Motor Shares

Big Gains Scored by Spe-
cialties, While Standard
Issues Move Little; Pierce
Arrow Reaches New High

Yesterdays stock market was almost
entirely an affair Of the specialties in
which speculative cliques aggressively
bid up their favorite industrial. With
no money market on Saturday the
speculative element had nothing to
tear from that quarter. Trading was
largely professional with public par
ticipation of comparatively small pro-
portions although the trading list was
broad for two-hour session and the
turnover heavy, exceeding 100000
shares.
Influences which controlled the
movement of pr.ces on Friday were
again dominant The easing of money
toward the close of the day before
created more cheerful sentiment and
gave rise to the belief in many quar-
ters that next week will witness a fur
ther relaxation in rates. Such a de-
velopment would undoubtedly restore
confidence in the market and bring
about broader public participation.
The market opened firm with the
majority of standard industrials as
we'll as specialties starting at gains of
fraction to point. After some hesi-
tat;on the motor and tire stocks came
INTO prominence and until the close
held the attention of the speculative
element. Pierce Arrow was conspicu-

In the equipment list New York Air
Brake and Pressed Steel Car were
prominent, the latter advancing sharp
ly on reports of an impending Increase
in the dividend The standard shares
like Steel common did little more than
mark time. indicating that the trading
element is still disposed to await de-
velopments before going ahead with
any general advance. Outside news
developed played an unimportant role
in the days market.

lhe Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Foreign exchanges generally moved
in favor Of the United States last
week, although the tendency was not
pronounced. Sterling and franc ex-
change rates declined further but the
market was somewhat quieter. An in
teresting development was the break
in Austrian kronen below q cent, es-
tablishing new low record
Bankers pointed out last week that
the increase in imports from Europe
to the United States during the last
two months is about the only bene-
fetal trade result from the present
exchange situation. American import
ers, it is stated, are profiting from the
premium on the dollar prevailing in
the exchanges with almost all coun-
tries, which enables them to pay for
foreign goods in foreign currency, at
a saving proportionate to the dollar
premium. But the exchange situation
from the viewpoint of the American
exporter is discouraging owing to the
fact that foreign buyers in our market
have to pay such high premiums for
goods because of the high cost of dol
lar exchange.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value; that is, if you
were buying dollars with pounds, marks
or francs, its value at the close of last
week, as compared with year AGO.
