STERLING SHOWS INDIFFERENCE 10 RUHR COMPLEXITY Advance to New 1923 High Is Surprise Feature to New York Market, ALL STOCKS ARE HIGHER Spreading Optimism Over Domestic Business Adds Impetus to Entire ’Change, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Sterling today displayed complete indifference to the growing complexity of the Ruhr situation, advancing to anew 1923 high at 468%. With a single exception this is the highest level since the British government withdrew its support from the market in March, 1919. This demonstration of the absence of apprehension in British ftnanciancal circles over the continental complications gave renewed impetus to the operations for the rise in the New York Stock market at the opening. First Hour

Wall Street drew from the strength of Sterling that Europe was getting closer to settlement of her problems. Knowing the anxiety of the British people to settle down to the serious work of European reconstruction, many authorities felt an understanding between France and Germany would not be long delayed. This belief, coupled with spreading optimism over domestic business, gave the market in the first hour the most bu**yant tone since the current aggressiveness on the side of rising prices broke out ten days ago. Second Hour American Can's further rise of 99% was nothing short of phenomenal. Last week the stock sold at 83% and last month at 73%. Evidently the heavy short interest which had been built following publication of the’annual report. Vanadium and Replogle reached new highs on the move. It is understood a pool has formed in Replogle. Third Hour Stocks maintained the market buoyancy throughout the morning. Steel common resumed the lead of thd market, at noon advancing to anew high. This development stimulated bullish activity in many sections of the list and operations for the rise were started in a number of fresh groups. Westinghouse jumped 3 points on reports that the company had perfected a radio device which would greatly increase its sales. Twenty active industrial stocks Wednesday averaged 101.55, off .31 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 89.05, off .44 per cent.

LACK OF SPIRIT SHOWN IN CURB MARKET TRADE Gulf Oil Is Higher as Outstanding Feature. By United Financial NEW YORK. Feb. 15.—There was less spirit at the opening of the New York curb market today than on any day this week. Apparently buying orders were not in so large a volume and ther also was the influence that active stocks such as Hayes Wheel Flelschmann. Producers and Refiners, and Cuba Dominican Sugar had been removed from the trading to go on the New York Stock Exchange. This left Gulf Oil and Household .Products to carry the burden of the market activity. Gulf Oil again was higher, going above C 4 and Household Products clung very closely around yesterday's closing level. Another advance in Pennsylvania Crude was felt in the oil stocks, particularly the higher priced Standards. Prairie Oil and Gas went to 240 and South Penn to 182. Standard of Indiana was up % at 65%.

IN SATURDAY’S TIMES Lloyd George, former war premier of Great Britain, who is writing a series of special articles for this paper, will tell why a “cold shiver ran down the back of England.” Call Main 3500 to Order Paper REED ADVOCATES WAR If NECESSARY ID COLLECT DEBTS Missourian Declares America Must Enforce Rights— Speech Is Fiery, By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 15— If necessary, this country should go to war to collect the money borrowed by foreign governments, Senator Reed, Missouri, Democrat, declared today in a fiery speech in the Senate on the British debt-funding bill. Assailing Great Britain and those who believe the United States ought to he lenient with its debtors, Reed said: "I’ve been asked how we are going to get our money. One wav is to have enough nerve to demand it. if we can't get it that way then I would get it the way other nations get theirs from weaker nations. 1 have in mind some possessions of other nations not far from our shores that could be taken within twenty-four hours. I would get the money in the way it has been dene through the countless centuries —by insisting on and, if necessary, enforcing our rights.” Force Not Needed Reed said in bis opinion forcible measures would not be needed, but that payment would be made if the United States demanded it. "Ail this talk about hands across the sea reminds rne of that class of ltersons slangily called ‘gimme girls,’ ” he said. "They are girls who always want you to give them something. Ixioks like we were in un 'international game’ and we are to do all the giving.” Reed blocked a Senate agreement to limit debate on the debt bill after charging that "indecent haste” was being employed in its passage. No Reason for Haste

“The attempt to rush this bill through reminds me of a man with a gold brick to sell, who must dispose of lt quickly if he is to get rid of it at all,” said Reed. "A subtle propaganda is going on throughout the country in favor of it There is no reason for haste. We have a right to examine this contract, the biggest in the history of our country, to see whether the interests of the United States have been safeguarded.” MAN CONVICTED ON THREE COUNTS AFTER COLLISION Two Penalties Against Damon Reynolds Are Suspended.
