STEVENS POINT, Wis, March IA.
"A process for the manufacture of
paper from peat has been discovered
by Charles c. Roth, former paper
maker of Germany, now living at
Westfield, near here.
Roth has been experimenting for
the past year and according to an
announcement made here extensive
plans are under way to put peat
paper on the market next spring.
Roth has been financed in his inves.
legations by A. Grain, of Westfield,
and corporation is being formed
for the purposes of marketing the
new product.
A factory built by Roth and Grain
at Westfield will be ready next
spring to turn out 10000 feet of wall
board day. The experiments have
shown that wrapping paper can also
be made from peat and it is possible
that this will be manufactured also.
Wisconsin is provided with unlim-
tied resources of peat which UP to
now have been put to no practical
use. According to Roth, the peat can
be transported to his factory very
cheaply.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Ad-
vances ranging from point to 16%
in railroad stocks featured dealings
on the New York, Stock Exchange
during the past week. Irregularity
developed toward the end of the
week and on Saturday selling was
noted in several sections in anticipa-
ton of a technical reaction in the
coming week. However, the final
list showed gains far outnumbering
the few losses, and stocks in both
industrial and rail sections substan-
TALLY higher.
The best advance of the week was
scored by Gulf, Mobile & Northern,
which spurted 16% points. Atchison,
staunch leader Of the railroad group,

Texas & Mexico. 515: Peoria &

A points.
Gains of over points were scored
by Chesapeake & Ohio, Rock Island,
D. L. & w. and others.
Firmer credit was noted on Friday
and it is expected that the rate will
be advanced next week on account
of huge Withdrawals to be made to
meet income tax installments and
other mid-month requirements.
However, return to the per cent
rate should come later on in the
week with easy money available for
some time.
Traders were greatly encouraged
by the rise in rails, which impaired
a strong tone to the entire list.
Bears tried in vain to reduce prices
and their efforts met success at
various times. Good buying always
developed on the dips and selling
at the extreme highs, keeping the
market at a fair balance.
