COMPLETE STOCK
QUOTATIONS
FINANCIAL NEWS AND PRICES N
WALL STREET

The line OF least resistance in the
stock Market to-day appeared to be
upward. Prices maintained a firm
tone and there was a general dispo-
sition among traders to disregard the
i new unfavormble features In the bust
ness situation because of the llkeli-
hood that they have been discounted
by the markets recent sharp decline.
On the other hand there was an in
clination to emphasize the new favor
able factors.
For instance. reports that en-
,,l ployees in many lines Of trade are be-
/, ing laid of and that a number of i'm
osportant manufacturing plants are
dosing down because OF lack OF de-
mRnd for their products did not re-
ceive nearly so much attention from
the speculative community that they
would have been given n fortnight or
80 ago. Conversely. the Improvement
in the banking situation as set forth
by the statement Of the Federal Re
serve institution issued Saturday. the
continued rise In foreign exchange
rates and optimistic interviews with
prominent Industrial leaders were
made the basis Of substantial pur-
chases of stocks.
All gSoups OF stocks participated
In the rise. The volatile specialties.
such as Crucible, Mexican Petroleum,
and others were run up for gains ex-
tending to as. much as five points. In
the more stable issues, which more
accurately represent the true state Of
speculative opinion, gains ranged
from one 20 more than two points.
There was especially persistent buy
ing of the steel, oil and tobacco Issues
in which, II Is known, an extended
short interest exists.
Call money opened and renewed at
per cent. but the rate was quickly
lowered 10 per cent. Sterling eX-
change rose to 38.49A, for a gain OF
more thdn cent, and reached the
highest figure IL has yet touched on

liquidation was continued. Wheat !

hhighly nervous manner, the cotton |
market resumed its decline and by |
