LEAD FIRM
MARKET
Both High and Low Priced
Rails Move Forward in
Early Trading.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, Feb. 20-Confidence
In the soundness of business condi-
lions helped maintain a firm tone
during the first two hours on the
stock exchange today. Trading was
somewhat reduced, professional OPP
orators being inclined to give the
market a rest. They argued, that
many stocks had for the time being,
measured sufficiently the big i'm
provements, present, and expected,
in their companies earnings. Most
transactions were in the coppers
and rails:
The rise Of sterling exchange TO
$4.70M, "a new high record since
the British treasury removed the
"peg" in 1919, was a constructive
development.
Both. high and low priced railway
stocks moved forward in good
style, many of them duplicating or
topping the high prices for this
year. New York Central at SO and
Southern Pacific at 94% were
strong features. Baltimore and
Ohio advanced nearly 2 points to
5315. New Haven jumped point
in response to the favorable New
England rate decision. Rock
Island at 371k; Southern Railway
at 33H and St. Louis and San
Francisco at 26A, were about a
point higher.
Copper. stocks reflected the ex-
cellent statistical position Of the
yellow metal and it's further rise
today to 1915 cents. Moderate
gains were registered by Anaconda
at Sis, CRANKY at 80; Kennecott
at 43A and American Smelling
and Refining at 65K.
Steel and equipment stocks at
tracted but little attention. United
States Steel was fracionally lower
a 1075s and Baldwin improved
slightly to 1891.
Motor and tire stocks were largely
inactive, although Studebaker was in
good demand, advancing point, 10
1907. Stromberg Carburetor aug
mented its 8-point gain Of yesterday
by another rise OF ~ points, and
American Bosch Magnetic advanced
about points. to 44ss.
Oil stocks continued firm, due to
further advances in gasoline prices
by various Standard Oil companies.
Standard Oil of New Jersey and
Standard OH of California both i'm
proved about a point, to AZ and 81,
respectively.
American Wool was prominent
among the textiles, rising to a new
high of 1037s.
Speciality stocks were rather in
active, excepting Public Service of
New Jersey, which was well bought
at 103, 1-point gain.
United Fruit rose 2 points, to ITS,
and Eastman Kodak, after an initial
decline of a half point, to LOT, ad-
vanced 2 points, to 109.
Money renewed one-fourth Of per
cent lower at AZ per cent.
The market was dull but steady
at noon.

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. - Grains
opened with little change today
from the previous close, but did
not look very strong at the start.
At Liverpool wheat opened u @Ad
higher, but it sold off rather
sharply, and at 2 o'clock was I'd
below the previous close. First
prices here We're:
Wheat-May, $1.2O@1.20H; July,
$1.15%; September, $1.14.
Corn-May, 75A @7515c: July,
1850; September, TIN @771sc.
Oats-May. 46% @461sc; July,
45ssc; September, 1850.
Rye-May, 87h @87%c.
A mixed trade marked the wheat
opening. After the start there was
buying by strong commission houses
which was supplied by locals. In
corn commission houses were TAX
ing the offerings. Selling was scat
tered. Offerings in oats were linn
tied.
The visible wheat supply is re-
ported, continuing to increase, and
southwest receipts are charging.
With the new crop only four
months away it's influence Is ex-
pected to be felt unless the exist
ing statistical position undergoes a
marked change. The North Ameri-
can visible supply Of 10000, 900
bushels is held too large a load to
be carried indefinitely on the hope
of an improved export outlet.

President Harding today took Of

the boil weevfI by recommending
in a letter to Dr. Miller Reese
Hutchinson, at Atlanta Ca, that
the Southern States join together
under a treaty with the object Of
adopting heroic methods to ex-

The treaty suggested by the
President would be similar to that
adopted by a. number of Western
States to further the development
of the Colorado river basin. The
President in his letter pledged all
the technical and scientific organ
ization of the Government to aid
in the crusade against the boil
Weevil.
Various drastic programs have
been suggested for dealing with this
situation the President writes,
none Of which could be made eff
fective without cooperation through
out the cottOn-growing sections. /

possibility OF an interstate treaty,
among the cotton States, along the
general lines Of the treaty or con

ut is not needfui to assure yc

FIXING
Indiana Company Asks Chance
to Refute Blacks Charges
at Senate Hearing.

Categorical denial of charges Of
price fixing and Illegal manipula-
ton of the stock market was made
by the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana in a letter to the Senate
Oil Investigating Committee today.
The company asked to have the
oil hearings reopened so formal rep
udiation of charges by Thomas s.
Black, president of the Western
Petroleum Company could be made.
"The charges made by Black are
so flagrantly untrue that the Stand
ard Oil Company Of Indiana cannot
permit them to stand on the record
unchallenged," declared the letter.
Black had testified before the
committee that the Standard con-
Germ not only arbitrarily fixed
prices, but that certain officers had
given out information regarding
changes in the market, prior to
the changes going into effect, thus
enabling allied companies to buy
large quantities Of oil at the lower
price and make exorbitant profits
almost over night.

NEW YORK. Feb. 20-The steady
advance in the market prices or a
group of convertible bonds is in
line today with the upward move
ment of the stocks into which they
may be converted. The most active
bonds in this class at present are to
be found in the copper, steel and
sugar groups and their market ac-
ton, in comparison with that OF
the prime investment bonds of the
other groups, is nothing short OF
phenomenal. When an 8 per cent
bond is bid upward at the rate of
2 or points a day to a price IN
excess Of lao, as in the case Of the
Cerro de Pasco convertible 8 per
cents, it is safe to conclude that
other factors than that of invest
ment yield are stimulating the adj
vance.
Holders of the defaulted 8 per

the Chicago and Alton railway will
be glad to know that the bond
holders protective committee, has

ment for interest overdue. The CO.
operation of bondholders is neces-
sary and they are respectfully
advised to merge their interests
with those who are working for
their common good.
New financing by the Inland
Steel Company will involve the is
suance of from $10,O00,000 to $780,
600, 900 in new securities, a part Of
which will take the form Of pre-
ferred stock, and part new convert
ible bonds. This company has
abandoned the idea of merging with
any other concern, and will en-
large its capacity by about Is per

The natives Of the Marshall islanda
10 years ago, before the advent Of
the missionaries, were typical savages
Of the South seas. They Lived a nat

clothes. and eating only what nature
provided for them-coconut and the
pandanus fruit. They had no houses.
They lived under thatched roofs. sup
ported at the four corners by poles.
Today the natives wear white linen
suits. The stiff white collar seems
to make their faces blacker than they
really are, and to bring out the de-
signs Of the tattoo marks more clear
~. They have schools and hospitals,
which were started by those brave
missionaries Of half century ago.
Their chief Is particularly modern.
He lives in house. and since Japan
has taken possession he has a wire

Lizard Lives on His Tall.

Beaded lizards are seldom seen BY

Of evening brings them forth. During

frogs. worms, centipedes, ants and
other insects, as well as the eggs OF
frogs, birds and other lizards. In gooS
times the extra nourishment II stored

scarce this fat can be absorbed and
