to cover a movement which was given
distinct impetus by the remarkable
showing of United States Steel Cor
poration earnings Tor the. frst quarter
of the year. and the action of the d.
rectors in declaring an extra dividend
OF per cent on the common stock In
order to make np for the deficiency Of
I914-15. Whereas Wall Street over
estimated earnings in the last quarter
of 1916, IL underestimated them in this
quarter, and the increased extra dis
bursement took securities circles en-
tirely by surprise. These two. favor.
able developments were the signal for
rush of the shorts to buy to meet
their stock requirements on Wednes-
day and Thursday and advances OF
five points and more were hume Eous.
Technical PositIon Impaired
1t was Significant OF this movement
that the dozen or more stocks in
which there was the heaviest short nv
terest furnished a large percentage Of
the volume OF trading. At the close
OF Thursday there were very heavy
returns OF borrowed stocks, which in
dicated the extent of the buying. This
left the technical position of the mar
ket somewhat impaired. with the re-
suit that yesterdays session was mar
rowly unsettled and relatively slug
gish. While the shorts were cover
ing, bonds turned easier. particularly
the more active foreign issues, a cir
cumstance which suggested that hold
ers were selling to be in funds for the
rise In stocks that many believed to
be impending.
While Wall Street of late has not
paid particular attention to foreign
Developments, II Is probable that they
have played a considerable role in the
psychology OF the market. On the
one hand there are persistent peace
rumors. on the other the spectacular
operations on the western front. The
big question in the Street is whether
there Is to be an extensive bull move
ment The answer would seem at this
stage TO depend on whether the magnif-
cent efforts Of the British and French
can force the Germans back to the Rhine
frontier. Such a happy outcome of
the present offensive could not fail 20
cause the greatest enthusiasm in ali
circles here, which conceivabIy might
nnd reflection in a spontaneous move
ment on the part of outsiders to enter
the market.
