STOCKS RECOVER ON OPTIMISTIC TRADE REVIEWS Gulf States Steel Leads in Group Advance. LOANS ARE REDUCED U. S. Steel Announces Unexpected Increase of Orders. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, March 12.—Several constructive news developments occured over the week-end. \\ asl.ington advices indicated the new series cf certificates of indebtedness would be heavily oversubscribed, and Treaofficial said no immediate change in the New York Federal reserve rediscount rate would be announced. United States Steel announced unexpected large increase in unfilled orders in February. First Hour Optomistic ti-ade reports furnished the background for a further recovery in industrial stocks in the first hour and Gulf States Steel led the advance in the steel group to anew high level. The showing of clearing house ba;.ks was welcomed by traders who have argued that brokers' loans were tending downward rather than upward. A reduction of §66,000,000 in loans was taken as an indication that banks were in a much stronger position that Friday’s 5% per call rate indicated. Slight, comfort was gleaned from price movements in the second hour by commission house commentators who predicted a further reaction due to necessity of raising money for the purpose of meeting the first income tax installment. Stocks readily absorbed ail offerings and slowly gathered momentum under impulse of bullish demonstrations in several sections of the list, including the rubbers, motors and sugais. Noon Hour Trading fell off to the smallest proportions of recent weeks around noon, but the market maintained a steady tone. Growing uneasiness was manifest by bears. American Locomotive climbed to the highest figure at which •as ever sold on expectation that company will earn in the present quarters double its common dividend for the full year. Market Street Rail way prior preferred stock took a sharp advance on prospect of .--ale to the city of San Francisco. Twenty active industrial stocks Saturday averaged 193.62, off .66 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 88.28. off .21 per cent. Foreign Exchange By United Financial NEW YORK. Mar-h 17.—Korrizr ■\- ope-ira -T. v >i*r ■ rz. demand, *4.70 13 10: fable* <*.7l 1 10.

CURB MARKET OPENING PROVES DULL AFFAIR Standard Oils Lead laggard Procession oil the Start. By United Financial NEW YORK, March 12.—1n light of same favorable industrial developments, the curb market did not furnish a very convincing start of the new week. What did take place in price movements was in support of the theory that the bull market has entered the distributive stage. The Standard Oils were the chief •s.'tnrs in rather dull market, but failed to keep up the gaining tendency shown Saturday. V acuum was the weakest ,f 'he lot in the early dealings, falling back a small fraction under 51. standard of New York was under 46 and Indian was high at 67. Mutual fell back to 14, more than a point under its best recent level. Industrials were still less active than the oils but early prices showed a steadier tone while mining stocks were changed.

DULLNESS MARKS CHICAGO TRADING Price Irregularities Due to Week-end Rains, Bn I mted Financial CHICAGO. March 12.—Trading was dull and prices irregular at the opening of the I’.oard of Trade today. Badly demoralized wire service, the re- j suit of last night's storm, restricted the market. Wheat opened fractionally lower, j Reports from the Southwest indicated the long drought there was broken by week-end rains and that additional precipitation was forecast for today. Receipts were larger than expected. A drastic cut in the estimated corn tarry-over, together with increasing demand by feeders, caused fractional increases in corn. The Argentine torn crop estimate was reported cut in half by the long dry spell. Oats opened unchanged. The market was dull and devoid of features. Provisions were unchanged, despite higher hog receipts and an advance ' in Liverpool. Chicago Grain Table —March 12WHEAT— Prev. Open. Hf?h Low. o!n<t/v close.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FIRST OF PAVING Dies SHOW SAME LEVEL AS IN ’22 Elliott Surprised at Offers of Contractors on Asphaltic Concrete Jobs, Although prices of road building materials are said to be increasing and considerably higher than last fall, bids on spring season street construction work are practically the same level as those of last fall, John L. Elliott, city civil engineer, said today. Bids on approximately forty five street paving jobs are being checked by the engineering department. Only a few have been considered and these show prices on asphatlc concrete paving at S2.SO a square yard. Although contracts on sthaight asphalt paving have not yet been considered, Elliott stated these were expected to run at $3.20 a square yard, the same as last season. “Indications are the next bids will show an increase,’’ Elliott said. “These prices are surprising to me as I expected them to he higher. Elliott indicated the low bids were due to contractors bidding close in order to get their first jobs early in the spring. mm house's SECRET REVEALED The mystery of a vacant house at 401 W. McCarty St. was cleared up today with the arrest on blind tiger charges of Dan Scanlon, 25, SS2 Church St.; Bert •!. Reeder, 42, 801 S. West St., and the latter's wife, Elia Reeder, 39, police said. Despite finding white mule hidden in the house• several times in the last few months, police until today were unable to catch any one In the. house. Lieutenant Eirftnhut sai l he found Scanlon hiding three half pint bottles of “mule” under a board. The Reeders, who are proprietors of a grocery on West St . own the property. They /lid they rented it to y t hut the house appa:ently never was occupied. Residents of the r,eights rhoo* said the plat had been shunned ns “bootleggers' headqa urters." The Reeders were released on their own recognizance.

Today the cane sugar trust replies in an endeavor to show the iniquities of the beet sugar industry. The Great Western Sugar Company —owning sixteen factories in Western States —had a surplus of $22,924,501 on Nov. 30, 1922.
