Some Gains i'm the Indus.
trial Shares; Rail Securi-
ties Are Bought Eagerly

For the second successive day there
vas evidence in the Auctuation of the
prices of speculative securities that
the mild reaction which began last
week had spent its force After Tues
days moderate recovery. quotations
yesterday surged higher again, and the
volume of activity, which had con-
tracted, once more began to expand.
The price gains were retained
through the session, although realiz-
ing sales toward the close reduced
some Of the advances Of industrial
stocks. Buying Of railroad shares was
especially eager throughout the ses-
sion, as result Of the marked i'm
provcment in net earnings revealed in
the reports of earnings and expenses
Of most Of the roads during the month
Of February. Some Of the standard
railroad issues climbed to the highest
levels thus far quoted in 1922. The ap-
proach of the time for the coal strike
was no deterrent in the purchase even
of shares of roads which have vital
stake in the coal industry.
The weekly trade reviews of the
steel industry served to confirm recent
informal comment regarding progress
sive improvement. The squirt in the
trade ig one Of the outstanding cur
rent developments in business. and Ia
a factor OF great influence in the cal
cuations Of security buyers. The

ket to the selling pressure Of the last
ten days has been the widespread feel
| ing that, however painful and slow the
process, business is on the up grade and
/ the worst Of denation and readjust-
ment is over. Because of this attitude
there has been a reluctance both to go
short for q protracted period and to
throw shares overheard. On the other
hand, there has been a disposition to
1e-examine the prospects Of improve
ment in the light of the upturn in Sc
curity prices since last August to as
certain whether further gains ought to
be discounted
Cotton prices shaded off slightly and
grain quotations turned lower. The
European exchanges were irregular.
Sterling and francs had q moderately
easier tone.

The Equipment stocks

Increasing volume of orders be ng
received by the car building and loco
m otivc concerns furnishes one Of tof
tangible reasons for the continued
strength of their shares. According TO
the steel trade publications for the
week, the New York Central needs
$4,000 cars. and inquiries from the
Pennsylvania, the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey the Southern Pacific and
Louisville g. Nashville make a total Of
Al 900 cars in prospect Since the
frst of tho year it is estimated that
about $4,000 freight cars have been
ordered in this country. or at an an
nual rate Of about $4,000 cars. This
compares with only 1858 cars ordered
in all of 1921, including 23,346 for DO
mestic service. Even with the heay-
ier volume Of contracts rolling in. Off
cials Of leading equipment companies
predict a serious car shortage this fell
when the crops begin to move.

Germany's Stand on Rcparations

Germany's rejection of the condi-
tional reparations delay offered by the
Allies and the exposition of the rea-
sons therefor by Chancellor Wirth in
the Reichstag were interpreted yester-
day by international bankers as de-
signed largely for the purpose of fore
ing discussion of the reparations
problem at the Genoa conference The
question Of governmental debts is felt
to be the crux of Europc's troubles, and
while lack of American participation
will make final adjustment impos-
sible some benefit would be anticipated
here for injection Of the reparations
terms into the agenda of the Genoa
meeting.

Although the general tone Of the

flrmness, few specialties pursued an
erratic course. Among these was Mar

thin market when selling orders APP
peared. After selling as high as 22Ss
the stock broke in the early afternoon
to 15, some of the spreads being more
than a point between sales. This issue
was recently run up to above 26 on the
announcement that the company had
settled its tax dispute with the govern
ment. Pursuing an opposite trend Otis
Elevator shot up to 142s4 before the
close, a net rise of 4 4 points.

Mail Order Business Less

Operations for the rise in Seara-Roc-
buck received jolt yesterday By the
announcement from Chicago that March
sales of the mail order houses win
show up poorly. The point was made.
however, that a comparison with a year
ago is affected by the fact that Easter
this year comes twenty days later than
last. Easter, it was stated. has a much
greater effect on business than gener-
ally supposed. The mail order trade
has been improved by the advance in
prices for agricultural products. but
the farmers are still buying sparinglv

averaged only about 81, contrasted with
