(ByThomson & McKinnon.) —April 15 — Today the professional element met with a surprising change in the market At the close yesterday sentiment locally was more bearish than in some time, and traders, as a rule, were said to have been heavily committed on the short side of the market, and as the news up to the time of the opening’ of our market was satisfactory traders found a scarcity of stocks, and as the demand from this element increased prices moved forward sharply. The action of the market was entirely logical, and in harmony with the overnight developments. The rails were benefited py theannouneement issued by the labor board frith reference to the ending of the existing contracts, which have been highly unfavorable to the railroads. and very costly. When the market has completed its re- j actionary move in response to the news ! of the day, then, of necessity, it will have to rest again on fundamentals of j which the state of trade constitutes the j main part of the foundation, and the I question arises whether there is any- . thing in the existing situation that will j promote greater confidence than has re- j ceutly prevailed and greater investment ( demand for stocks. This, at best, is doubtful, and we are | inclined to look for farther irregularity. T WENT T STOCKS AVERAGE, NEW YORK. April 15—Twenty Indus- j trial stocks averaged 75.06, off .87 per cent.

GRAIN FUTURES ' SHOW STRENGTH After a Weak Opening Prices Gain Fractionally. CHICAGO, April 15 —Grains were generally highor in trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The market was dull at the opening, but the increase in prices came when large commission houses made purchases. Provisions followed the upward trend of grains. May wheat opened at $1.21%, oft %c, and gained %c at the close. July wheat opened at $1.05%, off %c, and closed up %c. May corn opened off %e at 95%c'*hnd dropped %c additional at the close. July Com opened up %c at 59%c and gained another %c at the close. September corn opened unchanged at 51%c, and closed up %c. May oats opened at 35%c off %c, and closed at that figure. July oats opened unchanged at 36%c and closer} up %c. September oats opened unchanged at 37%c and closed up %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 15 — Wheat—A possible clearing up of the English demand has been largely responsible for a better feeling in the grain market, although it cannot be said that there is any marked improvement in the demand for future requirements. The values have hlso been helped by considerable firmness in cash wheat in all markets, with Indications of a better demand from interior mills, and by a scarcity of offerings from the Southwestern producing section. I‘reinluius for cash wheat have ruled strong in all markets, likewise In the export bidß for shipment via the gulf. The news from tho growing crop shows a slight change to thq extent that the improvement in the area where frozen down is not as rapid us had been expected. Receipts at terminals are fairly liberal, but this seems to be the result of last week’s liquidation by the country, rather than a result of new selling. The condition and appearance the growing crop of winter wheat could not well be improved upon. This has been the case since the advent of growing weather. It is therefore sate tJ assume that it has bad full influence and tho market is now in position to recognize any change In the character of the news. If a complete settlement of the British troubles can be secured, we feel that buyers will be more confident and the market will experience a better demand from every source. Corn and Oat9 —Export inquiry for corn, and a little improvement In the domestic demand, are sentimental help in the markets. Further than this, the hedging load seems to be well distributed and not likely to be dislodged at the prese.nt level of prices. The country is uot disposed to selh freely of reserves. There should boa further improvement in the distributing demand. If so, values ought to respond moderately. Provisions—Tho foreign news has served to check liquidating sales in the provision market. However, there is no particular improvement in tho cash trade and hte market Is likely to encouater hedging sales on all small advances.

‘HUBBY HOLDERS’ CLUB IN PARIS Women Taught to Keep Love of Mates. PARIS, April 15.—The strangest secret society on record—an organization to teach women past middle age how to hold the lore of tbelr husbands—has just been launched in Paris. Its sponsor is the Countess Andree de Travernay. She admits that she Is 41 years old, but not a one of her male admirers will believe her. She has grouped about her, she says, some of, the best known women in French society, whose names are as secret as the bylaws and advice issued by the organization. The new society is known as the “French Charm Club.” It has just be-,, gun issuing a mysterious book whose chapters comes out serially. It Is never to reach the eyes of m:,n until years after the death of every member. “I have taken a hint from the American correspondence schools,” says the countess. “To make sure that no part of the book falls into the hands of a man I mall out one chapter for members of the society to read and when they finish witn that they send it back to me by registered mail and I send on the next chapter. Each time a member sends back her copy she renews her solemn pledge never to let the book out of her possession.” Only the introduction to the mysterious love book is public property. It is w - rltten by the countess herself, though members of the society will contribute to several chapters. HANG ON TO CHARM, IS ADVICE. “Women of 40 and over,” says the preface, “you must learn how to charm your husbands if you are to keep them. Nothing is easier. Always remember that It is the woman of 40, ripe with experience in love, who most often awakes the affections of youth when love comes to youth intuitively. Retain your charm and you have nothing to fear from frivolous young girls.” The love book will have chapters on the care of the complexion and the hair, how to dress and how to retain a youthful figure. One chapter, the countess announces, will deal with “The Best Loved Man in Paris,” a figure in real life and will recount the experiences of many women, both under and over 40, who tried to capture his heart.

BROWN GETS 4 MEN ON CABINET Hughes Ties Up Record With Harvard. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April 13.—With the appointment of Charles E. Hughes, a graduate of the class of ISSI, Brown University now has the distinction of having four graduates who became Secretaries of State. Only two colleges, Harvard and Princeton, have equalled this record. Brown's per capita production for the State portfolio is unique—roughly. one Secretary of State for every 2,000 graduates.

Marcy, 1853; Richard Olney, 1595; John Hay, 1898, 1901; Charles E. Hnghes, 1921. Harvard — Thomas Pickering, 1795, 1797; John Quincy Adams, 1817; Edward Everett, 1832; Robert Bacon, 1909. Princeton— James Madison, 1801; Robert Smith, 1809; Edward Livingston, 1831; John Forsyth, 1834. 1837. Yale—Johp C. Calhoun, 1844; John M. • Clayton, 1849; William M. Evarts, 1577. William and Mary—Thomas Jefferson, 1789; Edmund Randolph, 1794; and James Monroe, 1811. Sixteen colleges have produced one Secretary of State each. Eight Secretaries of State, as far as can be determined, never went to college. Among them were John Marshall, Henry Clay and Martin Van Buren. Harvard ‘Murphys’ May Now Collect CAMBRIDGE.
