STOCKS BUOYANT WITH OPTIMISM RULING EXCHANGE Industrials Average Is at Highest Level Since April 17, 1920, STERLING MOUNTS HIGHER Numerous Stocks Attain New Highs for Year —Rails Are Feature, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—With the in dustrlal averages at the highest level since April IT, 1520 and Sterling within three cents of the level maintained during the war years and less than 15c below parity with the dollar, •>cks were buoyant in today's early tding. Better feeling regarding the FrancoGerman dilemma o~ a basis of Germany's proposal to start international negotiations in London regarding the Ruhr situation, heightened the optimism prevailing over the prosperous condition of home trade. First Hour New highs for the year were attained by a comprehensive list of stocks in the first hour. American Wool was running close to pre-war levels. Bookings of Locomotive companies are at anew high record. Those identified with certain companies can see no let-up in the next month and large additions to asset values can le expected. It is claimed American Locomotive and Baldwin are each earning well. tieeond Hour Several stocks which led the recent advance and which turned reactionary before the general list gave evidence in the second hour of having completed their corrective setbacks. North American reflected the better established position of the annual dividend rate of Ift per cent on stock which is equal to a minimum annual .ate of 20 per cent in cash on the company's stock of SSO par value. Third Hour Trading slackened somewhat on the noon. But after ten consecutive rnil-•l-share days and with the industrial irage in new high ground for the present bull swing and with rail compilations at the highest level since Fept .11, 1922, the market still displayed a sound technical condition. According to all precedent, the primary forward movement has several months to run. Many authorities believe the market has now entered the final stages of the advance. They expect this phase of the upswing to be marked by the wildest speculation since the windup of the last two bull markets in 1917 and 1919. Twenty active industrial stocks Tuesday averaged 103.56. up .60 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 90.17, up .37 per cent.

111 mm TRADE Ali Grain Prices Are Irregular at Opening, B’i tinted Financial CHICAGO, Feb. 21. —Prices were irregular at the opening on the Board of Trade today. Wheal opened fractionally lower as the result of declines in foreign markets. Weakness in the Liverpool market was attributed to heavy offerings of Argentine and Manitoba wheat. Sales appeared to be largely by houses with eastern connections Foreign buying was negligible. Liberal receipts and prospects of a two-day accumulation over the holiday tomorrow caused fractional declines in corn. The prospects f r the Argentine corn crop were nech improved. due to recent rains. Oats opened irregular. Sales were confined to seatered liquidation. Country offerings were light. Provisions opened higher, due to light hog receipts. Chicago Grain Table At 11:45—Feb. 21 WHEAT— Prev Opcr,_ High. Low.

In 1922. 1.329 cases were reported; in 1921, 1,267.

This should mean a large decrease in botli the number of cases and the death rate in 1923, Morgan asserted. INSURANCE COMPANIES BLAMED FOR FIRE LOSS Flames Destroy Grain Here While Europeans Starve.
