Stocks Retain
Gains Despite
Profit Taking
Buying of Railroad Securi-
ties Is Especially Avid:
Great Northern Report
Serves as all Impetus

Spectators in quest of 4 further
rise in stock prices proceeded cautious
ly yesterday, yet gained further ground.
The main obstacle to their efforts con-
sisted of fairly heavy proft-taking
sales, especially in the afternoon. Al
though final prices were in frequent
instances lower than the highest for
the day, both railroad and industrial
shares on the average retained net
gains for the day.
Buying of railroad securities was
again especially avid Like the pur-
chase of industrial shares, this specu-
lation is predicated on the theory that
business will improve, rather than on
the betterment already accomplished.
New stimulus was given to the specula
tive tendency by the publication of the
preliminary income account for 1921
OF the Great Northern. The company
earned last year S11.4f a share, and
although the bald statement seems
more favorable than traders antci-
psted, 1t must be remembered that the
dends from its stock holdings in Bur
lington OF SIT sos ,020 over its receipts
for the previous year. Tho earnings Of
both Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, which jointly control the Bur
lington, are In part reflection of the
strength of the Burlington property
The budget of news flowing from the
field Of industry is not conspicuously
studded with material capable Of fur
nishing immediate bull arguments
However, those who are believers in
higher quotations are ignoring present
facts in favor of their opinion of pos
sible future developments. Thus the
untitled tonnage figures of the United
States Steel Corporation, published
yesterday and measuring the state of
activity of the basic industry, revealed
no striking improvement. On the con-
trary, there was a decrease Of 100, 500
tons in untitled orders. Market opera
tors anticipated a report Of this char
acter, and Steel common gained Is of
& point net, instead of rcacting.
Despite unsettlemcut in price move
lnent there was clearly frmer tone
IN the wheat market yesterday, after
the terrific slump on Thursday. The
partial recovery was FASTENED by for
eign buying, which the decline evil
dently induced. At the close prices
we're up to ! cent a bushel higher. Cot
ton quotations gained from 10 to 12
points, and the foreign exchanges were
irregular.
Call money opened at 4 per cent and
closed at 31s per cent, the lowest rate
since january 16.

American International

The annual report of the American
international Corporation scheduled for
publication shortly is expected to show
small balance after charges. all
though the parent company's net earn
lngs are understood to have been
almost entirely offset by losses Of sub
sidary concerns. The report, it was
said yesterday, viii show that about
$8,O00,O00 has been written off accounts
receivable, inventories, and other
assets. and charged to surplus account,
leaving at the end OF the year a deficit
in that account OF about $4,000 900.
The company's securities arc still car
ricd at cost, although it is stated that
the current market depreciation is
equivalent to about $1o,0o0.00O 1t is
understood that at the close Of the
year the trading companies were gen
orally operating on q profitable basis

White Motor Regular Dividend

Any doubts as to tnc maintenance
Of the White Motor dividend rate were
set at rest yesterday by the regular
quarterly declaration Of 81 a share.
Following the meeting of directors w.
T. White, president, said that the out
look for business this year was de-
cidedly favorable and that orders have
shown marked increase since last
October. "lnventories are reduced to
practically normal. selling expenses
arc commensurate with current busi-
ness and plant and manufacturing
organization are in the best condition
they have ever been in" he added.
Notwithstanding losses for 1921, due
to inventory adjustments and to the
general business depression, the pres
ont situation affords sound reason to
believe that earnings for 1922 will
exceed dividend reduirements.o

The delay IN the appearance Of the

learned IN an authoritative quarter
yesterday, is not due to unwillincnes So
on the part of bankers to handle the
business. but to indecision in the coun-
clls of the company in formulating A
plan. At least two propositions have
been submitted By bankers that have
come TO naught because they were un-
acceptable to the company. The Wow
obtains in tho financial district that
the company before long will finance
