Stories Briefly Told
From MONDAYS DaiIv

From Mondays Da'iv
New York, May l0.-During the past
few weeks the stock market has UNI
dergone considerable advance. Some
stocks are too high in view of their
small returns to investors. while Others
are relatively low, having been neg
lected by both investment and specula-
tive buyers. As a result we are likely
to see more or less of the evening up
process in which medium grade invest
ments, especially the better class of
preferred industrials, may receive in
creased attention.
The industrial and commercial out
look continues satisfactory. In the steel
trade activity has been especially no
ticeable, April proving a banner month
for the receipt of orders. Building OPP
erations are particularly active in all
of the large cities, and this factor in
connection with demands from the rail
roads for structural material constitutes
the chief reason for Improvement in
iron and steel Our railroads, it must
be remembered, have been pursuing a
policy. of rigid economy ever since the
panic and now that earnings are inn
proving and the money market is easy,
conditions favor not only the making
of repairs which have been delayed, but
also the carrying out of various i'm
provements and extensions which had
previously been deferred. In all prob
ability the railroads will be large buy
ers of materials for some time to
come, which will certainly be an i'm
portant element in business recovery.
Bank clearings are already ample proof
of the latter; returns for the first week
in May showing an increase of over
II per cent and these gains being well
distributed overs all sections of the
country. Railroad earnings also show

our treasury deficit is decreasing and
has not reached the proportions once
expected owing to the increase of rev
eEue arising from larger imports.
Should the latter, however decline
when the tariff has been fully antici
pated. it will be interesting to watch
the course of national revenue In
Europe similar conditions of ease pre-
vail, and there the demands upon capt.
tai are being emphasized by the large
German and Spanish loans which will
soon be forthcoming
Taking the favorable and unfavorable
conditions into consideration, the out
look is for an active market Careful
discrimination, however, should be made
in all purchases, as while a good many
stocks may reach still higher levels,
there are others which for the time be-
likely to be weakened by inside selling.
process which has been going on nm
der cover more freely than generally
supposed. Speculation is likely to take
up the hitherto neglected industrials
and may be somewhat interfered with
by the possibilities of firmer money
Nevertheless the financial situation is
one that warrants continued hopeful
ness.
