 The opening was lower under a great ac emulation over Sunday of buying orders in the hands of brokerage houses. Poor cables helped to weaken the market, and early losses amounted to .13 to i5 points, after which there a rally to levels 10 to 26 points higher than the close of Sat urday For a Considerable period it was quick succession of bulses and breaks. the market soon after the middle of the morning standing at it's best at net gains of 2e to 45 points.

 NERVOUS MARKET.
Federal Reserve Officials Do Not Contemplate Any Rad-

Fly WALTER B. BROWN tEditOr New York Commercially fnh Is

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 NEW YORK, March 26.---Timidity on the part of certain classes. of op orators was responsible fer more or less irregularity in today's stock market, which, however, gave a pretty good account of itself. Closing prices were at a decline for both in- dustrials and rails largely because of the fact that call money was mark ed up to 6 per cent in the late trading. The factor chiefly responsible for nervousness was the meeting Of the F governors of federal reserve banks in conference with the federal re- serve board in Washington tomorrow. It is the regular spring meeting and has not been called as a result of any crisis, present or impending. Un- doubtedly the state of business will be discussed. That is what the meet ing is for and is what will be dis cussed at the next meeting to be held in the fall. It is possible also that it may be decided tC' advance the re- discount rate. As a matter of fact. it ought to be advanced for it is now one-half of one per cent below the open market rate for money, which makes it possible for member banks to borrow money from the federal reserve, at the lower figure and lend it out at the higher figure. thus in- 'yiting credit expansion. Should Be Higher.
 Strictly speaking, the rediscount rate should be equal to or higher than the open market rate so that there can be no profit and preferably a penalty for rediscounting.
 An advance in the rate, however, Would be pretty sure to cause tenn porary decline in stocks. It would be interpreted as a desire on the part of the financial authorities to check speculation and the inference would be that prices already represent in- flatioB or they would not be checked. It would be a pretty good talking point for the bears, but 1t would wear Itself cut in due time when it should be found that the stock market still had money enough to do business with. There is plenty of credit avail able which is in itself an invitation eto imitation. but borrowed. money has to be paid back. no matter how plen- tiful the supply and the question is whether business can earn enough to pay the heavy interest charges and !, the profit besides. The, present dan ger, therefore. is not lack of credit but too much of it. It is because we are on the threshold of imitation that banking authorities are couneilins caution.

SHOWS GREAT NERVE
New York Man tndergOes Brain Op-
 eration Without Ether

NEW YORK, March 26-An opera tion for brain tumor. Curing which the patient. Henry A. Brown, 4D, of Newark N. J.. under local anesthesia only. discussed his feelings with doctors and nurses was described by the staff of Beth Israel hospital to- day. The operation was performed February 2l. The patient has re- covered sufficiently to return to his home. More than a year ago Browns right side became paralyzed. He com plained of severe headaches and sometimes was seized with epileptic fits Then his memory failed him and he fell into a semi i-stupor.
 Finally he was taken to Beth Isra el hospital for an operation. Because of his weakened condition, it was decided that he could not stand a general anaesthetic.
 During period of 1ucidity, Brown agreed to submit, under local an- esthesia to two-hour operation. He was told to tell the surgeons when ever he felt the anesthesia wearing off and was warned that an unex- pected movement on his part would mean his end.

FALL NV WHEAT ISI MARKET FEATURE;
 SUPPLY IS LARGER

CHICAGO, March 26.-With en larged receipts at primary terminals and an increase of the United States visible supply total, wheat today had a downward tendency in price, the May delivery in particular. The close was unsettled at the same as Satur- days finish to l 19sc lower. May $t.1S$s to $1.1Sla and July Sl.l4Ss 60 s1.14$4 Corn lost 14 e tsc, and oats ls to t4c. In provisions, the outcome was , to 10c advance.
 Selling which was led by houses with eastern connections began at the outset and resulted finally in carving wheat values down to tn. lowest level the May delivery has reached in several weeks. The new crop deliveries showed more strength although field reports as rule were Iearis... Much of the selling of May appeared to be liquidation.
 r Absence of any extensive French buying acted as handicap on the bull side as did q lack of the az gressive speculative demand which was recently something of feature.
 Corn and oats declined in sympa- thy with wheat, notwithstandlnB Il decrease in the. visible supply of both.
