FIRM UNDERTONE IS DISPLAYED BY MARKETFAVORITES Opening Irregularity Overcome in First Ten Minutes of Trade, INDEPENDENT OILS UP Steel Common Leads Industrial Group Into Higher Ground, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Initial trading in the stock market today was fairly active with prices irregular, showing fractional changes from the previous closing. After the first ten minutes of trading, however, the list firmed up, led by the independent oils. Sinclair got to 21% from the previous close, and other oils followed, Marland being quite active and selling to 37. Standard of New Jersey was up fractionally. Steel common got above 103 and other leaders improved. First Hour Trading in the first hour lacked some of the activity that has characterized recent sessions, but no let-up in the steady forward movement occurred to check the advance of numerous stocks which had shown marked ability to recovery from their recent recessions. A great many traders were absent from the Street, due to the approaching holiday in observance of Washington’s birthday, and some crippled wire service in sections kept wirehouses from entering their usual number of orders. Second Hour The end of the second hour found the market showing a strong undertone with some short covering going on. Several ware houses reported service still crippled to various points. Traders had mixed opinions and it is a long time since the lioor was so varied in its market opinion. All eyes are on Washington in regard to -tax matters and undoubtedly this phase of legislation will be a pivotal one until it is cleaned up. 'Aventy active industrial stocks on Wednesday averaged 06.58, off .39 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 80.63, off .05 per cent.

The following report on the recent and current advances in the price of coffee submitted by B. D. Lewis, a local broker, is given for the light which it may throw on the coffee market at the present time: There have teen so many advances in cot Tee recently that the prices ot roasted coffees have to be advanced like butter and eggs, almost every tew days. Early last. ypar. owing to reports that Brazil would have a bumper crop of coffee, (green coffee buyers (importers, jobbers and roasters! thought that the price of coffees would go much lower and consequently w ould not buy. At this time the Brazilian government issued an order that the receipts of Brazil coffees should not be ovr 35.000 baas per day. Then came severe and excessive rains which destroyed 25 to 40 per cent of the crop. Still, buyers would not go into the market. Consequently the stocks in this country became depleted and good coffees very hard to obtain at any price. Statistics on Feb. 1 showed a world's visible supply of about 4.200.000 which ts 3.500.000 bags less than same time last year. These figures are very bullish and speculative buying started in January on advance information and coffee has continued to advaivc almost daily every since. Green coffees have advanced 6 to 7 cents p - pound which means roasted coffees have advanced 7% to B>cents8 >cents because green coffees shrink in roasting.

CHICAGO GRAINS OPEN IRREGULAR Wheat Trading Reflects Conditions in Liverpool. Bv United Financial CHICAGO, Feb. 21—Grains started irregular on the Board of Trade today. Wheat trading reflected conditions in Liverpool. Nearby deliveries in both markets were unchanged. July was up a fraction and September unchanged. Settlement of the English dock workers’ strike released large parcels- for delivery on nearby contracts. July went up, due to shortage of Argentine in European markets. September opened unchanged on account of lack of speclatiye interest. Scarcity of corn in nearby positions caused May to advance %c at the opening. Others weakened due to better crop reports and liberal country offerings. Argentine corn is being offered in European markets 15 cents under American grades. Oats showed some firmness due to light stocks, heavy feeding and cash demand. Provisions reflected weakened hog markets and cables. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 21— WHEAT— Prer. Open. High.

Feb. 21.—The Chicago Board of Trade, as well as other local markets, will be colsed Friday, In observance of Washington's birthday. Wheat crop is wintering well with a few exceptions in various localities, but some apprehension is experienced on aceountof thawing and freezing conditions where ground is not covered with enow. Price Current said. A factor in the corn situation is failure of average country elevators to accumulate stock Under normal conditions a liberal supply is held at this season, but poor quality is causing immediate shipment from ali primary markets. Farm reserves of oats in Central States are small, leading producers declare adding that little remains to come forward. Consumption is heavy and farmers are Inclined to hold supplies for this purpose. CURB TRADING ACTIVE IN INITIAL DEALINGS Prairie Oil and Gas Leads Petroleums With Four-Point Jump.

The increase in offerings proved too great for the demand and prices dropped 20 to 25 cents to the $7.35 level for all weights and classes, compared with $7.55 and $7.60 for similar kinds on Wednesday. One fancy load of belted hogs brought a premium of a nickel, establishing a top of $7.40, but with this exception, all the offerings moved at one price. Kingan & Cos. was a heavy buyer on the decline, having taken about 6,000 head ii the opening round of trading. Shipp *rs also were active, but their activity failed to create competition and no strength developed. Both sows and pigs were a quarter lower, sows selling down generally from $6.25, while pigs sold down from $6.75, though rarely higher than $6.50. Receipts in the truck division were the largest of the week, while lato car arrivals threatened to boost the day’s supply to 13,000, inclusive of Wednesday’s carry-over of 131. Trading in the cattle department was on a steady and practically unchanged basis. Some good stock was (received and large buyers were present to bid for it while the common and medium grades received their '‘share of attention. About 1,000 head arrived and a good clearance was effected. Steadiness featured trading in the I calf market, choice veals continuing to command a top of sls while the i bulk moved from sl4 to $14.60. Receipts 400.
