BRISK TRADING FOLLOWS WELCOME OVERNIGHT NEWS humored That France Is to Resume Reparations Negotiations, *WAIT EXPERTS’ REPORT Copper Makes Particularly Good Response to the Foreign Situation, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. April 3.—Brisk trading at rising prices in early dealings today represented the market’s welcome of over-night news that France would undertake reparations negotiations with her allies immediately after the experts’ report is received, which probably may be Monday, instead of waiting until after the German elections on May 4. Coppers made particularly good response. Anaconda, Kenncott, Utah and other active issues scored fractional gains. Heavy buying of Union Pacific attracted attention on the railroad list, the stock reaching new high ground for the cur-' rent movement. First Hour Trading continued at a good rate through the first hour, maintaining the better tone in evidence in initial dealings. Auto Knitter broke to a new low for the year at 3% on heavy sales, but this incident failed to disturb the general list in which fresh operations for the rise took place in various stocks. Southern Pacific followed the strength in Union Pacific, selling at 59%, against Wednesday’s low of S6t£. American Beet Sugar preferred’s 7-point junftp to 77 was reported due to response to recent resumption of common dividends. Second Hour Speculative attention was diverted into the carrier group on an increasing scale until rails were accounting for the bulk of the turnover in the late morning. Erie’s new high on the present upswing at 2614 and Rock Island’s at 25% were features of the low-priced class, while the Pacifies scored biggest gains of the Standard issues, Union Pacific reaching 131%. up 2*4, and Southern 90%, up 114. Strength in the latter two stocks is not to be wondered at when it is recalled that Union was selling 10 points higher a year ago. Twenty active industrial stocks on Wednesday averaged 94.50, up 1.00 per cant, twenty active rails averaged 82.04, up .66 per cent.

Speakers are ; urging everybody to submit periodically to a physical examination. Many trifling ailments, if discovered • early, can .be easily eliminated. If they are allowed to “take hold” they develop into chronic and often Incurable maladies, which shorten the victim's life by many years, they point out. “The life span of the normal man or woman within a few generations will be 100 years.” declared Dr. Lee K Frankel of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, urging the annual “health inventory,” at the first of the series of public meetings under the auspices of the department of health.

In an eight-year demonstration at Framing- | ham. Mass., the death rate for tuberculosis was reduced from 120 per 100,000 of population to thirty-eight. The other case was an educational drive for baby welfare at Thetford Mines, a small community in Quebec, by which the first-year mortality ; among the babies was reduced from 300 per 1,000 babies born to seventyuix.
