The rest of the market continued to mount to higher levels, helped by retention of the 5 per cent rediscount rate, a decrease of $20,000,000 in brokerage loans and favorable bank statement by the federal reserve.

In the Stock Market

inomson ivxuxvuiiiuii; NEW YORK, March 15.—1 tis quite likely that some disappointment will be felt over the small decrease in brokers loans, but the fact that the New York bank rate has been left undisturbed comes as no surprise. Secretary Mellon’s suggestion that this is an opportune • time to purchase bonds can only have a favorable interpretation in view of his further remarks to the effect that although some stocks appear too high, many of them are still good investment. One of the outstanding bullish factors is the invasion of the European field by our two largest automobile organizations, foreign trade playing as it /'does such an important part in our financial prosperity. It is virtually impossible this morning to finer a single piece of news that can be construed otherwise than favorable and the market will probably reflect this condition until it again comes into conflict with the credit situation.

Hamilton, Public Health Nursing Association. The association recently has made an investigation of beggars who “work” the city streets. The majority are in a combine, Miss Hamilton said. Some of them are employed by organizations with headquarters in other $ cities to which they must share a certain percentage of the money they collect. Others are independent of suth organizations and work alone. There are three different types of beggars “working” here, the investigation showed. The fakir, who “makes up” as a cripple. The cripple or blind person, who, in most instances, seems in dire need of medical attention, and the “moocher,” who asks only for the “price of a meal.” The fakirs take precaution, Miss

Hamilton asserts, in such a manner that it is difficult to prosecute them. Police have been ridiculed for arresting them. One blind woman who begs on the downtown streets owns an apartment house here, Miss Hamilton said. Another begger, a legless man, is driven to and from his “work'’ in an automobile and it is known that he takes an annual “vacation” to Florida each winter, taking his wife and child with him. Several of the crippled beggers own automobiles, one employes a chauffeur, and several of them own their own homes. The Public Health Nursing Association, a member agency of the Indianapolis Community Fund, has offered free medical attention to numerous crippled beggers. Miss Hamilton stated, but none has accepted. In the opinion of Miss Hamilton, the beggars will continue to work Indianapolis. “The public is very sympathetic,” she said, “ft probably does not occur to some persons that any one in the city deserving of assistance might be referred to one of the seven Community Fund relief agencies where their case will be given assistance immediately.”
