LIGHT PORKERS RISE; HEAVIES FALL
STOCKS TURN HEAVY AFTER 9-POINT CAIN Fall Is Result of Direct Professional Attack on Mart. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Saturday, was 153.03. up .03. Average price of twenty rails for Saturday, was 111.21. up .80. Bu United Presit NEW YORK, March 13.—Following- the week's recovery in the general list which brought about a rebound of 9 points In the DowJones industrial average, as compared with tho low point of the recent break, stocks turned gencYallv heavy again in today’s session. Obviously this development was the outcome of determined professional attack designed to test th§ market’s underlying strength. These maneuvers demonstrated that the buying power was still extremely cautious and decidedly unwilling to follow price up. a condition which made it easy for the bear crowd to depress prices. Large selling orders were directed against U. S. Steel and substantial recessions were forced in the whole industrial group in the weight of the heaviness created in this leader Buying power in the early dealings was not aggressive and price changes in the main body of stocks was irregular with fractional recessions predominant among speculative leaders. Sentiment regarding spring business was uncertain, due to slackening in many lines. However, this tendency v.as ascribed by weekly, mercantile reviews to seasonal factors and various indications of expanding demand.

GRAIN PRICES CLOSE HIGHER Wheat Advances Shortly After Opening. By United Prcns CHICAGO. March 13. —Grain prices closed higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat closed fractionally higher. This grain advanced during the early part of the session on the strength of the higher Liverpool opening and the firmness at Winnipeg. However, recessions from the opening began to be felt its the session advanced. These resulted when eastern houses began to unload. For a time local dealers followed the easterners, but later Chicago huyers jumped in, checking the Inroads made by the unloaders. Corn closed fractionally higher. The market in this grain apparently varies in sympathy with wheat. Oats closed unchanged In all deliveries. Provisions closed unchanged. Chicago Grain Table —March 13— WHEAT— Trey. Open. High. Low.

In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK March 13.—The further recovery in ✓sugar futures today was directly due to the hardening tendency in refined sugar prices. One leading refiner has withdrawn all special prices and effective Monday morning will quote granulated on a firm basis of 5 rents for prompt shipment or for thirty days contracts. 1 This was commonly interpreted as an indication of an impending increase in demand for the refined product, and it apeared that many were confident that the refined sugar company in question felt sure of its ground. How far the recovery in futures will go will depend upon the demand for raw and refined in face of the pegging of the price in the latter at 5 rents a pound and upon tho attitude of other refiners toward this newest development in the market.

Light weight material was boosted 10c, while other grades, particularly heavies, were lowered 10c. This split was due to influence of competitive markets and a heavier demand for light weight stuff. Choice lights and light Rights commanded the top quotation of $14.35, and the bulk of the matured hogs were sold at prices ranging from $13.50 to sl4. Receipts were light, even for a Saturday, and were estimated at 2,500. Holdovers from the Friday trailing period totaled 284 and Were added to the total fresh receipts. Hog Price Scale Trading was done over the following scale of values: Heavy weight material brought $11.70® 12.90; mediums sold at $13.15© 13.50; lights were ? 13.85@ 14.10; light lights commanded a price of sl4; pigs cashed at $13.50@14; smooth packing sows averaged sll @11.25; rough packing sows were $10.50@ 10.75, and stags sß@ll. Only a few cattle were in the open market at the start and trading was hampered by the light receipts. The offering was estimated at only 200 and consisted of ordinary material. ITices .were quoted as steady, however, with steers priced at s6@ll; heifers, s6@lo, and cows, [email protected]. Lambs Are Steady About 200 sheep and lambs were in the pens at the start of the trading period and these moved to the scales very early at steady prices. Choice lambs were priced at sl2@ 13.50, and sheep were $4 @7.50. Calf prices slumped slightly from the extreme top price of sls set in trading Friday. The top price in the morning was $14.50 for the very best veals. The bulk of the sales were unchanged at sl4 @14.50.

SCHOOL ECUADOR One of _O Smallest South AmerY\. \ . ican Countries. ■ Copyright. Compton'* Pictured Encyclopedia Feature Service
One of the smallest of the South American republics, Ecuador has some striking points of difference from its neighbors, for the narrow arid coast line characteristic of northern Chile and Peru here gives tvay to a broad seaboard clad in tropical verdure. This arises from the fact that the Antarctic current, who cold waters prevent the evaporation of the sea water to form rain is suddenly turned westward by the bulging coast of Peru. The coast of Ecuador therefore enjoys the abundant rains of most tropical countries, and it’s broad plains are covered with dense forests and tillable soil which will some day be a source of great wealth. Ecuador is further unique in that it only lias the only considerable group of navigable waterways, and the only important gulf—the Gulf of Guayaquil—on the whole Pacific coa&t of South and Central America. A 300-mlle railroad journey to the northeast of the city of Guayaquil (the republic's only seaport, population, 105,000.), ascending the steep slojies of the Andes to a height of 9,343 feet brings the traveler to the capital Quito, one of the strangest cities in the world. Although Quito (population 70,000) is within fifteen miles of the Equator, its great height gives it a climate of perpetual spring. One season is so like another that planting and harvesting go on side by side. Above the city tower great mountain peaks which, though in the heart of the tropics, never lose their mantle of snow. Ecuador, which is the Spanish name for Equator, is the only equatorial region in the world permanently habitable for white men. Ecuador today furnishes nearly all the world’s supply of Panama hats. Ecuador's climates —for it has several varieties —are arranged In vertical belts. Above the tropical lowlands. the abode of perpetual summer, lie the plateaus inclosed be-t-ween the eastern and western ranges of the Andes, where it is always spring, and higher still unbroken winter makes life almost lmBirths Boys Georije and Kathaleen Glass.
