NEW YORK, March 11-Trading in
stocks again disclosed a good deal of
bullish activity, and, although some of
the recent favorites figured prominently
in the transactions, there was ten
dency to shift to new quarters of the
market for fresh features Of speculative
interest. In some respects, these methods
SAVIOR somewhat OF straining point, par
ticularly In the efforts to bid up certain
issues among the low priced rails, quite
number Of which have been rrac-
tically mOribund for some time. Several
of them came to the front with quite a
rush The Western Maryland issues
were bid up sharply. Wisconsin Central
advanced over two points, there was
heavy trading in Wheeling & Lake
Erie, common and preferred, while the
common stock Of Gulf, Mobile & North
ern advanced ~, and the preferred was
up more than two points. Other strong
features among the medium and low
priced rails were Chesapeake g. Ohio,
Colorado & Southern and Chicago &
Eastern Illinois.
Among the industrials the motors, rub
Der and tire stocks and oils were well
bought. International Paper recovered
high level Columbia Gas and Electric
was one Of the striking features among
the public utilities.
Studebaker went through its previous
high level for the year owing to the IA
vorable character Of the annual report
for 1921 which showed the common divi-
dend more than twice earned, while state
ments regarding the outlook indicated
further substantial prosperity In store.
The report Of the United Steel Corpora
tom on unified tonnage showed a de-
crease in orders slightly in excess OF
1OO0O0 tons. This was not altogether IN
expected in view Of the increased opera
TOMS of the corporation in the last month.
Nevert heless, 1t is a subject for comment
that the total Of untitled orders amount
ing to 4,141, COG tons is the smallest since
1914
The weekly statement Of the Federal
Reserve system shows a rise of slightly
more than 1 per cent in the reserve ratio
to the basis Of IT'S per cent. resulting
chiefly from a gain of $14500,000 in gold
holdings and a heavy reduction in de-
post iabilities.-COpyright, 1922, by the

March IL

Wheat-The entire grain world, for
eign markets included, has displayed the
customary Saturday INACTIVITY and a
dragging tendency. Nothing whatever
large sales reported yesterday seem not
to have been confirmed. The Govern
ment's estimate of country elevator and
mill stocks Is some 100000 bushels
less than last year. This estimate, 10
gether with that ON the farm reserves,
OF 24S, 100000 bushels to cover home son
sumption and export business between
March /. and July 1. and provide a car
ry-over into the new crop. These fig
ures as they stand do not spell lower
prices, but it must be remembered that
there are two estimates and one known
factor in arriving at the total Jisible
supply. 1t must also be remembered
that statistics in themselves alone are
an unsafe guide to prices. With plenty
Of old wheat here at home to cover our
own needs until the new crop, it win
probably develop that the course Of prices
will be determined by the action of for
eign markets and weather conditions
as related to our growing crops.
Corn and Oats-Not only are receipts
Of corn decreasing materially, but con-
stgnment are falling off and country Of
ferings are noticeably light. The mar
ket gains its strength from this con-
ditiOn and seems fit, at the moment to
ignore the size Of the visible supply, Oats
have no individuality for the reason that
there Is practically negligible demand
for visible supply accumulations Both
of these markets are likely to take their
color from wheat.
Provisions-stockyards interests were
sellers OF provisions in anticipation Of
increased receipts OF hogs next week. The
offerings were taken by a demand from
eastern sources.

FIGHT PLANNED
ON LANDLORDS
WHOPLAY HOG
Kansas City Plans Crusade to
Wallop Jesse James
Club.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March IL
Grating landlords and ''hold-up" real
estate concerns may well take a lesson
on what is happening In this city in
the building situation.
They might learn with interest-not
the kind they usually think of-that 10
per cent down is proper sum to buy
home.
One per cent a month is enough to pay
for It,
To the prospective home owner this
sounds like a castles in the air. yarn.
On the contrary, however, these are prac
teal figures and hard facts arrived at by
Kansas City contractors. real estate men
an dofficials Of trust and loan associa-
tions in movement to encourage home
building this spring.
In other words the individual vino
wants a 5000 home can move righr In
II If he can make an initial payment of
$500 to the contractor. He can pay FOR 1t
by handing over $50 a month and
chuckle to think that the landlord is not
getting It,.
More payments Of rent money will not
build a home, local builders agreed, but
the impetus of the first payment OF 10
per cent is the key note Of the whole
financial scheme.
If the construction company Is obliged
TO purchase a lot for the prospective
builder, the first payment should be as
must as 80 per cent in some cases.
If the client will accept a lot con
trolIed by the realty company with
whom he is doing business, or if he has
a lot of his own, he can get action on
home of his own by paying down 10
per cent The contractor can take the 10
per cent of the total cost of the home
and can get loan association to stand
behind the deal and proceed with his
building.
Home building should be reduced to
as practical a science as banking or in
surance, leading contractors and real es-
tate agents stated. Ten per cent down
and 1 per cent month Is a perfectly
safe margin, fair to builder and buyer
alike, was the consensus Of expert opin
ion here.
As result Kansas City Will witness
a remarkable increase in building oper-
ations this year. Thousands of new
homes will be built this spring and
summer.

Stock Market ReUieU

dence Of the stock markets remarkable
vitality was furnished during today's
short session.
Profit taking in some railroad stocks
was steadily absorbed and even while
this realizing was in progress, special
strength was displayed Ly a number of
low-priced industrials.
Lee Tire and Rubber, United States Cast
Iron Pipe and Cosden Oil were among
these.
an extraordinary display of buyonacy.
Standard stocks like American Tele-
Phone and Telegraph, Baldwin LocomO-
tive. United States Rubber and Stude-
baker sold at the best level since the re-
covery from the depression caused by the
war began.
Prices throughout the general list
strengthened, and at the close the turn
was Enthusiastically upward.

MORE USEMADE
OF BOOKS, SAYS
CITY LIBRARIAN
Daily Average Circulation of
972 Copies Highest at
Library.

That Public Library patrons, both ju-
venile and adult, are making more and
more constant use Of the books Of the
Indianapolis Public Library is evil
denced by the report of Charles E. Rush,
city librarian, for the month of Febru-
airy. The adult circulation of books In
the circulation department of Central Ii
brary averaged 972 books daily, the high
est daily average in the history of the
library. Nine days show circulation OF
over / goo books.
In the children's room at Central LII
rary the daily average was $40. with q
total of 1921 books lent during the
month for home reading. This is an in
crease Of Liza books over February Of
last year and an increase of 1917 over No
Yember, 1921. which had been the banner
month heretofore.
With both juvenile and adult readers
the books most in demand were fiction,
In the case of the Children's Room at
Central Library, however, only % per
cent Of the books read were fiction. The
next most popular books among the
children were legends and fairy tales
while the adults demanded literature,
poetry and drama. With the children
science came third while with the grown
ups it was a bad ninth, although books
of technology or applied science also
came third with adults. With both chill
dren and adults travel and biography
proved popular subjects.
A general increase in circulation was
manifest in practically all the other de-
partments of the library. In the branches
IT amounted to 90 per cent and eight
branches maintained a daily average of
23O books circulated, while two East
washington street and Madison avenue
branches, had daily averages exceeding
300. East washington street branch was
the winner of first place among the
branches with Madison avenue "a close
second. Illinois, Spades Park and West
indianapolis branches followed IN the
order named, all Of them having circu-
lation of over 5000.
