Stock Prices Rise
As Street Becomes
More Optimistic
Short Covering is the Main
Factor in the Advance:
Rally of Railroad Shares
a Feature of the Market

The movement toward recovery which
got under way in the stock market on
, Friday made further progress yester-
day when representative industrial rail
road issues advanced quite sharply,
holding their gains generally to the
close of the twohour session.
While buying was plainly the result
OF growing disposition on the part
of professional traders and others who
had sold stocks in anticipation Of the
decline. to cover such commitments,
there was nevertheless better feeling
abroad in the financial district.
One thing that helped sentiment was
the indication that the threatened
strike Of railroad men, scheduled to
take place next week. will not come
to pass as a result of the proposal
OF the President to the brotherhood
chiefs. While the Street was still in
the dark as to the nature of the Presi-
dents proposal this development was
responsible in large measure for the
better tone displayed by railroad
stocks. Recovery in many of the stand
points on comparatively small vol
ume of buying. The ease with which
the rails rallied gave evidence to the
small floating supply Of such stocks.
While hardly a direct market influ-
ence, the main topic of discussion in
financial circles was the surprising an
nouncement of the forced resignation
OF Secretary of State Lansing.
The trend of stock prices was we'll
defined most Of the brief session.
Stocks ruled higher as general thing
at the opening. and their improvement
was progressive right up to the close
Motor shares were among the strong
est spots in the market, although sew
eral Of the oils displayed a tone of
vigorous strength that was we'll eus-
tained. U. s. Steel common rose 1h
points net to 90 after selling as low as
977s. The low price on Friday was 95.
The exhibits Of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and the Clearing
House banks were unfavorable, SO far
as their reserve position at the end of
the week was concerned The ratio of
reserves to deposit and note liabilities
of the Federal institution dropped to
38.9 per cent, compared with 1877 per
cent the week before. The Clearing
House banks reduced their loans $685.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

during the last week the European
exchanges recovered slightly. The rise
was steady until yesterday. when there
was fairly sharp decline. Although
to cents to the pound sterling, it was
small compared with the drastic de-
clines of preceding weeks.
international bankers were not In
clined to look upon the upturn as espe-
cially significant, but attributed it
mainly to the technique of exchange
dealings. The new low marks attained
during the previous week stimulated
buying against prospective needs of
importers and also induced speculative
buying. This brought turn in the
trend Of quotations and gave new heart,
at least temporarily, to the holders Of
sterling and other European bills, who
for time in panicky spirit were dump
ing their holdings on the market for
whatever they would bring. There was
consequently no longer the same ner-
vous scrambling for dollars in the for
eign markets.
Yet against this improvement, which
perhaps was discounting the probabil
lty of reduction of imports overseas,
bankers recalled that the basic inter
national situation is still the same.
They reiterated that fundamental i'm
provement must be based on better
balancing of imports and exports and
a reduction Of the paper currency out
standing in the former belligerent
countries of Europe Europe at pres
ent is paying cash mainly for its cur
rent purchases, which. bankers predict,
will have to be cut still further unless
credits are granted. Some industrial
concerns are still extending compara-
lively long time credits to their Euro
pean customers.
II you calculate the cost Of the dol
lar In terms of ferign money at cur
rent exchange value, that is. if YOU
were buying dollars with pounds.
marks or francs, it's value at the close

In RediscOunts
On Business Bills
Federal Reserve Bank Re-
port Shows Slump in
Ratio of Reserves to De.

Substantial increases in rediscounts
of commercial paper and bankers ac
ceptances were shown in the weekly
statement of the local Federal Reserve
Bank for last week, the loans on bust
ness bills being s35,671, 1876 greater than
for the week ended February s, while
advances on bankers acceptances,
amounting to S204, ,5e1 ,444, increased

war obligations at the end of the week
stood at s591, ,o21 ,s41, compared with
$bS1 ,478,508 the week before.
Despite the heavy liquidation In the
stock market during the week, the state
ment OF the Reserve Bank indicated
that the member banks were not able
to reduce their borrowings. apparently
because Of the heavier demand for
funds from commercial sources. This
was also borne out by the statements
of bankers during the week that they
were not trying to force liquidation Of
commercial loans.

reserves to deposits and Federal Re-
serve note liabilities dropped to 3s9
per cent, compared with the low record

itles, was 42.5 per cent, compared with

per cent for the corresponding week
year ago.
Total reserves of the bank last week
showed an increase Of S13,163,932, due

Look for Sterilization

The feeling around the commission
houses yesterday was that if the mar
ket is able to hold its own in the
course of the next week stabilization
of values around present levels lasting
for some time to come may be ex-
pected. Many observers insisted that
bear drives from now on will not prove
nearly so successful as they have dur
ing the last fortnight. AS regards the
rally on Friday and yesterday, it is felt
in some quarters that it was bit too
rapid to hold. Professional operation
in the main does not hold out much
hope, however, for successful opera
tions on the constructive side One Of
the most hopeful signs, perhaps, has
been the cash buying Of stocks in the

How It Works Out y

Selling Of railroad securities for
European account in recent days has
netted foreign investors a nice profit
as result Of the deprecated ex-
change, despite the fact that the price
at which a particular stock is sold may
be considerably less than originally
paid. An example of how it works in
the case of an English investor is cited.
A London man sells 100 shares of
Northern Pacific here at, say, 7OA,
netting $7,008. With sterling at, say,
$3.50, this means he will get about
f2,12o. On the other hand, II sterling
was at normal, where it was when he
bought his Northern Pacific, he would
be able to buy only f1,47S for his
$7,008. In other words, he makes about
S642 more because Of the extremely low
rate for sterling.

Words of Assurance

Bryon W. Holt, Of Goodbody & Co.
says at the end Of one of the widest
fortnights the stock market has ex
pcrienced In many months: eve do
not think that banking panic is near.
With so many bargains in the Street,
especially in investment securities, we
think that security prices must be at
or near the bottom, at least for some
weeks or months to come. Nearly nll
stocks look good to US just now for
short pull. For long pull the most
of the industrials do not look good. We
expect production costs to remain high
and selling prices and profits to de-
cline.'
