FINANCIAL AND TRADE SUMMARY
Stock Market Improves.

THE STOCK MARKET continued the OuIIlsi
l tone noted a week ago. The total sales were
u approxmaely the for the two weeks. On
three DAYS Of the past week sales exceeded the mill
ion share mark Prices advanced notably, twenty rails
closing at 1899 against y SO last week. Twenty in
dustrials rose above 80 for the first time in many
weeks
The increased activity and higher prices were
caused to some by the decrease in Federal Re
serve discount and the expected easier money
conditions.
The most interesting feature of the week was the
strength shown by railroad shares This is generally
attributed to the expected favorable report from the
Railroad Labor Board, although the marked improve
ment in net operating revenue for March probably
had much to do with it.
All steel stocks advanced the announcement OF
the wage cut. U. S. Steel common sold at IS. regis
tering a new high for the year Bethlehem, Crucible,
Republic and other independents all showed marked
gains
During the early part of the week Mexican Petro-
Ieum showed decided break but rallies later espe-
cialy after the announcement OF the purchase OF
100000 barrel we'll Tire and motor stocks declined
after the announcement of price cuts The passing OF
the American Cotton Oil dividend caused but little
reaction in the stock of this old line company.
The bond market remained firm and active.
Sales totaled nearly $66oooooo with gains in both
Liberties and other issues. Prices closed about point
higher than week ago. 1t Is believed that the low
ering OF the discount will materially help to sus-
tain the bond market There has been an active
movement in foreign government and municipal bonds
with notable price increases.

600 tons greater than year ago The actual figures
for the nine months ending March, 1921 were 4,Io7oo
gross compared to 3oo3747 tons in the corre-
spending period last year The greatest declines
Cured in steel bars, rods. billcts and pig iron.
Imports OF iron and steel increased over Febru-
airy. the figures being s323 tons and 4446 tons last
