Curb Market
BY STUART 2. WEST
lCopyright, 1022.'

New York, March 30.-Several
new high records for the year were
established in the curb exchange
trading today. One of the stocks
to do this was British-American To-
bacco, another was REQ Motors
Cleveland Motors also was very
strong in sympathy with the active
buying movement in shares on the
stock exchange, in the low price
groups. Independence Lead rose
several points, also establishing a
new high. Alpha Mines was again
in demand.
Amalgamated Leather was offer
ed down somewhat and Acme Pack
ing was conspicuously weak. 1t
was some time after the opening
before any transactions took place
in Postum Cereal, then a number
of buying orders placed for execu-
ton "at the market found offer
ings scarce and rushed the stock
up very sharply.
Creole Syndicate was one OF the
leaders of the oil group, responding
to what was regarded as inside
support Kirby Petroleum rallied
after having reached a new low.
Sicily Oil was easier. Standard
Oil of Indiana, Standard Oil in Ken
lucky and Illinois Pipe Line moved
forward brfskly under a good de-
mand. Less interest was taken in
the mining stocks and there was
considerable realizing in such is
sues as Nipissing, Volvano Mines
and South American gold.

New York, March 30.-There was
no Quickening of interest in the
drygoods market today. Some mills
have notified their agents to with
draw goods until prices become
stronger. There were reports OF
shadings in wide print cloths again
but the market for 3S1s inch 64x60's
and 39-inch 6Sx72's still considered
IN @SA a respectively. Sheetings
continued the mainstay of interest
with demand still in evidence. Pa
jana checks were somewhat soft
and drills and sateens inactive.
Raw silk quotations were nomi-
nally about the same but the mar
ket was not active. In finished
goods, price cuts which present
bargains have stimulated sales.
WOOL.
Boston, March 30.-Strength in
foreign markets was again a sus-
tanning influence in the wool mar
ket today, but manufacturing con-
sumers demand still failed to as
sert itself Some small amounts Of
new wool are coming into ware
houses here from the west but buy
ing on the ranges still is hanging
fire in most sections. The London
auctions are expected to maintain
their strength up to the close to-
morrow and the Nruguayan woods
are practically cleaned up. Austria
lasian sales have shown some small
buying for American account

Chicago, March 30.-sentiment
was buiiish IN the wheat market
today. The early trade was large
iy local and mainly on the buying
side. There was some commission

Later there was some buying of
May against sales OF the deferred
months. At S1.34 for May there
was some selling In anticipation of
some resting orders being uncov-
cred but influential commission

the market TO advance a cent above

Sales of 100000 bushels of wheat
were made to go to stores. Corn

Trade was local and without much

Bond Market

New York, March 20. - The up
ward swing of bond prices went on
without interruption today. The de-
mand for securities of all classes IN
every quarter OF the list not only
pushed favorite issues up substan-
TALLY but took in numerous bonds
which are ordinarily quite inactive.
Conditions in the exchange, money
and other markets as well as good
trade news, proved helpful. Cur
rent offerings, too, were fully sub
scrfbed for. and trading at slight
premium began in at least two new

Most of the foreign bonds kept
steady today. However, the Mexi-
can isues, the IS and SIS, made new

MARKET SHOWS
BIG DEMAND in
INVESTMENTS
nv STUART r. WEST.

walI Street, New York, March
so-Tne markets today once more
Smuha sized the apparent Unsuitable
annette of the public for invest
meut securities. This Investment
huyfng movement has now been
voinx on with scarcely an interrupt
tion for nine months. 1t has fore
ed old line mortgage issues up 10
to is points. has brought about even
more of an advance in second and
miro rate bonds, has carried the
hest OF the preferred Industrial
stocks from to 511 per cent
basis and has absorbed the greatest
output of new capital in the history
iof the country. Yet there is no
Indication at the present moment
that this investment demand Is
nearing exhaustion. New syndi-
cate offerings to the amount of $10,-
oO0. 900 were quickly snapped up
today, the bond market pushed for
ward on another big turn over and
high grade railway stocks along
reached better prices than they
have previously achieved this year.
Besides this demonstration of in
vestment buying power, everything
else in the days occurrences was
Of inferior consequence. Sterling
and continental rates went higher
again but were still well below the
high points of 10 days ago. The
main interest in the exchange
movement just now lies in the re-
action of the market to the latest
German reparations developments,
especially to the refusal to accept
the terms laid down by the allied
commission. The fact that sterl-
ing, francs and even marks should
have not been depressed but rather
should have risen, in the face of
this new complication, is further
proof that the exchanges are NOV
ing primarily under the influences
Of international trade conditions
and that policies are entirely a
secondary factor.
It was perhaps the broadest mar
ket Of the year SO far on the stock
exchange and also one of most
active.
The test had come in the first
days OF the week, but efforts were
made in speculative circles to bring
about reaction. The upshot was
to show that the main drift of
prices had not changed. that there
had been no distribution to speak
OF, of important holdings, and that
those who had sold out expecting
to buy back cheaper, were destined
to be Disappointed. It could not
be disputed that the market yes
terday and today came back much
easier than it had gone down pre-
yiously. Not only was all the
ground lost between last Friday
and the following Tuesday that re-
acted but many of the leaders went
higher than before. This was true
Of such representative industries as
Studebaker, Baldwin Locomotive

true also of some of the rails.
