Bullish Operations Centered

BY MONITOR.
NEW YORK, March 9.—Trading In
stocks showed a substantial gain, both
from the standpoint of increased activity
and display of strength. Advances were
by no means uniform and bullish op
erations appeared to be concentrated
largely on the steels, equipment, rubber
and tire shares and fertilizer stocks.
There were also strong spots among
the spcialties featured by gains in In
ternational Motors, Cast Iron Pipe, Na
tional Enamelling and Consolidated
Gas. On the other band, recessions oc
curred In Corn Products, American
Sugar, Manatl Sugar and Cuba Cane pre
ferred, with ratehr pronounced weakness
appearing in the common and preferred
shares of the International Paper Com
pany.
The market, however, shows a disposi
tion to respond to good news rather than
bad, and this was the occasion for the
confident buying that made its appear
ance in American Car and Foundry,
American Locomotive, Lima Locomotive,
American Agricultural Chemical, Kelly-
Springtield and some of the steels.
Although the securiiy markets, after
an irragular fashion, have responded to
the recent strength of foreign exchanges,
there was little disposition to react in
sympathy with the early decline in Ster
ling. It is generally recognized that
foreign exchanges have been strong,
laregly as a result of lessened offerings
c, f bills emnating from purchases of our
pioducts. At any rate, the appreciation
registered in foreign buying power has
been substantial, and a moderate setback
is considered entirely natural.
The Government report on farm re
serves of grain w..s about in line with
expectations. The holdings of wheat,
amounting to 131,000.000 bushels, compare
with 217.000.UC0 bushels last year. Re
serves of corn are about 250,000,000 bush
els less than a year ago.
The weekly review of the Iron Age
reports no gain in operations and the
feature of the industry at present is
the effort now being made by certain
units in the trade to bring about an
advance in prices. It is admitted, how
ever, that few mills have more than a
month's forward business on th/ir books.
The prospect of a coal strike is causing
little or no anxiety.—Copyright, 1922, by
Public Ledger Company.

Moral Reform Wave
Sweeps Mexico City
MEXICO CITY, March 9.—A wave of
moral reform that might be likened to
the blue agitation of the United States
is sweeping over Mexico City.
The latest agitation is so rthe separa
tion of the sexes in the moving picture
theaters. Most of the movies here are
quite dark during the performances ana
the moralists say that there is as much
uncensored romance In the balconies ami
the dusky corners of the orchestra as
there is on the screen. Leaders of the
moral reform movement predict national
decadence and a rapid lowering of the
moral standard if the sexes are not
separated or the lights turned on.
Some of the moving picture houses
here are particularly adapted to the de
velopment of romance.

year.
Studebaker was another strong feature,
moving up 1 point to 101%.
United States Steel was in supply and
lost all its previous gain.
Reading advanced 1 point to 74%.
Government bonds were unchanged
and railway and other bonds strong.
Total sales of stocks for the day were
505,600 shares; bonds, $11,490,000.

—March 9.
The market was irregular again, some
issues were weak, some were strong, the
various moves were confusing.
Corporate reports that are now being
published, as a rule, disclose the unsatis
factory business of the past year.
More of these reports are to come and
on the average will probably Show up in
harmony with those that are before us.
There have beer, a few very satisfac
tory, one, among these may be mentioned
American Woolen and among those to
come Studebaker will probably stand out
with a good deal of prominence.
But the real intluenee underneath the
market is the banking situation of the
country.
The enormous banking resources ana
the fabulous amount of gold the sufficient
to create another period of inflation and
it would not be at all surprising if the
rising prices of commodities that ar*.
now noticeable here and there should be
followed by another big buying move
ment by the public.
It is generally coneeeded that various
kinds of construction is very much iu
need throughout the country, especially
in populous centers, and the moment that
the public believe that declining prices
are at an end. work will start which will
create sufficient business to keep manu
facturers busy and tax railroads to ca
pacity.
And, in this connection it Is well to con
sider the position of the railroad today
compared with two years ago.
They are gaining in financial strength.
Expenses are being adjusted properly
and 1 hcv are all sufficiently undervalued
to leave ample room for improvement
and thus afford an opportunity for the
patient buyers. While we anticipate fur
ther irregularity, we are of the opinion
that the general tendency of the market
is still upward.

Declines of from 10@15c were suffered
by swine prices in trade on the local
livestock exchange today. Receipts ran
close to 5,000 for the day, and both the
shippers and packers were not overly
anxious to buy unless they could do so
at prices that were materially lower than
those of the market of the previous day.
During the first hour of the market
there was little activity, the commission
men asking higher prices and the buy
ers refusing to consider them. Later,
the commission men asked steady prices
and finally gave in to the offers of the
buyers.
Trading was not of an active nature
even in the late afternoon hours and but
a little part of the receipts had been
sold, and it was thought that there would
be a considerable holdover for the mar
ket of the following day.
Some even predicted still lower prices
before the close.
Gattie values ruled steady generally,
but there were spots that were strong
to 15 cents higher. These higher spo.s
appeared in sales of the better grades <>f
tows and steers. Heifers were generally
steady, as were eanners and cutters.
Bulls were steady to strong.
Receipts for the day ran close to 700,
with but few stale cattle held in the
pens from the market of the previous
day.
Packers displayed fair demand and
practically all of the receipts had been
sold at a late hour in the forenootf.
Veda were strong to 50 cents higher,
with receipts again light and the demand
by skippers with Eastern house connec
tions brisk. The quality was fair to
good. Receipts for the day ran close to
300.
There were only about 50 sheep anl
lnral-s * n the market. Sheep were steady,
while sl4 was paid lor a few good
lambs. At this price lambs were around
$2 higher than on tlie Tuesday rnorket,
but the quality was better.

GRAIN VALUES
BREAK SHARPLY
Selling by Traders and Favor
able Weather Factors.
CHICAGO, March 9.—Following a
strong opening grain prices dropped
sharply on the Chicago Board of Trade
just before the close today.
TlkYdrop was due to heavy selling by
traders, who were long on the market
and did not care to carry their holdings
overnight.
Favorable weather also influenced the
drop. I
Provisions were lower.
May wheat opened up %c at $1.43, clos
ing off 6%e. July wheat opened up lc
at $1.21% and closed off 3%c.
May corn opened up %e at 65c and
closed off 4c. July corn opened at 68c,
up l%c and closed off 3%c.
May opened up %c at 41%c, closing
off 2%c. July oats opened up %c at

Wheat —Foreign markets were some
what impressed with yesterday’s esti
mate of our reserves, but seemingly, the
trade here, at home, took the stand that
prevailing values discounted the report
as received. Realizing sales in volume
have been in the market, prices suffering
severely because of an absence of de
mand from important sources. Early in
the day there was good evidence of a
broadening of the flour trade, but inas
much as there has been reluctance, here
tofore, in providing for future needs, ft
may develop that the action of prices to
day will again disturb confidence at flour
distributors and millers. Heavy snows
are once more reported in the Southwest
and it is somi-otfieially stated that re
cent moisture prevents any damage by
high wind. This, of course, is a teni
-1 orary condition and the situation in
that territory will be very closely
watched because of the poor start which
the plant received. Export interests
were inactive except some business in
rye to Norway and Russian relief. It is
not known when the Government will
estimate the amount in country elevators
and mills, but it looks, now, as though
this report would have to show very
small stocks if a general demand is to
be revived.
Corn and Oats—Yesterday's report
served only to produce a demand from
previous sellers of corn, this demand be
ing soon supplied by genera! offerings,
with cash handlers more or less proml
unt. The action of wheat induced re
linquishment of holdings in a board way.
Very much the same condition prevailed
in oats. The selling uncovered the fact
ttiat demand was poor, prices were, there
j lore, more than ordinarily sensitive, to
! th- general liquidation, it seems now
j that the large accumulation in the visi
! tile supply must be materially reduce !
1 before values will strengthen.
I Provisions—Ther- was extensive liqui
dation in lard, induced by further weak
ness in Liverpool and the action of
grains. There was at no time any im
portant support. The hog situation
seems to have lost its influence in the
face of the weakness in foreign mar
kets.
