INDUSTRIALS ARE LEADERS OF LIST IN FRESH RALLY Studebaker Jumps Two Points on Hope of Dividend Increase. EQUIPMENTS ARE STRONG Steel Common Joins Studebaker and Other Leadres Follow. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Feb. 26.—Some concern was aroused in the financial community by the success of the Democrats and Republican insurgents in inserting an amendment to the tax bill increasing the rate on inheritances. But this was slightly offset by the number of brilliant corporation • reports which appeared over-night. American Loco's extraordinary showing of $12.25 a share in 1923 against $4.40 on the preferred for 1922 was easily the Products was unchanged at 62%. making no re sponse to the sale to banking interests of Montgomery-YVard common shares it acquired in the dissolution of United Retail Stores. First Hour Industrials displayed a better tone through the first hour under the leadership of Studebaker which rallied nearly two points to 101% on the re- - port that the proposed capital readjustment was a step toward an increase in the current $lO annual dividend. Steel common came back more than a point from Monday's low and other industrial leaders recovered proportionately. American Locomotive's response to the 1923 report was disappointing. Second Hour According to large lenders of stocks there has been no reduction in the short interest as compared with the middle of last week. In fact, traders and professionals, it is said, have sold stocks on balance since Friday. This is one reason for the sharp recovery in active issues on the declines. During the late morning there were reports that large financial Interests were buyers of stocks. One feature is the absence of public selling.

Noon Hour Stocks were disturbed in the noon dealings by the heay selling of Anaconda following the action of the directors in suspending dividend payments. Anaconda broke to 34% against its high of 39% in the previous session and substantial declines took place in Utah and other active issues of this class. Despite the weakness of copper shares, two of the largest producers declared conditions in the industry were sound despite the inability of some companies to make money on 13-cent metal. Such a situation is bullish rather than bearish. F'ourth Hour Continued pressure on Anaconda in the early afternoon induced some selling of Steel, Baldwin, American Can and similar industrial stocks. But the offerings were well absorbed, the bear crowd encountering no success in their attempts to force prices below last week's resistance levels. Heaviness in the oils was due partly to the disappointment felt by influential interests over the investigation now being conducted by the Federal Trade Commission into the causes of the recent advances in the price of gasoline. Twenty active industrial stocks on Monday averaged 97.16, off .72 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 60.96, off .37 per cent.

ROSE GETS JOB IN NO. 10 DOWNING ST. By I lilted \ eir* LONDON. Feb. 26.—A vivacious dark-eyed, girlish figure is now often t.o be seen tlflifitting to and fro between the new British prime minister's residence at 10 Downing St., and the Foreign Office. She is laden witli papers and wreathed in smiles., She is Miss Rose Rosenberg, young, capable, and level-headed, who was appointed as Ramsay MacDonald's secretary when he became leader of the laborite opposition. But she got her start when she became assistant to the editor of an American and Mexican mining journal. She was 17 when she took this job. Becoming interested in woman's suffrage, she later joined the Woman's Social ari<l Political Union, but withdrew membership when militant tactics were adopted. Miss Rosenberg joined the. Labor party staff in 1918 and is now naturally but modestly proud of her posi tion as secretary to the prime minis ter. “I love the work.” she says. ‘‘The new circumstances and surroundings are. of course, thrilling, but I am trying to keep my head and to justify the cnofidenee placed in me.”

The decline was generally 5c to 10c, but at least a few hogs sold to a shipper eariy at steady prices. Shippers at the outset paid $7.45 for all weights and classes, but packers brought their supplies a nickel lower at $7.40, Compared with Monday’s bulk price of $7.50 for all weights. The day’s top was $7.50, but it represented onjy a few small sales. Sows and pigs sold at practically unchanged figures, pigs down from $7. though generally down from $0.75, and sows down from $6.50. though rarely higher than $6.35 for smooth kinds and $6.25 for the coarser kinds. Trucks were conspicuous by their number, as the condition of highways has so improved In the past few days that shipment in this way has been restored practically to normal and receipts in the truck division were decidedly larger than on any day since the recent cold wave arrived. Receipts in the cattle department were the heaviest in weeks and prices tended lower, due more to the poor class of stock, however, than to the quantity, buyers said. Several loads of steers were offered, but none was of prime quality arid as a result prices for this grade were generally lower while losses of 15 to 25 cents on butcher grades, canners and cutters excepted, were registered. One thousand six hundred head were of feed for sale. Due to unsually heavy receipts of 1,000 head, prices for veals were a half dollar lower at. sls for choice veals and sl4 to $14.50 for the bulk. Sheep and lambs sold on an unchanged basis, lambs down from sls and sheep down from SB. Receipts 150.

Walsh, Debonair Cavalier, Becomes New Lochinvar to Miss Democracy

Graceful, Eloquent Gentleman, Unaided, Beards Great Oil Octopus,

BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA ,Service Writer rr-3 A SHIN GTO N, Feb. 26.—Miss \U Democracy has anew sweetYv heart. A dashing, debonair blade he is, from out the great Open Spaces of the Wind-Swept West. A lithe, graceful, eloquent gentleman. A cavalier of the sort that slays dragons and rescues languishing maidens. Small wonder, then, that anew spirit of hope and joy has quickened the lagging pulses of Miss Democracy. Maybe—maybe—who knows? Oh, to be no longer a wail-flower! Oh, to lead the dizzy dance again! So, with new words to the old dance tune, the full party harmony coming in heavy on the syncopated time, she sings: ‘‘Oh, Walsh me around again, Tommy, Around! Around! Around!” For Walsh. Thomas J. YValsh of Helena, Montana, is the new Lochinvar to whom Miss Democracy owes her new lease on life—and hope. Walsh is the boy who, almost unaided, tunneled through the barrier of words and evasions to tlie hidden lair of the Great Oil Octopus. Whether by fault or foolishness, the operations of the Octopus, he disclosed. had been made possible by high officials of the ruling administration —men at the very top in the Republican party organization. What history will know as the Great Oil .Scandal—the end of which is not yet resulted. Iler Candy Kid And right there is where Miss Democracy’s hopes come in. With the Nation aroused over the disclosures, she expects a popular revulsion against Republican rule which will make her —whether from choice or necessity she doesn’t care much which —the popular partner in the 1924 presidential cake walk. And as the boy who has made this

Cwn,,,, mw*. . |o, Walsh me around j % . again, Tommy. Around! Around! / . -Die Teapot is boilin' . Ihsi GOP’e "oil —Miss Democracy’* Ja*i

Senator Walsh, a year ago (upper left), ami nnk. Typical of the change that seems to have come over the Montana Senator with his leadership in the Teapot Dome investigapossible, who stuck the cactus under the G. O. P. howdalt, twisted the elephant’s tail and stsirted what

tion .is his new manner of trimming his mustache. Gone is the drooping, gracefully curling mustache, and in its place is the squared-off. carefully trimmed lip warmer. may become a political stampede, Tommy Walsh from Montana is today Miss Democracy's fair-haired

pet, her Candy Kid. Now, don’t misunderstand. Miss Democracy hasn’t any matrimonial designs on Thomas. She’s awfully fond of him .but reasons of policy and such—Montana having only four electoral votes —put him on the ineligible list so far as becoming her presidential candidate is concerned. But she’d keep him around, in case she gets back to the White House next year. In the Cabinet, you know. Probably attorney general. For even before he proved his ability in the present oil investigations, Walsh was recognized as one of the keenest legal minds in Washington. He has often been dubbed an Uncyclopedia of Law, due to his ability to cite legal references and decisions from memory. Popular in Society In his office and at the Senate, Walsh is an indefatigable worker. Away from the office and the Capitol, he likes recreation. He is fond of social life and is much in demand at dinners and parties among the official and social set of the city. As an unattached male—he has been a widower several years—he solves the problem of many a hostess in making up her list. He is a light ar.d graceful dancer, an engaging conversationalist and a courtly gallant. Os slender, wiry build, medium height, cleanly cut features, Walsh is one of the most dapper of Senators. His clothes are well tailored. His gold-rimmed nose glasses swing from a black silk ribbon around his neck. He uses them oniy when reading. His silver gray hair is flung upward in a saucy roach on the right side. A former jarring note in the Wals'i make-up—his long, luxuriant but drooping mustache of the sort known as ‘‘soup-strainer” or "ramshorn”—has been eliminated by his barber and he now affects the more modern clipped mustache.
