SCHOOL CHARGE

st. Louis, Mo, March 11.-Victor
]. Miller, president of the board Of
police commissioners, was pre-
pared to appear at a special meet
ing of the board of executives this
afternoon to submit proof for his
charges that vice existed in a high
school, many students of which are
children of west end residents of
the city.
The special meeting was called
yesterday following publication of
Mr.. Miller's charge that he had
evidence that girls, students of this
school, had formed a secret organ
ization, which required of all APP
plicants for membership that they
must have violated the moral code.
A similar organization existed for
boys, MIR. Miller charged in his
statement, which was made at a
/ community meeting.
| Mr. Miller said he had received
| a number of telephone messages
and written communications which
had convinced him that his state
ment was not strong enough"
| Members of the school board and
heads of all high schools have de-
manded that Mr. Miller bring be
| fore them all facts on which he
: based his charges. These officials
were unanimous in their criticism
for Mr.. Miller's failure of having
brought this matter to their atten-
ton before making his charges at
an open meeting.

FAIR DEMAND IN
CATTLE, Sheep;
PORK IS LOWER

U. S. Yards, Chicago, March II.
Cattle and sheep were in fair
demand during the present week
and values closed strong. At the
opening of week best lambs made
5000, but all grades dropped after
that. Many hogs were held over
from day to day, and this hurt the
trade. Receipts today were esti-
mated at 500 cattle; 1000 hogs /;
5000 sheep and 800 calves.
CATTLE.
A small supply was on hand to-
day, and the trade was of little &C
count. Compared with a week ago
best steers showed a gain of 100
15c while other grades closed
strong Best heavy lots made $9.4h.
Cows and heifers gained 25@60c
during the week. Prime cows were
placed at $70e@725 while best
heifers were quoted at IS and bet
ter. Gamers and bulls held about
steady but calves closed mostly soc
lower, with few vealers at SO.
HOGS.
Light hogs were mostly 10c low
er at the start, but sales were as
much as 15c off later in the day,
and the trade was slow. Good
heavy lots were little changed
however. Choice lot stuff went t
$11.00@11.10, while rough packing
hogs sold down to $3.50.
SHEEP.
Bulk of the estimated 5000 prac-
tically all were to big packers and
the market was only a nominal
one. Best lambs were quoted at
SIS. 50@15.75 or steady with a we;k
ago, but medium grades closed
mostly 25c up for the period. Aged
muttons showed a gain of SOC for
the week.

(Copyright. 1eS2.i

New York, March 1.-THE situa-
ton in the bond market during to-
days short session remained about
as il was yesterday Trading was
quite active, and there were sew
eral special movements, such as the
weakness in Great New York Trac-
tions and the strength in sugar is
sues. A number of new high rec
ords were reached. In the foreign
government group, for instance,
Danish municipals, the French gov
eminent SIS and the Swedish SIS
all struck fresh tops, while United
States war loan and the rest of the
foreign loans were little changed.
Victory 4a's sold most of the time
slightly below their high of the last
hour yesterday.
marlborough refunding SIS opened
down two points, then regained
some of the loss. They were the
weakest of the fractions, rejecting
the Interborough's threat of re-
Ownership unless it could drop the
Manhattan Elevated guarantee.
Manhattan AS lost over point.
Cuba Cane Sugar rs and SIS both
went two points or more. Mercan-
tile Marine 6's also got to their best
price OF the year. Goodyear SIS OF
1941 and Consolidated rs both lost
ground. In the railway section
Standard dividend paying bonds
were strong and some of the lower
priced rails, like Peoria and East
ern. which rose to a new top, kept
around their highest. Norfolk and
Southern refunding SIS, Iron Noun
tain As and Great Northern rs
were up substantially.
The new offering of the 20 year
5b per cent Province of Manitoba.
Canada, bonds at 1929 and interest
by a New York banking syndicate
proved a stimulus in the market for
Canadian provincial issues. 1t
pulled most all the listed Canadian
bonds up to a new basis, although
the market has remained only mod
erately active. Manitoba 6's of 1925
were quoted 99Hs bid offered at
10014, the SIS of 1880 were Far and

the 6's of 1916 were 1851 bid, Of

Curb Market

tBy Special Leased Wire. J


New York, March 1.-THE fea-
ture of the curb exchange today
was the pronounced weakness in
the marlborough s per cent bonds.
Heavy selling followed the state
ment of the company in which in
timations were made that either the
elevated lines would be divorced or
the company put into the hands of
q receiver. The management ap-
parently is making an effort to
eliminate the responsibility of pro-
viding the annual dividends on
Manhattan. The selling came prin-
cipally from stock exchange houses,
and about the only buying orders
came for the specialists, at lower
levels. Some of the professional
traders also sold the bonds and re-
purchased before the close at a
profit
Dealings were smaller in stocks,
with the lO v priced issues again the
favorites. Columbia Petroleum was
the leader in the oils, and Volcano
mines featured the mining list be-
ing in good demand at around its
previous high record price.
Boston and Montana was in mod
crate supply and reacted slightly.
Amalgamated Leather was unusual
ly strong due to limited offerings
and scored a sharp advance; frac-
tional gains were recorded in the
Radio issues. Postum Cereal, Stan
dard Oil of Indiana, also about
strong. Goodyear sold at yeste1~
days low point and Inter Continen-
tai Rubber was easy. Gilliland met
some selling and dropped substan-
tial fraction. r. J. Reynolds en-
countered profit taking at the start
but rallied later.

OF WEEK CLOSE

Chicago. March 11.-Trade in
wheat was slow and of a typical
weekend character today. There
was little outside trade and what
little business there was. was most
entirely local. The decline OF 1 y
pence in Liverpool futures started
the market lower. Pit traders
were mainly bullish and operated
on the buying side. At one time
they bid prices up l cent from pre-
vious close because of the light OF
ferings. The bulge brought out
some selling on resting orders and
prices dropped almost as fast as
they advanced. meeting with sup
port around the previous close.
Weather over the southwest Is
clearing up and the storm is pass
ing eastward. Primary receipts Of
Ills, 700 busheI were only slightly
below those of a year ago. Kansas

was little business reported at the

Cash situation in corn is

and the same is true of yellow corn
to some extent. Receivers reported

OLE sHAREs STRONGER.

The American oils took more part
in the proceedings today than they
have in some time. There was no
particular reason for their advance
except that this group has been
backward in the general market and
that the fear OF a cut in Mid Con-
tinent Crude, which has been hold
ing speculation back, has now about
disappeared Instead the trade is
beginning to talk about price ad-
vances coming in the spring. Pa
cific Oil, which is the most consist
emily supported of any, got across
80. The pool in Cosden, which took
lot OF stock around Sc yesterday
passed its favorate ahead. II as
expected, oil prices go higher later
in the year, Cosden, with its un-
usually large reserves, will so bene-
fft that it will, so ii is thought, in
crease the dividend rate. The ex-
PLANTATION for the sluggishness in
Texas company's stock for so long
was brought out plainly with the
publication of the annual report
This showed loss in gross earn
ihSS duTIHR 1871 Oh S4VsUUU,OUU. OF
40 per cent. Notwithstanding these
losses, Texas company paid out
$5,600,00 more in dividends and it
had deficit on the year OF $8,77O,-
ST. against a surplus the year be-
fore of $18.614372.
WHITE MOTORS.
! In the prevailing fashion now
adays. not only do stocks not GO
down on bad eIrnings report, but
| they are apt to go up, taking the
ground that it is a relief to have
bad news, long expected, out of the
| way. This was the procedure in
| White Motors. The annual report
, had shown as the result of operat-
ing losses and inventory write-offs
a reduction of nearly Sc 900. 900 in
profit and loss surplus. This item
had stood at $S,472,311 at the close
| of 1920. At the end of 1921 it had
fallen to 1851 ,663. But the reg
ular dividend, which the street had
rather considered in doubt, was or
! dered paid. and the president in his
! remarks to stockholders spoke of a
slow, but steady improvement in
| business since October
