STOCK SHARES SHOW GAINS IN NARROWRANGE Issues Advance Fractionally Despite Profit-Taking, at Mid-Session. Average Stock Prices Average o l thirty industrial* for Wednesday 86.38. up 4.41. Average of twenty rails 37.34, up 1.39. Average of twenty utilities 34.91, up 1.56. Average of forty bonds 80 26, up .31. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, March 3.—The .stock market continued to rally for a time today, ran into profit-tak-ing, then held steady at fractional gains around noon. Trading quieted down. In the first half hour volume was 400,000 shares, or at the rate of 4,000,000 shares for a full session. Steel common reached 50%, reacted a point, and around noon was at 50, up Vi point. Entire List Strengthens American Can declined from 7214 to 71%, up General Electric cased % point from its high and American Telephone was down more than a point from its best of the day. Around noon the list was fractionally above previous closing levels. Fair resistance to pressure was demonstrated, but there was no disposition to carry the rally further. The bond market behaved better than the shares. It rose under the stimulus of buying in railroad issues, notably the low priced securities which have been bolstered by aid from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Nothing happened overnight to affect the market one way or the other. Steel Outlook Brighter Sentiment was improved on the strength in shares Wednesday which accompanied predictions by a large brokerage house of a rising market; better outlook for steel, and improvement in financial condition of Great Britain brought out by word England was to pay oil part of her credits due America and France in advance of maturity. Today's news included a rise in brokerage loans as tabulated by the New York Stock Exchange, the first increase in six moTiths. The Bank of France agreed to extend German short term credit.

In the Cotton Markets

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. March 2.—The cotton market was disposed to do better this morning and had actually accomplished an advance of 5 or 6 points when it was interrupted, as it has been so often recently, by selling which was rightly or wrongly attributed to co-ops. The weeks’ weather, for the first ! time this season, was favorable for ! farm work. The south reports th. t boll weevils have survived the mild | winter in great quantity. The latest figures on fertilizer i sales show a sharp decline from last I year, and in our opinion this will prove to be a more vital factor than i acreage reduction, which, by the way, is now thought will be about j 15 per cent, though we hardly expect more than 10 per cent. We hold firmly to the belief that higher prices for cotton will be registered in the early spring. CHICAGO —March 2 High. Low. Close. March 7.10 7.08 7.10 Mav 7.24 7.08 7.24 !

CAST IS ANNOUNCED Play to Be Presented Friday at Central Avenue Church. A comedy-drama will be presented by Central players Friday night at the Central Avenue M.

Jack Dyer and Orville Bertsche.

On request, sent with stamped, addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: The Oldest Living Thing on Earth—The big cypress of Santa Maria del Tule, Mexico, fairly may be rated as the largest tree in the world, as well as the oldest living thing dh earth. Its circumference is 154 feet, it is 50 feet in diameter, and it rises to a height of 470 feet. By the annual growth rings, its age has been computed at a minimum of 5,000 years. It still is in full vigor and is celebrated in Mexico as the Montezum cypress. The Zapotecs of the village, in the state of Oaxaca, regard the tree as sacred, guard its branches from mutilation by visitors and affectionately brush the tree daily to keep it clean and spotless. A Cigaret Holder of a Nandi Girl—The Nandi tribe inhabits a part of British East Africa, south of Mount Elgon. Its tribal mark is a hole bored in the upper part of the ears, while the women enlarge the lobe of the ear until it is large enough to accommodate jars and other vessels of preposterous proportions. These containers are used much as a civilized woman uses a handbag or a pocketbook. When the objects are removed, the aperture in the lobe is large enough for a human arms to be thrust through it. A Bushel Covers a Multitude of Weights—Conflicting state laws render difficult an adequate determination of the status of the bushel as a unit of measure in this country. Some commodities in the different states are sold by what is known as “struck measure,” while in others “heaped measure” is compulsory. In the absence of national legislation, there is an amusing divergence in the definition of a bushel in the various states. To quote only one commodity, a bushel of apples is 50 pounds in Arkansas, 48 pounds in Vermont, 47 pounds in Illinois, 45 pounds in Montana, 44 pounds in Maine, etc. Friday: Dogs' Are Time Announcers.

STRONG CABLE REPORTS SEND WHEATHIGHER All Grains Gain Strength in Bullish News From Abroad. BY HAROLD E. RAINVTLLE United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 3. Strong cables and higher securities gave wheat a good upturn as the Board of Trade opened today. Liverpool was decidedly firmer on the expectations of a continental demand developing. The rise was uneven and confined to the fractions at the start, but the undertone was strong. Buying was scattered and there was no pressure. Com was firm with wheat. Oats was steady. All Options Open L'p At the opening wheat was to ** cent higher, corn was % to U cent higher and oats *4 cent higher. Provisions were firm and more active. Opening slightly higher than expected, Liverpool held *4 to % cent up at mid-afternoon. The financial developments abroad, suggesting improvement in credit conditions and foreign exchange that should ultimately improve buying of wheat, gave the market stability Wednesday. Sentiment is much improved generally. Crop reports on winter wheat continue spotty. Corn Market Strong Corn participated in the prevailing strength Wednesday with pressure lacking. Only 18.000 bushels were booked, the smallest in some time. Cash handlers believe that it will take a good advance to bring out more country offerings. The weather was colder and unsettled, over night. The shipping demand in oats showed improvement Wednesday, with 55,000 bushels taken. This imparted confidence to the cash market, but inactivity in futures remain small. Chicago Grain Range • —March 3 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 11:00. close.
