Rise in Stock
Prices Resumed:
Money Tighter
Kate for Demand Loans
Goes to Ii Per Cent After
Close of the Market

Stocks thrown upon the market on
Saturday were bought back yesterday.
Speculative security prices improved
all along the line as result and the
rebound was almost as violent as the
decline at the end of the wekc.
The evidence was unmistakabe thas
Wall Street and the stock maret fol
klowing felt a great deal more hopeful
regarding the possibility that the pro-
posed walk-out of the bituminous min
ers scheduled for Saturday will Ec
postponed as a result of the firm stand
taken by the government. Optimism
reflected all through the days dealings
at the exchange. While no attempt
was made to minimize the seriousness
OF the situation hope was expressed
that the impending crisis will be
avterted and there viii be no disastrous
tie-up of industry, as would certainly
result from strike at the mines. A..
that the stock market displayed sur
prising strength and vigor when ono
considers what might happen wer"
labor to persist in its demands in this
particular case.
Undoubtedly the market wa in
strong position to respond to the more
favorable news developments of the
week end The heavy selling on Satur-
day which caused such large recessions
throughout the general list certainly
cleared the market of many weakly
margined accounts and at the same
time the short interest expanded so
chat traders who tried to buy back
stocks yesterday at the opening found
plenty of company. Advances of 2 tt,
6 points in the industrial shares wero
common at the opening Steel common,
for example, jumped more than 2 points
above the closing on Saturday.
Subsequently fresh selling developed.
but as soon as this slaokencd the mar
kct reumed it recovery and clocd
strong with prices generally near the
top for the day. Motor shares were con-
spicuous in the days trading. with
General Motors selling avove 36O Tor
new high record AS exception to
the general trend was American Smelt
ing and Refining common. which dis
played pronounced weakness.
The stock market encountered some
what tighter money yesterday when
rates rose to 9 per cent in the after
noon after opening and renewing at )
per cent. After the close loans were
made at IA per cent. Bankers explained
the tighter money by government with
drawals, transfers to the interior and
a large demand for funds for specula-
tive purposes. They look for a gradual
lowering of rates the rest Of the week
At the exchange 2S7 different stocks
were bought and sold compared with
301 on Friday. Transactions totalled
! ,342 700 shares.

Stock Acts Well

Steel common acted we'll yesterday.
Apparently the short interest had been
largely increased on Saturdays break
There was active covering of the shorts
in Steel at the opening, when it started
off with 5000 shares at 1919 and 500
at 1077s, compared with close of
105Ss on Saturday. Offerings increased
during the forenoon and forced frac-
tional recessions, but Steel came back
strong in the final hour, when it ad-
vanced to 10812. closing at 10S, up 2&s
points. This represented recovery of
most Of the ground lost at the end Of
last week. Steel's display of strength
was tonic for the rest of the market.
1t certainly did not reflect the uneasi-
ness that was apparent at the close of
last week over the prospects of strike
of coal miners. The news over the week
end was much more cheerful, holding
out hope that the leaders of the coal
miners may be dissuaded from their
plan to force the issue at this time.
No attempt is being made in the Street.
however, to minimize the seriousness
of the situation. In fact, the rising
strength of the general run of stocks
came as a pleasant surprise to people
who bought at the high prices of last
week
