STERLING REACTS 10 LAW’S SPEECH ON RUHR AFFAIRS Loss of One-Half Cent Follows Opening of English Parliament. OPENING TRADE IS BRISK General List Stocks Pay Little Attention to Foreign Developments. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Feb. 14. —Bonar Law’s expression of concern over the outcome of the French invasion of the Ruhr caused a loss of more than onehalf cent in Sterling during the early dealings. Stocks, however, paid no attention to developments abroad, transactions in the early dealings being largely influenced by conditions within the market. No let-up in the million-share pace took place in the first fifteen minutes and operations for the rises went ahead in several sections of the list. First Hour Profit taking suggestions sent out by many commission houses before the opening brought heavy realizing into the market before 11 a. m. and speculative leaders receded from 1 to 2 points from their best prices on the current advance, but the offerings in this class of stocks were absorbed without interruption to the bullish demonstration in progress in many individual stocks. Second Hour Stocks maintained remarkable strength in face of a sharp break in sugars and the announcement that brokers loans had swollen to a record aggregate of about 2.000.000,000. Third Hour Cuban-American’s 3 points break to 46 and Cuban Cane preferred's 5 point drop to 54%, were precipitated by the abrupt decline in Cuban raw sugar futures which receded the full limit of a cent permissible in a day's trading after reaching anew high at 6.25 at the opening. Despite these developments bullish activities progressed in several groups. Cosden led the oils, making anew high record at 57%. Twenty active industrial stocks Tuesday averaged 102.16. up .46 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged ?9.49, off .07 per cent.

By United Financial NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The curb market was the scene of conflicting trends in the early trading today. Generally, the active industrials and the oils were at small recessions, but two of the independent oils. Gulf and Mountain producers were extremely active and higher, while a newcomer. Household Products, added zest to the dealing In the first half hour. The issue of Household Products, offered by a banking syndicate at 34, was quickly taken and listed. It climbed to 35. The new corporation is taking over the business of the Centaur Company, manufacturers of Castoria.

Bu United Financial CHICAGO, Feb. 14. —Grain prices advanced on the Board of Trade today as result of fear a cold wave over the winter wheat belt would injure the plants unprotected by snow. Wheat was strong going in sympathy with the trend of the advancing Liverpool market. After opening weak, foreign markets strengthened during the day. Receipts showed a decided falling off. This was due to the fact that many railroads were blocked by snows. After the initial advance some selling by profit-takers dropped off. Corn was stronger at the opening, c-wing to good buying by commission houses. Rains were reported in the Argentine, causing some selling after ihe opening. Trading in oats and rye opened strong, but prices shaded off. Provisions were higher in sympathy with other grains. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 14— WHEAT— Prrv. Open. High. Low. Close. close.
