STOCK MARKET SHOWS STRENGTH Leading Issues Make Gains of Up to 1 Point and More. NEW YORK, March 30.—The stock market continued to show Improvement at the opening tody, gv.’us ranging np to over 1 point being mi de In tending issues. The rails were in active demand. Readme advancing over 1 point to 71%. while Northern Pacific rose nearly 1 point to 79%. Kansas City Southern. New Haven. Southern Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio also showed good Improvement. Steel common rose % of a point to 82%. and Crucible sold trp to 89%. A. T. * T. reected 1 point under profit taking to 107%. Pittsburgh Coal was unusually active, celling op 1% points to <52%. gears-Roebuck, after advancing to 60%, dropped to 88%. General Asphalt rose 1% points to TTie oil and motor share* showed fractional upturns. The stock market continued active with irregular movement in prices through the first hour, but speculative interest was diverted to the petroleum shares with many of the low priced oil stocks in demand on an unusually large sea'-- at substantial gains. White Oil as, one of the prominent features, advanced 1% points to 18% and Trans continental moved np 1 point to above 11. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —March 30— Corporate dividends was the most interesting topic at the moment. The Consolidated Textile Joined the nonpayera’ list, but as in the case of other similar announcements, the action wag well autlcipated and therefore was of no inflaence in the market. Attention Is now centered on united States Rubber, with the action on the dividend decidedly nneertain, though the weakness of the stock would Indicate that a deviaion is anticipated by traders. The surprise of the day was the advance in the dividend rate by the A. T. & T. This announcement was Immediately followed by a considerable demand for the stock and a wither sharp advance in value. The announcement that a number of copper companies have suspended operations Is a logical result of severe depression that has prevailed. In the end this will prove beneficial, since there is no use of producing while supplies are oppressive, and it Is not good business to keep cutting the price when there is no demand. By the present action the relation between supply and demand will be adjusted and the price will In time reach a level where there will be a profit In Its production. In other lines we are dally getting confirmation of improvement, and In this connection it is Interesting to note that the Goodyear Rubber Company are preparing to increase proudetion of tires by 80 per cent. The market continues to give a good account of itself. The selling la readily absorbed and the trend seems to be definitely, though lrregalarly, higher. We continue to favor the purchase of stocks on declines. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, March 30—Twenty Industrial stocks averaged 77.13, up .93 per cent.

There was a top of $10.75 on a veryfew good light hogs and the bulk of sales for the early forenoon trade was [email protected]. Most of the hogs that were sold were bought on the same schedule that prevailed on the Tuesday market, but along about half of the receipts had been gold up to a late hour In the forenoon and a poor clearance for the day was predicted. What trading there was was of a general nature, with the shippers with eastern orders taking about 1,000 and the local packers and other buyers about 1,500 or 2,000. Weakness again prevailed sc the opening of the cattle market, with another fairly heavy run of cattle and a very poor demand. Most buyers were bidding 26 to 50 cents lower on all butcher grades except the poorer kinds. Bulls, however, were not as low as tbe other grades of cattle. Prices were generally slow and steady to 30 cents lower. Up to r late hour in the forenoon but little trading had been done. Commission men staled that there was little hope of a better tore to rattle trade so long as the buying power of the general public is low and as long as there Is a general weakness In the other principal cattle markets of the country. Packers are of the opinion that they cannot afford to buy any cattle at the prevailing prices. Calf prices were steady to 50c higher than the market of the day before, with poor grades about steady and medium good and choice calves 50c higher There were a few sales at $11.50. but the bulk of the choice calves brought slo® 11.

GRAINS CLOSE AT DECLINES Bottom Quotations Reached in Final Trade. CHICAGO, March 80. —It was a bear day In the grain market, prices for the list working gradually lower and closing at the bottom. News was extremely bearish and with buying power absent, selling was Unusually aggressive. Wheat, corn and oats dropped Into new low territory. Provisions closed higher. Resting prices for March wheat were at declines of 3%@3%c. May lost, 3®3%c and July. 4%®5%c. May corn was 2%@2%c off, July, 2% @2%c lower and September 2%®2%c down. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) , —March 30— Wheat—A second night of freezing temperatures over the entire wheat belt, and reports of liberal export sales Imparted firmness to the wheat market early Tuesday. The concensus of reports from the country being to the effect that little. If any. damage had been done, overcame the early strength. Crop news receives more than the usual attention because of very close adjustment between world’s requirements and surpluses, Brooinhal] estimating a margin of only 36.000.000 bushels. The attention given the crop news Is warranted, but the developing strength In the cash situation is not receiving sufficient consideration. Despite the failure of the flour demand to become urgeut, choice wheat In every market is Increasing Its premiums over the May delivery. In Minneapolis, Canadian wheat is selling at 45c over May and It Is claimed that Minneapolis mills are buyers in southwestern markets. It Is to be noticed that the March delivery has increased Us premiums over the May. This is simply a reflection of the strength of the cash wheat and is not in any way artificial or manipulative. Inasmuch as experts are going on steadily and the visible supply is decreasing each week, we fail to see why the May wheat should maintain its present discount. We believe the cash situation in Itself, to say nothing of cron uncertainty, warrants a higher level or values Corn and Oats—With the exception of a few claims of damage to oats by freezing. there have been no developments In the markets. It Is noticeable now, as for some time past, that larger cash handlers are sellers particularly of corn on every small advance In prices. These grains may be considered as relatively cheap, but we submit that this one proposition in Itself is not an abiding reason for expecting higher priceß. The accumulated load in terminal elevators is too large to be overcome. Provisions—Extreme dullness characterizes the provision list, smaller packers having products for sale whenever there is any appearance of strength. CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 30WHEAT— Open. High. Low.

CANAL CAPACITY FOR SHIPS LARGE Panama Waterway Can Handle 16,550 Vessels Annually. SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.—Under normal conditions the annual maximum capacity of the Panama Canal, is 16,550 ships. Those figures have been computed for San Frnnclsco shipping Interests by Jay J. Morrow, acting Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, who gave the following explanation of the Canal’s capacity. “Considering the size of the ships which pass through the Canal with their effect on the possibility of handing two or more vessels together in a lockage, the number of lockages which can be completed In a day, the factor of operating officlency, and the necessity of closing one of the twin flights from time to time for overhaul, repairs, etc., the computed theoretical maximum under normal coalitions Is 16,550 ships in a year. “The commercial vessels which have passed through the Canal to date have averaged approximately 3,300 net tons. Panama Canal measurement, per vessel, and about 2,700 net tors, according to the rules of registry’ in their various countries, per vessel. As it Is on such vessels that the estimate of capacity has been ’nade, the annual capacity would be approximately 49,660,(XX) not tons, Canal measurement, or 44,685,000 net tons, registry measurement—say 60,000,000 and 45,000,000 respectively. “The cargo handled by the commercial ships passing through, the Canal has averaged approximately 3,825 tons per ship, including vessels in ballast. In the some proportion 10,550 ships would handle 63,303,750 tons of cargo, but this hgure would be increased by heavier loading."

DENVER, Colo., March 30.—“ Love In a chicken coop," substituted for the better known Cupid brand of “Lore In a cottage," proved disastrous here for William F.ohl and bis schoolgirl sweetheart, Helen Kennedy.

THE PAS, Manitoba. March 30. Premier Meighen’s announcement that the Dominion government will complete rhe Hudson Bay Railway has interested western Canada. The work this year Is expected to be mostly in repair and maintenance and it is thought the road will be finished next year. It will be 425 miles long and will connect The Pas with Port Nelson on Hudson Bay. All but a last link of eighty miles of track has Been laid. The road will build Port Nelson into a great seaport and will shorten by 1,000 miles the rail haul of grain bound for Europe from all points in westeran Canada. It will materially increase profits on all exports from the West, decrease costs on all Imports and open up a vast territory rich l n minerals, timber and Curs. Its one disadvantage in competition with other roads Is that export shipments can be made through Port Nelson only fiTe months ln the year during which Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits are open for navigation. Especially to the farmers of western Canada will the road be a godsend, and It is believed the opening of this tidewater line will greatly stimulate settlement of Hudson Bay Company land and other vast areas of good farming country In the prairie provinces. To the farmer, It Is estimated tbe road will mean a saving of 10 cents in transportation charges on every bushel of grian shipped to Europe. German Lottery Scheme Revealed MANCHESTER, N. H .

STUDENT FIRED; SCHOOL STRIKES Dancing Party Leads to Sympathetic Walkout. TELLURIDE, Colo, March SO--A “strike" of students ln the local high school resulted when one of the boy pupils was suspended because of his connection with a dancing party. Every boy ln the school “went out** first, and they were soon joined by several girl students. A complete cessation of scholastic activities was threatened for several days. The trouble arose over a dancing party which was given by some of the high school boys in honor of the members of a visiting high school debating team composed of three young glrla. According to school rules, no social affairs on school nights shall last later than 10:30 o’clock. The dancing party was not given in the gymnasium, where such affairs are usually staged, but was held in an outside dancing pavilion. This breach was deplored by school authorities. but the real bone of contention was the allegation of Superintendent G. H. Bonner, that after the party, which was properly chaperoned by members of the faculty, had broken up at 10:30 p. m. t many of the students of the school returned to the pavilion and continued to woo Terpsichore unil the wee sma’ hours of the following morning. Asa result, the student who acted s chairman of the entertainment committee was asked for an explanation of tae affair and, fellow students declare, lsp was threatened with expulsion. \ The student body of boys called upon the superintendent, demanding the youth’s immediate reinstatement, but this waa refused, and the “walkout" started.

PRINCE O’ WALES ASKED FOR AID LONDON March 80. Considerable mystification was caused at S4. James, palace recently by the receipt there of numerous letters from France, each letter begging the Prince of Wales to make the writer a gift, the articles mentioned varying from bicycles to motorcycles. It now transpires that when the prince recently received Georges Carpentler at his residence and gave the French boxer his autograph the French press, In reporting the incident, by some strange error converted “autograph” Into “automobile'’ and by so doing apparently spread the Impression that the Prince of Wales was a multi-millionaire and a benefactor to all and sundry. ■The prince has received scores of letters suggesting that If he has sufficient of this world’s wealth to give Carpentler an auto would he condescend to bestow qpon the writers a bicycle, a two-seater, ->r some other suitable present. Even High Cost of ‘Flops’ Takes Tumble CHICAGO. March SO.—The high cost of "flops,” which during war-time prosperity reached 35 and even 50 cents, is down to 25 and 15 cents. All of which means that it is cheaper to be a ‘‘gentleman of leisure” now in Chicago since 200,000 unemployed have joined the order. “The nickel flop of ante-bellum days soon will be back,” prophesies Dr. Ben L. Reitman, medical director of the Hobo College. "The best flops where a man has room to take off his shirt are down to 25 cents, and If the guest Is willing to go out In the corridor for room in which tv get out of his shirt he need pay only 15 rents. Prohibition and the approach of spring will send the prices even lower. In my opinion.” Paints Taxicab to Pay His Fare PARIS, March 30.— Paris probably has the only futurist taxicab In the world and it occupies a prominent place near the operd.

He suggested to the chauffeur that he “work out” the sum by painting futurist designs on the sides of the taxi. The chauffeur consented and held a candle while the artist worked.
