ALL INDUSTRIALS SHOW TENDENCY TO MOVE HIGHER Steel, Oil and Copper Groups Have Improved Tone During First Hour, STERLING GAINS A CENT News Reports in Street Say Germany Is Anxious to Reach Settlement, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Feb. 27 Sterling gained nearly a cent in today's early dealings in response to intimations received by the French government that Germany was anxious to negotiate a settlement of the Ruhr situation. This news had no effect on the stock market. Leading industrials were still under the influence of a reactionary tendency, but rails were stimulated by the appearance of the first January earnings statement, including New York Central's, which showed an increase in net of $916,15$ over last year, and Illinois Central's, which set forth a gain of $1,302,900. First Hour Industrials lately featured by substantial price advances showed an improved tone in first hour. These included steel, and the. oil and copper groups. California Pete led the oils. Utah and Chile in coppers show advances and Gulf States were the best In their class. Baldwin was well bought on the basis of incoming orders. Second Hour The market was dull and weaker in the second hour and Standard of Kentucky fell despite the new rate which represents an increase of 33% per cent over the f1.25 quarterly rate which was in effect prior to the declaration of the 66 2-3 per cent dividend. President Coons said the increased rate was justified by the business done for the past year and good future prospects. Traders, however, expected something more. Twenty active industrial stocks Monday averaged 102.40, off .45 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 59.76, off .44 per cent. Noon Hour After the irregularities of the early dealing, the general list strengthened under leadership of American Can. Following the correction of its interna! position, the market appeared to be gaining strength in preparation for a renewal of the forward movement. Sugars, coppers, motor accessories and oils gave every indication of fresh action. Fourth Hour Stocks continued to gather strength in the .early afternoon trading, with motors leading. Chandler advanced 2 points, the buying having been based on assurances by insiders that the $6 dividend rate is safe for some time to come. Corn products advanced on the strength of publication of the 1922 earnings statement and United Retail Stores advanced to anew high, reflecting expected early announcement of dissolution. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Tuesday were $3,697,000: bank debits were $6,325,000.

WHEAT LEADS!N GRAMMES Chicago Markets Reflect Washington Dispatches, By United Financial CHICAGO, Feb. 27.—A1l grains opened higher on the Board today. Wheat led In the advance on reports from Wa-shington that quick action on rural credits legislation might Be expected. Liverpool opened practically unchanged with Argentine a quarter higher. Cables Indicated the continent was taking a fair amount of wheat afloat, a fact that was expected to relieve the selling pressure at least temporarily. Argentine traders continued to ship heavy consignments of wheat but the ultimate destination of the grain will depend on the rate of exchange prevailing on its arrival. Con was higher In sympathy with wheat and a higher hog market. Argentine prices were practically unchanged despite the more favorable reports on the new crop.
