Stock Market
Strong; Trading
. Lightest i'm Weeks
Many Industrial Shares Score
Substantial Gains; Rails
,Weaken; Professional
Traders Still i'm Control

Although the stock market yesterday
was exceedingly dull, the turnover be-
the smallest in weeks, prices were
FIRM and a good many issues scored
substantial advances. This was es-
pecially true of the industrial special
ties, which were most severely affected
in the recent slump. Crucible Steel was
up more than 10 points, short covering
and buying for the turn having been in
duced by the favorable statement of
the chairman of the board at the an
nual meeting Friday. Pierce-Arrow was
the Center Of attention, however. This
stock, which sold nearly 40 points be-
dow it's recent high early in the week,
advanced Sla points and closed at the
top price of the day. 1t is said that
considerable short interest still ex-
lists.
Copper stocks again displayed weak
mess, these ssucs being. particularly
sentative to conditions in the foreign
exchange market. The United States
produces a large surplus Of copper, and
until credits with which to finance
foreign purchases are provided, there
is not llkely 10 De very SupStantlal I'M
provement in the position OF producing
companies.
Railroad stocks received little at
tention. This section Of the list was,
ASA Whole, much weaker than the in
dustrials. The attempt. to start a bull
movement in the rails, which a week
ago gave some promise of being sue
cessful, apparently has failed.
Professional traders dominated the
market ngain. 1t is the consensus of
Wall Street opinion that the market
will remain in their hands for the
balance of the year. The only sign of
outside interest is that taken by the
bargain hunters, and most of these ap-
pear to have satisfied their require
ments. At any rate, such buying can
not be expected in sufficient volume to
exert an important influence on prices.
1t is evident that the number of the
volatile industrials is none too large,
especially in view of the extent of the
short interest, which brokers assert is
considerable. 1t would not be sur
prisng therefore, to see n continual
ton of very broad fluctuations in such
/ issues.

Money and Credit

The liquidation in the stock market
during the last ten days was reflected
we terday in the weekly bank state
ments. The loans, discounts and in
vestments of the Clearing House banks
show an increase of S64 ,625 900 from
last week. An increase of s3,123 900
was revealed in cash in vaults of the
Federal Reserve banks and of $685. 600
in carh in vaults of state banks and
trust companies.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York reported decrease in bills dis
counted. The total on hand, according
to yesterdays statement. was $87T,

week ago, The difference would have
been far greater if. it had not been
patty offset by an increase in bills
bought in the open market.

A Reflex of the Smash

The recent decline of stocks in Wall
Street gave an upward impetus to the
prices Of finished silk goods among
jobbers. A great many women's gar
ment manufacturers are spectators in
Wall Street. They were hard hit by
the rapid decline and needed ready
cash urgently. Silk goods on their
stock shelves were ready assets and
not needed because of the comparative
quiet in the garment market. The APP
parel manufacturers, therefore, turned
over their silks to jobbers at current
market prices. These goods will be
needed in another two or three months
for the making of spring and summer
