Finance, Oil and Real Estate

NEW YORK. April 2O.-Today's
stock market closed strong with the
upward swing again in full sway.
There was a naked feeling of uneasr-
ness at the opening; copper stocks
showed strength, rails were irregular.
and steel developed an undercurrent
Of nervousness. Dealings IN Rock Is
land soon rfveted attention, the price
began dropping and rumors OF an i'm
fast. When the announcement was
made at noon, the stock fell to FIX. a
drop of 12A points from Mondays
close.
The effect on the market was as I'M
expected as the news. Speculation
Immediately shifted back to the indus
trials, and under the lead of copper,
steels and motor issues. prices rose
with surprising ease. Heavy buying
in New Haven, emanating from Bos-
ton, brought a si1-point rally. Ontario
points. The market ended with a
snap at the best prices of the day.
About 20 per cent of the days bust
ness occurred in the Rock Island
crowd. The heavy trading which pre-
ceded the news of the receivership
looked like a deliberate attempt to
smash the market. If fluctuations had
been in the control OF professional
traders, no doubt this would have had
some degree of success, but the buy
ing power which has carried prices to
the present level lies outside the fnan-
cial districts and stocks were absorb
ed as rapidly as they were thrown
over. The early weakness in Lehigh
Valley and American Can lent color to
the rumor that the whole movement
was Rfed drive.
