NG|SSTRONG;;
SPEC|ALT|ESLEAD

NEW YORK, March 11.-Stocks
moved forward again today, after
early hesitation, occasioned by heavi-
ness of local utilities. Motors and
related specialties. notably the rub
ber group. were most active at l to 5
point gains. Equipments, independ-
ent steels and coppers also made ex-
treme advances of 1 to almost 5
points. American Telephone was
among the representative issues
which made new high price for the
current movement. Oils were COM
paratively dull and there was little
demand for high-grade rails, but that
group was firm to strong. 500" was
the only exception. reacting over one
point to adverse dividend action.
The closing was strong. Sales ap-
proximated 100000 shares.
Foreign Bank Rate Feature.
The chief event in the financial
market today was the lowering of
the French bank rate to per cent, as
compared to sig, where it has stood
since the close of last July. Not since
the first month of'the war has the
present declension is almost back to
the peacetime condition represented
by the ~ per cent discount of July,
1914. The action of the French au-
thorities. to be sure. was no surprise
1t had been expected right along ever
since the latest reduction in the Bank
of England rate. Nevertheless, it sets
the seal of Frances official sanction
upon the banking judgment of the
United States and England that finan-
cial conditions are on the mend.
Strong and Active.
1t was another very strong and ac-
tive stock market and big day also
in bonds. The one exception was the
New York city traction group, which
was naturally pretty much upset by
the threat of the Interborough Rapid
Transit that If it could not get rid Of
the Manhattan elevated guarantee it
would seek relief in receivership.
Operations for the rise were con-
Quoted more vigorously than on any
other previous day of the week. They
took in a larger number of issues.
among them stocks like the coppers
and the American oils, which hereto
fore had not been prominent.
The same Indifference to unfavor-
able industrial reports for 1921 was
shown. The market laid stress upon
the optimistic description of trade
conditions set forth in the week end
reviews of the mercantile agencies.
Sterling exchange got down almost
to its low of the week. The wheat
market opened lower. but again met
the same determined support that had
appeared yesterday.

above sale. in view of the following

1t is my understanding that where

attempting to put belt on a pulley
with his hand. got the arm sucked
into the swiftly revolving belt and
pulley and was flung over the pulley
and onto the floor with great force
on his head striking about one ear
and temple. He never recovered
consciousness. Was hurried to MO
bile and an X-Ray taken OF his head
and it discovered that he had hem
orrhage on the brain. Abonl this
time the young man died. He was
son OF John (Allen) Mcleod of e.
dith community, Greene County.

account hasit that through some mis-
understanding of the situation the
foreman of the mill signailed to put
on speed just about time young Nc
Leod was in act OF putting the belt
on, which if that be true, is one OF
those unfortunate cases, where a
man gets hurt through no particular
fault of anyone but from cOmblna-
ton OF circumstances winch at the

possible for Mr.. Collins. feel that
he is ABSOLUTELY the nan for the
place. | have watched his career in
the State Legislature with a great
deal of satisfaction and appreciation
and il will be pleasure to me to
support HIM ia the present race.
He would make an ideal Congress-
man. and in this dav and time when
men like him are so much needed 10
public life. | would consider it al.
most a crime not to vote for him
In other words, if there ever was a
time when the people need a repre-
sentative 10 Congress it is now,
mean, the Common People.
| predict that if jeff Collins is
elected he will be kept in Congress
as long as he wants to stay.
Aside from his paramount ability,
he is a man of perfectly Clean life
and Character, and no man dare say
to the contrary. II is true that
what we call the interests are doing
all they can to defeat him, because
as was demonstrated in the last Leg
islature, he is thorn in the fesh"
to these interests. | often wonder
what would have become of the
State had 1t not been for JEFF Collins
in that Legislature. Whatever my
services are worth they are at his
command In this race.
