BUSINESS NEWS OVER WEEK-END FOMENTS BULLS Early Dealing in Stocks Stimulated Several Gains Made. f,u United Ureas NEW YORK, March 14.—Business news over the week-end was encouraging to bullish sentiment, particularly the statement of Chairman Gary in connection with issuance of the formal 1926 statement of the Steel Corporation that business was coming in on a uniform basis, demanding prompt delivery. Stocks also had the stimulus in early dealings of buying orders for standard issues from many sections of the country, induced by depreciating bond yields as indicated by the treasury financing program. Shoot Up St. Louis-Southwestern was a feature of the rails, rising to the highest price on record, at 73%, up 1% from the previous close. In the industrial group, Texas Gulf Sulphur achieved .the best level of its history, Kineing fractionally to 57%, reing the expectation of an early ease in the regular $4 dividend. A Mack Truck was a strong' spot among pivotal industrials, spurting 1%, to 107%. No nervousness was caused by calling $10,000,000 loans around noon. Withdrawals were recognized as part of the preparation for tomorrow’s heavy overturn in the money market, but the fact that Saturday’s clearing house statement showed an excessive reserve of $68,136,000 demonstrated that banks were in a position to take care of these settlements without particular strain regarding credit conditions. Aggressiveness Buying activities Went ahead aggressively in many sections of the list. General Motors was easily the outstanding feature of trength, rising to 174%, up 3%, the highest price on record for the shares. National Lead was strong among high-priced industrials, running up 6% to IS6. Notwithstanding recent publication of denials which purported to come from officials of the company well-informed interests continued confident that a' distribution to National Lead stock holders would be made in the near future.

With Cantonese occupation threatening, government soldiers serving as squads of headsmen have patrolled the streets, executing on the spot persons found inciting disorder or disseminating seditious literature. Observe that the swordsman has spread his feet so that they will be out of the way of the heavy blade's descent.

UTILIZES PEAT IN MAKINGOF PAPER German in Wisconsin Perfects Process. Bu United Press STEVENS POINT, Wis., March 14. A process for the manufacture of paper from peat has been discovered by Charles C. Roth, a former paper maker of Germany, now living at Westfield, near here. Roth has been experimenting for the past year and according to an announcement -made here extensive plans are under way to put peatpaper on the market . next spring. Roth has been financed in his investigations by A. Grahn, of Westfield, and a corporation is being formed for the purposes of marketing the new product. A factory built by Roth and Grahn at Westfield will be ready nextspring to turn out 30,000 feet of wallboard a day. The experiments have shown that wrapping paper can also be made from peat and it is possible that this will be manufactured also. Wisconsin is provided with unlimited resources of peat which up to now have been put to no practical use. According to Roth, the peat can be transported to his factory very cheaplyChicago Grain Table WHEAT- “ >lareh 14 ~ Prpv. ~ High. Low. 11:00. close.
