NUMEROUS ISSUES TOUCH NEW HIGHS ONCURRENT RALLY No Interruption to Forward Movement Occurs to Check Advance. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. March 14.—Further impetus to recovery in the general list was imported at the opening today by Paris confirmation of the belief prevailing in Wall St. that the big credit extended to France meant that Poincare had acquiesced to the Dawes reparation plan. Steel reached a newhigh on the move at 103*4 and Corn Products at 180, while other leaders displayed a strong tone. Southern Railways first common dividend in thirty years continued to be reflected In activities of the stock at record levels and in other medium priced rails like Wabash preferred (A) which made anew 1924 high. First Hour Stocks continued to mow ahead during the first hour, practically all active Industrials reaching new highs on the recovery. General Electric at 221. Studehaker at 102, Steel at 103% and Bethlehem at 57%, while Baldwin reached 124. Market Street prior preferred was an exception, breaking 3 to 45 on elimination of the $6 dividend. Copper shares made a better response to steps toward stabilization of the franc, which Is expected to be followed by an agreement on reparations, which will result in large purchases of the heavy metal for export. Second Hour Interest around noon converged on a remarkable display of strength in a group of high priced industrials, in which Kresge had a sensational jump of 20 points to 335 and General Electric repeated its best price since 1922 at 224%. Both companies are doing a record business. General Electric was also helped by reports of a capital readjustment on a basis highly favorable to stockholders. Wabash preferred A went into new high ground since 1917 at 46%, impelled by fresh buying on the prospect of the establishment of a $5 annual dividend rate. Twenty active industrial stocks on Thursday averaged 98.25, up .67 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.31, up .28 per cent. New York Money Market By United Financial NEW YORK.

GRAINS GET OFF TO HIGHER START Wheat Is Leader in Initial Strength, By United J inancial CHICAGO, March 14.—Grains start ed strong on the Board of Trade to day. Wheat was the leader in the opening strength. Improved export business and higher Liverpool prices induced locals to support the market. The advance, however, is expected to be short lived, as traders are still in a waiting mood and unwilling to ex tend commitments until the Washington situation is clarified. Com went up with wheat, light receipts and good local support. Liverpool reported American corn offerings being readily absorbed. Argentine crop weather is ideal and picking is progressing favorably.

All weights and classes brought $7.60, compared with $7.65, the predominating price on Thursday, while a few fancy droves commanded a top of $7.65, compared with $7.70 on previous trading. Shippers were the first to enter the market and succeeded in establishing the $7.60 price and in securing more than half the local receipts before local packing interests entered the market. Kingan & Cos. bought on the decline, but were unable to get more than about 2,000 head. Sows and pigs held generally steady with bows selling down from $6.50 and pigs down generally from $6.75. though smooth kinds of Doth varieties commanded tops of a quarter more. The day’s receipts touched ,500 or more head. Inclusive of 431 carryovers. Receipts In the truck division remained light, but were larger than on Thursday, due to the improved condition of' highways. Trading in the cattle market was rather dull, due to light receipts of 600 head and the common quality of the stock received, but prices' managed to hold fairly firm, due to a good demand from practically all sources. Large buyers entered the market, but competition lacked the keenness that creates higher prices. Strength predominated in the calf market and choice veals continued to command a top of sl4 50. with the bulk selling from $13.50 to sl4. Receipts. 800. A loss of $1 was registered in the lamb market, choice native-fed kinds selling down from sls. while sheep held steady at $9.50 down. Receipts, 100.
