TONE OF GENERAL MARKET IS THAT OF IRREGULARITY ' Price Movements Confused, ! Encouraging Bears to Attack List. RUBBER STOCKS SOLD * Cast Iron Pipe, However, Continues Its Sensational Advance. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. March 3—News developments over the week-end left the speculative situation unchanged i and principal interest in the stock | market today converged upon spe- j cial movements in individual stocks, j Virginia-Carolina Chemical prefered; broke to anew low at 8%, compared with last week's high of 18%, depressed by the receivership announcement. Cast Iron Pipe continued its sensational advance, reaching 77%. Interests responsible for this rise were also active in Fisher Body, which mounted to a record 1924 high at 208%. First Hour Price movements through the first hour continued confused, the irregularity encouraging professional operators to resume their aggressiveness on the short side. The rubber shares were subjected to renewed pressure on the theory that the poor i 1323 results rendered them especial’A’ vulnerable and United States Rubber declined to anew low for the year at i 31%. Unsettlement in this group! started selling among the industrial | leaders, fractional recessions taking j place in Baldwin and Studebaker. Coppers, however, developed a better tone. Second Hour Conflicting price movement kept the j market in a confused state in the late! morning. Persistent pressure was directed against the fertilizer, rubber and leather shares. The Northwestern roads also had to absorb additional selling which spread to some of the Eastern lines, includin Delaware & Hudson, which dropped to 108 against last week’s high of 112% and New Haven which receded fractionally on large offerings. Noon Hour Bearish efforts were aided during noon dealings over the strained re-1 lations hetwee nFrance and England j which resulted in a dorp in francs of i 35 points from last week's high. Afiother disturbing factor was the sensational headlines promising startling developments at the Washington oil hearings this week. U. S. Rubber common an dflrst preferred went into new low ground, the former selling at 31% off 11% from the year's high and the latter at 81%, off 13%. Fourth Hour Announcement that the House Ways and Means Committee had started consideration of the soldier bonus legislation was made the basis for another selling movement in the whole list in the early afternoon. Steel common declined to 102%, off more than a opint from Saturday's final, and similar recessions took place in otoher industrial leaders. Rails were unsettled by the continued decline in Northern Pacific, which reached further new low ground for the year at 48. Twenty active industrial stocks on Saturday averaged 97.49, up .27 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.32. up .32 per cent. Foreign Exchange Bv United Financial NEW YORK.

Buyers also were encouraged by higher Liverpool opening and lower crop estimates its contained in private reports. Corn was inclined to weaken, due to liberal receipts at all terminal points and selling by recent buyers. Roads improved over the week end and country offerings are expected to increase as a result.

March 3.—Reports of an impending increase in wheat tariff, coming at a time when the United States is on a domestic basis, have brought about a change in sentiment. The immediate supply and demand conditions do not furnish a reason for higher prh'es. and unless the section east of the Misaissippl River develops materia! dKniare, the trend promises to be downward, a leading exiiert said. Corn receipts at primary markets last week of 11.758.000 bushels were th“ argest of the season, anil for this period in five year? This also is true of oats, while wheat receipts were exceeded once i,r five years. A better demand now exists for < ash wheat with some buying in hard varieties in the Southwest by macaroni manufacturers on account of advance in durum flour to a premium. If the tariff is raised, it is expected to encourage farmers to increase their spring wheat acreage in order to benefit oy the shutting out of wheat.

Less than 6,000 head arrived for market and early reports of light runs at other marketing points brought a flood of orders that resulted in competition and higher prices. All weights and classes found a ready market at $7.60, Saturday's top, compared with Saturday’s bulk market of $7.50(gi7.55. Local killers joined with shippers and contributed to an early and very satisfactory clearance. Sows and pigs held steady with pigs selling down from $7 and sows down from $6.50. Some traders expressed surprise that receipts were so light in view of the condition of highways and the failure of receipts 'to measure up to early expectations j proved a bullish factor in trading. Some strength came into the cattle market as the result of some fairly good offerings and fairly light receipts of 1,000 head. Heavy buyers were in the market and a good clearance was I effected at prices believed by most I traders to have been slightly higher than last week's closing level. Weakness predominated in the calf department, due to a slackened Eastern demand and fairly heavy receipts of 600 head. Choice calves sold at. sl3 and hulk from sl2 to $12.50. Steadiness featured trading in the sheep and lamb market, native-fed lambs commanding sl6 down and sheep $9 down.

DRIVE STARTED FOR OBEDIENCE Os BOOZE LAW Meeting Held at Claypool— Committee of 100 Is Planned. Arrangements for citizenship com- ! mittee of 100 members to arouse public sentiment for law enforcement, particularly on the liquor question, were made at a luncheon at the Claypool today. Fred B. Smith of New Y’ork, author of “Law vs. Lawlessness,” and Ernest H, Cherrington of Westerville, ' Ohio, were the- principal speakers. I “The Business Man’s Relationship :to Law Enforcement” was the subject of Smith’s talk. “Must Protect Property” | “The business man is a strong believer in the fifth amendment, which ! guarantees protection to life and property,” he said. “If he does not insist on enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, he will find the same forces opposing this amendment lined up against the fifth.” Cherrington spoke on “Economic Aspects of Prohibition.” Roy Haynes, Federal prohibition commissioner, who was to be present, was called to Washington last night. Applause greeted Haynes’ talk Sunday in the Central Avenue Methodist Church on the text “They That Are With Us Are More Than Are With Them.” In a speech at the Cadle Tabernacle in the afternoon he continued his plea to the public to “get behind the Constitution.” Advocates Deportation Aliens furnish 80 per cent of the lliquor law violators, he said, and advocated the deporting of those who fail to obey laws. The rich and the socially prominent form the worst problem, Haynes said. “They go to California and Florida fully confident that the laws and respect for law will protect their factories and homes from arson and burglary and their family from violation,” he said. “Yet they defy the basic law of the land —a wilful mi- ; nority. “The churches and other bodies who are responsible for the Eight- | eenth Amendment folded their hands after it was adopted and left enforce- | inent to 1,650 Federal officers,” he ! said. “There are 250,000 police officers in the United States, and it is up to them and local judges to enforce the law. “Prohibition Is faced with highly developed propaganda, apathy on the part of the public—now decreasing—attempts to discredit the bureau and an unfavorable attitude by some municipal and State officials.” CONGRESSMEN IN BUREAU SCANDAL FACEFROSECUTION Coolidge Asked to Start Criminal Action Against Tw'b Solons.
