The first quotation on General Motors appeared about ten minutes after the opening—7,000 shares at 194 and 3,000 shares at 193%, up 4 to 3Vi. Later the price rose to 194 %, when some profit-taking was encountered and the issue eased to193’i, but quickly came back, rising to 194 T 4. The maximum is a new record for the present shares. Hupp was a sensational performer. The opening sale was for 20,000 shares at 59, up 5, and anew high and subsequently a sale ot 5,000 shares also at 59. Duran interests .were reported taking this issue. The price was later pushed to 61, up 7. Rails were in better demand. New York Central, Great Northern preferred, St. Paul and Pennsylvania also advanced more than a point. Industrials were generally strong, with mail order shares ris_ing sharply. United States Steel Was quiet but strong. Considerable profit taking went ahead under cover of strength in leaders. Describing the stock market, the Wall Street Journal's financial review said: Widespread attention was attracted throughout the country over the by John J. Raskob's optimistic statement regarding General Motors prospects. His prediction of considerably higher prices for the stock brought a flood of buying orders from every part of the Nation. As if in reply to the widespread predictions that a reaction was about to set in and stop the big raUy in Wall Street, the stock exchange announced that anew high price had just been paid for a membership in the exchange. The new high was $375,000. an increase of $25,000 over the price paid for a seat last week. The stock closed Saturday at 193 after advancing appreciably on the statement of John Raskob, chairman of the company's finance committee, that it was worth 225 a share. Other automobile stocks including Hupmobile and Durant, were carried up with the motors boom. The rate of sales again was setting a three million share pace. General Motors’ advance was slowed down by in the late morning. Howevei, Steel common took its place at the head of the forward movement, running up 3% points to 151 "r. Radio Corporation also resumed its imrush, soaring 7 points to 158. Renewal of the advance in Radio was atrributed to buying by the same group which has been sporing its market for some time. Studebaker mounted to the best levels of the movement. Accumulation was attributed to a strong pool recently organized by financial interests close to the management. These people have been gratifid by the growth of Studebaker export sales. Hupp's foreign sales are also showing a steady increase. Its exports during the first two months of 1927 were 71 per cent greater than in the corresponding period last year.

In the Stock Market

IBy Thomson & McKinnon* NEW ' YORK, March 26.—Pertinent to the immediate stock market is the passing of the Wales bill in New York, permitting life insurance companies to invest in securities junior to bonds. The companies affected are responsible for 80 per cent of the national life insurance and have millions of dollars available weekly for investment. Ins life nee companies, banks, foundations and like institutions generally limit purchase to securities representing leadership and practical monopoly in some particular industry. Hence the shares of the leading smelting and refineries, telephone, chemical, automobile, railroad, equipment. Can and particular specialties are, undoubtedly ths issue to which investors and traders should direct their attention, for with floating supply being continually reduced by these and other investors, better market activity should prevail. My opinin remains optimistic, but with caution. 'NUT’ CAST IS cTIOSEN Charles McNaull to Take Leading Role in Shortridge Play.

GRAIN FUTURES FAIL TU SHOW EXPECTED GAIN Rains May Slow Country Corn Move; lowa Reports Snow. Pel t nited Press CHICAGO. March 26.—Despite general rains and unfavorable weather over the belt, grain futures showed little upward movement at today's colorless opening .on the Board of Trade. Opening figures: Wheat, % cent lower to % cent higher; corn, ofl % to % cent, and oats off % to % cent. Provisions opened lower. The trend in all grains, however, was expected to be upward, and the undertone was firm. Wheat's small fractional gains were due to the unsettled weather over central winter wheat areas. Temperatures in some sections were reported dangerously low. The rainy weather was expected to slow up the country corn movement considerably this week. I(*wa points reported snow and temperatures down to the freezing point. Oats followed ether grains, with no news of consequence in the pit. Chicago Grain Table March 25 WHEAT— Prcv. High.

Cat That Wouldn’t Scat Rises to Feline Nobility

V, 4k*'V -1 a JjM. , ...i —— ' I

Abe has a special history. A big new hotel is his home: a parlor maid brings him his milk, and he’s the pet of the manager.

Once Just a Street Cat, Now Is Coddled by Maid and Chef. NEA Scr\irc NEW YORK. March 26.—This is the story of Abe, the kitten who wouldn’t scat. Most cats give first consideration to comfort in choosing a home, but Abes mother elected as her residence the corner of Eight Ave. and Forty-Fifth St.. New York, at a time when wreckers were at work tearing down a block of brownstone fronts to make room for a thirtystory hotel. Multiplication! Before the debris was cleared, and while the concrete caissons were being sunk, she presented the world with three sons. One was black with a white star on his breast, one mouse-colored and the third a counterpart of the mother—white with tiger markings. During the steel construction. Mistress Tabby had the aid of workmen in looking after her family. They shared their slabs of pork or salami. News of the cat family spread and theatrical folk brought milk and tidbits. When the babies were big enough to run over the steel girders, and could be trusted to look after themselves. Tabby disappeared. Then the little black fellow and the mouse-colored one went away. But the little gray and white cat, with eyes as big as saucers, refused to leave. And Lookin’ In The workmen continued to share their lunch buckets with him. and pedestrians who had come to know him stopped to stroke his back and scratch his ears. Finally the big hotel was ready for its huge bronze doors, and the kitten found himself outside. The only home he had ever known was denied him. The doorman, pompous in his new , uniform, felt it his duty to keep ! stray cats out of such a grand ediI flee, and ‘'scatted" him down the street. But young Saucer Eyes was resourceful. He sat on the pavement in the falling snow and waited. When the doorman's back was turned and the door revolved, the kitty went with it and scampered up the carpeted stairs. A Feline Utopia He wandered up to the mezzanine floor and sampled the chairs. They were roomy and soft—a snugly place for a cold, weary cat to sleep. The hotel manager, James T. Clyde, heard the cat’s story about that time. It happens Clyde has a farm in Franklin County that is an animal’s paradise. A memorandum was sent to the heads of all departments, saying: “A half-grown cat has adopted the Hotel Lincoln as its permanent ; home. Cats have always been regarded as a good omen, especially I when they come to the door unsolicited. This kitten has a special history. He was born on the .site of the present hotel, and spent its life in the debris while the hotel was in course of construction. “Let us all be kind to our new mascot. His name from now on is ‘Abe’.” N Service —And How! A French chef now carves Abe’s daily dish of meat, and a parlor maid in stiffly starched white cap and apron brings him his milk. When a guest of the hotel remarks “Oh, what a beautiful cat!” Abe knows that is his cue to shake the silver bells on his shiny red collar. Anyone who strokes his- head is sure to be rewarded with a grateful pur-r-r-r-! If that rurr could be translated into human tongue, perhaps it would mean “You can get away with anything if you try hard enough!” Badly Hurt in First Plane Ride Pi) United Press CHICAGO, March 26.

I am told he went home to discuss it overnight with his wife, and that when he called Governor Jackson and told him he would accept, he was informed indirectly that the place already was filled—filled by the man who sits here.” Tydings then reviewed the story of Jackson’s trial on a charge that he attempted to bribe former Governor McCray. “After five witnesses had testified in detail to the offer of the bribe, Jackson, without a word of confuting evidence, secured his acquittal on a technicality under the statute of limitations. The people of Indiana have about concluded that, guilty as Warren McCray was, he was much the more honorable in the conference in which Jackson offered him the bribe. “Ninety out of a hundred of them writhe with impotent shame and anger at his continued presence in the Governor's chair, and Jackson was the ostensible source of our friend's appointment here. “Who is Ed Jackson? He campaigned in Stephenson's auto for the governorship of Indiana and the latter claims he spent $73,000 to make Ed Jacwson Governor, which he. succeeded in doing upon a woeful day of a weeping week of a fearful year for Indiana—the year 1924. Coffin Is Target “The Senator's old personal and political pal, George V. Coffin, the political boss who conferred with Jackson the midnight Robinson was appointed, goes on trial May 2, or so I am told, for complicity in Jackson's attempt to bribe McCray. “The conspirators, so I am informed, wanted to seize the prosecutcrship of Marion County and offered McCray SIO,OOO for it. According to testimony at the Governor’s trial, they wanted to control this position because they believed they thus could control 10,000 votes in the Indianapolis underworld and shift them to the support of Ed Mackson. In his campaign for Governor, and thereby to the support of the precious crew of rascals led by Stephenson, who wanted to kidnap and gut the State of Indiana. “It was as vile a conspiracy and as unholy a purpose as ever stained the pages of history; a conspiracy which merits the deep condemnation of every honest man. Has the Senator ever uttered condemnation of it? No. lie goes wild-goose chasing into other States to divert the attention of the citizens of Indiana from their own affairs. Aid Under Indictment “I am also informed, among other things, that the Senator, in * his forthcoming campaign for reelection, will be without the services of his campaign manager of two years ago, one Ora Davies, who cannot lend his power to the Senator because he is under indictment on a charge of getting a rake-off on State funds deposited by him when State treasurer in a bank whicli later failed. “I also am Informed that for the same reason Davies has resigned the lucrative position of receiver of a National bank at Noblesville, Ind.. to which he was appointed by the Senator's influence. “Perhaps the Senator's own debt to the kindly offices of an appointive power so filled him with the milk of human kindness that he was willing to extend it in this fashion. Will ho not digress from his histrionical and hysterical discussion of appointments in other States to discuss this one?” Tydings brought out the indictment of Clyde Walb, former Republican State chairman, who. he said “had aided greatly in the Senator's campaign for election in 1923 by charging that the Democrats and the international bankers were spending millions of dollars to defeat the Senator in Indiana. Raps Dry Corrections “Is not the Senator's law firm representing many bootleggers before the Indiana courts while he makes speeches throughout the State under the auspices and at the expense of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, upholding the sacrcdness of the law has proven so profitable as well as sacred to his legal partners?" he asked. “Was lie not accused out of the letter-file of a distinguished colleague of seeking by improper means to modify the sentence of the Anti--Saloon League superintendent who then was before the State Supreme Court on a contempt charge and improperly to influence the court? “The Senator, in a hysterical way. unworthy of the calm which should distinguish a great statesman, has , discoursed to us of the imaginary/ evils of an appointment in New York, and has said that ‘birds of a feather flock together’. I invite his further discourse upon the subject of appointments and the evils of that company, with special reference to Indiana, and to his own case.” Average Man Is Happiest Pji United Press NEW YORK, March 26.—The average man is happier than the millionaire, Dean Charles Reynold Brown of the Yale Divinity School told a church congregation her*.
