STOCK TRADING IN
 MARKED PANS|ON
Market Deserts Narrow Area
 With Burst Of Strength

New York. March 14 LP-The stock market today broke out of the narrow trading area within which it has been fiuctuating for the p.st fortnight with tremendous outburst of strength. Buying orders were dis tributed over a broad list of issues, a few high priced specialties soarlng 6 to nearly 25 points, while . long list of active industrials and speclai- ties sold 1 to points higher Near ly a score issues moved into new high ground for the year. Trading showed q marked expansion in volume.
 Retention of the per cent re- discount rate by the Boston Fed eral Reserve bank. and the bl2 per cent rate by the Bank of England. which was widely interpreted as forecasting no change in the New York Federal Reserve bank rate aft CT the close, provided the chief bull ish stimuli. Favorable trade and earnings reports also helped to create a more cheerful feeling.
 Call money was in plentiful sup ply at the renewal figure Of per cent with indications that it might work lower before the day was over. Time money held firm. Secretary Mellon's statement that it was a good time for prudent investors to buy bonds was interpreted as an in- dication that he expected money rates to work lower before the end of the year.
 Radio issues were again the sen- sations of the market The old stock scared nearly .5 points to record high at le2 as against a low of 36S last week, and the new stock moved up more than 1 points to new high at 2s 1-4. Pacific Telephone also jumped e4H points to a new high at 900.
 Rossia Insurance jumped 121. points and Goodyear Tire, Burroughs Adding Machine, Commercial Sol vents International Telephone. Gem eral Electri,, Montgomery Ward, Underwood Elliott Fisher. Wright Aeronautical. Du Pont. Bethlehem Steel. |. g. Steel. common. Ma tional Distiilers, A. M. Byers, Inter- national Combustion and Chrysler sold to points higher.
 Lead shares were in brisk demand on reports of a decrease Of more than 5000 tons in total stocks dur ing January. Oils were cumulated in the theory that important dc ,elopments affecting the curtailmen' Of crude were pending The rise in the motors was associated with re- ports of expanding spring business.

A NEW METHOD OF
MARKETING SPUDS

Potato growers of this section, who
to the best advantage, might tind
food for thought in a news item COM
ing from Buffalo, N. V this week.
The item stated that the first car
of northern potatoes packed in 15-
pound cloth bags had reached the
Buffalo market, that it met with ex-
cellent demand for the best class of
trade, and that it brought a premium
over stock packed in other ways. The
car came from a point in Michigan.
Encouraged by the success of their
initial shipment, the Michigan grow
ers are making plans to make further
shipments of the same kind, not only
to Buffalo, but to other markets
throughout the country where there
is a demand for northern potatoes.
The intention of the Michigan grow
ers is to pack only large, clean, select
ed potatoes in these small sacks and
to create a permanent demand for
these by guaranteeing the product
right through to the consumer. In
this way they hope to receive the
better prices usually brought by quail
ty products but also to do away with
the need of diverting cars from mar
ket to market. Above all it is the
intention to do away with, as much
as possible. the hit and miss method
of marketing potatoes.
