New York, March 1.-THE prevan

figures were highly influential in shan.

Scattering. reports of resumption of
work by factories which had susnend.
ed or largely reduced operations dur.
ing the depth of the depression al.
though mixed with evidence of fnr.
Their .curtailment in other directions
were a cheering factor. Especially in
the iron and steel trade the reports of
reopenings were notable. The ad.
vance in the price of copper, which
had been falling since the decision to
reopen the Butte copper producing
mines gave some reinsurance to the
confidence in improvement in that
trade, which was expressed in the re-
opening in Montana. The declining
money rates here and abroad were an
element in the situation, and the dis.
crepancy in money rates here and in
Europe induced some investment of
foreign funds in New York. This was
mostly confined to high-grade mort
gage securities and to some takings of
mercantile paper.
The easing of the money market and
the stirring of activity in stocks
brought into consideration the subject
of financial needs of the great corpor
ations which remain unsupplied and
which insure attempts to float new
issues of securities in the near future.
The market for existing bonds was
studied to discern a reflection of this
improvement in the general bond mar.
ket, but with results somewhat disap
pointing. The bond market lacked
breadth and the prices at which sea-
soned bonds are still selling do not
make a propitious condition for the
offering of new securities. The ad-
vance in stocks was made feasible by
the evident completion of liquidation
and a consequent scarcity of stocks
offering which removed obstacles to
the operations for an advance. An
obstinate short interest also was left
at a disadvantage by the cessation Of
liquidation, and the necessities of this
element offered a basis for raising /
prices with assurance that some de-
mand would be met on which to resell
at profit
