Prices Hold Well
In Quiet Market;
Exchanges Improve
Repurchases by Those Who
Had Sold to Establish
Losses a Factor; Oil
S h res the Leaders

Although tho stock market was gen
orally quiet yesterday, Arm under
tone prevailed throughout the session.
Neither the bulls nor the bears were
able to make much headway, except in
the oil shares. which had been heavily
ovcrsold and advanced sharply under
short covering. Al the close the gen
eral level of prices did not differ ma
terially from that prevailing at the
end Of dealings on Tuesday, despite the
sensational improvement in foreign cx-
changes and che announcement that
the Presidents message on the rail-
roads would probably be issued dur
ing the afternoon. The former was re-
garded as an especially constructive
development, while the prevailing opin-
ion in Wall Street was that the Presl-
dent would deal fairly with the rail-
road situation.
Purchases by those who had previ-
ously sold stocks In order to establish
losses as an Offset to profit, thereby
reducing the levy on their income, were
reported by some brokers. 1t was the
and was thought to presage a broader
demand of the same character, al
though the bulk of this business Is
not expected until after the turn of
the year.
A good many speculators apparently
are beginning to believe that the un-
favorable elements In the economic
situation have been pretty we'll dis
counted, and as a result, speculative
purchases for long account added sub
stantially TO the demand for stocks.
Short covering was also Of sufficient
volume to exert q favorable influence
on prices. Sales Of those working for
the decline, plus A]ight liquidation,
were outweighed by constructive opera
tions
The continued advance in the value
OF foreign funds in terms Of dollars
was undoubtedly the most important
feature of the days Developments in
the financial field. Sterling has now
recovered nearly % cents from its re-
cent low level, while francs are up
about 115 points and Italian exchange
so points.
Several things have contributed to
the improvement in the exchange mar
ket. The fact that London Is to make
substantial loan to France has helped
the franc and, incidentally, the pound,
since it is argued that # London is
able to lend funds abroad, the British
position cannot be so bad as it has
been pictured. Passage Of the Edge
bill is another event making for higher
exchange rates. But heavy buying by
those who had previously sold short
for the decline, coming at a time when
the supply Of bills was unusually light,
has done more than anything else to
support the market.
The bond market was fairly active,
but price changes as a rule were small.
