WEEKS CURB TRADING
LED BY OIL SHARES
! By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 24.-The
market showed a strong tone during
the greater part Of the week and was
not specially Influenced by the action
of the Federal Reserve Bank or the
higher rates for money. Pronounced
strength was shown in a number Of
issues IN the first few days. when
several stocks moved up to new high
records.
Standard Oil issues maintained the
most prominent place all through the
week, but some Of those issues re-
acted from their highest levels.
vacuum Oil, which made a gain OF
nearly points crossing 55, was di-
rectly influenced by predictions Of an
increased dividend in April. Stand
ard Oil of Kansas was bought on a
large scale, ranging from 49 to 81,
ana kentucky rose from 1o4h to no.
There was also accumulation of New
York, which made a gain Of over !.
points.
Prairie Oil swung over a vida
range, first advancing 10 points to
213 and after reacting to 262 recoy-
cred part of it's loss. Galena SIGNAL
Oil was one of the strongest features
ranging from 68a to IS. Imperial
Oil moved up from 117Ls to 123.
Industrial issues were irregular
Gillette Safety Razor was the sfrono
feature in that group, ADVANCING

last-named cities, therefore, on its
race, would seem to be made for the
purpose of eQualiZing the rates with
those charged elsewhere. Such ap-
reason, the writer is advised, was to
put the soft pedal on stock manipula-
tion. A rise in the rediscount rates
of one-half of / per cent increases
reserve banks, on the volume of pres
ent business, more than $6.000.000 a
year.
The general business situation, the
council found, was such that a. big
bull movement on the New York
Stock Exchange, if unchecked, would
tend to initiate values in three or four
industries already tending rapidly
toward much higher price levels. A
sensa tlonal rise in stocks, it was
IRON and steel, cotton, lumber and
other commodity prices, which al
ready have reached figures regarded
as unusually high.
Normal Advance Permitted.
However, the council processes to
avoid seeking to control the majo
price movements in stocks except to
CARDS as reasonable and without
danger to the entire fabric of com
imerce and industry. 1t claims to
have no desire to prevent stocks from
going up in healthy, normal fashion
justified by tho conditions of the
country's trade. Apparently it has
every intention of discouraging GEN
sational advances, and If the interest
rate advance of this week fails to
check the threatened spectacular
rise, the board. acting on the council s.
feeling, is prepared to send interest
rates a notch higher and to repAat
the process, as it did in May, 1920,
until borrowing for speculation be-
comes not only unpopular but un-
profitable.

DEMAND FOR STEEL
CONTINUES HEAVY
Copper Makes New Ad-
vances During Week-Tin.
Lead and Zinc Strong.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February a4.-The
steel market continued to gain strength
throughout the week, and prices ex-
perienced irregular advances. The de-
mand was very active, especially for
sheets. and as production was Still
hampered by labor and transportation
conditions some producers were not in
clined to book orders ahead. Pig iron
was also strong. While buyers hesi-
tated about placing large orders, there
was an active demand in small way
which in the aggregate made a very
substantial showing.
Copper made further advances and
was strong. but export demand has
slackened somewhat following receni
sales. and foreign markets have shown
signs of hesitation. On the other hand
domestic buyers have bought steadily a.
rising prices, and some producers asked
16A for electrolytic delivered at the
end of the week. Scarcity of labor al
the mines is an important factor in tn,
light production.
Tin firm and higher, in sympathy
with strength abroad. but buyers ap-
pear unwilling to follow further ad-
vances.
Lead was steady, with less new busi-
ness in evidence, but a good movement
on old contracts which has kept pro
ducers busy.
Zinc made further advances, and a
more active export demand was noted
While antimony, like other markets,
was firmly held and not offered freely

TRADE CONDITIONS
CONTINUE ACTIVE
Department of Commerce
Reports Highest Cotton
Consumption in History.

Figures received by the Department
Of Commerce during the week ended
February 10. continue to show very
large productive activity.
Cotton consumption amounted to
610,375 bales, the third largest in our
history. The production of zinc was
the highest since March, 1920, and the
output Of bituminous coal the highest,
with one exception, since December.
1920. Continued activity in building
construction is indicated by the new
high records in untitled orders and
the high seasonal movement Of build
ing contracts, lumber production, ce-
ment output and sales OF structural
steel. The demand for buildings and
for railroad equipment continues
strong, and has given an impetus for
the industries supplying the material
for these needs.
The large car loadings and season
ally high retail sales. as well as the
general depletion Of manufacturers
stocks. indicate that the goods pro
duced are quickly passing into con-
sumption. Wholesale prices have con,
tinued to rise during February. and
retail food prices also have risen.
Business failures have declined con-
siderably, and those of the week
ended February 19 were the smallest
since the end of October. Prices or

Don't Let That Cold
 Turn Into ''Flu"
Rub on Good old MusteroIe

That cold may turn into Flu" Grippe or. even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con- Rested parts and see how quickly 1t brings relief.
 Colds are merely congestion, Mus terole, made from pure oil of mus tard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is counter-irri- tant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mus tard plaster, does the work with out blister.
 Just rub it on with your finger tips. You will feel a warm jingle as it enters the pores, then cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.

Firpo Is Again Hero

LA PAz. Bolivia, Nov. 14.--The same temperamental mob that howled for the life of Luis Angelo Firpo on his arrival here, cheered him wildly a few hours later and howled for the lives of the fight promoters whom he blamed for his difficulties.
 Thus Firpo again is hero to Bo- livians and the apparent slight to their national pride has been ex- plained away. e
 Firpo refused to go on with his boxing show because of the outcry against him and was haled into court, where he gave bond in a suit for damages. Then he addressed the crowd saying he loved Bolivians and wouldn't think of insulting them. The infamous promoters" he said, were the ones who started the re- port that he had been discourteous to Bolivia. At that the crowd shout ed kill the promoters and ran away to find them.
