NEW YORK. Feb. 81. Stock

The market developed a firm I'm.
dertone during the morning although
a renewal OF bear pressure against
some of the pivotal industrials tenn
porarily forced them below their in
itial quotations. Special strength
again was shown by the automotive
issues which apparently are discount
irg the usual heavy spring demand
for motor cars. Jordan and Gardner
motors each advanced more than a
point above yesterdays final fig
ures. Famous players touched a rec
ord top at 1917. Laclede Gas jumped
s points to 1851. and substantial
gains also were registered by Savage
Arms. Certainteed Products, Column
bia Gas and Loose Wiles Biscuit.
The higher re discount rate appar-
emily was construed as a bullish fac
tor on theory that it reflected an in
creased demand for funds which. in
turn Indicated business expansion.
Call money again renewed at AZ per
cent.
The movement of prices became
decidedly irregular in the early af-
ternoon. Increased selling occurred
in the equipments, American Can,
U. S. Cast Iron Pipe. United Cigar
Stores and Mack Truck, but It had
no effect in checking a further vigor-
Gus advance in numerous other
shares. Public utilities were heavily
bought, also Jordan Motors and
Remington Typewriter. Quite a
number of %specialties were up from
? to S points.
The closing was heavy. The Max
well Motor issues attained new peak
prices in the late trading but the
general list continued downward on
selling inspired by the increase in
the call money rate TO 5 per cent.

audience of several Thousand persons.

proves by this marvellous orga MIA ton
that II IL not just another large in

a producer of art that is excellent in
quality and workmanship. The names

Euch number on the program was
chosen as gem in the rich field of
religious music. MendelSsohn, Grieg,
Schumaun and DVorak We're among
the names of great musicians repre-
scented by works given. All selections
were sung in clear, distinct English.
The real marvels of the performance
lay in the precise. round attack; ac-
curacy of intonation, unison of EN-
phasiS and pronunciation. and breath

real loss OF individuality. Gianninis
voice, however, is there fuller and
more restrained in beauty than pre-
viously. 1t is still, however, in the
songs of Latin qualities that Giannini
is most successful. Her opening
group had as a unique feature Para
