STOCKS TOUCH HIGH LEVELS Highest Quotations of Year in Vigors upturn. KEW YORK, March 23.—New high record* for the year were made In a number of Issues on the stock market this afternoon when the entire list engaged In a Tigoroue forward movement. Gains of from 1 to 6 points were recorded. Hurried covering' by shorts induced by a more optimistic industrial outlook, was generaUy believed responsible for the advance. The motors led in the upturn and Studebaker rose 6% points to 79%, a new high for the year. Chandler at 81%, and Pierce-Arrow at 35%, also were new high marks. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 23 Tuesday's stock market was marked by greater irregularity than we have had in some time. Some stocks were pressed for sale, others were in steady demand. In some cases commission houses were most active, in others the trading was largely professional. The selling of other issues was no doubt due to the fact that they have advanced recently to a sufficient extent to be tempting from a standpoint of profits, ss well as to those who belong to the school where the rule is "sell before you buy." Atlantic Gulf was one of the very strong Issues Tuesday. Evidently the account here Is heavily short. This, however, holds true of most of our active stecks. Os great significance has been the steady improvement in stocks such as Mays Department Store, Associated Dry Goods and Endicott Johnson, as they are governed more largely by the state of trade than the more speculative issues of the list. The passing of the Yanadinm dividend was evidently anticipated and therefore tad no marked effect in the market It looks more and more like we are on the road to Improvement and while this may be slow, nevertheless, it is certain, and will gradually be rejected in the value of securities. We continue of the opinion that on th* reactions stocks should be accumulated.

Representatives of Kingan & Cos., who are generally the largest buyers on the market, attributed the lower tendency of the market here both yesterday and today to an unnecessarily Inflated market Monday. They stated that the prices set Monday were out of proportion to the other markets of the country and that as a consequence orders fell off to almost nothing. There was a fairly active market at the lower prices, but a good clearance for the day was not anticipated as there were hogs thnt were expected late. At an early hour’ in the forenoon practically all of the order men and local packers had satisfied their demands and it was predicted that prices would be even weaker before the close of the market. Receipts for the day approximated 7,500 fresh hogs and close to 500 swine left over from the market of the day before. Light hogs generally brought $10,500 10.75, with a few at $10.85. Medium hogs brought $ 10.250 10.50, while heavy hogs dropped $9.50010. Hogs over 300 pounds generally brought $9.25. Pigs brought $10010.75 and roughs, S7OB. With close to 1,000 fresh and stale cattle lu the pens, there was au active, steady market. The demand was better than has been seen for several days aud cattlemen predicted a better tone and better prices within the next two weeks, but prices were no more than strong at the best. There was an especially good demand for bulls and had a better grade of stuff been on the market, better prices would have been paid. There was one or two sales of this grade of cattle at $7, while the general top was $6.50. There was a weak tone to the calf market, due more than anything else to the large receipts, and prices were generally $1 lower, with a few calves selling as much as $1.50 lower. A few extra choice calves brought sl4, while the bulk of the choice calves brought $12.70013.50. Good calves brought sllOl2 and mediums, SBOIO. Other grades brought SSOIO. Thero were close to 800 calves on the market. \\ itli no more than 50 sheep and lambs on the market, prices were no more toan steady. There were really not enough sheep in the pens to make a market.

SLUMP HITS GRAIN MARKET Heavy Selling by Commission Houses Causes Weakness. CHICAGO, March 23. —Grain prices declined on the Chicago board of trade today after a strong opening. The advance at the opening followed reports of poor crop conditions in some section of the wheat belt. Heavy selling by commission houses with little demand, however, soon started the decline. March wheat opened off %c at $1.51%, and dropped l%c later. May wheat opened up %c at $1.43%, losing 3%c subsequently. May corn opened up %c at 65%e, and dropped lc before the close. July corn opened up %c at 69c, and lost l%c before the close. May oats opened up %e*nt 40%c, dropping %c subsequently. July oats opened tip %c at 42%c, and held that figure in later trading. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —March 23Wheat—The situation In tile wheat market was shown by the action of red winter wheat Tuesday. This grade was quoted 5 to 7 cents lower, although only a part of one car was offered for sale. Manifestly, therefore, the weakness Is derived from an absence of demand and not fri.m any burdensome offerings The selling Tuesday was Influenced by a complete disappearance of new export business, also by distinctly favorable reports "f the growing crop. Even In the export situation the absence of pressure of ac. tual wheat is demonstrated by an advance In premiums, on gulf shipment, of one-half cent. Trade journals tell us that there has been sufficient unreported foreign demand for low grade flours to relieve any congestion in th* way of excess accumulations at seaboard ports. It is granted the condition of the growing crop is among the best on record, but we submit that the crop will not be made for some time to coin©. It therefore seems a little premature to base ideas upon this condition alone and ignore the small offerings of the old crop. It is accepted that the buying power so far as investment purchases are concerned is poor, but export business Is being done at somewhere near an average of 1,000,000 bushels daily and if various statistics can be depended upon, a prolongation of this rate of outgo will not leave any excessive carry-over Into the next crop. Corn and Oats—The enormous volume of corn and oats already In the visible supply an I Hie probability of reeordbieaking reserves on the farm overhang these markets. The visible supply accumulation is a direct load, in that hedging sales have been placed. she farm reserves an Indirect loud, to the extent the demand is very naturally reluctant. Periods of reaction In sympathy with wheat will appear, but there must oe Important developments If prices are to bo permanently advanced. Provisions —The weakness in grains had more to do with dragging tendency of provisions than any particular selling. There was some buying of ribs and lard, which seemed to be lifting of hedges against cash purchases.

WAR DECLARED BY U. S. AGAINST TYPHUS GERMS Government Decree Says Typhoid Cooties Must Not Enter This Country. WORLD’S WORST PLAGUE By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. NEW YORK CITY—The typhus germ can not be Americanized, It Is one European product that must be kept out of the well-worn melting-pot; one danger which cannot be accepted and absorbed even by such an undiscriminatlug Nation as' ours. Immigrants may be compelled to suffer hardship; travelers be inconvenienced and steamship companies lose money, but the typhus cootie must be prevented from entering this country. Everybody Is agreed as to this; only there are various disagreements as to how It is to be done, and the Nation as a whole seems to be painfully slow in making up its mind. Already forty cases of typhus have occurred Id New York City and Its harbor, with several deaths as a result. Nearly every ship arriving from a foreign port carries infected Immigrants, while thousands of others, suspected of the semii condition, will continue to sail for this country as fast as there ,s steerage space to accommodate them. Yet the New York City health department has been severely criticised In some quarters for adopting prompt and rigorous measures to bar typhus vermin, and only in the last few days have the Federal health authorities been given permission to act in the matter. “The importance of the typhus danger cannot be overestimated," Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health commissioner of New York City, told the reporter In a brief Interview the other afternoon. “Some people are Inclined to think that we have raised a rather needless scare, but that is because they are unacquainted with typhus. They do not know that it Is one of the deadliest scourges to which mankind is victim. They do not know that more men died of typhus In Serbia during the war than were killed in battle. They do not realize that one infected Immigrant! released in this city, might spread a plague that would cause a million deaths in the space of a few weeks." Dr. Copeland was the first person to recognize the fact that a typhus emergency existed. As soon as the first cases were discovered, he notified the Immigration authorities and stationed fumigating squads at the Battery to inspect immigrants arriving In the city from Ellis Island. Many were found tov be vermininfested and had to be put through the deluusing process. Others carried bundles and suitcases containing Infected clothing.

CONFUSION AT FORT OF ENTRY. This caused a great deal of consternation at both Ellis Island and Hoffman's Island, the quarantine station, where the immigrants had been passed without question. The health authorities at both of the*© places immediately started mating special inspections for typhus infection, which naturally required much more rime than the ordinary health lu.spe Mi ns. They were delayed In their work by the lack of proper facilities. Ships, with steerage passengers who had to be examined, began to pile up In the harbor, id thus arose the preseat congested condition. The Federal authorities have recently taken ovex the State quarantine station at Hoffman's Island, but Inasmuch ns the facilities havo not been Increased, conditions are not noticeably Improved. Reporters are not permitted to ndd to the general ehaos of Hoffman's Island, but from the stores of returned travelers, one learns that the immigrants havo a sad time there. ‘lt was early morning and frightfully cold when they came for the Immigrants on our ship In a small tug boat," narrated an American woman who arrived ou a French ship the other day. “They began to transfer the Infected or suspected Immigrants at once, but not without a fight, because the French officials objected, saying that the Immigrants were perfectly clean. The poor people, having come from Italy and the south of France, were not prepared for a cold cllmatA. Their clothing was distressingly scanty and they trembled with cold. Those who did not get typhus probably got pneumonia later. Mothers were drugged away from their children and all bundled into the tug. Many of them could not speak English and did not understand what it was all about. They kept them over there at Hoffman's Island all day, waiting for examinations, and during all that rime they did not have a thing to eat. Os course, I suppose the government cannot help it, hut I do think something ought to be done.” This woman s ship was foruntate, however, to be held up only twenty-four hours. Others have had to lie lu the harbor for two or three days while the quarantine office caught up with its wotk. On one of these detained ships, the Immigrants recently staged a rebellion, threatening In the choicest words of several different languages to do some damage If they were not permitted to leave the boat. Then, as they were not released, they carried out their threat. They broke some furniture and Incidentally the water pipes. Nevertheless, they had to remain there the rest of the day and the ship's stewards got even by charging them 50 cents per cup for drinking water. WORKS HARDSHIP ON SHIPPING COMPANIES. The Immigration, moreover are not the only ones who are not enjoying the present situation. The steamship companies And It equally difficult. Every day they are held up in the harbor means a large money loss, for not only must they lose valuable time, but they must continue feeding their passengers. One large steamship company has placed one of Its vessels at the disposal of the quarantine officials as a detention ship for immigrants, who are transferred to It for examination while the ship that brought them Continues on Its way. Under the emergency ruling no craft from a foreign port can approach within 300 yards of a New Y’ork pier without a permit, granted only after the most rigid Inspection. One hears vague rumors that the steamship companies are establishing their own delouslng plant* on the European side, but no definite information seems to be available on this point. Many people feel that It is up to the foreign governments to take the necessary precautions against

Higher Egg Prices Are Predicted Local wholesale dealers In eggs stated this afternoon that people who have been forcing down the price of eggs are unable to buy eggs at such prices and that prices will be higher within the next few days. Storage of eggs for Easter use was given as one of the principal reasons for higher prices. Egg* today are being quoted at from 17 to 21 cents a dozen by various wholesale dealers. th? spread of typhus, and to prevent any but clean emigrants from embarking for this country. The foreign governments, however, do not seem to agree with this view. The Italian government, in fact, has even resented the charge that any Infected immigrants could possibly come from Italian shores, although the fact remains that they have. To avoid the congestion In New York harbor, many steamship lines are now diverting their vessels to other ports, notably Boston and Philadelphia. From these points the Immigrants come to New York by rail, thus making it necessary for the city health department to keep inspection squads also at the railway stations. Fortunately, here the New. York Travelers’ Aid Society has come to the rescue and is taking care of family groups while their various members are removed for examination and fumigation. “Sometimes while a husband is sent away to be freed from vermin,” one of the Travelers’ Aids told the reporter, “the wife thinks he Is being dragged off to Siberia. Then we have to rush our interpreter to the scene to explain the matter to her. So many of the people are war refugees, who have already suffered so much that their anxieties are easily aroused.” If the man Is detained for any great length of time, the aids see that the children get food and that the family obtains proper lodgings. Sometimes as many as twenty-five such families must be taken care of out of a group of a hundred or more who come through on one train. While precautions against the typhus cootie are ever becoming more systematized, the congestion remains unrelieved at the port of New York. The health authorities are putting up a valiant fight against tremendous handicaps. They need more men, and more facilities. Congress. they say, could solve the whole typhus emergency at once by ordering a cessation of Immigration until the disease subsided In Europe, but Congress has Its own reasons for desiring Immigration to continue. The least, then, that it can do is to authorize an increase in the size of the force and working materials at Hoffman's and Ellis Island, and thus help to prevent the spread ot the plague.

Wireless Men Ask More Sea Facilities LONDON, March 23.—The Association of Wireless Telegraphists Issues a demand for the Increase of methods for securing safety at sea. It Is suggested that In order to carry out the provisions of the International Radiograph Convention In London It is necessary that two separate receiving installations be provided on liners doing special work, one for continuous 606 meters watch and one for press schedules or special receptions. It is said that often the wireless la working on press news for six hours continuously, giving ample time for a ship lu distress to founder without any of Its calls for help being heard by ships In the vicinity.

PAN-AMERICAN UNION ASSISTS IN DIPLOMACY Many Students From Republics of South Given Aid in Securing Education. EXCHANGE OF STUDENTS WASHINGTON, D. C.—-If a boy in Mexico or Chile or the Argentine or any other Latin-American country wants to come to the United States for his education, the Pan-American Union here will make all arrangements for him. It can very likely obtain him a scholarship, it will find work for him after his graduation so that he may get practical experience to round off his education, and ifi general It will act as his friend and ad* vlsef. Likewise, if a boy In the United States wants to go to a Latin-American country for his education in order to learn the language and the laws of that country, the Pan-American Union will give him assistance In finding what he wants. In word, the Union Is going to facilitate In every possible way the exchange of students among the American republics, because It believes that in this way more than any other a real Pan-American spirit of friendly understanding is built up. In fact, the value of the plan has long elnce been demonstrated. The best friends the United States has In LatinAmerica are the numerous native gradnates of Cornell, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania and other American colleges, who are scattered all through Latin-America, from Mexico to the Argentine. Throughout those countries there are United States universities clubs, made up of the alumni of American universities, some of whom are natives of the United States and some of the countries In which the club Is located. Needless to say, these club* are centers of Pan-American friendship. There are today about 5,000 students from Latin-America In schools and colleges in the United tales. Naturally the number of Americans who go to South America to study Is much smaller, but the union emphasizes the value of that side of the movement, too. There are great opportunities in South America, and the young man who has studied there Is in a good position to take advantage of them. For example, a graduate of an American law school went to Rio de Janeiro to study law. He became consul general for the United States, but later gave up that work to open a law office. He now has a large business and employs several assistants and Is a legal writer of some note in Brazil. The influx of students from the South to our universities has been greatly stimulated by the American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico City, which has a representative, Mr. O. W. E. Cook, In country to induce American universities to grant scholarships to Latin-American students and American Industrial firms to give them Jobs In their chosen lines. He has had great success In both. The way of the Latin-American students Is being made easier and easier. He is taken care of. in many cases, from the time he lands here until he Is ready to return. And he returns a booster for the United States. This exchange of students is one of the new activities of the Pan-American Union under its new director. Dr. Leo S. Rowe. Dr. Rowe has two main plans. One of these Is to departmentalize the work cf the Pan-American Union, so that It may work more effectively along special lines, such as education and sanitation. The other is to make the PanAmerican Bulletin a medium to carry practical Information to the Latin-Amer-lean countries as well as a message of friendship. In addition to his plans for a special department devoted to education, Dr. Rowe has already well under way a department of sanitation. This Is to act as a clearing house for all new discoveries and researches along the lines of sanitation and hygiene, so that these may be made immediately available all over the western hemisphere Instead of. waiting upon the slow process of translation and transmission through ordinary channels. For instance, the United States Public Health Service has recently discovered, by Its experiments In Hawaii, what seems to be a specific cure for leprosy. Chaulmoogra oil has long been recongized as having value in the treatment of leprosy, but it has been difficult to find a rlvative of the oil which the patient could assimilate. This at last seems to have been found. Dr. Rowe’s new department of sanitation will undertake to place the results of these experiments in the hands of Latin-American governments, some of which face very severe leprosy problems. Arrangements have also been made tot some of these governments to receltra small quantities of the improved oil. WORKS BETTER THAN WORDS. That practical assistance in solving their problems Is what many of the Latin-American peoples most appreciate seems to be the basic conviction of Dr. Rowe’s administration. This is an lde* which seems also to be entertained by many other students of our relations with Latin-America. It has long been our custom to send diplomatic missions on battleships to the Southern republics. These have always been received with the greatest courtesy; speeches expressing the most profound friendship in the most eloquent terms have been exchanged, and innumerable toasts have been drunk to the future amity of the Western hemisphere. At the same time, our actual diplomatic and military maneuvers in Latin-America have not always confirmed in the minds of the Southern peoples the Impression of disinterested friendship which our words have conveyed. No doubt administrative blunders are inevitable In a country which changes its management of affairs every little while, but it Is hard to heal gunshot wounds with words. On the other hand, practical constructive heJp in sanitation and education does tend to soothe outraged ' feelings and restore shaken confidence.
