GENERAL TREND IS
UPWARD IN STOCKS
Steel, Oil and Some of Spe-
ciaIitieS Go Against Ad-
vancing Values.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 25.-The
principal moves in the stock market
today were on the side of advance.
There were numerous exceptions,
notably among the steels, oils and the
variety of specialties 1t was in the
last-named group, however, where
most of the individual advances oc-
Cured
Trading was quieter, railway equip
ment shares, a few of the low-priced
rails and stocks in which pool sup
port was evidently still factor, did
particularly well. In speculative
quarters there was a disposition to
take some profits in anticipation OF
q possible increase in the discount
rate by the New York bank. This
fear has been expressed each week as
Stock Exchange demands have grown
and prices have gone higher.
Trade News Confusing.
The weekly steel trade reports were
rather confusing, but on the whole
they were not regarded as bullish.
Steel common was heavily sold below
124 as the afternoon went on. Bethle-
hem Steel was distinctly heavy, and
shares of other independent COM
panies were uncertain, Republic Iron
better than the rest.
The rise in American Car and
Foundry around record high figures
was scarcely due to the letter of
the president to shareholders, ex-
planning the doubling of the common
share capital. This certainly gave
a strong impression that present div
idends were safe Indefinitely, but it
did not hold out the promise of any
increase. American Locomotive was
bid up again, but Baldwin was not
drawn along the way it had been on
the previous day.
Talk of Stosk Dividends.
For some time there has been talk
of a stock dividend on Western Pa
cific, but this has concerned the pre-
ferred rather than the common. The
preferred ran up nearly three points
today, and the buying in the common,
which carried the stock to 3S at one
time was regarded as merely SYM
pathetic. St Paul preferred ran into
a plentiful supply of stock on the rail-
ly. The operation in Chicago Great
Western preferred looked as if it had
been shut down upon by the unsteadi-
ness of the market. Norfolk and
Western ran up across 130, and Lee
high Valley was strong for while.
But these movements quickly pc
tered out.
Air Reduction Scars.
Among the specialties there was
remarkable advance in Air Reduction,
followed by reaction. The same
thing occurred in Worthington Pump.
Columbia Gas and Electric sold above
SO for the first time accompanying
the announcement of the acquisition
of the Dayton Power and Light.
The oils were heavy from the start.
They were yielding to selling by
spectators.
Gardner Motor Active.
Buying of Gardner Motor has been
based upon favorable reports regarding
the company's business. The production
schedule, planned for the first half year,
has been doubled. according to official
information, and in spite of this increase
orders on hand largely exceed output.
Profits are expected to equal so cents
share for February, with net income at
a higher rate during the second quarter

GRAIN SELLS OFF,
THEN GOES HIGHER
indications of Enlarged Ex-
ports Lift Wheat, Corn
and 0at Prices.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, February 25.-Indica-
tions of enlarged export business led
to an upturn in wheat prices today
after a decline at the start. Initial
weakness was in sympathy with
lower quotations at Liverpool. 1t
developed, however, that Argentine
wheat was no longer available at
prices under United States wheat, and
that exporters were buying in this
country both at the seaboard and at
points elsewhere, such as Omaha.
The opening, which ranged from u
to B lower, with May 1864 to 1877
and July 1.56 to 1864, was followed
by material gains all around.
Corn and oats harmoniZed with
wheat action. After opening at Is
to "a decline, May 1.2S% to 1.2S%,
the corn market scored good gen.
eral advance.
Oats started unchanged to 3s, May
53% to say, and then rose to well
above yesterdays finish.
Provisions were responsive to up
turns in the price of hogs.

MARKET CLOSES STEADY.
Extensive Short Covering Noted in
Final Hour.
By the Associat ted Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 25.-Stock
prices displayed strong undertone
today despite rather active selling of
a few speculative favorites as a re-
suit of stiff call money rates. There
was a widespread demand for gilt
edged securities, particularly in the
railroad and equipment groups. Total
sales approXimated 1,150,00 shares.
The closing was steady. Indications
that certain stocks had been tenn
porarily oversold prompted more eX-
tensive short covering in the final
hour, American Sugar Refining; Ma
rine preferred, Radio, Sears Roebuck
and Maxwell Motors B moving up
briskly.

COTTON QUOTATIONS
FIRM AGAIN TODAY
Liverpool Cables and Lack of Rain
in South Keep Prices
Strong.
Rr The Associated Press.


NEW YORK. February 25. - The
cotton market showed renewed firm
ness at the opening today owing to
the continued strength of Liverpool,
complaints of inadequate rain In the
Southwest and reports that no fur
ther notices had been issued against
March notices.
First prices were IL to 26 points
higher and active months sold Is to
% points above yesterdays closing,
with old crop positions making new
high ground for the movement. May
contracts sold up to $500, the high
est price touched since the decline
to 232a for that position toward the
end of last month, and trade inter
ests were good buyers of near
months, while there appeared to be
broadening commission house de-
mand. A good deal of realizing at
the advance was absorbed on COM
paratively slight reactions.
New Orleans Quotations.
NEW ORLEANS, February 25.-
The cotton market opened with a
poor response to the advance in New
York yesterday during the holiday
here March traded at 24.50, or 8
points up, for the first sale, and
eased off to 24.45, or only 4 points
above Saturdays close, on the news
that notices for 10000 bales for de-
livery on March contracts had been
issued here this morning. The later
months, however, showed opening
advances of "a to 80 points, and March
promptly shot up to 24.76, or 35
points above the previous close, on
the belief that all the notices would
be stopped.

"All right, give me a two-cent
stamp"
"Wait a minute" said the postmas-
ter. eff you put it in an envelope and
leave it unsealed you can send it for
liz cents"
'Well, give me a lucent stamp"
The postmaster turned the pages of
a book of regulations.
"Say," he remarked: "Do you know
that if you put it in an envelope and
seal it, you can leave it here for him
at the drop letter rate of / cent"
Never mind" said the customer.
Here he comes down the street, I'll
give it to him.

Wisconsin Indians are gradually
becoming a factor in production with
over half of the LOO Indians left in
the state engaged in farming.
F. j. Volta, state leader of county
agricultural representatives, pointed
out conditions among the Indians in
a statement today and told about the
work that the state is doing to urge
Indian residents of the state to greater
efforts.
-Four Tribes in State
Four tribes, the Chippewas, Winnie
bagos, Pottawatomies and Menomo-
MES live in various parts of the state
The Winnebagos occupy land in ten
central counties. The PottaWatomieS
live in the northeast, extending into
Michigan. These tribes have no res
ervations.
The Chippewas, in the region of
Ashland, and the Menomonies live on
reservations where there is a govern
mental station. They have crudely
kept farms consisting of a few acres
upon which they grow vegetables and
grains
Rude two and three room houses,
little better than the ancestral wig
wan, are the abodes of the Indian
farmers Their barns are poor, make
shift structures.
Typical of the Indian who is lazy,
crops requiring excessive care are not
raised. Corn, beans, peas, beets, car
rots, potatoes, and some cucumbers
comprise the extent of their root
crops. They raise oats and hay for
their animals, almost every Indian
having a team of horses or ponies,
which he prizes above everything else.
Raise Cattle Too
Where there is government sta
ton and barns the Indian farms are
