STOCKS ARE FIRM;
SH0RTSC0VER|NG
Early Selling Wave Choked
Off and Rallies Follow.
Sentiment Improves. D..
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 14.-There
was one more wave Of selling at the
opening of the stock exchange this
in which numerous issues
made new lows. 1t was over very
quickly. however. and before the day
was half an hour old. ii became ap-
parent that the market was getting
back it's nerve. Selling to procure
funds for the last installment OF the
income and profits taxes was much
less of an influence, evidently be-
cause it had been pretty well COM
pleted at yesterdays close.
1t was doubtful whether there was
any intentional effort at support on
the part of banking interests.
But it was possible TO gather by
inquiries, through the street. much
testimony to the effect that investment
buying was coming into the market
in increasing quantity and that some
of it represented a genuine accumu-
lation by people having an inside
knowledge of the conditions in their
respective properties.
Prices Too Low.
These so-called insiders have re-
allied for some time that current SELL
ing prices underestimated true values
estimated by the prices of October.
1919. Scale orders have been coming
into play for at least month past
Their effect, not hitherto noticeable.
commenced to be more apparent IN
the market this morning.
The commodity markets also showed
signs of returning confidence. Cotton
started in lower. but afterward raj
lied. Wheat and corn continued the
recoveries begun yesterday Two
broad considerations now underly op-
erations in the wheat pit, first. the
conviotion that nobody can lose mon
ey in the long run buying commou-
ity which is selling well under cost
of production; second. the expectation
that whether through the revised war
finance corporation, or through tne
new organization to create credltS IN
the foreign trade, or through potn' the
outlook for grain producers is on the
mend.
California Petroleum Jumps.
California Petroleum attracted at
tention soon after the start OF busi-
ness by its abrupt jump from Il TO
23 between sales. 1t then pushed
ahead rapidly, encountering very few
offerings on the way up. A move
ment of this kind in such market
naturally suggests some explanation
of an extraordinary character
In this instance, however. the rea-
son lies entirely in the earnings OF
the company, which make the recent
s. ling prices of the stock look as
prOportionately low.
These earnings are now running at
the rate of about $40 year a share.
and inasmuch as all arrears OF div
| idend on the preferred have been
cleared up. the way has been opened
| to the declaration of dividend on the
common as soon as general conditions
improve.

RAIL BONDS Lower;
SOME FIRM SPOTS
Liberty Issues Hold Well.
Industrial List Ragged.
Fleischmann's Strong.

NEW YORK. December IA Especially
Bonds did not recover on q scale with
the rally in stocks.
Bond prices, as a rule, were lower
than yesterday.
This was not true, however, of the
liberty issues, which were a shade
higher. Nor was it true of most of
the foreign governments that are ac-
lively dealt in in this market. Bonds
like the Swiss IS and the French IS
held steady. Belgian 71as, continuing
their decline. got below 81 for the first
time
The part Of the market where pres
sure still showed was the railway sec
ton; this. despite the better tone of
rail stocks. The st. Louis Southwest
ern Terminal 5s, for example. which
were quoted yesterday at 50, fell of
to 5S7a, although the st. Louis South
western stocks rallied sharply. North
ern Pacific 3s, which we're 54 yester-
day. sold at So * today. The fractions
were active and weak, especially the
Third Avenue adjustment 5s. which
receded to "a. and the New York Rail-
way issues. Hudson and Manhattan
incomes. which have held up among
the best of any Of the low-grade spec
ulative bonds, continued to find a
ready market around 211k
Industrial Bonds Weak.
In the Industrial section there was
continued softness. Bonds connected
with the metal industry were under
some pressure, as were the stocks. The
American Smelling and Refining first
Sc. which opened yesterday morning at
"a. got down to 72M. There was no
further pronounced decline in the Ana
conda issues. but the per cent bonds
had only nominal market at go the
actual market being around 49, The
new Solvey Ss. which were brought out
at par. were down to 99A. On the other
hand, the new Fleschmann per cent
notes, which were sold to dealers at
par. have since been repurchased large
ly for inside account at 10O1z and they
were bid that today.

IHL 90 BETTER SPIRIT
Some business people are we'll
satisfied if they can get as large
a volume of trade as they had
the year before. Others con-
stantly lay out greater marks
Of achievement. During the
coming year they are always
hoping TO sell 20 per cent or so
pe~ cent more than they did the
\ that has passed.
pc OF that type are usually
9ood advertisers, They realize
that a business, to increase its
output, must constantly be get
ting new customctrs and drawing
patronage from greater distances.
To accomplish that thev must
use some form Of solicitation. As
newspaper advertising is the least
expensive form of publicity, it is
the one most commonly en-
ployed.
A concern that is working so
dctelminedly along these lines
to make new friends, is going to
make unusual efforts to please
the public. It can be depended
upon to 60 the limit in making
low prices and hunting up bar
gains to attract the people.
