SPECIALTIES GAIN
AFTER DULL START
Active and Broad Trading Soon Makes Market Recover
From Effects of Moderate Declines Which
Prevailed at Opening
New York, March 14. (Wall
Street). Moderate declines prevail
ed at the opening of to-day's market
hut prices hardened almost imme
diately with gains of one to three
points in various specialties, including
Industrial Alcohol, International Pa
per, American Sugar and National Bis
cuit. United States Steel yielded a
substantial fraction at the outset but
soon recovered with other issues of
the same class. Kails showed little
of their recent improvement, Reading,
however, rallying from its initial set
back of half a point. Trading was ac
tive and broad. '
Activity gave way to extreme dull
ness before the end of the lirst hour.
Announcement of the sinking of an
American ship in the war zone in
duced some proiit taking and short
selling with resultant irregularity of
prices. Cuban American Sugar rose
almost ten points on the improved out
look in Cuba and shippings strength
ened.
Transfer of a large block of Erie
convertible B's at a slight advance was
the only feature of the listless bond
market.

Advice to Lovenlorn
SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO TIIEM
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am going out with a young lady
and find that I love her and know
my love is reciprocated. A short
time ago she received two presents—
one. a string of pearls, the other, a
gold bracelet fri>m two young men
she formerly knew and of whom she
told me. Under the circumstances do
you think it proper for her to retain
these presents? Although I have said
nothing to her, I do not approve of
her retaining these, and therefore
await your kindly advice. F. A.
Under no circumstances is it proper
for a girl to accept gifts such as you
mention. She must return them at
once both for the sake of her own dig
nity and because of her esteem for
you, the man she loves.
