"Why do you turn out for every

Who died maintaining his right of way
He was right, dead right, as he sped

But he's lust as dead as if he'd been

Easter Date and Trade
Many Watching Move for Sta
biliyafion

Manufacturers, wholesalers and re-
tailers of apparel, millinery and shoes,
are watching with keen interest the
progress of movement designed to
establish permanent date for Easter,
instead of the movable date as at
The value of definite date for the
spring festival, which marks the begin
ming of the season in articles of per-
sonal adornment is obvious. This year
the trades suffered from short spring
season by virtue of an early Easter,
and delayed buying in anticipation of
the season on account of the instability
in prices. The spring selling season
before Easter was too short for the
satisfaction of the trades people. A
bill has been introduced in the Brit
ish House of Lords to set Easter on
the second Sunday in April.
So far the trades people have re-
Trained from open discussion of the
movement, realizing that statements
IN favor of permanent date would
result in adverse criticism from some
quarters on the basis of selfishness.

Stock Exchange Listings
Set High Record i'm 1920

All records of the New York Stock
Exchange were broken in 1890 in the
aggregate of new security listings, a
compilation issued yesterday by The
Commercial and Financial Chronicle
placing the total of new stocks admit
ted TO dealings on the exchange at
S2.044 ,400,673, compared with $1,015,-
927,517 in 1919, and exceeded by $780,
100000 the previous high record of
1901, when the capital sotck of the
United States Steel Corporation was
listed. No less than $1,131, ,237,9i6 of
the stock of miscellaneous companies
added TO the list last year represented
new capital.
Special note is made in the compila-
tion of the large amount of oil COM
psny stocks listed in 1920, the entire
absence of new securities of public
utility companies, the complete lack of
railroad recrganizations and consolida-
tions and the further widening OF the
New York market for foreign securi-
ties.
The table of note issues not listed on
the exchange shows large increase
over the figures reported in 1919, the
total for the year amounting to $751;
810,040. compared with $524,763, 500 in
1919 and $615,5s3, 300 in 1918. Railroad
bonds listed on the exchange in 1920
aggregated s233,816,550, compared with
S295, 600 900 in 1919.

Drop in Motor
Shares Affects
Rest of List
Selling in This Group
Based ON Belief That
Readjustment Must Go
Further; Rails Firm

When leading unit of the General
Motors Corporation announced yester-
day reduction IN prices, marking the
tirst change in tho company's sales
policy since deAat;on upset the indus
try, Wall Street had reminder yesteR
day that the process Of readjustment is
still vigorously carrying on. The
news OF the cut by the Chevrolet Conn
pany was by fas the most Important
marketwiss development of the two
hour trading session, and 1T caused
heavy selling in the motor share list
resulting in general declines. The rest
of the market WAS naturally affected
by the unsettlemaut Of the motors and
the closing was extremely irregular
Profit taking was heasy as the week
closed and professional operators seized
the opportunity to increase the pres
sure Of short sales,
Thirty representative industrial
stocks closed in the average at 1880
yesterday, compared with Ta.o3 on Fri
day and 1913, the peak of the move
ment, reached on Thursday. The
weeks operations netted q gain of a
full point for the industrials. Rails
closed at a new high of 64.S0, continu-
ing the progressive Improvement that
has been under way for several days.
The better tone in the rails is believed
90 foxeshadow an early decision with
regard TO railway wages, which is gem
orally expected to come this week.
With the motor and motor asces-
sorry companies reducing prices, pre-
dictions made early in the year that
q further downward revision of quo
tations would have to be made In the
spring are beginning to come true. The
tailed operations drastically last fall.
Early this year, as the demand for
their products began to increase, oper-
ations were speeded up and point
has been reached where way must
be found to stimulate sales to absorb
the present volume of output. Ap-
parently the view of the General Mo-
tors management is that the best way
to accomplish what they are seeking
is to make more attractive offer to
prospective purchasers. The recent re-
scale of wages of labor are factors
which make it possible for the motor
manufacturers TO produce more cheaply
and so enable them to sell on lower
basis.
Stock of the General Motors Cor
poration, which is the holding COM
pany for Chevrolet, dropped u to 10
yesterday on dealings of approximate
ly 10000 shares, making it the most
active issue on the list. Studebaker
declined 2, Chandler 1ss, pierce-Arrow
III and Stewart-Warner Ia. Of the
miscellaneous issues United States
Realty and Improvement made new
high on buying based upon expeeta-
tions of an early declaration of an
initial dividend.
In the foreign exchanges sterling
rates continued their recovery and
London sight drafts at $3.ss sold at
the highest level in more than a year
Francs were strong until the close,
when they eased off slightly, Rates
moved against Japan again. Argentine
exchanges made new low. Wheat
prices Sreacted sharply, the market
showing a pronounced reversal in form
over night
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08
Motor Shares Not So Buoyant

The action taken by the General
Motors Corporations in reducing the
price OF Chevrolet cars, coupled with
the publication of the Pieree-Arrow re-
port for the March quarter, gave the
bulls on the motor stocks somewhat of
a shock yesterday and the buying en-
tEusiasim. so noticeable in recent days,
was checked. Studebaker was the
weakest Of this group, closing off 2
points at s6M, while Pierce-Arrow was
down 10 points at as. With the down
ward tendency shown by the motor
shares more talk was heard in the
Street that earnings for the last half
OF 1921 will probably be considerably
less than the first six months because
OF the belief that buyers will have
filled their wants in the latter period.
E.. W. Heading, of the Haynes Automo-
bile Company, writes The Tribune,
however, of tremendous demand for
cars at the present time, which, in his
opinion, shows conclusively that busi-
ness is on che upgrade.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08
The Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

Changes were small in the foreign
exchange market yesterday, although
demand sterling at S3.9S reached new
nigh level in more than year. At
this figure the rates showed a net ad
vance for the day of 5s cent.
French and Belgian francs reacted
slightly, but Dutch currency continued,
upward, the guilder selling above S5h
cents. Changes were irregular and
small in other parts of the European
group.
The Argentine peso slumped to
new low price for the movement, quo
tations on the paper basis dropping be-
low 80 cents. The Brazilian milreis
also was lower, but the Chilean peso
advanced slightly.
Fractional declines in rates on India
and Japen marked trading in the Far
Eastern group.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money or cur
rent exchange values-that is, if you
were buying dollar with pounds,
marks or francs--its value at the close
of last week, compared with year age,
