STOCK MARKET
NEWS AND REVIEW
Quotations for Shares Resume
Upward Movement Despite
UnfavOrable News.
SHORTS AGAIN PUNISHED
Issues in Which Distribution of Profits
Are Expected Are in Greater
Demand.

The stock market evidently is irnpervi-
Gus TO bad news for the time being Not
withstanding a further increase of
per cent in the renewal rate for call loans
and despite another severe decline in for
eign exchange, with all that is supposed to
mean adversely for the export business OF
the United States, prices of shares re-
sumed their upward course and went
steadily ahead until the last hour OF the
session. Then in the daily process OF profit
taking or of evening up contracts quota
tions receded somewhat from their highest
levels. The tone of trading at the close
was strong. In brief, to those on the
constructive aide the days proceedings
bore indications of the start Of a bull
market Short covering, Of course, was
responsible for the major portion Of the
business but on the other hand influential
buying was noted in some directive"
issues.
The turnover did not increase to any
great degree, but the hestancy could well
be traced to very natural disposition to
await the United States Steel Corporation 5
quarterly report due after the close OF
trading. That was especially true in view
of the pessmistic predictions about that
statement with which the street recently

NEW JERSEY ZINC co.
TO BUILD NEW PLANTS

Zinc stocks arc likely soon to lead the
market for metal shares, in the estimation
of interests which are familiar with the
position OF these shares. One of those
which are regarded with favor is Inter
state Callahan. 1t is strong in cash and
could readily make an extra distribution.
The New Jersey Zinc Company an
nounces the contemplated construction OF
an additional zinc oxide and lithopene
plant to meet the rapidly growing demand
for these products. The New Jersey Zinc
Company was organized in 1913. 1t is the
Oldest and largest zinc company in Amer
lea. It's ore properties are located in
various parts of the country.
Numbered among these is the famous
Franklin, n. j., mine. from which is
secured zinc ore unequalled for purity any
where else in the world. The company is
now operating zinc oxide, lithopene and
slab zinc plants in Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas and
Oklahoma.

had been filled. When the report appeared
it was much better than had been gener-
ally expected. Taking into consideration
the large accumulation OF new business on
tho books of the company the outlook for
the current year is remarkably bright
Another restrictive influence on the mar
ket was the weather and the correspond
iLg difficulties OF transportation, which
kept many brokers from business.
The features of the day again were the
shares OF those corporations which are
credited with having accumulated large
profits that now may be divided among
the stockholders on some plan similar to
that recently announced by the directors
of Crucible Steel The latter issue after
repeating its former high broke sharply
on profit taking and lack of support. Ap-
parently the more important short inter-
ests in the stock had covered. ON the 9TH
er hand the bears in the motor group
came i'm for some additional rough hand
ling. Certain of the out-of-town public
utilities which it is known are in good po-
sition financially also were in demand.
Credit conditions throughout the coun-
try seem TO show moderate Improvement.
One Western financier was quoted as say
ing that eastern warehouses are congested
with raw materials accumulated for spec
ulative purposes and rnat the Reserve
Bank increase in rates equals 26 per cent
in the cost of carrying commodities at the
seaboard on money borrowed from the
banks. IL that is correct great deal of
that credit soon should be liqudated.
Taking the market as a whole, while it
recorded further Developments in recti-
flying an oversold condition it also indi-
Gated that some good news might be in
possession of important interests. Out
side participation. however, is still great
ly restricted.

published after the close. Other reasons
for the. strength apparent in the steel
group were the news of advancing prices
for steel products and the knowledge that
steel manufacturers are in the fortunate
position of being able TO elect what busi-
ness they shall accept because of the
lpreponderance of orders over their ability
to make deliveries. The shorts in Cruclble
and Republic Steel suffered further pun
ishment yesterday. Both these stocks re-
peated their highs of the day before. 1t
is understood that some large shorts were
trapped on the bulge of the last two days.

ing in them in belief that the current
