If you will take note Of the daily turn
over in the stock market you will come to
the conclusion that the public takes
kindly to it, and, while it is true that
many of the stocks are dependent for
support on interests that are identified
with the particular issues. nevertheless it
is apparent that the public is participant
ing on n constantly increasing scale.
1t will be advisable from time to time
to take note of the extent of the public's
interest in the market but al the present
time there is nothing to suggest that this
account has assumed burdensome proper
tiOns and II VIII no doubt interest you to
consider the estimate by a local news
agency in recent increase in brokers Dor
rowings.
They estimate this amount at this time
at S750000.000 which compared with $500,
100000, the low point reached during the
liquidating period of last year and which
compares with S1,750, G00000, the high
point reached in July, 1919
If this estimate is substantially correct
then the market is still in a sound tech
nical position. The only difference is
that we are at a higher level of values.
In today's trading there was again
large number of issues in the active list,
but most significance should be attached
to the renewed demand for steel and tor
the copper shares.
These being basis and regarded as
barometers of general conditions. it fol-
lows naturally that activity in these
groups lends tone to the market and adds
TO the cintidence in the stability Of values.
We continue TO look upon the market
with favor and regard the trend as still
definitely upward.

IN
OLD MEXICO is
LOSING POWER
Government Strengthened by
Reaction Against
Radicals.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-BolsheyIsm
in Mexico has undergone an eclipse, ac-
cording to reports today from Mexico
City, which are based on Information
concerning conditions in practically ev-
esy section OF the country.
Officials assert that the reaction against
radical7m which set in Immediately fol-
lowing the riots Of last summer in Mo-
relia, Michoacan, when several women
were killed during an attack upon a re-
ligious procession, has extended over
practically the whole Of Mexico, making
itself felt even among the anti-clericals.
Earlier tendencies Of some members
Of ObregOn's cabinet. notably Gales,
minister Of government and De In HUI
erta, minister Of the treasury, are re-
ported to have been noticeabiy modified,
with the result that radical leaders no
longer pin their hopes of support upon
the Obregon administration and are be-
coming more and more discouraged by
the apparent lack of support from Rus
sia.
The defeat by Argentine authorities Of
the communistic activities among the
workmen of the port Of Buenos Aires
and other shipping centers IS believed
to have had n marked effect upon the
spirit of those agents Of Soviet Russia
who had been stationed in Mexican sea-
ports with the object of Undertaking
the native workers with the tenets of
communism. Even in the TampicO dis
trict, where uncertainty concerning oil
legislation has led to considerable I'M
employment, the radical propaganda Is
said to have failed sigually.
Anticipated disorders in lower Cali
fOrnia in connection with the Inaugural
tion Of General Lugo, the new Governor,
failed to materialize, and the Obregon
executive is launching upon i scheme for
the reclamation of arid lands and the
colonization of unemployed from other
sections of Mexico, which apparently is
winning the hearty support OF the popu-
latiou. An official report from San Pedro
de las Colonas, State of Coahuila, de-
clares that Bolshevism has practically
disappeared throughout the so-calied La
guna district, which is the great cotton
growing section of Mexico. Credit is
given to Col. Jose Cardnes, chief of the
state rural forces, for the breaking up
of the ffty-six labor syndicates which
for two years have dominated the re-
gion.
1t is now announced. however. that
General ScrranO, the new minister Of
war. win make a tour of inspection
through Yucatan. In some quarters this
is believed to foreshadow a new policy
on the part of Oregon with respect
to the Yucatan radicals.

Wheat-Not only have Liverpool and
BuenOs Aires prices been higher, but the
general tenor of cables is more healthy.

are inquiring for all of the grains, central
Europe is purchasing quite freely of Ar
gentine wheat. now on passage. and or
United States new crop wheat Tor july
August shipment. Cash wheat in all do
nestle markets is improving its posi-
ton, receipts are dwindling and pre-
miumS for the small arrivals are hrmer.
Seeding OF spring wheat will commence
shortly, provided weather remains favor
able; western Kansas sent a report or
dust storms, otherwise tire crop news was
favorable. From time to time it has
been mentioned that if any merit in the
underlying situation. then the first run
of new wheat would be in general de-
mand. consequently, the July and Septem-
Der deliveries ought to be more attrac-
tive to the investor than the May. This
feeling is becoming general, the July
delivery being favored with a much bet
ter demand than heretofore. We still
feel that the volume of foreign business
will determine ultimate course of prices,
but the market has reached the polnG
where a complete shutting off of all
foreign demand must appear II prices
are to react Importantly.
Corn and Oats-Receipts of corn are
still smaller being not more than suf-
fcient for industrial uses. As conse-
quence. the basis of bids was a full half<
cent higher This market is responding
to the action of wheat and is also under
the influence of the likelihood of ex-
tremely small receipts until after spring
work is finished. which condition will
necessitate a reduction of the visible
supply. The feeding worth. as repre-
scented by the price of livestock, is again
factor in shaping prices. There is,
also, an idea in some quarters that the
acreage of the new crop will be con-
siderably smaller than recently. Some
export business is doing in Canadian
own supplies.
Provisions-Rather free receipts of
hogs a Western points and lower prices
here were ineffective in opposition to the
strength in grains. There was demand
for the entire list from previous sellers
which uncovered noticeable absence Of
offers.

free market in gold. Bankers suggest
that while this may open a way for ex-
ports of the precious metal to Mexico,
Japan and other countries, its effect in
stimulating foreign trade must be rer

SWINE Is TO Is
CENTS LOWER
More Life Displayed in Trade
on Cattle Market.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Swine prices continued their down
ward trend in trade on the local live
stock market today, being 15@25c lower
Receipts for the day ran close to 1900
fresh hogs and 1000 held over from the
market of the previous day. Demands
by both shippers and packers were slow
and at a late hour in the forenoon it
looked as though there was going to be
another big holdover.
Light swine brought $1040A 1850, with
$1,000 the top. Mixed and mediums sold
at $10.15@10.35 and heavies at $9.85@
1910. Pigs brought 1915 and down
and roughs SS25 and down, while stays
we're quoted at $4.50@550.
The bulk of the sales during the fore
noon hours ranged at 1015010.40.
Cattle values were steady generally,
with receipts around 800 for the day,
the quality fair to good and packers
displaying somewhat better demands than
were shown on the market of the day
before.
Trade, however, that was not as active
as might be looked for and about all
that could be looked for was a cleanup
of the fresh receipts.
With receipts close to 1000, the larg-
est in many weeks, veal prices were 81
lower generally, with spots that were
close to $3.50 lower. Weakness due to
large receipts was aided by lower prices
on eastern markets.
Despite the lower prices, however, there
was a good demand for all grades Of
veals by slippers and but few calves re-
manned uisold at a late hour in the
forenoon trade.
The practical top for the day was 81.
while the bulk of the good to choice
yeals sold a $9.5061O.50.
Sheep and lambs receipts totaled $50,
and, with the quality fair and the de-
mand good, prices were steady to strong.
