Impetus Derived From Spec.
ulation in Steel Securi.
ties: Other Issues Are
Not Neglected, However

Stock prices moved buoyantly ts
higher levels yesterday in broadening
market under the impetus given specu-
lation for the rise by announcement of
the merger % the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and the Lackawanra Steel
Company. The Importance attached To
this development was measured by the
advance of the steel stocks as a sroup
out of all proportions to the rest OF
the market, Lackawanna. opening from
to points Up and closing with a
net gain of more than II points, be-
ing the leader as reports gained cur
rency of favorable basis Of exchange
IN concentrating the nsolidation.
Attention of the professional element
and the public alike was conferred on
the steel shares, but other issues were
not neglected and the market at the
close had recovered on the average al
most point of the loss on the weeks
reaction.
Effectiveness Of the merger an
noancement as q market factor was
dependent upon two considerations;
the total absence of preliminary news,
emphasizing the surprise element, and
the fact that the decline had adjusted
internal conditions in the market to a
degree that resumption Of the rise was
in order. Merger forecasts, relating
to steel. copper and sugar companies,
in particular, have been among the ma
terial found most useful in advancing
stocks since the rise started last
autumn. Completion Of one major
consolidation gave added force to these
prospects yesterday and talk Of half
dozen amalgamations figured
prominently in influencing the action
of the more buoyant stocks.
Bonds gave a slightly better &C.
count Of thems selves, the uncertain
tone being succeeded, in the case of
silt-edged issues, especially by evil
dence Of firmness. Of special inter-
est in this division was the ABSORPTION
by investors Of an additional $4,000
600 Federal Land Bank AZ per cent
bonds, the total representing roughly
tho oversubscription to the issue
brought out last Monday. Easier
money, reflected in a call loan rate Of
3 per cent, was as helpful to investment
as to speculative securities.
Other markets registered little that
could be regarded as significant. The
foreign exchanges sagged throughout,
but losses were unimportant. The un-
favorable evolution Of the Russian
negotiations at Genoa was to Q GER
tain extent counterbalanced by Brit
lsh determination to continue the con-
ference at Genoa for settlement of
ether matters. In point of activity,
the market has lately reverted to vir-
tually pre-war basis. Fluctuations
are largely determined from London.
Wheat settled down to normalcy
after the sensational price advance Of
Thursday and on quieter trading quo
tations revealed net changes of only
Il to Is cent, representing the slight
losses scored in a reaction from TIE
continued advance. Cotton was irregu.
lar and subject to conflicting move
ments, closing prices being 10 points
lower to I point higher.
