Reported by H. B. Lake & Co.
New York, March 13—The stock mar
ket today gave an exhibition similar to
what was witnessed during the greater
portion of last week's turnover. Pools
encouraged by the recent favorable
money market conditions continued to
move their favorite issues forward but
as a general proposition price changes
in the so-called standard stocks were
insignificant. Tire and rubber stocks
displayed considerable firmness, the
buying in this quarter no doubt being
largely due to the expectation of a bet
ter business this year as a reflection of
improvement in motor industry, gome
specialties were also active on the up
side, such as Famous Players, for a
time and Jewell Tea. We feel that the
general list will have to undergo a re
vision downward before the major ad
vance is resumed.—Logan & Bryan.

financial.
New Tork, March 13.—Individual or
selected issues dominated the uneven
movement of prices on the stock ex
change Monday. Few of the leading or
representative shares showed any de
finite trend until the final hour when
selling pressure affected reactions of
one to 3 points.
Utilities, sugars, rubbers, indepen
dent steels and Junior rails registered
gross gains of one to six points. Divi
dend paying rails, motors equipments
and the oils figured only nominally In
the extensive turnover.
Sates amounted to 1,000,000 shares.
Adverse foreign happenings notably
the crisis in India and South Africa,
apparently exerted little influence apart
from their marked effect on interna
tional currencies. Extension of domes
tic labor troubles, including the New
England textile situation also was
ignored.
Western tonnage conditions during
the past week were more encouraging
and general if somewhat Irregular busi
ness gains were reported from that sec
tion, as well as further pronounced im
provement In the steel and automobile
trades.
Money rates were easy. In the open
market all call loans were negotiated
at 4 per cent but a 3% per cent rate
again ruled in private transactions on
prime collateral.
The reversal in foreign exchanges,
which was hastened by heavy offerings
of cotton bills, was the most drastic
of any recorded since British and
allied quotations began their buoyant
advance several months ago.
Demand bills on London declined to
429%, a loss of 5% cents from last
week's final price and almost 15 cents
under the maximum quotation of the
previous month. French, Belgian and
Italian remittances lost 12 to 20 points.
Dutch and Scandinavian bills fell 18
to 20 points and far eastern exchanges
sustained sharp reversals.

SHERIFF FINDS STILL
AND MASH ON FARM
Special to The Tribune.
Williston, March 18.—Sheriff Mack
enroth found a still and a supply of
mash this week on the Disher farm,
gome distance from Williston. Disher
was notified to appear later for a pre
liminary hearing and hiB case will prob
ablp' be acted upon when district court«
reconvenes March 20,
grain and provisions.
Chicago, March 13.—Wheat made a
sharp descent in price Monday, affected
to a considerable degree by word of
new rains over Kansas and Oklahoma.
The market closed heavy, 2% cents to
5 cents net lower, with May at $1.32%
to $1.32% and July $1.15@1.16%. Corn
finished 2 cents to 2% cents down;
oate off % cents to 1% cents and pro
visions varying from unchanged to a
setback of 45 cents.
Almost constantly throughout the
day, the value of wheat was slipping
downward with a good deal of pres
sure to sell coming at times from
houses which have eastern connections.
Unpromising views expressed regarding
tbe threatened strike of coal miners
added distinctly to bearish sentiment
growing out of the changed crop out
look In the southwest resulting from
fresh supplies of moisture. Another fac
tor operating against the buying side of
the wheat market was a pronounced
drop in European exchange rates.
Posting of figures showing a decrease
In the United States visible supply of
wheat led to the best rally which
values showed. Liquidation, however,
became of greater volume at this
juncture, and closing prices were the
lowest of the session, despite reports
received telling of green bugs in Okla
homa.
Corn and oats went down in price
with wheat. Besides, it was definitely
shown that stocks of corn available are
the largest ever recorded.
Lower quotations on hogs were
chiefly responsible for declines in the
provision market.
The prices of futures ranged as fol
lows :

London Press, However, Says
Present Claim Filed Is
Not Unreasonable.
London. March 13.—(By the Associ
ated Press.)—Although America's claim
to priority of payment for the upkeep
of the United States army in the Ithine
land has been featured in the news col
umns. the first extended comment ap
peared only Monday.
The I^ail.v Chronicle, under the cap
tion, "America's bombshell,says:
"Intrinsically the claim is not un
reasonable, and if the practical effect
is to make some of our continental
friends less zealous to prolong the oc
cupation of German soil this would be
quite as much to the taste of British
public opinion as to American."
The newspaper admits it may be
urged that, as the United States is not
participating in the treaty of Versailles,
it has no claim to money collected
under that treaty and that tho more
correct course would have been lo claim
it direct from their own treaty, but
thinks the fact that America undertook
the Rhine occupation jointly with the
allies "does give her some moral claim
for joint reimbursement."
Out of Allies' Share
The Westminster Gazette, using the
same headline, says that there is not
much doubt that every penny the l:nit
ed States takes will have to,come out
of the allies' share of the reparations.
"America has already intimated that
she thinks the whole reparations ques
tion a proper subject for discussion
at Genoa," adds the Gazette, "and we
may properly assume that this sudden
and unexpected insistence on her rights
is a part of the same policy, and that
she wishes the curtain finally run down
on ihe reparations farce. Tt is pos
sible she wants to take her troops
away and considers this a subtle way
of persuading her European associates
to speed the parting ally.
"This action by the United States
compels the allies to face the fact that

substantially revised."
Welcomed In Berlin
The Morning Post's Berlin corre
spondent reports that news of the
American demand was received there
with undisguised satisfaction at the
embarrassment it was likely to cause
the allies.
The correspondent ascribed to a Ber

ica's antagonism to France being no
longer concealed, the German demands
are conquering the enemy world. In
conclusion he quotes:
"Away with control commissions!
Away* with the reparations betrayal!
Away with the locust plague of armies
of occupation! Out of your trench,

Fear Spirit of Soviets Will
Hamper Action for Res
toration of Russia.
Paris, March 13.— (By The Associ
ated Press).—The allies are worried
by the tone of the communication from
Moscow with regard to the Genoa
economic conference and views have
been exchanged among the allied gov
ernments in the last few days as to
the conditions under which the con
ference is likely to open if the Russian
soviet representatives go there in the
spirit indicated by the recent declara
tions of the soviet leaders.
These declarations are interpreted in
French circles as meaning the Russian
representatives will go prepared to talk
about anything they desire to or not
take any part nt all.
One of the chief purposes of the con
ference being the restoration of
Russia, it is being asked what effect
the soviet attitude will have on the
success of the deliberations of the
ijjlied experts, who are going ahead
with their preparations to meet in
London for discussions preliminary to
the conference as soon as their ma
terial is ready.
The suggestion that the whole enter
prise contemplated in the call for the
Genoa gathering be referred Jo the
League of Nations is bfeing more and
more frequently met with here.
Whether Premier Poincare will be
a member of the French delegation to
go to Genoa seems now very doubtful.
The absence of America has so re
duced the possibilities of useful action
by the conference, according to the
French viewpoint, that there now is
almost no prospect, of his going.
