NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Construc- tive forces were at work at the opening of today's stock market, initial prices displaying a firm tone. Buying was influenced to some ex- tent by Charles M. Schwab's opt!- mistio statement on business condi- tions and tho favorable nature of a number of the January railroad earnings reports. Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western each advanced about a point. Substantial buying support. con- tinued to come into the market, the advance assuming broader propor- tions as trading professed. New high recor were established by New Orleas Texas and Mexico at 98% and Norfolk and Western at 111%, up 1% and 1% respectively.

He refused to add to his previous statements relative to the of! inquiry at Wash- ington, What he might say later, Mr. Daugherty indicated, probably would be in connection with the govern- ment action in the Veterans bureau case, but he indicated that what the senate ofl committee might do, or announce, would have some bear- ing on what he might have to say himself. Mr. Daugherty sald he hoped to complete the government business promptly so that he might go direct to Miami, Fla., to join his wife, who is there for her health. That he expects to continue to hold his place in the cabinet was Indicated when he stated that he was here on government «business and expected to remain until that business was completed. ‘The attorney general sald he had no public statement to make and did not know that he would have any before noon, or possibly, late in the day, The attorney general planned first to confer with department of justice prosecutors handling the ve- terans bureau proceedings and then to go to the federal building where witnesses are being examined, Brigadier General Charles ©.
