Market Shows
Resistance to
Heavy Pressure
Short Sales and Profit
Taking Easily Absorbed;
Oil and Motor Shares
Are Strong and Active

Although the upward movement Of
security prices were somewhat less Wig
orous yesterday, the stock market as a
whole was strong. Excellent resistance
veloped as a result of profit taking and
short selling was displayed at all
times. Brokers saw in the strong under
tone evidence Of good technicalsposi-
ton, especially as prices had been ad-
vancing rather steadily since Monday
afternoon and sharp reaction, there
force would have been natural.
Interest, centered largely on the oil
and motor shares. The former were
stimulated by the announcements that
the Standard Oil Company of New
line 2 cents gallon. This was ac-
cepted as another indication that oil
producing and refining companies are
in favorable position owing to the
enormous demand for their products.
The statistical evidence tends to show
that in spite Of the tremendous boom
which has been witnessed in the oil
business, including the development
of number of important fields, the
demand for petroleum and it's products
is in excess of. the current output, 50
that trade interests are freely predict
ing even higher prices. There is talk
of $40 barrel for Pennsylvania crude.
These things tend to stimulate specu-
lation in Oil shares, perhaps to a
greater extent than is warranted, since
at present prices the stocks Of many
companies may have discounted a good
deal In the way Of increased earnings.
There was nothing In the news to
account for the strength of the motor
on technical conditions than anything
else. A substantial short interest in
the motors has been built up during
the recent advance-an advance which
amounts to over 100 points in General
Motors-and the continued. strength Of
the market is inducing some Of the
bears to cover rather than face the
possibility Of further losses.
Copper shares generally held most Of
The coppers are influenced good deal
more than most stocks by the trend in
the foreign exchange market, because
so much of their product is sold
abroad. The pound sterling yesterday
sold at 1888, or 81 cents above it's re-
cent low, and other foreign moneys
gained proportionately. Later, a sharp
reaction wiped out the gains reported
earlier in the day, but this was not
especially disturbing in view of the
extent and rapidity Of the recent ad-
vance.
There is an inclination in some quar-
ters to ascribe the recovery in foreign
exchange rates to improvement in the
trade outlook; This view may possibly
prove. to be the correct one, although
that is doubtful. 1t should be remem-
bered that more than one element en-
ters into the exchange rates.
The export trade itself has held up
very we'll, as the January figures show
but it is to be expected that the Feb
ruary statistics will exhibit declin-
ing tendency, which will continue for

Money yesterday renewed at 7 per

throughout the session. There was no
change in the time money situation, the
supply continuing so scant that high
bids failed to develop any considerable
offerings.

About Money

Optimism generated by the swift
ascent in stock prices this week has
not blinded the Street to possibilities
Of further trouble due to credit condi-
tlons. 1t would not surprise MANY
1olks were the Federal Reserve Bank
OF New York to mark up it's official
rates OF discount again. In fact, it is
understood that the directors of the
institution have the matter under con-
slderatlon. In connection with the
nteavy payments being made through
the banks on account Of Federal in
come and excess profits taxes, due on
Monday next, the date of the first in
stallment, it was pointed out yesterday
that the money market could not be
expected to benefit from any improve
ment In the position of the banks such
as would follow from increased GOV
ernment deposits. The disposition of
the banks, it was stated by one banker
IS to do everything possible to re-
duce their Indebtedness at the Reserve
institution. and any slack that MIGHT
develop will likely be taken up For
that purpose rather than in an ey-
pansion of Street loans. Look;no.
ahead, many leading bankers are SAID
to expect extremely tight money in
May or June. AT private dinner re-
Gently given by a prominent banker to
number Of his friends it is under

by several of those present in fhe
course Of a discussion of the oaneraI

Associated Dry Goods

Although directors Of the Associated
Dry Goods Corporation did the ex-
pected yesterday, when they declared
an initial quarterly dividend of i per
cent on the common stock, thereby
putting it upon an annual basis of 4
per cent, the stock advanced l 4 points
on the announcement. The annual re-
port, which will be issued to the stock
holders within the next ten days, is
expected to show less than SIS shane
earned in 1919, after deductions for
taxes and for preferred dividends. Even
then the company will have done much
better than in 1918, when only $2.O4
was earned, and in 1917, when $1.54
was earned on the stock. The company
benefited in 1919 from the widespread
retail buying which held up well dur
ing the summer months, period when
sales have fallen off in other years.
