HIGHER PRICES EXPECIED AFTER READJUSTMENT Thursday's Reaction Looked Upon as Basis for New Bull Market. FOREIGN NEWS IGNORED Optimistic Feeling Creates Good Demand for Stocks at Opening. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. March 16.—Thursday’s reaction was looked upon as a readjustment of the market’s position in preparation for higher prices toward Saturday’s close. This feeling created a good demand for stocks today and offerings in early dealings were easily absorbed. Just as the market had been unconcerned over the invasion of the Ruhr, it paid no attention to signs that the reparations tangle was nearer solution than at any time since the French occupation began. First Hour * Unsettlement among Mexican oils in the first hour furnished a good test of the market’s technical position, but the general list acquitted itself in good style. Bedford’s remarks concerning oil losses in Mexico furnished a pretext for a drive on these shares. A resumption of the forward march of the general list set in around 11 i o’clock, due to the plentiful supply of available call money to ,be found in the street, despite the righer rate. Second Hour Additional stocks threw aside reac- ■ tionary tendencies and resumed the forward movement in the second hour. Prominence given the Mexican oil situation drew attention to the shares of domestic companies which are placed in an exceptionally favor- ( able position because of advancing crude prices and Sinclair advanced to anew 19:13 high. A slight reaction of L. & X. was later followed by a steadier tone in this class of stocks, j Noon Hour. Mid-week strength following restoration of wire service to the West hud demonstrated that centers West were bullish, so traders took advantage of further crippling of wire service in a. late morning attack on the market. In the absence of support of western buying, bears forced fair sized recessions in industrial leaders. Rut a decided scarcity of stocks was revealed and noon dealings showed that further attempts to start liquidation had fallen flat. Twenty active industrial stocks Thursday averaged 104.74, off .54 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 59.33, off .40 per cent. Local Bank Clearings bank Friiay wcr<* hunk debits were $6,581,000.

LIVERPOOL GAIN BOOSES GRAINS Better Foreign Inquiry Is Reflected at Chicago, By United Financial CHICAGO, March 18. —A higher Liverpool market caused grain prices to advance fractionally at the opening on the Board of Trade today. Better foreign inquiry. together with reports that the United Kingdom and other continentals were buying Manitobas strengthened wheat. Reports from Indiana statisticians indicated vacillating weather there did considerable damage to the crop. Corn bids were closer to a working basis and there was a better export demand. A higher hog market and a decrease in cattle shipments indicated an increase of feeder demand. Oats showed a stronger undertone and there was some export demand. A sharp upturn in Liverpool lard and a favorable construction of a semi-monthly statement showing only a moderate supply of lard on hand, aided provisions. CHICAGO.

I By l ni/rd Financial NEW YORK, March 16. —The statei ment of Chairman Bedford of Standard Oil of New Jersey that American ■ companies operating in Mexico faced a loss of a quarter of a billion dollars because of the exhaustion of the Mexi- ! can field, failed to depress the general j level of oil stocks today. While Pan American issues on the stock ex ; change fell off a point, Mexican oil I on the curb rose to 2. Traders apparently took the position that Bedford had said nothing which had not been said before and were therefore inclined to disregard his statements as a market factor. The other feature of the early dealings was in United Verde Extension, which rose to 35, anew record high. The jump in the quarterly dividend late of $1 was behind this.

PRAYER URGED FDR CLEVELAND MAYOR Executive Lacks Dignity, Woman Evangelist Says. ' Pray for Fred Kohler He seems to need God." That is the plea to the people of Cleveland from Mrs Bertha Harris, an evangelist, conducting services in (he Grace Congregational Church here. At her nightly meetings she urges those present to go to their homes at the conclusion of the services and there offer prayers in the mayor's behalf “Every man in public office should remember his dignity,” Mrs. Harris said today. “Mayor Kohler has forgotten his. No man who is not right with bis God can do things with the right spirit. Mayor Kohler wants to be the big T too much. He is losing friends as a result. “Vinegar does not draw flies.

WANTDN FIREBUG AT LARGE IN OHIO Nocturnal Motorist Blamed for Twenty Blazes, CLEVELAND. March 16.—The unseen hand of a firebug is applying the torch with wanton abandon in Lake County. Already there have been twenty mysterious fires in that county covering a period of three months, and entailing a loss of $600,000. Residents are aroused over the fact that no fire marshal has been sent to investigate, although the marshal's office in Columbus has been apprised of the situation. It is believed the fireburg may be n. maniac, or possibly someone who is wreaking vengeance against the community. Tiie only thing known for certain Is that he has an automobile. This accounts for the fact that he lias been able to operate so long without detection. No one has seen him. He starts a blaze in the dead of night. Then, apparently, lie jumps into his car and is gone before property owners are aroused by the flames. He has become a terror to townspeople and farmers alike.

The Flanner House is supplying about 1,000 domestics a month, Lee says. Most of them ore for day work. Os 913 calls supplied in February, 893 were for day work and only twenty for permanent positions. Those day workers average $2 to $2.35 a day. They.pay their own carfare, but are furnished lunch. This price has remained the same for about two years. Lee adds. It ranged from $2.25 to $2.60 a day during the war. For colored houseworkers who work by the week the pay ranges from $7 to sl2 a week. These workers are given their meals, but usually do not room at tho homes. In several cases colored women who have attended college have accepted positions as domstics, according to Lee.
