WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK. Jan. 18.—Traders ignored an#increase of nearly $72,000.000 in brokerage loans and continued to bid up prices on the Stock Exchange in early dealings today. Standard Oil of New York was an outstanding feature, opening 25.000 shares at $45 per share, an overnight gain of 50 cents per share. This huge block cost the buyer $1,125,000 in addition to commissions and was seen as a start in a drive to place the oil shares in the forefront of the market. United States Steel opened 600 hares at 1717£. off %, and promptly came back to the previous close of 172 v i. National Cash Register opened 3,000 shares at 103%, up 1%, while Consolidated Gas opened 3,000 shares at 110, unchanged, and Bethlehem Steel 2,000 shares at 83%. off 1%. Many had been expecting further selling on the surprising bulge in brokers’ loans, but the market metsupport on all recessions and in the first fifteen minutes appeared definitely headed to higher levels. Motor shares were stronger as were motor equipments, the latter featured by anew high record in Electric Auto Lite. General Motors rose fractionally and Studebaker and Hupp were in demand. High grade rails like New York Central, Atchison, Baltimore & Ohio and Rock Island, moved forward. A sale of Pennsylvania was made involving 15,000 shares at 82, up %. Later the stock rose to 82%, anew high for the past year. Radio declined 3 points and Sears, | Roebuck declined a point, but other j sections of the industrial list gen- , orally showed substantial advances.

In the Stock Market (By Thomson & McKinnon 1 NEW YORK. Jan. 18.—The increase in brokers loans, while bringing the total close to the peak for all time, is more or less neutralized by a further strengthening of the £old ratio. We are warned to expect an advance in acceptance rates today to within one-eighth of the rediscount rate. Formerly this was regarded as forecasting an advance in the rediscount rate and a similar construction may be placed Upon it at this time. From the standpoint of credits we lean strongly to the idea that the market portion is strained and we believe the situation is one calling for more than the ordinary amount of caution.

Ha United Pret MILWAUKEE, Jan. 18.—An elderly pastor denied from behind the bars of the jail here today that he ever had proposed marriage as a cure for stomach trouble, feeblemindedness or any other disease. The minister. Charles G. Pallotta, was arrested for practicing medicine without a license. Angelo Aiioto, who suffers from disorders the stomach, and his wife, Anna, who is feeble-minded, complained of the minister to the district attorney. They paid him S2OO, they said, to cure them. After salves and “charmed water” recommended by the aged pastor were ineffective, he decided that marriage was the only cure, they said. The ceremony was performed last October and the union has failed to relieve Alioto’s stomach ache or to restore his normal mentality. Pallotta admits that he performed •he marriage but said the coupa came to him voluntarily and asked to be united. He knew nothing of their physical or mental ailments, he said.
