RISING TREND CONTINUES IN PORKER TRADE

BROKERAGE LOANS ENCOURAGE BEARS TO LAM DRIVE Reports of Three Companies Bring Breaks in Their Issues. Bj/ United, Press NEW YORK, March B.—lncreases of $117,673,000 reported in brokers’ loans for February by the New York Stock Exchange and of $50,891,000 for the week ended March 2 reported by the Federal reserve board were taken to mean that substantial amounts of stock had passed from strong to weak hands over the last month. This situation encouraged the bear crowd to launch another drive on the general list in early dealings on the stock exchange today. Operations for the decline were assisted by further selling, based on woolen and rubber reports and by the appearance overnight of White Motor’s 1926 statement. Several Breaks Motors broke to 51, off 1% from the previous close, while American Woolen sold around low levels of the movement at 22%, and United States Rubber at 62%. General Motors dropped to 165, off 1% from the previous close and Steel to 156%, off %. Stocks ran into an oversold condition in the late morning and rallying tendencies developed in the market. General Motors came back more than a point fropi its earlier low, and other pivotal issues rallied in proportion. , „ . Tone Gets Better The approach of the March tax installment and Treasury financing fqypd a plentiful supply of funds a.v-ailable at 4 per cent. This, together with the improved tone displayed by leading stocks, encouraged the renewal of buying activities in special issues. "Houston Oil advanced sensationally, running up practically six points to 120%. Safety Cable continued to give evidence of steady accumulation. The company’s annual report showed mdre than $S a share on 163,000 shares, with a tendency of earning upward. December earnings, it is claimed, have been running over sl2 a share annually. The annual report showed a ; working capital equal to $33 a share and book va'lue was around $55 a share.

Bit United Press WASHINGTON, March B.—Forest fires took a huge toll in the nation’s timber hesources last year, according to figures submitted to Congress by E. A. Sherman, Associate Forester of the Agricultural Department. The largest number of fires in history, 8,263, occurred in 1926, destroying 257,376 board feet of timber. These fires covered a total area of 722,000 acres. Quick Action While the number of fires were the largest in history, quick action by the Forestry Service prevented the damage from becoming .vs great as that of other years. In 1919 there were 6,800 fires which destroyed 3(713,903, the largest destruction on record. “We had one of our occasional extreme fire seasons during the summer of 1926,” said Assistant Forester Roy Headley. In terms of area burned over there have only been four worse seasons since national forests were created. In terms of the cost for fire fighting, there has been only one year where it has been more "expensive. Lightning Cause “The trouble during the past season was not so much in the number of fires, because the number was slightly less than normal for recent years; but was due chiefly to the bunching of lightning’ fires. Most of the lightning fires came from two storms, one of July 6-and one on July 12. So many fires started the latter one, that the available force of guards and rangers was not able to get around fast enough to keep them under control. These two storms covered practically the whole of northern Washington and northern’ Idaho and Qie western part of northern Montana. Since 1916 a total of 67,824 fires have destroyed 6,064,240,000 board feet of timber, Produce Markets Butter (wholesale price)—Creamery best grade, a pound, 63056 c.
