Report of German
Revolution Fails
To Upset Market
Early Irregularity Followed
by Sharp Gains in Indus
trial Specialties; Reading
Leads Advance of Rails

/ Reports of revolution in Germany
resulting in the overthrow Of the Ebert
government, probably accounted in a
measure for the early irregularitY In
yesterdays brief stock market session.
But the market soon broke away from
that influence when no confirmation of
the rumors came through, and a num-
per or the high-priced industrials, par
ticulariy the motor shares, Crucible
Steel and the rails. developed a pro-
nounced display Of strength toward the
end OF the flrst hour.
Striking gains were registered In
several Of these issues, with Crucible
Steel and Reading displaying sensa-
tlonal strength on heavy buying. Cru
chile sold early at 2221a, but on tho
later rise rushed up to 241. closing at
the top for net gain Of 16 points.
PREVIOUS to the sharp upturn in Cru
cible, Chandler Motors jumped above
l5l bn fairly active trading.
Reading was the real leader Of the
market in point of activity, showing
dealings OF we'll over $4,000 shares, out
stripping Its nearest rival, Steel COM
mon, to the extent Of about 10000
ahares. Az SS1a, yesterdays top price
1or Reading. the stock showed a gain
OF u points. 1t was less than month
ago that Reading sold down to 64a4 on
the break that preceded the enactment
OF the Cummins-Esch legislation. Buy
ing Of the stock has been heavy for a
fortnight, being based largely upon the
expectations that the time is not far
distant when Readings large and valu-
able assets in the form of coal prop
erty investme ents will be segregated and
distributed to the stockholders in the
form of special distribution.
The run-up in Reading was the sig
nal for constructive operations in other
parts of the rail list, and such old-line
issues as Northern Pacific, Great
Northern preferred, Delaware & Hud-
son, Louisville e. Nashville, Baltimore
& Ohio and New York Central moved
ahead with considerable vigor. In
most cases gains were we'll maintained.

Considering the fact that there has
probably been unusually heavy shift
ing of funds through the banks in an
tlclpation of the Federal tax payments
due tomorrow, the changes in the po-
sition of the Clearing House banks as
disclosed in yesterdays statement were
small. Surplus reserves increased S26,-

creased S27052,0O0. Slight improve

Money and Credit

Call money last week was easy until
Friday, when the rate took sudden
squirt to Is per cent, On the preceding
DAY the ruling and renewal rate had
been Z per cert. This apparent ease
was attributed by bankers to the de-
posit of funds in New York by individ-
uals and corporations preparatory to
meeting the tax payments that fall due
tomorrow. Estimates of the amounts
due the government run as high as half
a billion dollars.
Just as the lower rate for the greater
part OF the week was due to loans made
from temporary deposits of funds the
tightness at the close on Friday could
be attributed to the calling in of this
money for purposes Of tax payments.
The opinion in banking circles is that
rates will continue high until the lat
ter part of this week. 1t is stated that
the government is expected to in1medi-
ately put to use the funds derived from
tax payments.
Time money was trifle easier last
week and small loans by banks werc
made for periods running up to ninety
days. Tho rates quoted were 81s and 8
per cent for mixed collateral.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange


The European exchanges again
showed net gains for the week at the
ciose ,:, OF business Saturday, just as they
ala the previous week. The crest Of
tne wave was reached Thursday, and
after that there was revision down
ward
The impulse for the upward move
ment, which started two days ago, came
from the announcement of the British
britain and France would take steps
to pay off the Anglo-French loan and
not renew it, This official statement
gave significance to the current report $
that large supply of gold would flow
westward across the Atlantic. Although
o'hclal announcements regarding gold
movements were conspicuously lacking,
many OF those who were short of ster-
ling aud frame exchange felt impclled
to cover their commitments and the
use IN rates caused still more to cover.
But the upward movement had itself
the brakes which halted the rise.
Many business firms have been hold
ing sterling and other deprecated cx
change for 8 better price, and, when
rates are low. they will not offer their
bills. However, on an upward move
ment, the point is eventually reached
where those long of bills feel ready to
dump them on the market. and the
food of offerings checks the increase
IN the dollar value of foreign moneys.
Moreover, as the rise continued, new
short lines were put out, causing "a
reaction.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value; that is, If YOU
were buying a dollar with pounds.

OF last week, as compared with year
ago follows:
