STOCK MARKET CLIMBS HIGHER OPENING TODAY Pre-Easter Upturn Resumed in List Regardless of Brokerage Increase.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 21212, up 2.30. Average of twenty rails was 142.91, up 1.10. Average of forty bonds was 99.39, up .07. By United Press NEW YORK, April 9.— lgnoring entirely the increase of nearly $154,000,000 in brokerage loans reported Thursday, the stock market today continued the advance in progress before the long Easter vacation. The opening was strong with United States Steel and other leading Industrials higher. Rails were again in demand, while motor shares generally advanced. New York tractions soared with irregularity. General Motors opened at 195, up IM, rose to 19514 and then reacted to 19414 Anaconda soared 4% points to 71 in heavy turnovers, but later eased to 69. Radio Corporation sold off 1% to 18116. * Rails Go Up In the rail division Pittsburgh & West Virginia spurted 2Vs to 157 and Kansas City Southern 2 points to 59. Shares of United States Rubber common broke sharply. The common was down more than 2 points, while the preferred broke 6Vs to 79, anew low for the year. Pressure was due to the action of directors in passing the common dividend. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said: “The Stock Exchange loan figures for March showed a gain of 317,000,000, which was $200,000,000 more than the Federal Reserve total for the first three weeks of last month. In other words, the latest Federal Reserve figures largerly reflected a situation which the stock market had been informed of by the Stock Exchange announcement last week. Consequently no selling was occasioned by the loan figures in the early dealings and stocks moved ahaed under an accumulation of buying orders over the holiday.” Strong Tone Maintained Stocks maintained a strong tone in the late morning dealings, despite the firmer money conditions. Banks called about $20,000,000 in loans and the outlook was for a tightening of the demand rate of 5 per cent from a renewal rate of 5V4 per cent. However, principal trading stocks were active at the best levels of the movement and vigorous buying activities proceeded in numerous sections of the list. Among the features on the upside were N. W. Dairy Products, Gillett Safety Razor, American Linsed, Co-ca-Cola and Greene-Cananea. Tickers Behind in Activity By United Press NEW YORK", April 9.—Stock market trading resumed at an active pace after the long Easter holiday, dealings being at the rate of 5,000,000 shares during the first hour today. Prices generally were higher with several issues soaring. Tickers ran about 15 minutes behind the market in the first hour.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 9.—Good morning. There is a display of vim and vigor around this morning and we have hopes that it yill permate the market. Week-end news from Federal Reserve centers indicate continued improvement in general business and on a broader scale. The meeting of eastern trunk line railroad executives lends hope that progress is being made in the right direction although no official statement has been forthcoming. However, the American Railway Association estimates that freight car demand for twenty-nine principal commodities will exceed last year by 325,000, and when all is said and done it is from the basic industries the most dependable data on which to judge the future is obtained. It is hoped that traders will continue the selective trading begun last week, thereby giving the market a degree of stability. A choice made in the high grade rail and motor shares would seem the most logical and desirable commitments for the present. MRS. LINDBERGH FLIES Lands at Toronto After Stormy Flight. /j'.v United Press TORONTO, April 9.—Mrs. Evangeline Lodge Lindbergh, with Miss Maud Dawson of Detroit, landed at Leaside aerodrome at 11:15 a. m., after a stormy trip from Detroit, Mich., in a flve-passenger Buhl cabin plane piloted by Louis G. Meisler of Buhl Aircraft Company. Mrs. Meisler also was in the party. They were an hour late.

GRAIN MARKET 80 YEARS OLD Chicago Board of Trade Celebrates Anniversary. By Times Special CHICAGO. April 9.—Soldier boys of the World War and veterans cf the Spanish American War paraded the streets here amid the blare of bands and the booming of cannon. The occasion was the eightieth birthday of the Chicago Board of Trade, the largest commodity exchange in the world. Speakers at the meeting, held on the spacious trading floor of the exchange with its vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows, traced the history of the grain market from its creation by leading Chicago merchants one foggy morning back in 1848. American Legion officers sketched the activities of the Chicago exchange during the Civil. Spanish American and World Wars and praised the work still being done by the Board of Trade Post of the Legion, under whose auspices today’s program was carried out. It was the Civil W T ar, speakers declared, that brought about future trading, which for years made the excharge the pivotal point in political controversies. In order to insure the armies of bread, the risk of heavy futures buying was made, and the plan has proven so economic that it has grown to present proportions. Nearly thirteen billion bushels of physical grain have been received in Chicago during the last sixty-five years and ten billion bushels shipped out. Four hundred million bushels are now handled annually.

Sandino at End of Rope, Returned Marine Says

Lieut. C. Connette Tells of Adventures, Conditions in Nicaragua. Sandino, the Nicaraguan revolutionary leader, is at the end of his string, and, if he stays with his men, can not avoid speedy capture, said First Lieutenant C. Connette of the Marines, home at 726 Colorado Ave., after a over a year’s service on the Nicaraguan “front.” The mountainous nature of the country, and the thick woods and jurigle, however, make it difficult to promise his apprehension if he should elect to abandon his ragged followers to their fate, Connette said. Lieutenant Connette gave a vivid description of battles fought in the gloomy forests, where the sole tactics lay in ambush and .“shooting at the noise” of the native machine guns. Seldom were the Marine combatants able to see any of the revolutionists until the captured, dead and wounded came to light after the battle was over. Arms Come From Mexico Arms for the rebels have mostly been obtained through Mexico, Connette stated. The Bolshevist influence in the revolt has been slight, although several Russian agitators have been discovered and deported by the Nicaraguan government. Sanitary conditions in general through the country have been vastly bettered under the rule of the Marines; malaria has been practically overcome in all the territory cotnrolled by the corps. The country as a whole has suffered as a result of the almost constant guerilla warfare prior to the Marine occupation. The barefoot “armies” of the different presidential “candidates - by-force-of-arms” live off the country they traverse, constantly denuding it of livestock and edibles. That is the reason the better, element of the Nicaraguan population thoroughly is in favor of the Marine occupation, and hopes for its indefinite extension. The poorer element of Nicaraguans, on the contrary, having nothing to lose, are ready to follow any politician who will give them a rifle and promise plenty of pillage. This is the element from which Sandino’s force has been recruited. Americans Employ Many /--cri-an industry employs thousands of Nicaraguans, paying them better wages than the average for the country, Connette said. The welfare work done by American employers is noticeable in the citizens of the towns in which American firms are active. An excellent opportunity was given Litutenant Connette to observe these facts since he was stationed several months in command of the force policing the largest American colony on the east coast —Puerta Cabezas. Connette witnessed the heroic work of Lieut. C. F. Schilt, who made ten aeroplane trips under fire, carrying Marines wounded with Captain Livingston's ambushed party to Managua for hospital treatment. Schlit was forced to land his plane, and take off, from a space made by tearing down houses within the town. Lieutenant Connette was born and raised in Indianapolis, and obtained his education i:i the city’s schools. He lias been more than twentythree years in the service. He will remain at his home for thirty days, and prcceed to Cincinnati for recruiting duty. INDORSE NEGRO DOCTOR 41 Colored Physicians Support G. O. P. Candidate.

GREENSBURG MAN HELD Arrested for Driving Wrong Way Around Monument Circle. Earl Davis, 24. giving his address as Greensburg, Ind., is held at the city prison today under a vagrancy charge because he drove his automobile the wrong direction around Monument Circle. Police reported that Davis had a gun holster strapped to him, but they were unable to locate a gun.
