Ticker Tape Scarce

The ban has been placed on the
profigate use of ticker tape in broker
age Offices by the New York Quotation
Company 1t announces that it is faced
with the difficulty of obtaining a suf-
ticient supply because of current con-
ditions in the paper market. 1t has
been custom in the Street on occa-
sions of great jubilation for brokers
and their employees to give vent to
their enthusiasm by throwing reams
Of tape from their windows. Efforts
are now being made to put stop to
this unnecessary waste by the quota
tion company, which has passed the
following resolution: "Resolved, That
the company's subscribers be request
eI to be careful in the use of ticker
tape with the end in view that all
waste be eliminated. We find that
eight rolls week for each stock ticker
and four rolls a week for each bond
ticker are an ample supply for the
busiest markets. Any ticker tape used
in excess Of the necessary require
ments will be charged for"

Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific

Undoubtedly the most talked of rail
road stock in the Street these days is
Rock Island. Brokerage houses in their
market gossip see nothing but good
ahead for this property. They point
out that with rate increase of 23.e
per cent projected for Western roads,
the Rock Island will be placed in a
position where it will show satisfactory
net earnings. Such an increase would
enable it not only to earn full divi-
dends on the per cent and per cent
preferred stock, but very substantial
balance for the common. In the four
months ended with April 80 gross earn
an increase of 29.2 per cent over the, the
corresponding period of 1919. One Of
the significant developments in con-
nection with Rock Island is that some
of It's Southern and Southwestern lines,
which were formerly drag on the
system, now are making relatively the
best showing

Extensive Covering Movement

The covering movement in yester-
days stock market which carried prices
throughout the entire list we'll above
Mondays closing levels centered in the
morning largely in the oils, but by
afternoon it had extended to the steel,
equipment and railroad issues. One
important wire house, which has been
consistently bearish on the market for
several months past, was reported to
have bought $4,000 shares of United
States Steel common. The greater
part of this buying was understood to
have been for customers short of the
stock. In the Doheny oil issues it was
stated that pool buying was again in
evidence. Reports involving Pan
American Petroleum were that direct
ors at their next meeting would de-
clare stock dividend, and that later
on they would order an increase in the
cash distribution.

To Consider Equipment Fund

A meeting of the member roads Of
the Association of Railway Executives
is scheduled to take place on Friday of
this week in Washington to consider
in detail what use shall be made of the
S125,000,000 which is to be reserved
from the S3O0,0OO,O00 government lend
ing fund for the purchase of equip
ment by the railroads. 1t is believed
that the railway executives will give
their views on the proposal of the In
terstate Commerce Commission involv
ing the creation of a national equip
ment trust capitalized at $4,000 900.
of which it is suggested that the car
rier companies subscribe 25 per cent.
the remaining Is per cent to be
financed through a car trust. The
standing committee of the railway ex-
ecutives' organization will also meet
in Washington Friday.

I'm Wall Street
A Shock to the Buyer

A man in Oregon who felt that Lib
erty bonds were on the bargain coun-
ter last week telegraphed leading
New York distributing house to pur-
chase $4,000 worth for his account.
He himself reached the city yesterday,
and, visiting the bond house, asked be-
fore giving his name, Did you receive
that order to buy $4,000 worth of
Liberty bonds?" He was surprised TO
learn that an order Of that size was
not unique and that every one in the
organization did not know about; it.
On hearing of the incident, partner
in another important house of issue
said that small buyers were absorbing
the new bond offerings, and he ex-
planned that by small buyers he meant
those who purchased bonds in blocks
of $4,000 or less.

The Persistent Rise of Marks

The steady rise Of the mark is one
of the outstanding developments of the
month. Bankers are somewhat at
loss to explain their strength and there
is some mystery as to who is buying
marks, as the turnover recently has
been enormous. The mark, which was
down to one cent in February, climbed
to 2.S0 yesterday, and Austrian and
Czecho-Slovak currencies were also
firm. A banker in close touch with the
situation in Germany said that he re-
CARDS marks as a better speculation
than mark bonds, because the latter
are selling at a premium

Sunshine in Wall Street

The causes Of variations in the fn-
ancial world are often imperceptible
and are to be explained by psychology
rather than mathematics. After the
protracted days of gloom in the
Street, shafts Of sunlight frightened
the district yesterday. Stocks re-
covered part Of their losses; sub
stantial improvement in tone was re-
ported in the bond market; the coun-
try banks were more eager buyers of
acceptances; and the foreign ex-
changes, which have been strong for
a fortnight, moved up unusually
sharply.

Holland BUYS Steel Rails

The colonial department of the
