STOCK MARKET TONE STEADY United States Rubber Strong Feature of Early Trade. NEW TORK, April B.—Trading wsi unusually quiet at the opening of the stock market today. The undertone was steady. United States Rubber was a strong feature on the declaration of the usual quarterly dividends and rose 1 point to 72. Steel common sold up % of a point to 81%. Mexican Petroleum, after vielding % of a point to 139, rose to 139%. Royal Dutch rose 1% points to 59. Reading was strongest of the rails, advancing % of a point to 68. Northern Pacific receded moderately to 75%. while Southern Pacific had a slight advance to 74. Studebaber was quiet, ranging between 76% and 77. , General Asphalt yielded % of a point and Sears-Roebuck rose % of a point. , There was little action in the stock market during the first hour, outside being extremely small and the of room traders confined to issues. States Steel sold off to 80%. f a loss of %of a point from the opening and then rallied to 80%. International Harvester had a further decline to 83, a loss of 2 points so far for the day. Mexican Petroleum found support, after declining to 139 and rallied to MO%. ** (By Thomson ft McKinnon.) —April 7 The unfavorable news from England was undoubtedly a factor of some consequence In Thursday's narket. The apparent ending of negotiations and the public appeal of Lloyd George shows clearly that the situation there is strained As has been customary recently the trading element was ready to take full advantage of this news and sold stocks rather freely, but there was no serious impresston made on values. It becomes daily more apparent that the public has confidence in the future of the market, and as a result there is a fair supply of buying orders every day at recessions, and it is this demand which gives the market its stability and enables it to stand the numerous shocks that have been recently experienced. In the early trading Mexican Petroleum was a feature. Shorts covered commitments because of the very flattering report published by the president of the company. The weak feature of the day was Central Leather, and as selling orders in this stock appeared, discussion was resumed of the likelihood of a further shrinkage in the values of inventories and the passing of the preferred dividend. The money rate was favorable. but, strange to say, the supply of funds was not as ample as heretofore, though there is a little increase in the offerings ot time funds. Business during the greater part of the day was very moderate. We entertain a favorable opinion as to the ultimate result, and we regard the market in a favorable position to respond to any betterment in the news. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

SLUMP STRIKES GRAIN FUTURES Sluggish Demand Principal Market Influence. CHICAGO, April B.—Grain prices slumped in trading on the Chicago grain mart today because of a sluggish demand. Provisions were lower. May wheat opened at $1.36, down %c and slumped to $1.34% at the close. July wheat started at $1.12%, up %c and later slid off %c. May corn opened at 60%c, up %c and dropped %c at the close. July corn opened up %c and 64%c nnd lost %c at the close. September corn opened up % at 66%c and closed down %e. May oats opened at 37%c, up %c and dropped %c at the close. July oats opened unchanged at 39%c and closed off Vic. September oats opened up %c at 40%c and closed down %c. (By Thomson ft McKinnon.) —April 8— Wheat —While the Government report on wheat does not fully corroborate the private estimates which we have had, the trade remembers that there have been excellent rains over entire belt since the report was compiled. Further than this, it is argued that the estimated yield is based ou an average abandonment of acreage, while it is believed that the abandonment this year will be much less than an average. In other words, the report is accepted as bearish. It was noticeable, however, that there was no important selling following the issuance of the report, presumably because of the wJillpgness of the foreign buyer to accept offerings of the new crop on the present level of prices. Export business was entirely missing yesterday. Cash wheat has ruled a little slow, but at unchanged premiums, namely from 10 to 16 over the May for the better grades. There were advices from Nebraska showing a rather thorough cleaning up of old wheat, although this State Is ordinarily one of the last to complete marketing. Judging from the small offerings by the country, this same condition exists elsewhere. The market is not likely to develop any important action until there oe new incentive. Corn and Oati- Practically all trans actions In corn and oats are in the way changing hedgings and holdings from one delivery to another. There are no development to revive general interest in these markets. It seems to be the feeling that prices are low enough, but it is commonly acknowledged that there Is no motive for higher prices, at least none apparent at this time. Provisions -Dullness characterizes the provision market, even in the cash trade. Hedging sales bv small packers and a little liquidation find uuimportaut support.

‘PRODIGAL SON CHRIST’S AGENT OF REPENTANCE’ (Continued on Page Two.) “The sheep was lost because it wandered away, and the coin was lost because someone in the house was careless. It's up to you to see that there is no one lost in your house through your carelessness. “In my Judgment the prodigal eon was a prodigal before he spent a cent of his money, and before he even went to his father for his share of money. “WHO WENT AFTER j PRODIGAL SON?” “When the sheep went astray, a man went for it, and when the coin was lost a woman found it, but the prodigal son, who went nfter him ? Nobody. Jesus was teaching the magnanimity of repentance, The prodigal son was a moral agent and he came home when he repented. “Nobody comes home without repentance. The prodigal son had to walk home, as no one went after him In a golden chariot. You say his father ran to meet him. Yes. And your Father will run to meet you if you’ll but come home. “When you come home there’ll be Joy in heaven. But the coming belongs to you." “This is my last chance to make nn appeal to you in this theater,” said the evangelist in appealing for those members of his audience “who had not yet come, home" to now acknowledge their Christ. “Do yon want to leave this campaign or have the campaign leave you just as you were when It starter?” ha asked. The gipsy’s appeal was answered by hundreds of persons. ALL-AMERICAN NIGHT STAGED. TOO. Indianapolis had her all-American meeting in the Gipsy Smith tabernacle last Saturday evening. Last night she poured out her patriotic fervor again in what might be termed an all-allies demonstration. Grasping the war as one of the great battles in the progress of the word ol Almighty God, Gipsy Smith gave a long, but intensely gripping recital of gome of his own experiences as a Y. M. C. A. worker with the British forces at the front during three long years of his work of saving souls for the Master. Standing with head erect, his piercing black eyes flashing, he waved aloft a small silk Union Jack in one hand and the Stars nnd Stripes in the other, while the greatest crowd of the Smith meetings sang one verse of the immortal national anthem of the two English speaking countries with the words of “America” and another with the lines of “God Save the King.” Even during the war the hymn was not lifted to such sublime heights ns last night. CHAMPIONS UNION OF BRITAIN AND C. S. The evangelist, who upon several occa- ! sions has declared the Indianapolis choir I to be the best he has hud in America, was moved to say in tones of awed admiration nfter a particularly effective piece of singing that it is the best of bis life. Then, waving to the two flags, Gipsy, in solid earnestness said: “Any man who would say one word to divide those two flags, to bring discord ; between those two peoples over which they float, is an enemy to the race and lj the foe of Almighty God. Say all you can to cement these two peoples aud say nothing to dlyide them." The rafters echoed with the cheering I How a t"ue man of God regards the ; Germans was revealed by Gipsy in no j uncertain light. With a bitterness which j has crept into hts discourse only while j speaking of the devil and other loath- j some objects he excoriated the German people. He had the fear that America is forgetting why the war was fought because America no longer has ever present with her the scars of the conflict as has England France. But Gipsy Smith must have gone to rest last night confident that ludianapolls has not forgotten, that Indianapolis feels like he did when he said: “I've been opposing war all my life. I hate war. But If there ever was a conflict that was Justified it was this war against the greed, the lust, the murder, the blood, the cruelty, the wantonness of Germany. The Germans outraged the soul of the world! “But you say: ‘Don’t yon forgive them?' Yes—when they repent. That's; the only way Christ forgives; when men | repent. That’s the way I forgive. The I only sorrow tho Germans have shown I Is the sorrow of a thief who Is found out I before ho gets w hat he wants. Think of j the millions upon millions of bereaved wives, and mothers and sweethearts, and the Germans have never yet expressed any sorrow!
GERMANY MUST BE FORCED. “Talk of forgiving Germany! Germany will do nothing that she is not made to do and she ought to be made to rebuild every ruined home in France.” The monster gathering lndirsed every ,-ord on this passionate denunciation of the Germans. All the war-time hatred of things Teutonic was played upon and brought back to life time after time. It was ’’free will offering” night and the audience responded handsomely to an appeal of A. M. Glossbrenner, chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Glosshrenner explained that no sum whatever had been guaranteed the evangelist, who said before he came to Indianapolis that he came on the Lord’s work and that whatever the people chose to give him would be very satisfactory. ft was necessary to block the entrances. Crowds of people stood outside the dorways hoping to catch a word and n glimpse now and then. The meeting was begun fifteen minutes early. THE MAYOR SAYS A WORD. The Rev. W. L. Ewing of the Irvington Methodist Church gave the invocation. Gipsy Smith espied Mayor Charles W. Jewett sitting to the left of the platform with Felix M. McWhtrter, member of the board of public safety, and .Mrs. Jewett, and he brought the chief executive to the pulpit. There the mayor expressed the thanks of Indianapolis and himself for the “good Christian work” that Gipsy Smith has done. “I am sure that nothing has happened in the last quarter of a century that has done more, not only for the religious, but also for the civic uplift of the community.” He said that no man could draw an audience like this for any purpose If he were not honest and sincere. “I firmly believo that no man could exert such an influence over the lives of me# cause God would not let him do it.” WANTED TO ENLIST BUT WAS REJECTED. Opening his sermon with an outline of Britain's desperate struggle to hold back Germany until she could raise and equip an army the evangelist told how he tried to get Into the fighting forces and was rejected because of his age. He went into the Y. M. C. A., and started preaching to countless boys through the medium of a cup of hot coffee or tea and a sheet of letter paper. He asked how many ex-service boys there were In the audience. A thick sprinkling arose. The speaker kept them standing while he delivered a ringing tribute. “I want to say one word to you. In the name of humanity, and this vast audience, we owe you a debt we never can repay. We thank God for your comrades who fell and for you who came back. You did a glorious thing for the Nation when you offered your life for It. Now you can do a bigger thing for your Nation. Yoq can live your life for it. You can do the bigger thing. The braver
Home Run Drives by Gipsy Smith " ‘Who won the first battle of the Marne?’ I would ask the boys, and they would answer: *God, sir! God!’” “When I say ‘the boys’ I’d like to spell It in golden capitals and deck every last letter with rubies and sapphires.” “No night on this platform have I advertised my church. I have advertised Jesus.” “No boy went over the top without a prayer on h* 9 Up 9 , no matter how wicked he had been. I asked hundreds of them, and they always told me the same thing.” “Boys over there could understand n religion of service who couldn’t understand a religion of words; and some of you talk a lot. Some of you talk too much.” “A lot of yon people think you are not doing anything spiritual unless you have a hymn book In one hand, the Bible in the other and are singing ‘Come to Jesus.’ I call that crowd ‘The Lord’s awkward squad.’ ” “I don’t believe God Almighty ever meant for any man to be a stick—not even an ecclesiastic ” “If we do not win the boys who came back it is because they do not believe in us, not because they do not believe in Jesus.”

Good man, you know,” he said, “but Just had no gumption. I like that word. Good old English word. Gumption! He had no gumption and he said, ‘Sister, stop pouring ttjpt coffee and let's first put in a word for Jesus.’ “The woman protested that the boyß were cold and worn out. “’You stop right now and put in a word for Jesus,’ ordered the awkward squader, somewhat petulantly. “And a lanky soldier drawled: "Gwan.

The services will be brought to a close with meetings in the Tabernacle Sunday afternoon and evening. Tonight the preacher will deliver one of his most cherished sermons, “From Tent to Pulpit.” Another record-breaking crowd was expected.
