Stock Trading
Market Displays Generally
Firna Tone; Attendance
Light; Bank Statements
Disclose Improvement

What there was to the two-hour
stock market session yesterday gave a
good account of itself. Between the
yacht race and the desire of traders to
get away from the Street for the end
of the week recess, attendance was
slim, and naturally curtailed opera
tions. Dealings during the forenoon
fell short of 10000 shares.
Stocks displayed much better tone
than on preceding days of the week,
rallying vigorously in spots on COM
paratively light buying. Crucible Steel
stood out as the star performer, jump
ing full eight points at the opening.
1t was clean case of the shorts in
Crucible being trapped. The announce
ment of the declaration of lax per
cent stock dividend came out Of clear
sky and the sensational rise in Cruel
bic at the opening was in response to
the news.
Other shares which were under
pressure on Friday rallied we'll, among
them being Invincible OIL United
States Steel and Baldwin Locomotive.
Express SnareS We're features OF un
usual strength on buying based upon
the prospects that the companies would
benefit from the new contracts to be
entered into shortly with the railroads.
Rail shares displayed some irregularity
on light dealings.
The weekly bank statements dis
closed Improvement in the position at
this center. The Federal Reserve Bank
of New York reported ratio of re-
serves to deposit and note liabilities
of 40.s per cent compared with 1913 per
cent the week before. The bank lost
a small amount of gold in it's transac-
tions with the other banks of the sys-
TEN. Member bank borrowings fell Off
somewhat. The New York Clearing
House banks increased their surplus
reserves by S19,21S,330, the total sur

A. T. and T. Stockholders

In the twelve months ended April
last the stockholders list of the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph Company
showed a further reduction in the
majority holdings, due undoubtedly to
the downward curve in the price Of the
stock, which has receded from 1887
IN May, 1919, to a low of 921s. AS in
1919, the most striking shifting of
ownership was the continuation of
selling by the Crane family. Two years
ago the Cranes were recorded as own
ing 4O,665 shares, in 1919 with 1852
and this year with only $3.50 shares
W. Murray Crane. who is a director.
lowered his holdings to e,O00 shares
after reduction from 13 900 to 5000
IN the previous twelve months. With
the exception of the shifting of the
Crane holdings those of other mem
bers of the board generally remained
intact. Harry B. Thayer apparently
bought 500 shares in the year ended
with April l. as ne was down on that
date for 1850, against 25O a year ago
The late Theodore N. Vail was record
ed with 4,667 shares, against 1864 in
1919 and 1913. Three dozen banking
and brokerage houses on April l held
total of 111,792 shares, against 49,
62o shares a year ago.

Kahn Suggests Policy
For Railroad Betterment
Would Remove Them From
Politics; Says They Need
L. S. Supervision

"The railroad question:" says Mr.
Kahn, in his new book Our Economic
and Other Problems" (Doran), must be
taken out of politics."
Perhaps no other American is as well
qualified as Otto H. Kahn to speak on
this vexed oroblem-to point out exist
ing abuses and to outline a construc-
tive program. For Mr. Kahn speaks
with authority that is based on long
practical experience in the world of
finance.
at is vital to our railroad that in
vestors be reassured as to the safety
in American railroad securities. The
railroad should be free from conflicting
jurisdiction by the several states and
placed substantially under Federal au-
thority. The railroad question must
be taken out of politics. The system
of public policy toward the railroads,
as evolved theoretically in America, is
8 far better system than government
ownership.
"The program in support of which |
believe public opinion is crystallizing
more and more is: Let the government
exercise strong and comprehensive con-
troll, but fair and constructive, not
primitive or strangling.
"Without eliminating state commits
sions, let their functions be so adjusted
as to avoid conflict with the Federal
in matters of rate making
and security issues.
LET railroading then be thrown open
to private initiative and enterprise and
competition in service; make it an at
tractive field for capital, and above all,
for men of ability and vision.
PERSONALLY" adds Mr.. Kahn, 81 am
wholly opposed to the timid opportun-
ism which would barter away the real
ity of private initiative and enterprise
for a permanent governmental guaran-
tee of earnings"

No Bonds To-day"

Ol one of his swings around the
circle selling bonds Mr.. Nauer dropped
INTO smal. town and called upon two
wldcy vs. with more than 100000 held
IN trust for their children. When he
called the door was slammed in his
tace. win the curt remark, "No bonds
to-day" In another town he called
upon woman who had moved from "A
boom" village after realizing several
hundred thousand dollars for her oil
properties. She had just purchased a
handsome residence with hardwood
trim and parquet floors. While the
pond salesman was waiting she gave an
order 10 a furniture man for some
linoleum to cover the bare floor. mean
while informing the furniture man
that she had vowed if she ever had
money she'd have home with linoleum
on the floor. Then the bond salesman
butted in to sell his wares. But his
bonds didn't make an appeal. You
can't fool me with any of those things"
said the woman
