READING EARLY MARKET FEATURE General List Displays Strong Tone During Initial Trade. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—The announcement of the Reading segregation plan was reflected in an outpouring of selling orders for Reading common at the opening of the stock market today on which that issue fell 2% points to 77%. It later rallied 1 point. The preferred issues, however, were in demand at substantial advances, the first preferred selling up 2 points to 53. while the second preferred rose 1 point to 58%. There was a division of opinion in regard to the effect of the Reading plan which, except in the case of the disposal of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and some details, has apparently received approval of the representatives of the Government that conducted the proceedings against the company. There was initial trading in Reading Rights on the curb at prices ranging from 14% to 20. from which level they yielded to 15. The general list displayed a generally strong tone. , ~ The oils were in good demand. Mexican Petroleum, after dropping 1 point to 162, coming back to 163%. Pan-American rose % of a point to 77%. The sugar stocks were strong. American beet sugar selling up 2% points to 61. while good gains were made by American Sugar and Cuba Cane. Steel common shaded fractionally, while Baldwin and Crucible sold around last night's close. The trading in the Reading issues demanded the most attention all through the first hour, those stocks selling down to new low prices for the year. After Reading common rallied from 77% to 79%, selling orders came In, forcing its price down to 75%. The preferred stocks were also under pressure, the first preferred, after selling at 53%, dropping to 49. and the second declining from 53% to 49%. Southern Pacific Rights yielded % of a point to 16%, the lowest price touched since they have been traded in on the exchange.' In the general list there was a show of strength, but price movements In the leading issues were comparatively narrow. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Feb. 15— The stock market Is still suffering from a lack of public interest. The demand is light, but offerings are also light. There has been but little pressure noticeable recently. There was a little evidence of improvement yesterday, but was confined largely to some specialties, the sugar stocks and Mexican Petroleum occupying a place of prominence. In the latter issue the buying was concentrated and was credited generally to a leading professional. f The money market may be described as normal. There was no unusual demand and for the time being the 7 per cent rate may be called standard. All have recognized the fact recently that we need anew Incentive in the stock market, something that will arouse public interest and bring about a revival In the demand. At the moment it would be difficult to point to any single thing that is likely to bring about the desired result, but we have a multitude of matters that are pending, all of great importance, and the solution of any one would probably be sufficient to start activity. We look forward hopefully, particularly to the efforts being made to facilitate foreign business through the organization of various banking corporations. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

There was a top of $10.50 on some extra fancy light hogß, but the bulk of the grade sold around $10.25, with a few sales at $10.35 and a few sales lower than $10.25. Mixed and mediums ranged at $9.00®10, with a few of those grades at $10.15, while heavy hogs generally brought $5.75®9.5t). Pigs generally brought $9®9.75.

With receipts close to 1.000 fresh cattle, prices were very Irregular during the forenoon hours of the market, with extra fancy heifers 25c to 50c higher, steers weak to 25c lower, bulls about steady and cows generally 25c to 50c lower.

GRAIN PRICES MAKE GAINS After Weak Opening, Grain Futures Advance Sharply. CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—Grain prices, after a weak opening, advanced sharply on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Prices eased off at the opening due to scattered selling and little demand, but heavy buying power and light receipts later caused the market to strengthen. Provisions vettre higher. March wheat opened off l%e at $1.70, gaining l%c In later trading. May wheat opened down %c at $1.59 and subsequently advanced 2%c. May corn opened at 70%c, up Vic, and gained an additional Vic later. July corn opened unchanged at 72%c and advanfced %c later. May oats opened up %c at 45%c, but lost Vic before the close. July oats opened up %c at 4014 c, but lost %c later. (Ey Thomson A McKinnon.) —Feb. 15Wheat—The ease with which wheat prices advance, although no special item of fresh news, suggests that there is Inherent strength in the situation. This Idea is further supported by the fact that premiums for cash wheat are maintained. There have been the usual claims of insect in the Southwest, and there was a reduced estimate of the Australian surplus, but outside of this there has been nothing to suggest the rapid action which occurred today. Larger flour mills are running at about 60 per cent of capacity. A feature in the trade Is that many ol the new orders for flour specify rush shipments, thereby confirming previously formed Ideas of a depletion of jobbers and retailers’ stocks. A feature In the visible supply decrease Is that western points, as well as seaboard ports, participate In the decrease. The advance has brought increased offerings from western Kansas, which fact may prevent any further Immediate advance In the market, but If correct ideas can be gained from the stati -Meal showing, then periods ol denressli, . are likely to be temporary. Coarse rains —An unexpectedly large export be siness In corn over the holidays, and a re.usal of the producing country to increase its offerings, have kept corn and oats firm. The increase in the visible supply is simply the cleaning up of accumulations in rnllroad yards at terminals and does not accrue from any new movement from the country. The feeding vnlue on the farms as contrasted with commercial prices is being given more attention by the trade. Sentiment leans moderately to higher prices. Provisions —There was a little selling of provisions by smaller packers, which was overcome by the strength of hogs and the action of graliiß. It is announced thnt Germany will remove all restrictions against Importation of American meats. This market lacks interest, nui seems to be In position to respond very easily to any Improvement in tha export trade. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Feb. 15WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

FINES ARE LAID ON 3 SPEEDERS Plea That He Suspected Holdup Fails to Save One. Abraham Zainey, 149 East Market street, was fined $25 and costs for violating the motor speed law by Special Judge Clancy in city court today. Zainey was charged with driving at the rate of forty miles an hour. Sergeant McClain said he attempted to stop a car traveling at excessive speed on the Crawfordsville road by flashing a light. Instead of slowing down the car increased its speed. McClain said he fired one shot at the car and followed it to the 800 block In Indiana avenue, where he arrested Zainey. Zainey testified he thought the officer was a hoid-up man. Judge Clancy gave him the benefit of the doubt, but fined him for speeding on a ‘‘busy street.” Harry Hulun, 971% West Washington street, was fined S3O and costs for speeding by Judge Walter Pritchard. Sergeant McClain arrested Hulan for running at the rate of thirty-three miles an hour in West Washington street. Rufus Henry, 515 East Washington street, driver for the Quick Service Tire Company, was fined SSO and costs for speeding. Judge Pritchard s usual flue for speeding is S3O, but when Sergeant McClain said he arrested Henry at Meridian and Washington streets he tacked on an additional S2O.

GOVERNMENT IS TO RETURN GUNS Marshal Storen Prepares to Return Alien Firearms. Firearms of all sizes, descriptions and models Uttered up the office of Mark Storen, United States marshal, today. In fact, the place looked like a museum of hand artillery. There were shotguns, .rifles, revolvers and pistols, big guns with the bore of a young cannon, little gems of the .22-caliber variety, sir.glebarreled, double barreled, breach loaders, muzzle loaders, hammer and hammetiess models, guns that looked business like and effective and guns tnat loked as though they would be far more dangerous to the shoter than to the shootee. Marshal Storen explained that he was not preparing for a riot or an invasion, neither had he gone into the curio business, but that he was merely getting ready to return the “shoutin' irons” to their owners who. In accordance with .the terms of the alien enemy act during the world war, had been required to' register at the marshal's office and to deposit with him any firearms owned by them.
