Bears Turn to Bulls

Several important Stock Exchange
firms which have been consistently
bearish on the market for several
months past regarded the reduction in
the Federal Reserve Bank rediscount
rate on commercial paper rs sufficient
reason for switching their position,
along with other recent developments
regarded as constructive. Typical of
the change in sentiment was that re-
vealed in yesterdays market comment
by Benjamin Block, of Block, Maloney
& Co., who said: "a few days ago
said that the corner had been turned;
that important constructive develop
ments were under way which would
have far-reaching effect and stimu-
late confidence and fresh buying. Here
are some Of them: Bank discount rates
have been reduced abroad and here,
showing an end of the strain oa the
money market; one of the worlds
largest corporations cut wages without
any protest from the men. Other re-
ductions will follow rapidly, in my
opinion, which will enable the rail-
roads to reanter the market for needed
supplies. Perhaps most important of
all, the German indemnity will soon be
settled, unless all signs deceive, and
following it large credits will be es-
tablished, starting the wheels Of COM
merce and business again as never
before"

Improvement in Motor Industry

An optimistic view of the trend IN
the automotive industry is taken by
the Motor and Accessory Manufacture
ers' Association, which notes months
sustained and unbroken progress in
the onward march of the industry.
"The gratifying betterment of funda-
mental factors noted in last months
survey" says the formal statement,
''is increasingly manifest in the first
hand reports and authoritative fnan-
cial data consolidated in the summary
for the month of April. Payments for
the last month have been better than
for the three months period. More
firms are paying their current accounts
in full on due date and an increasing
number are paying larger proportion
of their notes as they fall due, quite
number paying in full. Releases on
old orders show a decided improve
ment. Many Of tho car and truck man
ufacturers are placing orders for new
materials. Virtually. all the car manu-
facturers are now showing signs Of
life, and this applies to the manufac-
turers of trucks and tractors to a
somewhat lesser degree. Quite a num-
ber Of vehicle manufacturers are op
Grating their plants at full time or
nearly so. There is a marked increase
in labor efficiency f6ilowi1sg the re-
adjustment period"

Stocks Advance
Still Further:
Trading Active
Transactions Heaviest i'm
More Than E Weeks as
Rails Show Prominence:
Average at New High

| New speculative energy lifted serur~
| ity prices still higher yesterday. COM
pleting fortnight OF marked recoy-
cry. The Tribune's barometer. based
on fifty typical railroad and industrial
stocks, again revealed average prices
higher than at any time thus far in
1921. Moreover, rail shares. which at
the outset of the present rally wore
quiet and imniobile, yesterday were
the conspicuous leaders In the upturn.
Activity was greater than on any day
since March 23
Spectators, in bidding eagerly for
railroad common stocks, are acting on
the assumption that the Railroad Labor
Roard viii soon hand down its decision
and rescind the last wage increase,
bringing back the pay roll to the level
obtaining prior TO May /, 1920. The
hoard is expected to hand down de-
Icision within q week. This guessing on
the part Of traders received dynamic
power from the announcement by the
United States Steel Corporation Of a
wage reduction of 20 per cent, which is
looked upon as an index of the general
trade in the marketplace for services
Of men. Moreover, on many of the
smaller roads common labor is said
voluntarily to be accepting reductions
Another news factor in the gains
among the rails was the marked i'm
provement in net earnings Of Glass /
railroads in March. A summary re-
veals that though gross earnings re-
mained almost constant q saving OF
almost s20,o0o,o00 In operating ex-
penses resulted in an increase Of s16,-
100000, or f82 per cent, In net, largely
as result Of decreased expenditures
for maintenance.
Qfsetting the influences tending to
make for a reaction in the industrial
shares, the message from the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York to the effect
that the worst of the credit strain had
been passed and that little relaxa-
tion was now possible--Tor that is how
Wall Street interpreted the reduction
of the discount rate on commercial
paper from z to eas per cent--caused
shorts to cover their commitments and
diminished the tendency toward profit
taking. However, toward the close
spectators endeavored to convert paper
gains into real wealth, and there were
some recessions from the highest
points of the day.
Cuts in tire prices by United States
Rubber and Lee Tire induced selling
of motor and accessory shares.
Call funds at the Stock Exchange
were available at 61s per cent and an
easier trend pervaded in the time
money market. In accordance with the
new practice, the Federal Reserve
weekly statements as of Wednesday
night were handed to the press yester-
day. Changes for the week were slight,
although the system continued TO gain
Ia reserves.
In the commodity markets, firmness
prevailed. Cotton prices gained moder-
stely and wheat and corn quotations
rose sharply after their setback the
previous day.
Sterling exchange was steady and
unchanged at the close, but Belgian
and French francs and italian lire
continued their rapid march upward.

pere Marquette Exnlains

Owing to confusion arising from
publication of extracts from the Pere
Marquette Railway annual report for
1920 the company issued statement
yesterday which pointed out that this
was due largely to the fact that during
the first two months of the year the
government was in charge of opera
tions. The Pere Marquette was one of
the few roads that did not accept the
government guarantee for eight Of the
ten months remaining. The combined
report Of corporate and government
operation, it was pointed cut, did not
give correct idea OF the purely cor
porate results. "fhe final outcome"
said the company's statement, twas a
surplus of $1,393,9T3 for the corpora
tion. This was derived from the total
operating revenues of s35,022,T87. Out
Of that amount were taken operating
expenses, amounting to S3o,350, ,542,
leaving net operating revenues of
S4,672,244. Adding incorporating in
come of $1,761,l30 gave a gross income
of $6,433,365. Deducting taxes, hire
of equipment and rentals amounting
to S2,801 100 left balance applicable
to interest OF s3,632,265 Interest re-
quirements totaled $2,23S,292, which
left the surplus of $1,393,9T3 already
mentioned"
New-York tribune., 1921-05-06
Better Bond Market

A broadening bond market yesterday
was attributed in part TO the senti-
mental effects OF the reduction in the
commercial rediscount rate of the Fed
cral Reserve Bank Of New York. while
all forms of bonds did better as q
rule, rnunicipals were especially strong
and dealers reported an active inquiry
for short term Canadian Dominion and
provincial bonds Of short maturities.
So far the volume of new issues, fol-
lowing the Northern Pacihc~Great
Northern joint financing operation, has
not been heavy, fact which the in
vestment bankers hold is q good thing
for the whole market, since it will
give investors time to digest a sub
stantial part of the recent large Of
ferings.

Of J. j. Manning, one OF the best known
traders on the floor of the Stock Ex-

Acceptances in Demand

Acceptances continued in active de-
mand yesterday and one Of the largest
firms dealing in prime bankers bills
had sold out it's entire supply at the
close of business. Two houses in the
Street were buying and selling prime
ninety-day bills at 5% per cent. q
rather surprising development that
was taken to mean in some quarters
a reduction in rates. Acceptance deal
ers who <were asked what effect the
lowering of the Federal Reserve redis-
count rate would have on the market
said "it may make for better feeling,
but it doesn't make any more money"

Big Well for White oi,

The White Oil Corporation has
brought in q well flowing about 1850
barrels an hour on its lease located
about five miles southwest Of the town
of Caddo, Stephens County. Texas. The
we'll, it was announced yesterday. is
also making about 1900 900 feet Of
gas. This company has had FOR some
time past four shallow wells in this
particular lease, all producing from the
shallow sand at about 1000 feet. One
sof these wells was drilled to the deep
sands and at $3.50 feet the big wefI
blew in.

Bad Order Cars Increase

The number OF bad order care on
the railroads April 15 amounted to
289,771, or 1871 per cent Of the total.
This is an increase ever the period be-
fore the recent lsy-offs of shopmen,
when cars in need of repair comprised
per cent of the aggregate number.
Railroad men said yesterday that when
wages and working conditions are read
justed repair work will be resumed
although it is expected that when this
takes place it will be reflected in
lower operating incomes for the roads.
