influence would be brought to bear with sufficient weight to cause the boys to return before the close of school today. but up to noon the mutiny was still on.
 The boys suspended included: Harvey Lozelle. Hugh Smith, James Lavery, Walter Courtney. Charles Geis. Bob Bartlett. Thomas Tonseth, Russell Bellerby, and one other whose name could not be ascer- tained.
