VARIOUS GROUPS CONTINUE THEIR SPIRITED RALLY New Highs Touched on Current Movement Spur Whole List. !> • WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. March 7. —rrices wre stimulated in the early dealings in the .stock market today by the further improvement in the ratio of he Federal Reserve Bank of New York and industrial stocks continued •he spirited recovery which characterized the greater part of the previous session. New highs on the current rebound were reached by several representative issues and the w hole market had an atmosphere of confidence, heightened by the move in both the House and Senate to hasten action before March 15 on a L‘ p°r cent reduction in 1923 taxes. First Hour Trading was relatively quiet at the end of the first hour and no further progress was made on the upside of the main body of stocks, but the spec illative leaders held within fractional distance of their best prices on the movement, absorbing profit-taking and short selling in handy style. Despite confusion by a maze of conflicting ru mors, there is no doubt that leading operators have switched to the bull side of the market if only In a negative fashion. Too much difficulty was experienced in forcing price recessions u w arrant aggressive bear operations. Second Hour Trading in the late morning gave further proof that stocks went up easier than they could be forced down. Industrial leaders again advanced to around the best levels of the present r-itly ar.d pronounced strength was exhibited by numerous specialties. Associated Dry Goods reached the highest levels (v-'r attained at 9S\ and Woolworth at 315. A contrary movement took place in Arnold-Constable, which dropped to a record low at 83*. The . company will not show any balance for the common for 1923, owing to the heavy advertising outlay and ex penses incidental to re-vamping its stores under new management. Noon Hour Delaware & Hudson, which was depressed 4 points in bearish drives earlier in the week, recovered all of its lost ground during noon dealings, rebounding to 108: Delaware. Lacka wanna & Western sold at 1161-2, anew high on th> movement, while many from the industrial and specialty ~ great p joined with the carriers in the resumption of the primary forward movement. Gains of the morning were extended in many instances, while new advances were scored by other Issues attracted by the general uprush. Fourth Hour Further impetus was given to the recovery in the general list in the early afternoon by buying for the account of Interests recently bearishiy Inclined. This activity was particularly noticeable in General Electric, which reached anew high at 212 Va and in Chesapeake & Ohio, which sold at 7314, compared with a recent low of 67%. The high priced rails were es peclally strong under the leadership of Norfolk & Western which was in demand and around the year's best levels. Investment authorities are predicting a further 2 Opoint move In the event the lease of this road to Pennsylvania is consummated. Twenty active industrial stocks on Thursday averaged 98.45. up .90 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.21, up .31 per cent.

As on Thursday, a few hogs ' commanded a top of $7.75, but the number was small. Activity of ship pers accounted in no small way for the steadiness of prices, though local killers were not hesitant to enter the market to purchase their supplies at that price and the result was an almost total clearance before the end of the first half hour of trading. Sows and pigs ruled unchanged, pigs at $7 down, though rarely higher than $6.75, and sows at $6.50 down, though generally at $6.25 and $6.35. Altogether about 9,000 hogs arrived for market, including Thursday's unsold number ing 718„ Receipts in the truck department were heavier than on Thursday, accounting for part of the increase in the receipts which also undoubtedly were partly due to the week's advance. Trading in the cattle market was on a steady and practically unchanged level, with practically all grades sharing in the firmness. Receipts were light at 500 head and some advances might have been expected, except for the fact, buyers pointed out. that too much had been put on earlier in the week to expect apy further advances this week. Veal prices were slightly stronger on an unchanged basis, with choice kinds selling at $12.60 and the bulk friom sll 50 to sl2. A few fancy calves sold at sl3, but the number was very small.

"Your present view is that ’X’ refers to Lamber?” “Yes." "Now, Mr I*ambert. is quoted in this message as saying T am standing at Y's elbow.' ” "Lambert said he was sticking very close to Senator Walsh and attending to his duties diligently.” "So you think ‘Y’ was Senator Walsh?" Walsh broke in. “Yes, Lambert said I am .n close touch with Senator Walsh and standing by the guns or something like that." "Now, the message continues, 'all that is possible to do is being done by us. so you should worry delay selecting of prosecutor.' " “It was at this juncture Bennett said that the 'll. D.' referred to in his telegram to McLean on Feb. 14 was Attorney General Daugherty. The message said Bennett had an appointment with "H. D." for 1 p. m. that day. The conference did not take place until next day, Bennett thought. "Now if we substitute Daugherty for ’X' the message reads that Daugherty said ‘I am at Y's elbow and standing by the guns, etc. The fight Ist oq me and lam feeling fine.' Does that connect up any better?" Substantially Correct "Well, that is substantially what Mr. Daugherty told me as well as Mr. Lambert, strange as lt may seem.," "What did you see Mr. Daugherty about on that day?" "I don’t remember." The spectators broke out into a laugh. Bennett at this point identified “the principal.” mentioned in one bf the rmssagos as Senator Curtis, Repub lit an whip of the Senate. Before giving Curtis' name, Bennett said that what he saifl about "no rockinir of the boat" and "no resignations was based on his own * opinion, gathered at a White House press con ference. Walsh again asked i ennett if he Recollected who "Beaches" and "Apricots" were but Bennett replied he did not. "1 think that referred to selection of the counsel to prosecute the oil lease cnse.fi and there was a delay in picking them.” Who was "/•' to whom Lambert asked that his love be given?” "I think that was Mrs. McLean."
