MARKET RALLIED IN GOOD
FORM AFTER EARL Y DECLINE
DulleSS Met on Declines Indicated the Urgent Selling MoUe
ment Had Spent Its Force

New York. Feb. 17.-Today's stock
market was more professional in char
acter than has been seen for the last
fortnight Price movement was ex-
tremely ragged and to some extent con-
fusing. While the trend at different
intervals was conspicuously reaction
ary. and heaviness continued in a
number of the high priced industrial
specislties, it was evident as the day
progressed that the selling movement
had spent it's force.
Although there was apparently some
belatcd liquidation, the action of the
market indicated that the greater de-
gree of selling pressure emanated from
professional sources There was about
an equal division of the opinion as to
whether this renewed selling represented
further reduction of speculative com
mitments, or further extension of the
short interest In all events, the market
became progressively duller on the de-
clincs and before midday came almost to
Il standStill.
Stories in the morning papers allud-
ing to the condition of the President,
further references to the low reserve
held by the Federal Reserve banks, in =
dicating further advance in CONNER
cial discount rates at the Federal Re.
serve board meeting on Thursday, and
predictions that the annual report OF
the Republic Iron and Steel Co. Will
show only Sd earned in the stock last
wear were all used separately and col
lectiyely as further incentives for re-
uewed attacks by the bear party.
High price specialties were subjected
to renewed pressure at the opening, but
the general list also displayed further
heayiness. Crucible Steel was proml-

first few minutes of the desultory trad
ing. General Motors also came in for
fresh drubbing, receding 34a points
The oil shares we're irregular, Texas
Co. gaining . points. while Mexican Pc
troleum and Pan American Petroleum
fell back. Equipments, shipping and
textiles registered fractional recesslons,
and the rails were hesitant within mar
row limits.
The selling movement, however, was
to large extent concentrated in the
higher priced industrials. The motors
and their accessories were steadily
offered during the morning at losses of
one to four points. Baldwin Locomo-
tive was also distinctly heavy, despite
its favorable annual report, while Endi-
colt johnson added six points to the
continuous decline of the last few days.
Irregular rallies accompanied the
lowering of the initial call money rate
at 6 per cent. which was the lowest
renewal rate since January %. A few
important issues, notably the oils, made
full recoveries by noon. Meanwhile
many stocks had fallen to the lowest
levels of the year.
Excepting the easier money rate,
there we're no definite developments
unon which to base the further rally in
! tbe early afternoon. Advances, how
eyer. were extended from 3 to s points
in oils. motors. equipment and stand
ard specialties. Mexican Petroleum,
Texas Co. General Motors and Cruel

Gains were substantially increased
in the active final hour, ralls rlslng
hriskly with oils. motors, and steels.

AllERIC AN STORES STRONG
FEATURE OF LOCAL LIST
Tone of General Market Much SrongerCood Recovery in
Electric Storage Battery

The activity and strength of Ameri-
can Stores common stock was the bright
spot of todays local market. There
was quite vigorous demand for the
stock during the morning, with more
than 1000 shares changing hands before
mid day. Following up yesterday 8
vigorous rebound the stock scored a
further advance of 81 30 to 42la.
making a net recovery of more than 80
a share from the low level touched in
last weeks slump.
Nothing in the way of positive news
was known to account for the sudden
revival, outside of the knowledge Of the
large earnings. 1t is understood, the
percentage of gain last year was exact-
ly the same as reported by the Wool
worth Co. The directors meet tomorrow
to act upon the preferred stock dividend.
There has been some talk of the pos
sibility Of something being done for the
junior shareholders. While the largely
increased profits unquestionably war
rant some distribution to the common
stockholders, in generally well Informed
circles, no action is expected at this
time. The time, however, for the
Inauguration of dividends on the COM
mon stock is believed to be not far dis
tant. and some action on those lines is
confidently looked for before the summer
is upon us.
While the movement was without any
direct influence upon the general list,
the tone of the market was considerably
improved, in fact, was quite noticeable
in view of the continued surrounding
unsettling factors and circumstances
Electric Storage Battery retrieved most
of the ground lost yesterday, in q rally
to 112, or over 81 above yesterday S
final quotation, and which was S1S
above the bottom figure made last Fri
day. 1t appears as if most Of the
weaker speculative accounts had beer
cleaned up and the stock is in o stronger
position.
Changes in most of the other loca
stocks were limited within small frac
tions. Belated selling depressed LAX,
Superior Corporation to 16. United
Gas Improvement had similar loss n

lingering doubt as to the safety of tn

the irst'time in some three weeks-and
no narticular demand for accommoda
tion' signs multiplied today that hqul
dation in the stock market had run lts
course. Price movements were lndicati'e
of that at the beginning.
The oDening was indeed irregular ana
favorinr the downward side, but it was
obvious that the dip was the result OF
maneuvers on the part of the protes-
sional bears. who met with but indlf-
ferent success in trying out what mlgh'
be done in that direction.
There were so many firm spots dur
ing the initial experiment. and rev
positively strong ones as well, that the
bears soon lost the courage of their
convictions. They did not Immediately
resort to covering, but tried again ana
again. each time more feebly than be.
fore. until midday, when they appeared
to give up the struggle.
BY that time the entire list had raj
lied in good form, although trading was
very quiet. The oils were especially
strong on reports of higher prices for
crude in Pennsylvania and the limited
supply in relation TO demand. Two TO
six points were gained in that group,
and the gains were well sustained.
The steels displayed less resiliency
and Crucible was still weak under the
influence of the financing plan ratified
by the stockholders yesterday and the
failure of the company to declare an
extra stock dividend. United States
Steel moved quietly between 81 and 50.

Sentiment was in general greatly i'm
proved by revision of opinion as to the

Britain, France and Italy. Apparently
the Street was grossly misled in that
matter by the overhasty conclusions
drawn by the London and Paris press
