MARKET HEAVY
ON GOOD NEWS
Street Slow to Respond to
Brilliant Rail and Auto
Reports.
GENERAL MOTORS BOOM
Gross Receipts Nearly Double LAS
Year's-Munitons Stocks Steady.
Foreign Issues Sought.

New York. March 2s-Fear had
more influence on the stock market
today than earnings. Railroad re-
ports were brilliant and the automo-
bile companies let it be known that
they are piIing up surplus funds at a
rapid rate, but in spite of that the
market was heavy. The railroads were
hardly alive.
Ugly reports came from Washington
Of an impending break. Best opinion
in banking circles is that after the
first shock, an open breach with Ger
many will be a bull argument because
II would end all OF the uncertainty
and make actual war highly improb-
able.
As all of the automobile companies
are sharing in the boom of that in
dustry. the earnings just reported by
General Motors give an idea of what
profits are being made.
General Motors from August to
March Is reports gross receipts of
SS7,S00.0OO. against sac 100000 during
the same period of the previous year.
There is no longer any doubt That the
company will show net earnings OF
more than $50 per cent for the year
on its S15.0O0.OOO of common stock In
siders expect earnings of fully 200
per cent
Another illustra ton of the way bust
ness IS booming is shown by the an
uouncement that March Il. WHY'S
