Sharp Rally
In Last Two
Trading Hours
Burst of Activity After
a Period of Drifting
Prices Causes Upturn
in Rails and Industrials

Although five hours elapsed be-
tween the sounding of the opening and
closing gongs at the New York Stock
Exchange yesterday, the market was
in a sense two-hour session The
significant beginning was made at
about / o'clock, after three hours of
inconclusve drifting of prices.
Suddenly activity expanded rapidly,
and atoms Of speculative energy max
ing for sharply rising prices exploded
on the trading floor. After the stretch
of dllness, the impulses leading to Il
further recovery were dominant, and
they soon began to lift up the whole
array Of prices. Rails and industrials
shared in the upturn, which was a con-
tinuation Of the movement which
started last Thursday, but the indus
trials, which had lost most during the
preceding slump, were the largest
gamers. An outflow of large cover
ing orders lay behind the rally.
Mexican Petroleum, which last week
tumbled to SAY, was at the van of
yesterdays recovering, reaching as
high as 101A and closing at 1909.
There was further relaxation in the
rates on speculative credit. The re-
newal charge was per cent. but later
the rate dropped to Az per cent, for
the first time since the beginning of
this month. Outside call loans were
reported at per cent.
In the international money market
there were no signs of furry as
result Of the falling due of another
German reparation payment of about
s185. 100000 Benefting bv earlier
experience, when the stransfers threw
the capricious foreign exchanges into
fresh spasms, the Germans gradually
accumulated funds to meet the obi
cation. AS result, the foreign ex-
change market remained steady YES
to-day, with firm tone prevailing.
Sterling cables closed at S3.711s. up
IA points.
In the comm odity markets cotton
quotations continued their upward
spurt, but grain prices reacted. With
excitement at the Cotton Exchange
and bubbling activity reported in the
cotton goods market, prices scared to
new high records for the movement
and, despite subsequent reactions on
profit taking, closed with net gains of
So to 81 points. March and the later
deliveries sold above seventeen cents
pound. Wheat and corn prices, on
the other hand, slumped on change
in speculative sentiment. The longs
we're disappointed because on Monday
wheat prices failed to respond to news
OF the big increase in the visible
supply.

Here and Ahrnad

Complaint is heard in Wall Street
these days because the quoted rates
for money in London and other mar
kets abroad are below those here
Critics Of our banking system have
pointed to this to bear out their argu
ments. The American Acceptance Coun-
Gil has taken up the cudgel for the
banking community and calls attention
to the fundamental difference between
the American and foreign discount
markets. Many Of u.s." it says, "are
too ready to assume that because the
London open market discount rate now
happens to be around az per cent
money is much cheaper abroad than
here. But that u per cent rate ap-
Plies only to very special kind Of
money. For the usual commercial &C
comm odations in the form of cash
credit on current advances or over
drafts which constitute probably so
