The early demand was most effective in the ‘oils, coppers and a select assort ment of rails. Butte & Superior led the early advance in metal stoc! with a gain of point and New Haven led the rails with a similar gain. There were a few weak spots, notably Dupont and Royal Dutch, ¢ 1 and 1% respectively. Fresh buying power also made its appearance in the motor, motor ac cessory, independent astee's and’ to bacco shares. Stromberg advanced points and Bosch-Magneto to a new high level. Resumption of heavy buy!ng of American Woolen sent that stock up 1% points to a new peak price. Gains of one to two points also were recorded by Studebaker, New Orleans, Texas and Mexico, Gulf States Steel, United Retail Stores and United Fruit. South Porto Rican Sugar broke 4 points. Foreign exchanges were strong. De. mand sterling established a new top at $4.70% and French francs ad vanced 4 points to 6.07 cents. Dutch guilders anproached to within a fow points of par, belng quoted at 39.60 one one, en cents. German marks continued re. actionary, dropping 6%4 points to 0041 cents Continuation of heavy profit taking in the Industrial group resulted in a switch of professio speculative in terest to the railroad shares which were bought steadily in expectation that the January statements had to be published would show un ly favorable earnings. Both low and dividend paying issues my higher groun, the gains c ranging from ono to Copper and moter accessory generally maintained their Jevels in the industrial division, Most of the others were inclined to yield under pressure. United Fruit, which jumped 5% points. was one of th strong features. Phillips Petr Iron Products, Amercan Brake § Delaware and Hudson Tobacco “A" and “B" all off a pe or more, were conspicuously hea Call money opened at 4% per cent. The better known industrial shares nts stocks higher Participated more generally in tne marked strength exhibited by many of the less active issues, Baldwin, American Locomotive, Corn Produ Studebaker and American Can rising vigorously, the nig 99%5 romberg, Bosch Magneto and United Fruit were pushed steadily, their 6% to 7% points. The closing ‘was strong; several individual issues were bid up, up sharply in the late dealings, shorts covering operations accelerating the rise.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Wheat aver. ‘ged a little lower In pride today dur- ng the’early dealings, an unexpected downturn in Liverpool quotation: having some bearish effect here Better weather conditions for the (omestic winter crop tended also to the market. On the other hand. continued upward movement of ng exchange rates encourage some buying but was ascribed partly to lack of export business and to that Pxtent was said to be no stimulus for higher prices on grain. The opening, which varied from unchanged figures %c lower, with May $1.20 to $1.20%, and July $1.15%, was fol lowed by downturns all around, al. though interrupted by a transient rally. Further declines resulted from re newed eastern selling and from a bearish tatement issued by one of the largest individual traders here that world’s probable carry over July 1 would equal the pre-war average. However, there was but little for sale in the last half of the day, and the m ‘ket rallied.
