The Bullish West.

u 10 an axiom OF long and tried stand
ing that there Is more market optimism
to the square inch in the West than in
the East. Whether II is because they all
look good when they're far away or be-
causs the distance lends the Western in
vcstor a clearer view the fact remains
that the majority OF the Westerners who
trade in this market are cheerfully hope
full and follow that trend in their opera
tons This fact has been particularly
in the last month, in which
the demsnd for investment securities
from the West has been emphatic. The
buying has not been restricted to odd
lots, but in most cases the certificates
have been paid for or taken out OF the
market. An oficer of one of tho largest
wire houses in Wall Street said yester-
day that his orders from the West In the
last month have been more than so per
cent. on the purchasing side.

The Motor Stocks.

General Motors advanced sharply yes
terday. bearing out the assertion OF
some of its very close friends, who have
been scattering news Of its progress
through the financial district for some
time. Its early progress was straw
that broke the back of some OF It's
heaviest sellers and they were obliged to
cast around for stock before the day had
gone far. This stimulation brought It
gain for the day Of 5h points. Develop
ments in the Maxwell Motor Company
situation, likewise a favorite in yester-
days trading. are In anticipation OF an
early settlement OF Its reorganization
problems. Maxwell Issues have been
strong In sympathy with General Motors
and the second preferred and common
stock have been drawing nearer together
on the theory that the two issues will
have the Same rating in Maxwelrs re-
organization.
