Millcrs plan to abolish the State Mill
'Ary raining Commission.
A number Of letters has been re-
celved by the commission on this sub
Ject. and it Is understood others have
been sent TO the Governor and the ma
Jority leaders Of the Senate and Assem-
bly,. The chief argument advanced bv
those who favor the continuation Of the
Military Training Commission is that
the lesson OF discipline taught the
youths who receive military training
has proved highly beneficial in their
business connection and that it would
be mistake to stop this work.
Governor Miller's annual MESSAGE To
the Legislature recommended the dis
continuation OF the commission. This
advocacr, the Governor made plain. was
not based on belief that the commis-
SION does not perform useful func-

Inner Forces
Cause Rise i'm
Stock Prices
Upturn Largely Expression
of the Changed Attitude
L o W ar Il Immediate
Outlook of Professionals

Inner forces of speculation, rather
than the stimulus Of events from with
out, yesterday made for a further re-
covcry Of security prices from the low
levels attained during the break late
last week. The upturn was again very
largely the expression of the changed
attitude towardfthc immediate outlook
of professional traders, some of whom
covered their short contracts and
others actually purchased long stock
for quick turn. Besides. commits
sion houses reported slight amount
of outside buying. originating presum-
ably from individuals who believed
stocks were again on the bargain
counter.
The rally affected both industrial and
railroad stocks. and after each reaction
there was heightening Of buying. A
conspicuous exception to the general
trend WAS Atlantic. Gulf & West
. Indies. which. for peculiar reasons.

late yesterday, several hours after the
market had closed. when it became
known that receivers in equity for the
company had been appointed. This
decision to throw the companys af-
fairs into the hands Of the Federal
Court was reached by directors at a
meeting Tuesday, when it became
known that George A. CASTOR had
stepped out as president.
The railroad securities moved up
ward with the industrials, and for the
same reason, because the market WAS
temporarily cons dered in an oversold
condition and hence in the buying zone.
There was some disposition to draw
favorable differences from the secret
conference between representative of
the workers and railroad executives at
Philadelphia.
In the foreign exchange market
sterling was unchanged. but Belgian

Swiss francs were up. The lack Of
any favorable news regarding repara-
tions is beginning slightly to upset
those who wcrA inclined to be optimis-
tic over the outcome, despite the fail
ure Of the London conference to bring
about a solution. Spectators in the
stock market, however, were not sensi-

Motor Shares Continue Strong

This weeks declaration of the reg

and the publication OF the Studebaker
report showing more than SIS share

stored certain amount of confidence
IN the outlook for the motor shares.
The particular feature of the Stude-

IN the Street was the statement of
President Erskine that March sales
will probably exceed 5000 cars and
that, barring. unforeseen circumstances,
the companys business this yeax will
probably exceed that of 1920 Interests

to hold an optimistic view of the out
