Studebaker was the leader OF the
market. Pushing through its pre-
yious high OF 11sA, it quickly shot
across 40. Beyond the statement
that this move was due to buying
operations from the same quarters
that have been active in the stock
all along, there was nothing fresh
to be said. Chandler Motors went
along moderately in the wake of
Studebaker. Those in the best po-
sition to know were still emphasiz-
ing the size of the Chandler short
interest and were claiming that it
was on the increase.
ZINC STOCKS.
Zine stocks came in for more at
tention, following another jump in
the price OF metal this time above
5 cents a pound. The surplus sup
ply in this country has been drawn
so low that this fresh advance in
price is expected to bring in fur
Their buying from interests which
have not yet covered their require
ments. The statistical position of
Spelter is so strong that produc-
ton on a large scale seems closer
than 1t did even a week ago. Some
large blocks of Butte and Superior
we're taken before the stock got
through %. There was more doing
also in the low priced Butte Copper
and Zinc. In the case OF Callahan
there is a technical market reason
for the stock holding back-certain
selling orders which are no refiec-
ton whatever upon the condition
and prospects Of the company.

MIDDAY BUYING
SHOOTS STOCKS
SKYWARD AGAIN
ny STUART r. WEST.

wall street, New York, April IL.
There was no lessening today OF
mo confident spirit back of the Sc
rurfty dealings. The stock market
snr an hour or SO had quite q test
ri It's powers of absorption Realiz-
Ing sales during that period were
extremely heavy, and prices
seemed to waver but the hesitation
vas shortlived- Before midday a
fresh wave OF buying swept into the
leading Industrial stocks and the
market started upward again.
There was no connection between
the movement on the stock ex-
change and that in the other mar
kets. The foreign exchanges In
Yesterdays rise had evidently gone
as far as they cared to for the time
befug in expressing their hopeful
ness regarding the Genoa confer
euce. They settled down today as
II 10 await some positive develop
ments. The wheat market again
moved sympathetically with ex-
change rates. The fact that the
stock market struck out independ-
/. entity In another forward swing
simply went to show that however
much dealers in exchange and grain
may be figuring upon the results
OF Europe's great economic gather
Ing, it is a minor matter in the cal
culaticns of investors and traders
IN securities. Their essential con-
Germ is with trade conditions at
home and here the important news
OF tho day was an advance of a cent
a gallon in gasoline prices an
nounced by the Standard Oil COM
pany of New York.
1t remains to be seen whether
this advance in the New York dis
trict is the forerunner of general
raising of oil prices or whether it
is only a local adjustment. But
following the last weeks similar
Increase by the Standard Oil of In
diana it fitted in with predictions
which have been made for several
weeks that the seasonal increase in
the demand for gasoline will soon
wear down reserve supplies suffl-
GENTLY to bring about a higher
price level. The oil stocks were
quick to respond to the news, the
buying convergfHg more particular
sly upon Mexican Petroleum, Cali
fornia Petroleum and Pacific Oil,
but taking in also in one degree or
another the other members of the
oil group. For the other feature of
the day-the strength in motor and
: motor accessory shares-there was
no trade news to afford an explana-
ton. Whether or not speculative
Wall street is OVERRIDING matters in
this quarter of the market is open
( to question. But at the moment the
speculation in such stocks as Stude-
baker, Chandler and Stromberg has
not yet encountered any formidabl
resistance
The long neglected metal shares
were taken up late in the afternoon
and nearly all surpassed their pre-
vious highs this year.

RED CROSS GIVES
CERTIFICATES FOR
RELIEF PROVISION

Applications for food certificates
are being made at the Rock Island
Red Cross by local people who are
sending food to starving relatives
and friends. The blanks may be
had at the Red Cross at any time.
Bulletins received here tell that
Americas 100000 gift corn for
adults in the famine areas of Rus
STA is being distributed as far east
as Siberia at Zlatoust, a district
town in the government OF Ufa.
When the American relief admin
fstration concluded it's program for
feeding one free meal a day to the
hungry children OF Russia it did
not lose sight OF the fact that most
of the children were destitute and
without clothes, and that they could
not come to the kitchens unless
they had sufficient warm clothing
to enable them to endure the Sc
we're cold.
AS a result, the American relief
association Immediately worked
out a program, the cost of which
was s940, 900. and each needy child
was provided with one wooden suit
or dress, an oyercoat, one pair of
heavy scout type shoes. and two
pairs Of winter weight stockings.
The materials which entered into
The manufacture OF the garments
were purchased in America, and
they were made up in the local fac-
tories of Russia

ON CRIME WAVE
IN COOK COUNTY
Citizens Lose Respect
for Courts, Cham
berlaira Says.

Chicago, April 11.-Lawyers are
one of the most important factors
IN the suppression of crime, Henry
barret Chamberlain, operating di-
rector of the Chicago Crime Com
mission, asserted in an address to-
DAY at the second session of the
commission on law enforcement of
the American Bar association. He
dealt principally with conditions in
Chicago.
Citizens are losing their respect
ior the courts" he said. "This is
because they hold the bench and
OAR responsible for the abuses
which they believe it is their duty
to correct. In Chicago they know
that last year less than one out of
Tour defendants tried for murder in
Cook county was convicted and of
the b,f2S defendants actually tried
IN the criminal court for felony
only 1874 paid any penalty. They
KNOW that out of that number only
1914 received penitentiary or re-
iormatory sentences.

same period CPS defendants, after
being found guilty, were placed on
probation. They know that during
the same period 21S prisoners were
released from Joliet on parole and
that lao were released on parole
from Pontiac. All that they con-
slder is the net result, which shows
mat 757 convicted of crime were
sent to Joliet and Pontiac during
the same period that 993 obtained
thelr freedom in Cook county by
ether probation or parole.
In other words the operations
OF Chicago's legal machinery, con-
loIled by the bench and bar, placed
on the streets of Chicago 236 more
criminals than the same machinery
sent TO prison last year. knowledge
or this fact brings djsmay to re-
sponsible citizens and rejoicing to
the hearts of the crooks"
MIR. Chamberlain declared that
part Of the trouble is the namby-
panby, sickening sentimentality for
outlaws convicted of crime"

it has been in the last few weeks,

little improvement Prices were

Boston, April 1.-THE influx of
new woods from the southwest is
having a slightly improving effect
on the volume of trading in this
market. Some of this trading is
reported to be of a speculative
character. Manufacturers still are
wary Of bidding for large commit
ments in the present state of the
drygoods trade. Old stocks of wool
are well cleaned up. But about
10000 pounds of the Illinois 1921
pool remains unsold. Utah growers
are reported still holding firm for
higher prices. Wisconsin, Missouri
and average New England woods
are quoted around 36@37c for half
