Buildings Chief Interest

Board members said that the one
thing they were interested in was get
ting a building program which would
get some of the 5000 school children
attending schools in makeshift quar-
ters into decent. modern, f1reproof
buildings.
They pointed out that It now has
been more than two years since school
building operations were brought to
a halt by refusal Of the tax board to
approve a bond issue for four build
ings on remonstrance of ten members
Of the Taxpayers League Of Indiana.
Since that time the school popuIa-
ton has been increasing at the rate
of 1900 to 1900 a year. and it has
been necessary to add portables and
adopt other makeshift means Of car
ing for pupils. When school opens
next month there will be 100 buildings
of this character, housing about 100
classes.

TO the uninterrupted character of

Of rising prices, traders looked to their

Corn Products held around it's best
levels on the movement. Standard

from the continuance of the gasoline
zee war, are slightly over the price

Steel, Copper, and Oil Stocks
Go Forward in Early
Trading.
By CosmOpolltan News Service.

NEW YORK, March Further
strengthening Of the nations bank
ing position, evidenced by a slight
rise in the reserve ratio Of the Fed
eral reserve system to 1872 per cent
formed q basis for the continuation
Of the rise in the first two hours
Of trading on the stock exchange
today. The reserve ratio of the New
York bank rose 1.6 per cent to sos
per cent. This served to dispel any
feeling Of apprehension, which might
have been left, since the increase In
the rediscount rate, and added ma
terially to prevailing bullish enthu-
siasm.
The market today presented q
firm front, but did not indulge in
speculative excuses. which marked
yesterdays trading.
Steel stocks enjoyed Q consider
able advance, Crucible leading in a
rise Of points to S2A. Gulf States
Steel was also prominent advancing
more than e point to 93A. United
States Steel was rather inactive adj
vancing fractionally to 1O7A.
The equipment group was quiet,
but held recent advances very Wen.
The great strength OF copper at
IL cents, at which figure an I'M
abated demand still exists, was re-
flected in higher prices for all cop
per stocks. Anaconda at 63 reached
new high, American Smelling and
refining was buoyant. advancing q
point to 69h and other stocks in
this group were from . traction to
point higher.
Mack Motor was q stropg spot In
the motor group, rising about
point, to 76k. Stewart-Warner con-
tinued its upward move, reaching 9
new high, at 1O4, q gain OF z72
points, and Stromberg moved up
nearly points. to S51h. on reports
Of consolidation with the Stewart
Warner Company.
Pan-American Petroleum led oils,
rising about points. to S415; Cali
fornia Petroleum was pushed up "a
points to q new high OF %, ano
Phillips Petroleum was BID up z
points, to 62A.
Persistent strength in raw and
refined sugar, the latter selling al
9.15 cents q pound, a new high, i'm
parted firmness to leading sugar

tensive.-
