DO Not Fear Ruhr Move at Once.
Although this Government has re-
ceived no official information regard
ing the alleged determination of the
French Government to invade the
Ruhr to enforce payment of her rep
arations claims. the opinion is ex-
pressed by American officials that no
steps toward such an invasion will be
taken aptil after the Paris conference
Attention was called by a high Ameri-
can official to-day to the fact that NJ
Poincare had carefully refrained al
the inconclusive London conference
from serving notice on Great Britain
of the immediate purpose OF France to
seize the Ruhr region. 81
Some officials of the French Govern
ment and one or two of the leading
Paris newspapers have declared that
French armies would be dispatched
immediately into the Ruhr unless Ger.
many complied with existing repara-
tons requirements. which German Of
hcials say it is not now possible to
fulfill. When NJ. Poincare left Lon
don, after failing to win the British
support for the Ruhr project. it was
not quite clear just what he intended
TO recommend.
The temper of the French officials
and newspapers since the present ac-
t,vities OF the American Government
became known has been much more
moderate than that reflected during
the London event, and il is believed
the status quo will be preserved so

The first accounts OF the proposal ip-
peared In the latest afternoon papers

sternation those who are living In Ger

rate. Even though the news was not
known the optimistic way in which Ger

widest fluctuation in the mark since

the President desired to avail himself

STOCK, MARKET

NEW YORK, Apr. 6.-Trading on the stock exchange today assumed the vast dimensions of the hectic days of the World War. Sales at extreme gains of 1 to points, aggregated 1,575,00O shares.
 Over 70 issues scored highest quo tati0ns of the year and in many in stances for two more years were et- tableshed. Virtually all classes of stocks were carreid forward by the movement, which probably compre. hended the largest number of separ- ate issues ever traded in at this cen ter,
 The same causes which gave mo mentum to the markets of the past few weeks were again the controlling factors, namely. cumulative signs of financial, industrial and commercial revival. These are most clearly eX- pressed by keen inquiry for new un- derwritings, domestice and foreign; steady expansion of iron and steel at higher prices, and marked gains shown by railroad earnings.
 Steels, motors, equipments and oils, more or less in the order named, were the conspicious features of the day, but rails, shippings, chemicals, leath- CTS, textiles, tobaccos and utilities helped to swell the enormous turn over.
 Selling for profits, such as inevita- ply accompanies such as a sweeping advance, made pronounced impress sion upon prices in the last hour, the realizing movement being attended by an advance in call money from 41s to 5 percent. United States Steel closed at a slight loss, and the other steels and related issues suffered correspon- dingly.
