resume the upward movement until
money rates had come further down.
This expectation has been fully borne
out by the course of the bond market
in the last six business days. There is
no let-up in the investment demand,

output of new securities has there
been more eager subscription than

looks will await the initiative Of the
Federal Reserve Board. When the CEN

Until this happens it is unlikely that

AS rule professional sentiment has
been either skeptical of the stock ma rket
or openly bearish and it has been quite
as wrong this week as it has been ever
since the middle of December. The
market has back OF it now the assur-
ance Of an abundant money supply for
the first time since the summer Of 1919
This is something which the trading
element have moderated. Moreover
they have not appreciated the fact that
no market ever waits for a forward
movement in trade to start before
acting.
All it wants to know is that the worst
OF the business depression is over and
that recovery is not far away 1t be-
lieves that it can feel reasonably sure

only, will be brought here by water.
II trial shipment now being made
proves successful. Two thousand
boxes OF oranges and lemons are now
en- route to this city aboard the
steamer Charles R. Cramp, of the
Atlantic. Gulf and Pacific Steamship
Company. the vessel which broke the
sailing record between Baltimore and
Los Angeles. making the trip in a
trife more than sixteen days.
Fruit growers and shippers of Cali
1ornia are watching with interest the
result of this trial shipment, made to
ascertain whether this class of freight
could not be made as quickly by water
as by rail. The Charles r. Cramp is
expected to dock here within the next
few days. her master pushing the big
oil-burner at top speed in an effort to
lower his previous record.
1t is estimated that the freight on
this class of shipments from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast is between
100000 and $4,000, 900 annually.
Shipping men say that 20 per cent of
this cost can be saved by Shipping
California fruits to the eastern sea-
board by water, and claim that prac-
tically the same time can be made
as the railroads are now making in

have at length begun to tell. and the
account of conditions in steel given in
the weekly reviews in the trade
journals was the most encouraging
in a long while.
While the steel companies will have
n poor first quarter and quite likely
a slim second quarter for the current
year. the 1920 reports of the Steel Cor
poration and the Bethlehem Steel
have shown what an enormous re-
up temporary deficit. and 1t is the
average of years, rather than OF
months. which is the proper criterion
for the value of steel stocks.
Another thing which has helped the
stock market is the discovery in
some of the annual reports which
have been published, or of which
that the slump of last autumn was by
no means general, and that numerous
companies got through with excellent
