STOCK MARKET CLOSES FIRM Highest Prices of Day Reached in Final Trade. NEW YORK. Feb. 20. —The stock maret closed firm today. Many stocks seer* In good demand In the late trading •nd the highest prices of the day were generally established in the last few minutes'of trading. Invisible Oil became prominent, moving to above 21. Pierce-Arrow moved up to 27%, also showing a gain of 1 point. There was a Steady demand for Studebakar. United States Steel, after Its advance to 84. reacted to 83% and Baldwin Locomotive sold down to 89%. Reading rallied slightly from the low levels reached on the bear raids. The total sales of stocks today was 806.800 shares; bonds. $6,251,000. The total sales of stocks for tho week were 2,485,400. Bonds, $48,901,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Feb. 26 There was renewed pressure at the Opening on a few issues, but otherwise the market was uneventful. Weakness that developed in Reading was unaccompanied by any explanatory Information. The early selling was credited to foreign interests, but subsequently local traders participated and forced a further decline. The general volume of business was moderate; the market looked professional, and the commission houses were lese active even than on previous dull days. Some observers claim to be able to detect some accumulation of stock, but If It Is so there Is certainly no visible effect on values, and the only strength results from a moderate amount of short covering such as we had today. We are simply In the midst of a market where the public has lost Interest, leaving the market to the mercy •f the professional element, who usually try to operate along lines of least re■letanee. and conditions have favored them In depressing values. As business recovery has been slow, conditions In Europe are very unfavorable. There are, however, some elements In the situation that may result in some good in the near future. Among these the gradual improvement in the credit ■ituation is of utmost importance. While we see nothing very encouraging at the moment, we continue to feel that we have created a technical situation in the market, which will be mighty helpful the moment there is least encouragement from business channels.

Stock Market Review NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The Sun financial review today saidt “It was not until well toward the end of the first hour that today's short session of the stock market displayed the slightest animation. Prior to that time the list was neglected and, as usually happens under such conditions, prices receded substantially, with few exceptions. “The action measured a fraction to as much as a point or more. That it was stayed by considerations of covering for the short account by way of finishing up the movement begun yesterday against the week-end was obvious. “Losses were more than regained. International Paper, American Woolen, Vanadium Steel, Keplogle, Stromborg Carburetor, among others, were outstanding features of strength. “The steel group did better as the session advanced, notwithstanding the outburst of Comptroller Williams against the United States Steel Corporation for not reducing prices and wages in the Interest of general business revival." i N, Y.

GRAIN PRICES REACT SHARPLY Wheat and Corn Close Lower —Oats Unsteady. CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Grain prices, after a strong opening, reacted sharply on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Local buying of wheat caused strength at the outset, but on the advance there were free offerings from commission houses and practically all quotations suffered at the close. Provisions were lower. March wheat opened up lc at $1.68% and closed down %c. May wheat opened at $1.58%, up %c, and lost l%c at the close. May corn opened unchanged at 70%c, dropplug l%c later. July corn, opening off %c at 72c, dropped an additional %c at the close May oats opened up %c, at 46%0, and gained an additional %c at the close. July oats opened unchanged at 46%c and dropped %c at the close. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 26Wheat —Yesterday's cables told of purchases or round lots of Argentine wheat by Germany at 15 to 20 cents less thar. United States varieties. In the face of this Germany has today bought one cargo of United States wheat. Whatever 1 the reason for this demand, the simple ■ taking of more of our small surplus Is distinctly worthy of consideration. The flour trade, both domestic and export, appears to be reviving. Southwestern mills claim a better demand than in four months. Chicago millers were more active in market and were taking some wheat from elevator accumulations. Economic conditions are still iu evidence to the extent that there is no breadth to the Investment demand and all operators who ure friendly are acting with caution. As a matter of fact, this makes a healthy market as there is no overconfident and needless demand. The statistical position shows so little available wheat that the market will be sensitive to any unfavorable conditions In the present outI look. It would suem that the greater pos slbilltles lie on the buying side of the market. Corn and Oats—The movement of corn ' from the country being so much larger - thau the demand from distributors or j exporters, the market is not showing a ; good tone. Practically all advices from I the Interior are to the effect thHt farmer# have stopped selling, but this is Ignored j In the face of the present heavy movement. There Is not likely to be any , particular strength in either corn or oats ! under the conditions now existing. Provisions—The strong hug market has been offset by the dullness in products and the dragging tendency In corn. It Is be'ieved that the movement of hogs from the country will decrease and that market will maintain its present strong ! undertone. It Is also felt that the pro- ; vision list will be in sympathy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Senator Reed, Missouri, Democrat, today wired a formal protest to Presldent-eledt Harding against appointment Hoover tc the Hardin f Cablne^p

SAYS BREWERY VIOLATED LAW Woman Bares Interest in Saloon in Suit. Exposure of methods said to have been used by the Terre Haute Brewing Company, through its agents and the Vigo Investment Company, to evade the Proctor law prohibiting former breweries from having any Interest In saiodn properties, today was made by Mrs. Erminie D. Ilanrahan of this city in a suit filed in Superior Court, Room 4, for $6,000 judgment against the Terre Haute Brewing Con pany, Vigo Investment Company, E. P. Fairbanks, Fred Wagner, M. J. Ward, John E. Boggs of Terre Haute, Remy Vesque and Maurice Donnelly, former agents of the Terre Haute brewery in Indianupolis. Mrs. Hanrahan claims that on Aug. 5, 1914 Donnelly, as agent, sold a saloon and fixtures at 1708 South East street In Indianapolis for $1,500 to Michael J. Hanrahan and that Donnelly got a loan of $1,500 from the Terre Haute Brewing j Company through the Vigo Investment j Company. She claims she put up as se- ! curity three diamond rings valued at $6,000. She claims the rings never have ; been returned to her and that the whole j transaction was illegal, j The complaint says the Vigo Investj ment Company was Incorporated under ! Indiana laws by E. P. Fairbanks, 1700 | shares of stock; John E. Beggs, 1700 shares: Fred Wagner, M. J. Ward and : Remy Vesque, each one share, as “a part of and a holding for the said Terre Haute Brewing Company for the sole purpose to avoid and evade an act of the Legislature of Indiana of 1011, known as the Proctor law, which prohibits breweries and manufacturers of intoxicating liquor from owning any Interest in or property In saloons." HOUSE BLOCKS COUNTY’S HAND IN MEMORIAL (Continued From Page One.) it carried, to have tha county council vote the appropriation. Representative Henry Abrams, Indianapolis, objected on the ground that such a move would carry the American Legion which has fostered the project, into politics “A special election of that hind would cost about $150,000," he said, "besides enormous campaign expenses." Representative Otto G. Fifleld, Lake County, moved to table Ilarrlson’e amendment, but the motion lost. 37 to 32. B’ ilgood then asked If the Marion County delegation would be willing to delay removal of the blind asylum Inasmuch as It will be some time before work on the memorial can start. He received an affirmative reply. Harrison's amendment was then voted on and lost by a vote of 43 to 23. falling to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority. OTHERS EXPECTED TO MEET SAME FATE. Tha fate that met the one memorial bill backed by Marlon County is likely to extend to tha othpr two, in the belief of legislators Efforts will be mado to clear up the situation and Noll expects to ask for reconsideration. If that fails, however, there is little likelihood Marion County and Indianapolis will be allowed to cooperate In the memorial undertaking. The State already has appropriated 32.0tK).000 for the memorial and the House has passed a bill calling for removal of the bllud asylum to some other site In Marlon County. That bill also provides a $300,000 appropriation for erecting a new building. The agitation for a memorial has been on ever since ludlanapolls was selected as the national headquarters of the American Legion. The building is sought first as a memorial to Indiana's sons and daughters who served In the World Wur and second as a headquarters for all patriotic organizations that make Indianapolis their home. It was the intention to have the structure erected about midway between the Federal Building and the City Library and to have the remainder of txa ground converted into an Immense plaza. Minister Says We Live in Fresh Age COLUMBUS. Ohio, Feb. 26—“ The age Is brash, brazen, cheap, uncivil. We are fresh, vulgar, immodest, common. We can't help being fresh. Wo like being Just a little immodest, and we mean to go on being common.” This is the estimate of “A Mannerless Age" as voiced by the Rev. Dr. C. R. Havlghurst, pastor of the First M. E. Church here. “There are so many propagators of vulgarity in taste and manners all around us that It Is almost impossible not to catch it," continued the Rev. Dr. Havlghurst. “The very air Is full of the germ. Those whose material prosperity has suddenly overtaken them are especially susceptible. “The classics, the source of real culture, have either gone to the top shelves of our bookcases or have been relegated t> the attic, and the cheap magazdne and the sterile, vulgar projection of the cinematograph have full swing and sway. “Whether an ago of Intelligent refinement and good manners is about to set In is difficult to tell. Culture is the finest flowering of the human spirit and it cannot be bought with, nor produced by, money. The 'smart set’ is characteristic of the mannerless age. The golden opportunity to re establish culture and good manners lies especially in the hands ■>f fathers and mothers In the home."
