Crucible and General Motors.

Less than n month ago a group of
shorts who attempted to play fast and
locsc with Crucible Steel found them
selves Obliged to make a private settle
mcnt. Such a situation again confronts
another group, It is understood. some OF
which were in the clique singed before.
The same thing is said of the clique
short of General Motors. The market
In these two stocks approached yester-
day the sensational. Both made new
high prices. Crucible touched 204 and
closed the day with a gain of 15L points.
General Motors touched 254, a gain of
16A points, and closed at the days high
point. There is little mystery about
either movement 1t is merely a battle
royal between the longs and the shorts
in two high priced stocks in which the
market is a very thin one. A heavy
short interest is apparent in both issues,
anc the interests which control the stock
APPEAR to have the situation by the tail
with down hill drag. AS in the pre-
ViCus case in Crucible, Philadelphia and
Boston interests were heavy buyers. The
bulk of orders from out of town for
General Motors came from Wilmington.
One interest alone is heavily short of
General Motors, several thousand shares
al least, and faces a very heavy loss.

The Technical situation.

financial authority takes this OPP
timistic view OF the markets technical
condition: THE technical condition Of
the speculative market is one of the ex-
cellent features of the whole situation
and alone is likely to prevent any serious
disturbance. The short interest cannot
b. measured, but there is nothing to de-
note any great existing amount. Stocks
are, however, in much stronger hands
Than they have been for a long time.
The general public has plenty of funds
TO use, and would rush in to pick up
any opportunity. Railroad shares and
copper stocks are passed by from the
speculative viewpoint, but they can
hardly be expected to attract much at
tertlon at the present time. On account
of the scarcity of material throughout
the world the industrial concerns can
hardly help doing a record breaking bust
ress and in consequence, in spite OF
labor demands, profits must be large"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-09-27
Copper situation.

Taken as a whole the copper shares
were stronger yesterday, with moderate
advances, but hardly from any influence
In the industry itself. Rather the
strength was attributed TO sympathetic
gains in those copper stocks which are
also silver producers and which are
benefiting at this time by the high price
Of bar silver. The move In the copper
stocks, predicted for many weeks, has
not mateTialized and probably viii not
until the market for the actual metal
improves OF the situation Walkers Cop
per Letter says THE outlook, as a
whole, is more geassuring than II has
been for some time past. Evidence Is
beginning to appear which seems "a
prove that the next big buying movement
" near at hand. Indeed there is every
basis for confidence that copper will be
very strong at higher prices before the
present year ends. 1t is altogether i'm
rr obable that copper will sell any loves
in the immediate future and there are
scores of reasons for assurance that
within a few months 1t will command
a much higher price"

Call Money Higher.

At twenty minutes before o'clock
Yesterday afternoon call money was
loaning at 8 per cent. At 3 O'Clock II
loaned again at 6 per cent In the brief
Interval the rate touched 9 per cent, one
bank alone putting out 100000 at this
fancy figure. When the furry was noised
about the Chase National Bank sent sew
eral millions to the floor of the Ex-
change to be loaned at per cent. and
this had the effect of bringing down the
rate in a hurry. The explanation for
the brief stiffness In the market Is the
fe ctthat banks here and in the Interior
have returned many certificates OF in
debtedness that they have held. An
other factor, of course. is the apprecia-
ton In the price OF securities with a
proportionate increase in the borrowing
demand at time when funds are at low
ebb. Most Wall Street bankers believe,
however, that money will remain at COM
paratively low levels for the next month
or so with occasional hurries under spe-
cial pressure, as occurred yesterday.

Their Earning Possibilities.

Although Crucible and General Motors
are stable. wealthy corporations with
ample backing and unlimited POSSIBLE
tiles. there is no news to be discovered
T the financial district which warrants
a sky rocketing move OF Is or l6 points
In one day in either stock. Crucible, II
is reported, is earning approximately
$50 on the common after taxes. There
is also always the possibility of a big
stock dividend hanging over Crucible
which probably accounts for some of its
wildness. In the case of General Motors
the earnings in the first half OF the year
were close to $50 a share, which would
mean In the neighborhood of $50 share
for the full year available for the juniox
issue. According to a report which has
been rather widely circulated in Wall
Street recently the General Motors Cor
poration has purchased several thousand
shares of its own stock in the open mar
ket for distribution among its employees
1t is said to have paid an average OF
230 for this stock.
