Everything is new at the Ramona today-the entire musical comedy com pany is all new-today opening the en- gagement of the Miller and Wakefield company, bringing in all new people, new costumes, new scenery, new light ing effects, new shows. It will be the policy of the new company to offer a particularly high grade line of snappy musical comedy, interspersing the ac- tion by the newest of song numbers. The new organization boasts of an exceptionally talented chorus, whose song and dance numbers are bound to find instant favor with Phoenix audi ences.

Traders Fix Attention OF,
Technical Position and
Decide Rally Had Gone
Far Enough; ExchangeUp

In the absence of news devel elopments
of significant character during trad
ing hours, spectators in, securities
fixed their attention on factors arising
from the technique Of the marketplace.
The point of view which struggled for
expression on the previous day became
vocal yesterday, and toward the close
Of the market the idea that the rally
had gone far enough resulted in check
| ing the rise and causing marked irresu-
larity.
By the end Of last week the market
reached i stage where professional
Wall Street wondered whether the
movement had not gone far enough
without a setback. Traders attempted
to break the market through raid on
Mexican Petroleum on Monday, but
favorable news developments caused
sharp recovery in that stock and the
upward surge in the market continued
further. The upturn persisted yester-
day morning, but in the afternoon an
abundance Of proft-taking tended to
Offset the impulses for further spurt.
Then, too, an influential group of
traders seemed definitely to be playing
for reaction, largely on the basis of
the weakened technical position of the
market.
Viewed as an episode in the gen.
eral financial readjustment, yesterdays

ments do not continue without inter-
ruption in one direction. In a rise
there are influences making eventually
for reaction alwaya.
The specific development which gave
traders q pretext for selling stocks
was the passing Of the dividend on

After the market closed the Steel
CORPORATION announced cut of wages
of 20 per cent. It was the second time
| in the history Of the corporation that

was long expected, and the proximity
of the announcement was discounted
in the strength of Steel common yes
| terday. Measured in purely business
terms, the decision Of the directors to
recognize the reality of defiation is
bullish. It is more important step in
the march toward new normal in
finance and trade.
Ordinarily the reduction Of the wage
Of working folk would be received with
mingled emotions. but this time the
business community is likely to ap-
prove with unanimity. The action in

receded 40 per cent. even though some
charges in the family budget. such as

like, are still at the peak. In dollars.
the average wage is still double the

that the cut was inevitable. and the
consummation Of the inevitable is

Improving Acceptance Market

Three important changes in the rules
and regulations designed to improve
the acceptance market are advocated
by the American Acceptance Council
in its current bulletin. These are the
abolition Of the Office Of Comptroller
OF the Currency, and thus do away with
dual supervision Of the banks, careful
inspection by competent examiners of
contracts under which acceptance
credits are granted, so that the eligi-
bility Of the bills may be determined
before rather than after they are Of
fered for sale or rediscount to the
Federal Reserve banks, and simplifica-
tion OF Reserve Board rulings and mar
ket quotations. On the subject of
market rates the bulletin says: eve
have quite number of quotations for
eligible bank bills and eligible non
member bank bills. Instead of these
"tifty-seven varieties" it should be our
aim to have one quotation for prime
eligible bills carrying at least three
signatures. Unindorsed paper and
paper which is not considered abso-
iutely prime would command a some
what less favorable rate; but the rul-
ing rate should be that for prime in
dorsed eligible bankers acceptances. :"
