THE DAY IN WALL STREET
Steel Prices Average Hgher-Stutz Motor Has o;. D Buying in American Car and Foundrv S.I ''
 Reacts in Profit Taking

cent rains in the far west an ofe- clal Of the company states the fruit ana vegetable crops for this wear are assured.
 Buying of American Car and Foun- dry common stock this week has been based upon expectations in certain well informed quarters of something larger in the way of a return upon the stock. Gossip has 1t that the directors plan at the next meeting to declare an extra cash dividend of $4 share on the SSO.Oo0,O00 outstanding common. under its present conservative management the company has built up large special reserve to cover regular dividends on the common stock which is now said to amount to $10,S00.000, or sufficient to take care of the 12 per cent dividend for at least three years ahead. Work ing capital of car and foundry is estimated at $50, 1000, 900, not tangi- ble assets applicable to the com mon stock are estimated at s245 A. share. It is understood that the plan of the directors to pay an ex- tra cash dividend provides that the funds required for that purpose will come from current earnings SO that the special dividend reserve will be allowed to remain intact.
 The market was expected today when 1t opened to be above Fri days closing prices, but it proved disappointment to many who had hoped that the rise would be car ried through to the close. Traders who have been working on the constructive side of the market ex- plained the reaction of the last hour to the natural inclination on the part of people who had profits to take them in view of the uncer- taintieS over the two bank state ments that did not appear until after 12 o'clock. Fridays sudden rise in Steel common to above 1O5. 1t was said, had attracted a weak speculative following. which did not wish to carry thir holdings over the week end. After making a new high record on the present move ment of 106. Steel reacted at the close to 104%, where it showed a net loss of half a point. Reports were current in brokerage quar- ters that a powerful pool in the stock had been organized on the be- lief that the corporation will soon begin again the declaration of extra dividends.

New York. March 27.-The gain in the average price of eight lead ing iron and steel products this week to SS060 a gross ton. com pared with S79.35 the week before, is attributed entirely to an in- crease of s10 ton in the quotation for Bessemer rails, which are now $55 a ton. In this connection 1t is noted that while the Bessemer product Is used in computing the average, practically all rails sold are open-hearth, which are quoted $2 a ton higher by all producers. Reports from Pittsburg indicate a less acute demand for steel, due mainly to the improvement in the transportation situation. Consum- CTS are now able to get shipments with more regularity, but the de- mand is still strong.
 Whether or not it was due to the publicity given to the statement that the leading interest in Stutz Motors controlled so per cent of the outstanding stock and for this req son had been hailed before the business conduct committee of the stock exchange. the buying ac- tivity in the stock was less sus- tained today.
 After selling at new high pfice of 330 there was a reaction by the !. close to SIS, where there was a net loss of 6 points for the day. This was the first time in weeks that the stock had not closed higher than the day preceding. even when the rest of the market was slip ping. Brokers stated, however, that the short interest in the stock was still bulky and that this was attested to by the fact that it was lending at a premium of per cent after today's close.
 The preferred stock of the Cali fornia Packing Corporation, which was not converted into common on the basis of 11-2 shares of common for each share of preferred, will be retired on April at $115 a share According to an official announce mont, only 5000 shares of the so, 900 shares originally outstanding re- main to be paid off.
