GASOLINE UPTURN

Rise Believed First Hint of
Strengthening of Motor
Fuel Market.
By the Associated Press.

by tHe ASSOCIATED fTeSS.
TULSA, March 16.-A Slight upturn
in the gasoline price structure was
cheerful sign in the petroleum indus
try today.
The increase was an eighth of a
cent gallon on third grade, bringing
the ruling tank car price to AZ cents.
Most reflners felt the rise was the
first indication of a strengthening
of the motor fuel market, plagued
for many months by record breaking
stocks of gasoline in storage. But it
was pointed out the increase was in
fluenced to some extent by increased
railroad freight rates granted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Some refiners forecast additional
increases. 1t was pointed out many
an independent refiner was making a
real effort to prevent selling his prod
uct at :, loss.
The third grade market was reported
firm at ruling quotations, with ma
terial rather hard to get.
Throughout the week, marketers re-
ported improvement in the volume Of
gasoline. Crude oil remained firm un-
der the effect of strict curtailment
of production in the heavy producing
States. Operators did not look for an
adverse effect in this area from the
Pennsylvania crude price cut, which
brought the top grade in that section
to II cents barrel under the price
early last September.
1t was forecast the success of the
crude production program, generally
credited with holding the market
steady during the winters slump,
would be continued through April
The holding back of field work in
the policy to cut-back production was
showing up in the number of wells
completed in the Nation. The Oil and
Gas Journal reported that in the past
week 453 wells were completed, so
fewer than the week before. Up to
March II drillers had completed 5,454
wells in 1888, compared to 5,3e2 for
the same period in 1887.

LIVE STOCK TOTAL
AT 8-YEAR Low
1887 Supply Is Smallest
Since 1929-Pig Crop
Is CurtaiIed.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Mareh 16-The total
supply OF live stock in the United
States showed decrease of only 0.5
per cent during 1887 despite the reduc-
ton in the feed supply as the result
of the drought damaged harvest of
the previous year, according to the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. The
supply at the beginning of 1898. how
ever. was the smallest since 1929. An
increase in the supply of hogs and
sheep during 1887 was more than offset
by a decrease in the supply of cattle,
horses and mules.
Although cattle raising was not cur
tailed to any appreciable extent in
1887, the new supply was exceeded by
the number slaughtered. The total
number of cattle on farms declined
during 1887 for the fourth consecutive
year. dropping to 65,930.O00 from the
record high of 74,262,O00 at the be-
ginning of 1884. The current supply,
however. does not represent scarcity,
since it is considerably larger than it
was during the years Immediately pre-
ceding the depression. Cattle on
farms at the beginning of 1929, for
instance, totaed only 58,878,0O0.
The short corn crop of 1886 caused
curtailment of pig raising in 1887.
but the new supply exceeded the num-
Der slaughtered as the result of eco
nomical consumption of pork products.
The number of hogs on farms conse-
quently rose during 1887 from 42,948,-
600 to 44,418,000 The supply at the
beginning Of 1888, however, was rela-
lively small, exceeding by only small
amount the very short supply of 39.-
004,000 at the beginning of 1895. 1t
was $50 per cent below the record
high of 69,304,0O0 at the beginning of
1928.
Sheep-raising in 1887 was main
tanned at relatively high level and
the new lamb crop exceeded the mum

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 16.-The bond
market suffered an abrupt decline
under selling which bore most heavily
upon foreign obligations and domestic
rail loans.
Most European issues were under
pressure as result of fresh wave OF
apprehension over the central Euro
pean political situation. The decline
here was accentuated by weakness OF
security markets abroad,
Rails led the downward movement
in domestic corporate issues. In late
trading many favorites were off l to
3 points. Some inactiveS lost as much
as points.
Loans of Austria, CzechoSlovakia
and Belgium dropped 4 to or more.
Other foreign groups showed losses
ranging from l to 3.
Principal losers in the rail group
were loans of Southern Pacific, NIX
T, New York Central, Southern Rail-
way. Atlantic Coast Line, Great North
ern and Central Pacific.
U. S. Governments were in step with
the trend, with Treasures off 1-32d to
l2-32ds, except Treasury 3a4s, which
declined more than half point on

CLEVELAND. March 16-There is
almost literally no limit" to steel's
future markets, Tom Girdler, Republic
Steel Corp. chairman, said last night.
Entirely aside from the automobile
field" he declared, there is the poten-
tial demand for strip steel for products
such as refrigerators, containers, air
conditioning and building-just to
mention a few major markets.
'Not day passes but what steel is
being adapted to some new use."
Mr.. Girdler spoke at the formal
opening of Republics $l5,000,000 con-
tinuous strip mill here.
j.. He asserted the steel industry in re-
cent years has employed more men
than ever before.
"The number Of men required to
run the mill itself represents only a
small fraction. Of the employment
made possible by the MILL" he asserted.
every ton of steel going through
this mill means that men are employed
back In the ore mines, men are en-
ployed in the coal mines, men are en-
ployed on the steamships and on the
railroads, men are employed in the
blast furnaces and the open heartts." ;"

He paused at the mirror to sweep his hair
sleek, and straighten his tie. Then he lighted
a cigarette and stepped into the presence of
Enrico Castelnuova, -Marchese Nocera. The
Marchese was slipping an evening cloak from
his shoulders.
"They won't be here for another half-hour,

There's nothing much except in the inside

except the young fish in the outside rooms this

They went into the club rooms. Even at

Tyrrel "Will you take the inside entrance to
the hotel?"
Certainly not" answered Marchese Mo-
cera, and went out to the street.
He turned in again at the street entrance
of the hotel which lifted above the Blue
Peacock It was tall building but its narrow
height was adequately served by single pair
of elevators. Its lobby and vestibule wore an
air of quiet middle-class decency that pleased
the Marchese as often as he entered the place.
He went up now to the ninth floor which he
operated as sort of personal club. The group
that now waited for him in the living room
already had been served with coffee, cognac,
and cigars Some of them stood up to greet
him; some were not in the habit of rising.
A summer thunderstorm was speaking in
the distance and rafting the windows as the
Marchese walked among them, saying. as he
shook hands with each in turn: YOU'RE
