KEEK OPENS WITH FLOOD OF SELLING IN SPECIAL ISSUES General List Not Influenced by Heaviness of Some Stocks. Average Stock Prices Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 160.56. off .12. Average of twenty rails was 127.07, up .44. Average of forty bonds was 06.94. up .05. new high. Bu United Press NEW YORK, March 21.—A flood of selling in special stocks starlet# the new week on the stock exchange. It was evident that bad breaks in these issues in Saturday’s session had brought in large offering over Sunday and new lows on the movement were reached in early dealings. Houston Oil broke 2 points to lOC, Continental Baking at 1% to 48%, Warner Bros., 3% to 24% and American Brown Boveri % to 29%. •However, the heaviness pf these tales failed to unsettle the general iist, which maintained a fairly confldent tone. Delaware. Lackawana & Western was a feature of strength among rails, rising to anew high since 1921, at 165, up a point from ihe previous close. Sentiment in professional quarters turned extremely pessimistic following the bad break during the morning and attempts to rally the market around noon met determined resistance. Recoveries of 1 to- 2 points took place in stocks which had suffered the severest declines but the comeback was slowed down, by large offerings for short account. However, constructive interests appeared to be just as confident as the bear crowd and good buying on price recessions was reported in Atchison, Steel common, General Motors and Du Pont.

March 21.—The largest decline in sugar prices in any week so far this year has just occurred, but that fact doesn’t seem to interest buyers of raws. I think that technically the market is entitled to a rally, and. moreover. I feel confident that better prices will prevail later in the season. But usitil domestic refiners and foreign buyers come more actively into the market any appreciable improvement will be deferred, in my opinion. DEARTH'S ML GETS UNDER WAY (Continued From Page 4) against Dearth at Muncief. Representative Delph McKesson, Plymouth, is chairman of tho board of managers and he and Representative J. Glenn Harris, Dake County, were to take the lead in conduct of the prosecution. Van Nuys announced that while he and Lairy would make arguments upon the demurrer and make the opening statements for the defense. Van Ogle, Muncie attorney and close friend of Dearth, would question witnesses. Senators Here Early Some Senators arrived Sunday, most of them reaching the city this morning. Lieutenant Governor Van Orman, who presides, arrived Sunday evening. Ready to Proceed Jurisdiction of the Legislature in impeachment matters has been challenged by the State administration on the grounds of unconstitutionality. The Senators feel certain that they are within their just powers, however, and expressed their willingness to proceed. It would be possible for an adjournment to be taken until constitutionality of the law of 1897, under which the impeachment was brought, is tested by the courts, but this also is considered unlikely. Within Powers Representatives HaiVis, Gary, and McKesson declare that since study- , ing the matter they are sure that the Legislature acted within its constitutional powers and that the trial should proceed. “I was at first of the opinion that judges could not be impeached," Representative Harris declared. "Since then I have made a study j of the law* and feel that this pro- | cedure of the Legislature is entirely constitutional.” Representative Carlson has spent two weeks, in Muncie ! and returned to Indianapolis Sunday with two brief cases stuffed with documents. “Ample Evidence” "We have ample evidence to sub stantiate the charges," he declared Dearth is charged with having in terfered with the freedom of tin press by haling newsboys into the courthouse and taking away theii t papers by force and with jury tarn pering and illegalities. A "friendly suit," aimed to test the constitutionality of the impeachment law, is pending in the Marlon Circuit Court. It was brought to mandate Gover nor Jackson to appoint a temporary judge for Dearth’s bench, setting forth that Dearth has been impeached. Demurrers were filed by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom for the Governor and Van Nuys for | Dearth, but no ruling has been forthcoming as yet. SCORES LEAVE MUNCIE Witnesses Come to Indianapolis in Dearth Trial. Itu United Press MUNCIE, Ind., March 21. —Scores of Muncie citizens left here for Indianapolis today to answer subpoenas as witnesses in the impeachment trial of Judge Clarence W. Dearth before the State Senate. Among the witnesses leaving by train and automobiles were Joseph H. Davis,, prosecuting attorney. Francis A. Shaw, president of the Muncie Bar Association; Thomas V. Miller, attorney for Editor George R. Dale, whose local weekly paper was surpressed by Judge Dearth several weeks ago, and several city and county officials. Delaware County may be without a Circuit Court during the trial of Judge Dearth, it was indicated today. Dearth has appointed no I temporary successor to the bench. SINCLAIR ASKS RETRIAL Bn United Press WASHINGTON, March 21.—Harry F. Sinclair, millionaire oil man, convicted last week of contempt of the Senate, because, in refusing to answer oil investigation committee questions in 1924, filed today in the District Supreme Court a motion for anew trial.

All runs were smaller than usual for the first day of the week. The fact that only 1,500 hogs were received caused the market to rise 10 to '.5 cents on the hundredweight. This advance was also in accord with conditions al the Chicago stockyards. The same increase in prices was made there. Local holdovers numbered 602. Most of the trading in porkers was at $11.40@ 12, with some material selling at the top figure of $12.10. Hog Price Range Offerings in the 160-200-pound class went at ? 1 I.SOwSv 12; 200-250 pounds, [email protected]; 250 pounds up, [email protected]. Pigs and packing sows One Equals Zero — Sometimes! There are times when one is no more than none, or at least that’s what traders learned at the stockyards this morning. The number of livestock received today was below normal in all branches, being attributed to the flood conditions in Indiana. In three of the four divisions of the market, nevertheless, the runs were large enough to establish markets. But what about the fourth department? Well, it was slightly different. At least, that’s what was uncovered in a comparison of official reports and unofficial comments by the same officials isuing these reports. The official statiistics showed that no sheep and lambs came to the stock market today, but the fact remained that one lone ovine arrived from somewhere. But it couldn’t be counted, for it takes more than one animal to establish market prices. Nevertheless, calculists. statisticians and trigonomitrists continued to kid the livestock men into believing that one sheep was nothing more than a cipher. continue to sell at $11.75 down and $9.75® 10.50, respectively.

WEEK SEES FOUR ISSUES AT NEW HIGH LEVELS Six-Day Period Ends With Gains Registered—G. M. C., Steel, Du Pont at Top.

By Elmer C. Waller (Manager United Press Financial Service) NEW YORK, March 21.—After a few days of genuine bullish tendency the stock market met profit taking which sent prices of leading issues down and caused the entire j list to present an irregular appearance. Investment stocks and several of the outstanding shares in the speculative group met the gelling with a staunch front, closing the week with gains. .* General Motors, U. S. Steel and the new steel stock, National Lead and Dupont were among the leading tehares to reach new high ground for their history, while Continental Baking A, Houston Oil, Warner Brothers Pictures, U. S. Industrial Alcohol and Union Oil of California sold off as much as 10 points. Spectacular Gain One of the outstanding features of the week was the rise in American Telephone and Telegraph to anew record sinco 1903. The issue received stimulus from a rumor of a stock split, tfwo for one, with the new shares on a $5 annual basis. This would net holders an extra dollar a share, since the present rate on the old stock is $9 annually. The rumor was officially denied, ending the stock’s advance and resulting in a falling-off in activity. A. T. & T. is one of the most widely held issues in the country and is primarily an investment share. General Motors received its strength from publication of ifs FebSMALL RALLY IN WHEATEXPECTED All Grains Open Fraction Higher. Bn United Ptess CHICAGO, March 21.—With Liverpool not as weak as expected and the weather over the winter belt, especially in the southwest, not nearly so favorable for growth as during the last week, there Is a disposition among local traders to look for a small rally. Opening prices were unchanged to %c higher than the previous close on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Bearish sentiment was lessened by the fact that wheat prices are down to the lowest of the season, and because there has been considerable covering by shorts who had good profits. Corn opened higher to %c lower than Saturday’s closing figures. With prices down to lowest of season so far, with a drop of % cent on May from the high point of the previous week, and down to nearly as low as a year ago, the trade expects a rally if wheat shows any strength. Oats opened % to %c higher than the previous close. The trade presents nothing attractive to large buyers and values are at a level where it is not considered that there will be a material reduction.

ruary sales record, setting anew mark for that month. U. S. Steel was in demand throughout most of the week following private estimates which placed it at 99 per cent of capacity and the remainder of the steel industry at 85 per cent. National Lead shot up on the expectation of high earnings for 1926, which were justified when the report finally showed more than $34 per share caned in 1926, aguinst sl4 in 1925. National Lead rose 12% for the week; Dupont, 13%: General Motors, B*4, and U. S. Steel, 2*,.* Spring Sales Case Threshing Machine was another issue to meet excellent demand now that the spring season is making sales of implement equipment more plentiful. Case gained seven points for the week. Other sharp advances were scored by National Casli Register up 4 points. Coca Cola up 4%, Mathelson Alkali up Kansas City Southern up 2%, Chandler-Clevelund up 3Vi and Baldwin up 2%. General business, conditions showed a vast improvement over the previous week. So good were some of the reports from various centers that many who had predicted a fulling off in business for the spring began to revise their previous estimates. Both wholesale and retnil business was reported better and the textile trade continued to progress at a fair scale. Foreign exchange trading was enlivened by a spurt in sterling to a new high for the year. Italian*lira, Spanish pesetas and Japanese yen also established records.
