Stock Prices Move
Cautiously Upward
On Bullish Rumors
Easier Money and Belief
That Rail Rate Increase
Will Help Further Tend
to Bolster the Market

Stock prices crept cautiously upward
yesterday. The impulse for the rise
came from the counter at the Stock
Exchange where call loans are made.
The renewal rate dropped from 8 to T
per cent, and later in the day the life
blood of speculation could be borrowed
at 6 per cent.
The slight upswing of prices auto
matically started bullish talk in some
quarters, but the ordinary trader was
PLAINLY perpleXed by the situation
Easy money at q moment when it was
unexpected dangled before the eyes of
operators as an irresistible lure, and
yet none cared to go too far, because
OF the fear that the speculative ele-
ment WAS perhaps being toyed with by
the money lenders. Bankers were in
clined to agree that the temporary cas-
ing OF money rates was q transitory
thing, without profound significance
Brokers for the most part looked
upon the mystifying fluctuations as
trading market and were unready to
make very positive predictions about
the immediate trend Of security prices
However, many observers expressed
the view that the favorable effect of
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
rate decision had not yet been fully
and after the close Of the market the
rate findings still loomed up as one of
the constructive market forces. More
over the estimate that the railroads
contemplated spending 500, 900 900 this
year aided sentiment.
Neither in international politics nor
foreign exchange was there anything
yesterday to set spectators wild with
bulllsh enthusiasm. The advance of

low record for the movement, having
already lost more than half of the
ground that they recovered since the
break to $3.1S on February last.
Sterling, as a result of short covering.
regained most of the days loss in the
afternoon. and Continental exchanges
held up fairly we'll, though their ten
dency was easy
The collapse of stock prices earlier
IN the week to new low levels induced
some buying by bargain hunters, and
the turn upward, started by easier
money, was facilitated by short COW
cring. The professional traders were
less active the bear side Yesterday.
There was sharp enrinkage in the
volume of trading Yesterday and sell
ing pressure Was lessened. However.
there were instances of weakness in
the market. American Tobacco was

Of dividend payments in script. and
American Cotton Oil, whose dividend
was passed or Tuesday. suffered an
other loss Of 7 points. The rails were
the leading gamers. with equipments
and steels also showing firmness. de-
spite reactions. Toward the close the
market was rather dull, but many Of the
gains were retained.

Tuesdays late upturn in the mar
ket was followed by the usual crop
of rumors that generally accompanies
any sharp reversal of price movements.
Among those heard yesterday were tho
following: That the market turned

considerable participation in the
American Wooden underwriting had

Stock Exchange Money

Although call money has loaned on
the Stock Exchange at 6 per cent on
two successive days for the first time
since June II, bankers are by no means
certain that this relatively low rate
VIII continue for any great length of
time. They state that if 6 per cent ca II
money lasts for a few days more it is
hkely TO result in Withdrawals of funds
on deposit here by interior banks and
that this IN itself would be likely to
cause the local banks TO again increase
the rate. Another factor in making
tor temporary ease Of call money
has been the drastic liquidation Of
securities over the last ten DAYS. Signs

the tali are found in the market for
time loans. Bankers say that the per

Fred W. Stevens
TO Act for g.. 5.
Bankers I'm China
EN-Mcmber of J. p. Morgan
& Go. StaffWiil Represent
Americans imG.oslsorliual,:
Sails for Orient in Oct.

Frederick W. stevens. banker and
lawyer, has been appointed resident
representative at Peking Of the Amer
lean banking group in the Chinese
consortium. In making the announce
mcnt on behalf Of the group, Thomas
". Lamont. of ]. J. Morgan & Co.,
said that MIR. Stevens would sail for
the Orient in October after meeting
the international representatives Of
Great Britain, France and Japan. who
will hold a conference in this city on
that any preliminary advances viii be
made to China before this parley.
Mr.. Stevens will occupy a position
similar to that held by the late vii
lard d. Straight, who represented the
American bankers in the earlier con-
sortlum. In the new international or
ganzation for aiding China, however,
the United States, because of its
heightened role as world financial
power and because Of the lessened
ability of Great Britain and France as
a result Of the war to make huge for
eign loans, will play IA more conspicu-
Gus part
Prior to 1915, Mr.. Stevens had spent
several years as a member Of the staff
of Morgan G. Co.. and was engaged
chiefly with railroad and other cor
porate affairs. After sevcrng this
banking connection five years ago. he
travelled extensively in the Far East
and has since been active as director
of several companies and in the re-
organization OF others. For twenty
years after being graduated from the
University of Michigan in 1887. he
practiced law in Grand Rapids, Mich,
and later in Detroit, being general
counsel for the Perc Marquette Rail
road for several years.
A. 6. Hitler Of the Hong Kong
Shanghai Bank, is the British resident
representative; NJ. Baylin, of the Banc
de indie ct Chine, represents the
French, and X. Takeuchi. the Japanese.
Mr.. Stevens will act as the eyes of the
American group - China. but his
duties will be more than reportorial.
At the New York meeting. chair
man for the meeting will be selected.
Mr.. Lamont WAS the chairman at the
first sessions in France. and it is
likely that a representative of Great
Britain or France will be chosen.

Look for Weak Spots

Professional traders who have taken
p bearish position on the market re-
sumed their tactics of looking for
weak spots in the Industrial list yes
terday, and the result was a highly
Irregular price trend at the close.
So called inventory stocks showed little
resistance to selling pressure, while
the rails, the steels and the equip
ments were harder to put down. AS 4
matter fact, Steel common at the
end of the day had registered a net
gain of q, while Midvale, Lackawanna,
and American Locomotive were up
fractionally. Gains in the rails
averaged from a fraction to a point

panies was still in process OF bein. :;
