BRIGHT TONE CHARACTERIZES FOREIGN MART Dollar Rails Show Improvement in Trade Gn London Stock Exchange. MONEY STfLL PLENTIFUL LONDON, Feb. 14. —A bright tone characterized the opening of the stock market yesterday, the encouraging influence being the cheapness of money and the expectation that the bank rate soon will be reduced. British funds generally improved in the gilt edged market and some improvement was Been in foreign bonds. The home rail market had a few distinguishing features. Dollar rails improved, Canadian Pacific being marked up 1 point, but Continnental and other foreign rails were spotty. Industrials generally were without strength, but iron, steel and engineering held firm. Success of the new Shell issues had a salutary effect on the oil share market. Mexican Eagles were 4 4-16, Shells 4 7-16 and Royal Dutch 34%. Africans were still on the dull side in the mining market and Americans were irregular. There was still an abundance of credit in Lombard street and difficulty was experienced in putting money out. Money for overnight was offered at below 1 % per cent, day to day money 3 per cent and fixtures 3% iter cent. Bar silver rose to 34%d and 341 id for spot and forward delivery.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. Local Stock Exchange F e S >4 STOCKS. Bid. Ask. Ind. Ry. & Light com CO Ind.

Steel Mills Resume Big Scale Operations More furnaces Now B eing Fired Than Any Time Since Last Fall .

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 14.—Operations of plants In the iron anil steel trade are greater than any time since last fall. Prices are variable, but sheet prices are better held and there Is little cutting. The Pittsburgh Steel Company has banked a furnace that has been closed since before Christinas and has started half of its open-hearth plant of twelve furnaces. The Carnegie .Steel Company is producing iron at about 50 per cent of normal. This company recently put on a furnace at Newcastle, Pa., but on Sunday blew out one of this group, and for this week has two of its Lucy furnaces in blast. One of the latter, however, is to be blown out for relining. The Lucy furnaces are making ferromanganese and spiegeleisen. The Jones Laughlin Steel Company has seven of its twelve blast furnaces making iron and is expected to put on another at its IVoodlawn works in the near future on ferro-manganese. Os the 140 blast furnaces in the Greater Pittsburgh area, tifty-five are now in blast, the most for a year. Tin plate leads in production of finished steel, and both the Wheeling Steel Corporation and the Washington Tin Plate oCmpany have added to active capacity. Although most lines of finished 'steel are still shaded as to prices, the tendency seems to be toward a halt in price cutting. The present outlook is that the Oc-

tober rate of mill operation will le exceeded in March. Pig iron has continued (lull, with a regular sale of basic at $17.75, a decline of 25 cents per ton. and the lowest price since 3915. Malleable grades are xveakcr nt sl9, but there has been no change in Bessemer or foundry. 111 semi-finished steel lines specifications on sheet bars are coming rather well to the Carnegie Steel Company, and some of the other makers also find consumers more willing t take tonnages id. c them on contracts, lint beyond this business shows no appreciable Increase. Close prices continue to be quoted on fabricated and erected steel, based in turn upon close prices made by mills on the plain shapes. Demand for standard steel pipe is fairly good, and bettor just now than the demand for oil country tubular goods. Resumption of activity in the latter is expected by early spring, although but a little will depend upon oil prices. Tin plate continues to be the most active of the finished steel products. There is less forward buying than usual, but deliveries are well taken. The tin plate mills have produced at an average of between 79 and 75 per cent of capacity since the first of the year. The sheet industry is operating at between 45 and 59 per cent of capacity, with a widespread demand in small lots, ail buyers living xery cautious about committting themselves, and buying only what they absolutely need.—Copyright, ■ 922, by Public Ledger Company. j

STOCK MARKET CLOSES STRONG Industrial Issues Feature Final Hour of Trade. NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—The stock market. closed strong in the last hour, the industrial shares taking the place of (he railroad shares as the features of the market. The final upturn was led by United States Steel, which was bought in large blocks and sold up to 89%. Other steel shares were also strong, aiul made good gains. Railroad shares held earlier improvements and Canadian Pacific sold up to 129%, a gain of over 3 points, American Ice also made anew high at 99. -'enera Copper, after advancing to 14% fell to 13. Mexican Petroleum aain crossed 120. Government bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds strong. Total sales stocks for the day were 670,700 shares. (By Thomson Ac McKinnon.) —Feb. 14— At the opening this morning the volume was so moderate as to cause general disappointment among traders who had been inclined to anticipate an active market in response to the more favorable news from Washington with reference to bonus legislation. But, regardless of the market response, tlie fact remains that developments over the holiday were decidedly favorable, and tt now appears that sufficient opposition lias developed in the eoun: . to prevent SMch a radical system ol taxI ation as was proposed. During the greater part of, the day the trading was not general. Activity was confined mainly to a moderate number of specialties. In some iiquidatlon ! was the rule, due to particular causes ' with which the market in general is not : concerned. In a few issues there was some short I covering, this being particularly trufe in Mexican Petroleum. Rails displayed a steady tone, with a particularly good character of buying of Chicago Ac Northwestern, a road that is coming back well and may again be one of the standard properties of the country. The market in general displays a good undertone and is in a good position to respond to betterment in business, which will most likely be reported from mouth to month. We continue to entertain a favorable opinion and favor the purchase of stocks during every reactionary period. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Twenty industrial stocks last Saturday averaged 82.96, off .09 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 76.81, up .04 per cent. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

The market encountered heavy realizing by previous holders, but seems to have , absorbed all offerings, tile closing tone j being firm. Seaboard houses were buy- ; its front time 4o time, Wut the chief i buying power.came from widely scattered j sources, suggesting that the investing i trade is becoming more interested in the situation. The advance in Argentine prices was the result of heavy buying by j importing countries earlier in the season, coupled with reluctant offerings by the i producer. Liverpool strength was sympathetic. being materially helped by the j depleted stocks in English market. Seaboard exporters are non-committal as to ; the extent of business over the holiday. Some messages from there Intimate that ' all offerings were accepted. Inquiry for 1 Hour is decidedly more broad than for I some time, but actual sales are not yet large, however, it is only a matter of time when tlie domestic trade must reeog- [ nize the world's situation. Reactions in all markets, both foreign and domestic, •ire to be expected at any time, but with Russia transferred from the exporting 1 to tlie importing column, there is no surplus in the world's supplies. With this condition as a foundation we be- ; iieve decidedly more attention should be ! given to the outlook for the new crop of winter wheat. It seems to us that the July delivery should be given preference whin entering ttie market in an investment way. i.'orn and oats—The seaboard claims 500,600 to 1,000.000 bushels corn were tuk 11 for export over tlie holiday, but for the moment this is offset by the heavy movement from hands. Receipts v. re si liberal today that buyers had the advunt ig >. It is not well e> place t m mucli stress 'upon the present movement. Lr it is known that 11 goodly portion of it is already under contract for shipment abroad and it is believed that receipts will soon in _in to show a decrease. We have seen further evidence of an improvement In the southern demand for oats nnd the seaboard speaks of a small amount, sola tor export, ('ash handlers and northwestern houses were the principal buyers, while houses with country l ouiieei ions were sellers. These markets ..re jo t likely to exhibit weakness so long as wheat remains strong. Provisions The ling market again displayeil strength, which, with the action of grain!, helped provisions although general trade was not br nl.

It is colder in eastern and southern sections, except in the Florida Peninsula, and warmer generally between the .Alleghenies and the western ‘highlands. Frosts were reported again last night in the A alley of California as far south as Fresno. At 7 p. m. Monday snow covered the two northern tiers of States between the Rockies und tlie Fakes region, with depths ranging generally from *4 to 16 inches. Practically no snow was reported south of tlie 41st parallel^ INDIANA HIGHWAYS. Highway conditions changed little during the past week, although tlie freezing and thawing weather was unfavorable. Improved highways arc mostly in good condition, hut unimproved are poor to hud. Conditions are more unsatisfactory in the southern portion than elsewhere. J. H. AKMIXGTON, Meteorologist, Weather Jiureau. In the Cotton Market NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The cotton market opened firm today at an advance of 15 to 24 points on the strength of I'nglish cables, bullish January domestic consumption figures and firmness in foreign exchange.

Feb. 14.—Considering the character of *rade reports that have been reaching the cotton market the recent advance Is very significant, it means that either the pessimistic i-oports are exaggerated or that conditions have been thoroughly discounted. The census report published this morning does not confirm the poor trade re- j ports, for it shows not only an inert ’se in consumption, but a decrease in stocks | and is more in harmony with the re- { ports that we have been ge' f in„ xrom week to we.-k from dry goods centers showing constantly satisfactory distribution of cotton goods. It seems to us that spinners are either , now buying or will soon have to enter tiio market to provide themselves with t future supplies, anil this should give the market sufficient support and stimulation to tring about a higher level.

EARTH FORCES HARNESSED BY NEW METHODS Inventor Claims ‘Telluric Currents’ Will Change Whole World. GREAT EVENTS AHEAD LONDON, Veb. 14.—An invention that will revolutionize the world! TIPs is the claim of a young. almostJ tor L. V. ltota, ' o claims to bav ediscoveren the secret of telluric currents. ‘My invention,” states the professor, •‘•■.in 1 ante battleships, snbmarines, airphiin s guns to crumble to dust at any moment that any government gives the order to move them. ‘‘lt can be harnessed up for the service of man and can immediately speed up travel, transport and communication, whether by land, water or air. It can < hcapon every sort of manufacture and enhance every domestic and social immunity. “Fi r instance, a cargo of mails or goods could be .■■en. aero - s the Atlantic through the upper air, without a human being aboard the craft, at a speed of ten to 490 ruilei? an hour. The vessel would ri-e vertically to the prescribed height, travel horizontally in a predetermined direction and drop gently and punctually upon its destination. MAY TRAVEL ANY DISTANCE. “Wirdeas messages, despatched from no costly or elaborate stations, would travel to any distance free from all danger of dissipation or confusion and with nlit-olute privacy as between sender and receiver. ‘•The nature of all mineral and oil deposits in any part of the world and their depth and volume will be accurately determined without so much as sinking a shaft. “Currents rushing through the air will provide the h/iuseholder with cheaper,* safer and no-re brilliant lighting thau| he has ever ventured to desire. “Anew power for every indust., will first make coal, steam, oil and electricity more efficient and afterward’ wiL dispense with them altogether. "When our company is formed—within eighteen months—we will give spectacular demonstrations that all these things—and more—can be accomplished.” CURRENTS LONG SI SFECTED. The existence of these currents, which emanate from the earth (hence their name) have been suspected by, other scientists. Lord Kelvin before his death declared their realty. Professor Rota claims to be the first to discover and record them. They may also be described as “molecular force.” and they must not be confused. says tlie professor, with Ampere's thormo-eiectric currents or witji Foucault currents. It is the study of these telluric currents, in their nature, intensity and direction. that is believed to open up such possibilities of tremendous importance for the future of humanity. Professor Rota has recently given a preliminary demonstration at Marseilles. With a cigar-shaped apparatus, seventeen feet long, thirty inches in diameter and weighing 200 pounds, he convinced a number of press correspondents that this apparatus could remain suspended motionless In the air for twenty-four hours, carrying a considerable weight, and be propelled or stopped without the use of any mechanical motor. RETURNS AFTER 17 YEARS. BAGDAD, Feb. 34.—Lawrence Fenton, i an English lad, who was kidnaped front f his parents seventeen years ago when only 5 years old, has returned to his family. His abductor was a Persian who took the lad to Teheran. On his deathlied he revealed the fact that he had stolen Lawrence. KILLS HIGH IN AIR. GENEVA. Feb. 14 —Going suddeniyl insane, F.dwig Heller, a young Swiss student. drove his sister out on a sixth floor balcony and stabbed her to death. Hundreds of spectators on the street below watched the murder, powerless to intervene, and then saw Heller plungs from the balcony to his death. ggT Choice Investments. i|S
