STOCK MARKET CLOSES STEADY Many Issues React From Early High Figures. NEW YORK, April 16—The stock market closed steady today, although many Issues reacted from fractions to 1 point on profit taking sates. United States Steel declined to St>4. while Crucible yielded 1% points to/80%. Mexican Petroleum, after selling up to 144%, dropped to 14*%. Sears-Roebuck dropped 1% points to 76%. The railroad shares receded fractionally. Total sales of stocks were 331,000;, bonds. $5,096,000. Total sales of stocks for the week were 3,203,000; bonds, S4S, 158,000. '(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 16— Today's market was' a fairly good one, although it was to a great extent professional. Commission houses were not particularly active, while the professional elements were still disposed to reduce commitments, and were fair buyers' of many of the leading issues. The offerings became a little freer later in session. People's Gas was one of the striking features of the market. This issue has been responding to the'aecumulation that has been in evidence for some time, aud In common with mujiy of the public service corporations, with their troubles largely in the past, have a brighter future. The news of the day was. In file main, favorable. It is quite evident that the administration is determined to solve some of our present problems and will no doubt exercise its influence in adjusting conflicting views in regard to railroad operations, including the matters of wages Industrially, however, on change has occurred, and there is nothing at present to indicate any immediate revival in the steel and iron Industry. This must come before we can expect general prosperity la this country. It is more than likely that we will have an irregular sto k market for several months, during which time ralles and recessions will follow each other, offering trading opportunities, but v A see nothing at this time that is likely to give us an Important move In the market.

Stock Market Review I NEW YORK, April 16—The Sun's financial review today said: “Today’s short session of the stock market failed to reflect the vigorous advance in railroad and industrial shares alike which featured Friday's market. “There was Indeed a strong tone to the list, particularly among railroad shares and In the oil group. “The coppers did pretty well also. Indeed the entire list was substantially above the closing level of yesterday. “The volume of transaction was limited. The moderate gains of the first half of tha* session were In the main cancelled later on. The oils and coppers seemed to hold better, perhaps, than the other industrial groups. The rails. like- ! wise, yielded up most of the first hour’s advance aud in the list, as a whole, net. fractional recessions were the rule rather than the exception. “There was a substantial rally In Chicago grain prices, May and July wheat I options recovering more than 4 and 3 cents a bushel respectively. Cotton was j steady to firm.’’ N. Y. Stock Prices Prev. HighLowClose Close j Ad.-Rumely Cos. 17% 17% 17% •••• jA. Jajax R ... 33% 33% 33% 33% 1 Allis-Chalmers 37% 37 37 36% i Am.

GRAIN VALUES MAKE GAINS i Reports of Heavy Crop Damage Influences Market, CHICAGO, April 10.—Grain prices advanced on the Chicago board of trade today due to reports of neavy crop damage in tho storm which swept the I wheat belt. j After a strong opening, seme of the j corn quotations closed weakly. However, generally the grain prices i followed the lead of wheat, which was : up front 3 to 6 cents. Provisions were higher. May wheat opened up 2%c at $1.25 and closed up 3%e. July wheat opened up ■ 2%c at $1.08% and closed up %c. May corn opened up %c at 56*%c and closed down %c. July corn opened up at 60%c and closed up l%c. September corn opened at 63%c, up %c and closed up %c. May oats opened up %c at 36%c and closed up TsC. July oats opened up %c at 37%e and closed up %c. September oats opened at 38%e, up %c, aud closed up %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 10— Wheat —Inclement weather over the i wheat ldt, improvement in the British | labor crisis and, above all thiujjs, pros- | pective enactment of duties on imports ! tion produced a strong broad market in i wheat. Temperatures as low as 20 were reported In Kansas and the Government bulletin announces freezing temperatures as far south as Texas panhandle, with 1 forecast of freezing temperatures over the entire belt tonight. The advance In ! prices has checked the export demand, j none the less there is an improvement in , the demand from the millers, resulting i In higher premiums for current receipts, i Accumulations in Chicago are uulmpor- : taut and it Is believed that goodly porI tlon Is under contract for shipment East. I The movement this way is not large i enough to build up any stocks. Asa ' reflection of this condition it is to be In ted that elevator Interests, exporters *a mi cash handlers generally were buyers iof May wheat. Inasmuch as the pro?.it i cold w'ave Is the third one to appear since crop secured a good growth, we direct your attention to yesterday s statement lof the Modern Miller that the improvement where frozen down was not as good as had been expected. Unless some dis- , turbing news from abroad, the market is , likely to make a further good response to the Improving cash demand and a particularly quick reflection of n severe freeze. Corn and Oats—Considering the widespread Idea of lower prices in corn and oats, because of poor demand and enormous accumulations, the markets have made a very gratifying showing to those who believe bearish Items have been dis counted. On the question of the visible supply we want to mention that tlcse accumulations were built up when prices were considerable higher, as buyers had I completely withdrawn The eountrv ! s ! not selling at the present time and It is quite likely that tin* firmness of the present market will Improve the disturbing demand. We feel that these markets ore entitled to consideration from a a lQvesti r's stand; olnt Provisions —The factors surrounding the srain markets were operative In provisions to the extent of inducing n little i short covering and eh * king liquidation. There Is no improvement worth while in the cash trade.

Bandit Problem Meets Grim Solution In China Indianapolis Woman Tells of Oriental Idea of Strict Justice .

Citizens who have been held up by pistol-armed highwaymen during the present crime wave may leel inclined to approve the method of punishing bandits which the province of Fengtien, China, uses. Miss Helen Rosenfeld. former stenographer in the office of the board of public safety at the city hall, xvho left eight months ago to take a position with the Standard Oil Company in Moukden, China, tells of'the punishment in a letter to George W. Williams, executive secretary of the board of public safety. Intimate glimpses of life in the Chinese city are contained in Miss Uosenfeld's letter, which compares some Moukden scenes with places in Indianapolis. LIFE IN' ORIENT NEVER TIRESOME. “By this time.’’ she writes, “I am quite a Chinaman and the sights that awed me when I was a newcomer seem ordinary now. In other words, a trip across half the world and six months' residence in China have made me rather biase. Nevertheless, life out hare has not become tiresome. In fact, I enjoy it very much and it is interesting beyond my anticipations. I am sure that if I lived here five years I would see something new every day and there seems to be something about the Orient that is alluring, even with all the dirt and fiilth that predominates In a Chinese city. “Teh city of Moukden is one of the important cities of Manchuria,*'being a railroad center. I was more than surprised at Its modern features in more than one respect. This Is especial* so in the Japanese concession, where one finds wide, well laid out streets, yblch are electrically lighted with very nice buildings. The international settlement, too, Is quite nice. Os course that is aecunted for by the fact that the foreigners live l that partof the city and pride themseldves on making their neighborhood pleasing to the eye as well as comfortable. “The Staidard Oil Company has just completed the erection of modern offices, as well as up-to-date residences for their employes. Really, when one is Inside the homes or offices, it Is hard to tell whether one is in China or the States. INTEREST CENTERS IN NATIVES. "But, )yhen one is in a foreign country, the Interest oentersabout the natives and their ways, and I never tire of going into Oie real Chinese city, for there one sees the intimate side of Chinese life. The main street boasts of a tram ear -small cars pulled by three ponies. During the busy part of the day, when all # of the rickshas and carts are out. Is Is more difficult to propel oneself through the traffic than on Washington street on a Saturday afternoon. Xhe streets are narrow, of course, some of them being mere alleys, and the shops about each other, leaving precious little space to be wasted. The shopkeepers seem to vie with each other iu hanging out brightly colored signs, with the result that one's gaze is greeted by a

blaze of color, flgnres portraying different trades and Chinese characters. Besides the shops, peddlers display their wares outside, keeping up an Incessant cry throughout the day. On top of this noise and colorful atmosphere try to imagine the different odors that come from the ‘chow’ houses along the street and you have a faint idea of a typical street in China. “History speaks of this country now as a republic, but it is really a monarchy of the most rigid kind. Chang-Tso-lin, the governor Moukden and Fengtien Province, is really an uncrowned king and governs the people just as he pleases. EIGHTEEN BANDITS PUBLICLY EXECUTED. “If you like gruesome stories, here’s one that is a prize-winner, and though it may sound like a ‘story,’ it is an absolute fact. Eighteen bandits, who had robbed and mistreated some of Chang Tso-Lin’s spldiers, were arrested and executed publicly on the parade grounds, within a stone's throw of our house. They were not merely shot or beheaded, but put in bonds and the flesh sliced from their bodies until they were dead. It doesn’t seem possible that in this day and age such atrocities should take place, but I suppose that is their idea of Justice. _ “I attended my first real Chinese dinner about a week ago, and though all the dishes were not as appetizing as they are around your own table, I enjoyed it immensely. The Standard Oil Company gives a feast to its agents every year and by special concession this year a few ladies were allowed to be present. Os course, it is against custom for ladies to sit at the same table or even in the same room with the men, but we were in an adjoining room and could see all that was taking place, as well as partaking of all the food.

CENTURY EGGS DELICACY. "Without exaggeration thr* were abont thirty-five courses, most prominent among them being such delicacies as shark’s fins, bird s nest soup, sr-a slugs, lotus seed salad and century eggs. Century eggs are eggs that have been packed in lime and buried in the ground for years and years. The only that we were given were sjia'l silver bowls and chop sticks. The food is put in the center of the table in large bowls and the table etiquette, as wa know it, is entirely forgotten, for everyone reaches out into the center of the table nad helps himself to whatever looks appetizing, and so the dinner progresses. “The foreign community is growing rapidly and time certainly doesn't lag here. The club is the center of social life and there is nearly always something to do. There are large tennis courts on the grounds. These were flooded this winter and I enjoyed some excellent skating. We are not altogether isolated from the theatrical world, either, so: we have movies once a we dt at the club. The club owns a machine and the pictures are rented from a theater in Tientsin.” Marriage Licenses T.'wrenee Schreiner, 6 W. Louisiana... 23 Blanche Cummings. 6 W.
