Rail Shares

On the Market
Trading Broadens and Gains
Are Held as Sterling and
Commodities Advance:
Money Rates Turn Easier

The stock market, the technical posi-
tion of which was improved by the re-
action on Monday and Tuesday, yester-
day reflected the enthusiasm with which
the early public deliberations Of the
conference on the limitation Of arma-
ment have been greeted. An indication
OF che effect Of the acceptance in prin-
ciple Of the Hughes proposals by Great
Britain and Japan was given in sharply
rising security prices, . new high quo.
tation for the year for the pound
sterling and hrmness in the European
exchanges and strength in the com
, modify markets.
In tho stock market, where activity
broadened, the rail shares were the
first to benefit, and gradually specula-
tors took up group after group and
whirled them TO higher price levels.
Standard stocks were conspicuous in
tho upturn, which was general. The
average Of thirty typical industrial
stocks climbed from 7o.s8 to 73.48, and
that OF twenty rails from $40 to e5.1o.
Many securities touched high marks for
the year.
Another condition favorable to the
market was further evidence Of funda-
mental money easing. Cali money st
AZ per cent all day merely caused at
tention to the more basic. changes in
the money market, which have been the
motive force in the recent spectacular
recovery in bond values.
After the market closed the Associa-
tion of Railway Executives contributed
it's mite to the forces making for an
Improvement in business by suggesting
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion voluntarily decrease Of 10 per
cent on freight rates on all farm prod
ucts except those moving into New
England. The force Of the resolution
is partially weakened by the fact that
the 10 per cent Is to include all indi-
vidual reductions that have been made
since the present rate schedule became
effective August 81, 1920.

changes was in q measure attributable
to the tendency Of the developments of
the armament conference to clear the
air Of international politics. II the cost
OF preparing for war is reduced, all
governments, directly and Indirectly,
will receive financial relief, which will
help their credit, and this sentimental
view has proved helpful to the ex-
changes.
Cotton continued TO gain moderately
on favorable trade news and wheat

Sealing Down ArIotments

Not until tomorrow will J. P. Nor
gan & Co., the syndicate managers, be
able to arrive at basis of allotment
on subscriptions to The new $4,000, 900
New York Telephone Company per
cent bond offering. Clerks in the syn
dictate department of the banking
house have been working night and
day compiling the figures in connec-
tion with the flood of applications that
poured in. 1--WE hoped to have figures
ready Thursday" said one of the bank
ers yesterday, "but it has been impos-
sible to do so because Of the huge vol
ume Of subscriptions" There is a
chance that the syndicate managers
will be unable to allot the $1,000 appli-
cations in full, which would be unprec-
edented. One unofficial estimate indi-
Gated yesterday that subscriptions for
$500,000 or more Of the bonds would
be allotted per cent. those for $780,
900 to $500000 10 per cent; those for
$4,000 to 100000 20 per cent, those
for $4,000 to $4,000 per cent and
those from $4,000 down to 1000 go
per cent. The bonds sold at the Ex-
change above SO yesterday.

Pool in United Drug?

United Drugs advance yesterday to
above II was attributed in some quar-
ters to increased confidence in the out
look for the company as the result of
Louis X. Liggett's announcement that
he had been able to discharge trustees
appointed to look after his interests
last July. Rumors persisted, however,
that a pool" with strong financial
backing was behind the movement and
had set figure not far short of the
high level of the year at which it
aimed. This suggestion was first heard
in the Street about two weeks ago,
when it was asserted that interests
formerly associated with the Riker-
Hegeman combination had joined forces
to back Drug, and since that time the
stock has enjoyed persistent rise.
There is still great scarcity of stock
in the market for loaning purposes. and
It is generally assumed that many trad
ers who sold for decline failed to
take their profits when the stocl.
dropped to As on the passing of the
common dividend in September, and
still have failed to cover their commit
ments. Until this short interest has
been eliminated observers feel that the
stock will not lack for support.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-17
Next Move in Rails?

Traders who watch put and call quo
ment on future market prices pro-
fessed to be much impressed by quota
tions on railroad stocks given by deal
ers in privileges. These brokers are
asking more points away from the mar
ket in rail shares than in most other
groups. For instance, Great Northern
preferred was quoted yesterday for
thirty-day calls at points up from
the market, while puts were only g
points down. Other prominent lead
ers were in the same ratio, indicating
to many that these shrewd observers
we're more inclined to expect an ad-
vance than decline in railroad securi-

Sterling at New High

Strength of sterling exchange yes
terday which carried cable rates on
London to Iew high for the year at
$4.00#, surprising the best figure Of
Nay 10, was attributed not so much TO
fhe favorable disarmament negotis-
tions as to the continued small pur-
chases for British account in American
markets. Commitments, usually large
at this season Of the year, have been
exceedingly small this autumn, and
consequently demand for dollars in
London has been less than normal, with
the result that sterling rates have
moved steadily upward from below
$3.T0 in the last three months.

Corn Products

The rise in Corn Products Ref1iuq
stock TO 90 yesterday, establishing q
new high for The year, gave rise 10 re-
ports that the directors might ia-
crease the dividend disbursement bc-
cause OF good earnings. Fer the Fivc
years beginning with 1876 and ending
1920 the company earned So per cent
on its conon stock after paying pre-
terred dividends. Earnings for the
first nine months of the current year
showed ~ per cent on the common.
The total distribution on the common
stock since the initial disbursement in

Alcohol Dividend Action To-day

Directors Of United States Industrial
Alcohol meet to-day to act on the reg

continuing the 81 quarterly payments.
1t will be recalled that three months
ago when weakness developed there
were rumors that the dividend would
be passed, but instead the directors cut
the disbursement from So to 81. II is
now insisted that this payment will be
eliminated. On the other hand there
is said to be considerable hope that
the rate will not be changed
