months of this year will be made pub

all agree that the Ia per cent. divi-

Corporation was able 10 do business for
a great part OF the quarter on last

Consequently there Is little likelihood, in
the opinion of Wall Street, of an i'm

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Stock Market Increases i'm Ac,
tivity and Shows Broad
Strength.

For the broad strength and much in
needed to search for explanations mainly
within the market itself The sharp ad-
vance OF Studebaker and several of the
oil share group on Thursday, comprising
issues. In chief part. IN which substan-
tial short accounts were known to exist
was a distinct threat TO spectators who
had sold other volatile stocks with the
expectation OF buying them back at
lower prices. In addition to heavy COW
ering of short contracts there was yes
,erday a natural increase OF speculative
purchases for the rise, and of the sort
that are always attracted when the mar
ket shows indications of moving forward
after a long period OF depression. The
product OF that conjunction Of buying
orders was seen most plainly among
industrial shares. although there was an
excellent response to the market ten
dency among the rails. Net gains ex-
tended from to moro than 5 points
among the more active stocks, and the
greatest strength was displayed near the
end OF the day. Call money advanced
from TO 6h per cent In the afternoon.
The forward swing was accompanied
by no new developments of favorable
import In industry or transportation.
Perhaps the signs in Berlin of an
awakening realization of the Allies pur-
pose to carry reparattons demands

tive influence. although the foreign ex-
change market would supply a better
place to see a reflection of this than
would the stock market. As 1t hap

Thursdays decline. The exchanges
were practically the same in their casual
fluctuations as during nearly every pre-
ceding session since Germany turned a
stubborn front against the allied de-
mands In view OF the steady inflow of
gold--a single shipment of $S.000,000
from the Far East arrived yesterday
the question is worth considering
whether the exchanges have been pre-
vented from receding by that influence
in the last six weeks. If imports had
been negligible there might have been
room for freer play OF sentiment in re-
spect to the European political situation.
The most important economic factor
in this weeks stock market evidently
came from belief among traders that the
business depression. as affecting certain
industries has seen its worst phases.
This applied most directly to the motor
car and petroleum trades, which are
rather closely allied. Tho alliance Of
kindred stocks In the upturn went fur

underlying business structure.

General Asphalt.

The leader OF yesterdays market
through most of the session was easily
General Asphalt, which advanced to a
new high on the move Of 69%. or within
two points of its previous high for the
year. profit taking resulted in decline
from that figure to below IS. but In the
last few minutes of trading it was again
bid up, closing at 6S%, a net gain OF
more than f1ve points on the day. The
move in Asphalt was partly the result of
the insistent report that the Standard Oil
Company was dickering for working
agreement with the asphalt company
and partly to advance information ef
what the latter's annual report, due to-
day. would show. That report, 1t was
said would show earnings OF about ST.
100000, which are about the same as
those of the preceding year. 1t will show
also property values of approximately

During the last six months we have re-

and have $7.000.000 cash on hand. We
have cut s4,000.0 900 from overhead ex-
penses, which means a saving of about
$40 q car on 100000 cars. Administra-
tive expenses have been cut to the bone.
This Is based on the normal production.
The saving now. of course. is even
larger. But these expenses never will
go back
WHY'S said that there would be no

A Better Feeling.

The net result of yesterdays improved
market was a decidedly better feeling in
the financial district generally. Commits
sion houses reported a marked improve
ment in business and interest In the mar
ket from outside also was reported as
much more noticeable. The consensus of
opinion respecting the future course OF
the market appeared to be that all de-
pended on the markets ability to sustain
itself for few days. at the same time
broadening out to some extent. With
such a development, 1t was argued, pub
lie buying of stocks probably would take
up the burden of putting the market
higher from where short coverings fur
