Yesterday. this morning showed re.
rnperative powers Of varying degree.
General Motors, in which more than
fifty thousand shares were traded In
yesterday. was in good demand this
morning and quickly rose from its
opening Of 1875 to 14is. It was said
that the present liquidation in this
issue had at last run its present course.
Royal Dutch and Mexican Petroleum.
which have suffered the brunt of the at.
tack on the oils. were each up about
points. These we're all natural
reactions and possessed no unusual
| significance.
The failure Of the House to pass the
Wins'ow hill Yesterday. which permits
partial payments to the railroads. did
not exert any particular influence on
the rails today. This might be explained
by the fact that Washington dispatches
! stated that the bill would come up In
the House again today under a rule
giving II right NJ way.
Much interest was attached to trad.
ing in Southern Pacific which today
sold rx rights. The stock closed yes.
t"rday at 971s and opened this morning
at 7sN. tho rights sold around lSh.
Pacific OIL was unchanged. The
| rails generally shared In the general lac.
situdc Of the market.
Th,re was no fresh news to explain
these advances. but conditions regard
| ing the German reparation question,
and particularly the final stand that
France will take in the matter. are 80
much matter OF conjecture that the
situation naturally lends itself to specu :
lation in foreign exchange. Undoubtedly
this is now the controlling influence In
that market.
! Close TO $3.50. 200. 900 new financing
is expected TO come into the market this
week and until this is consummated
there seems little likelihood Of money
