Exchange to Close Good Friday

Following their yearly custom of OBJ
serving the Easter holiday, the gov
ernors of the Stock Exchange have
voted to close the exchange on Good
Friday, April Ia. There was some
sentiment in favor of closing the fol-
lowing day, giving the brokers three
day holiday, but this was not sufficient
to outweigh the views of the majority.

needed for per cent return earned
by all the Class roads
The striking Improvement revealed
in tho earnings accounted for the
larger share of interest that the rails

was again avid buying of the standard

Studebaker Moves Ip

The buying in Studebaker Yesterday
which carried the price up to the high
est level in two years, indicated the
existence of substantial short inter
est, despite the fact that there has
been little reaction to the upward
movement from the eighties. When
Studebaker crossed par interests be-
lieved to have been largely responsible
for the rise to that level were under
stood to have sold out in the oXpecta-
ton that they would be able to repur-
chase their holdings around 90. The
lowest the stock got was in the neigh
borhood of 96 since when there has
been no setback of importance. Yes
terday's low price was 1922 and the
top for the day, reached just before the
close, was HE. The buying was in the
largest volume after the stock crossed
40, suggesting that possibly some big
stop-loss orders by short sellers had
been "touched off"

Czech Loan in London

Completion of arrangements for a
f10,000,000 loan to the Czecho-Siova-
khan government was reported from
London yesterday with tho suggestion
that part of the issue would be foated
in this market. The advices stated
that the loan was to run for twenty
five years and bear an per cent cou-
pom. The reported offering price Of 95
was questioned by bankers here. No
information was available locally as to
the extent of American participation
in the business, which apparently de-
pends upon agreement upon details of
the loan. Investment circles are in
clined to regard Czecho-S -Slovakian
credit as relatively high. the point be-
ing made yesterday that Czecho-
Slovakia broke away from the old
Austro-Hungarian Empire before the
collapse and that she signed the peace
treaties as an Ally.

New Haven's Extension Plan

great deal Of interest is felt in the
financial district as to whether the plan
for extending the New York, New
Haven & Hartford's so-called Euro
pcan loan of 1907 Will be declared op-
erative tomorrow, the date of the ma :
turity 1t has been officially intimated
that this would not be done unless the
response of holders to the project was
almost 100 per cent favorable. In view
of the short time between the sending
out of notices and the maturity and the
wide distribution of the franc deben-
lures, agreement by holders represent
ing rs per cent of the total outstand-
ing issue would be regarded as a re
markable showing by tomorrow.
Whether this proportion will be cx-
cecded is still uncertain, the actual
figures on deposits being closely
guarded.

Equipments Strong Again

With the exception of Studebaker
speculative activity yesterday was cen
tered mostly in the equipment issues,
Baldwin establishing a new high for
the year. In fact, Baldwin and Stude-
baker several times appeared on the
tape at identical prices. the latter forg
ing ahead slightly at the close. There
were no new developments during the
day to explain the great strength in
the equipment stocks except the facts
already emphasized regarding the CON
tinuing Improvement in the industry.
There was talk of renewal of pool
operations, which disconnected those
who thought the advance of recent
market sessions had gone far enough
for the present.

Fewer U. S. Steel Shareholders

The impulse of stockholders to sell out
on rising market is reflected in the
latest list Of the United States Steel
Corporation, which at the date of the
closing of the books for the March
dividend showed a total of 1O6,811
shareholders, compared with 1O7 ,439
three months previously, or decline
Of 628. The decrease in the last quar-
ter was the first reported since the
third quarter of 1919. In September
of that year the number was 73.456.
While holders of the common stock
diminished in number, there was an
increase in the preferred stockholders
list to 1885, compared with 81 ,621
last November and S1,740 in August
The average holding of the common,
based on the latest figures, is about
4712 shares

In Wall Street
Rails TO the Front

Activity in the railroad list yesterday
was not considered surprising in view
of the continued appearance Of favor
able earnings reports for February
The indicqtions now are that the
months ratio of the per cent return
intended under The transportation act
will be exceeded. The forecast is now
being made that the March returns
win be even more favorable than those
for February, recent estimates indicat-
ing that the granger roads viii make
an especially favorable exhibit. OF
course, should the coal strike extend
over longer period than expected
future income estimates may undergo
some drastic revisions, but the finan-
cial district continues to ignore the
threatened tie-up as grave menace to
industry.

Liberty Bonds and the Banks

Banks are tending to increase their
holdings of Liberty bonds and other
government securities. not merely as an
aid to their reserves, but because these
issues offer safe and profitable en-
ploymont for surplus funds This is
believed to account in part for the
smaller floating supply of Libertys re-
ported by dealers. The increase in the
holdings of the banks themselves is
being accompanied by reduction of
their loans against these bonds. AS
prices have advanced, customers have
been disposing of their holdings and
paying off the loans which they secured
This practice is believed to result not
from the forced selling of a few
months ago, but from the fact that the
investor sees a profit on the deal.

Reading Case Up April 10

The strength in Reading yesterday
was connected with the fact that the
segregation case will come up for re
argument on April 10. Judging from
the manner in which the common stock
moved up while the first and second
preferred issues remained practically
stationary, speculative opinion seems to
be that the common stockholders have
an excellent chance Of winning out in
their fight to be the sole benefciaries
in the proposed distribution Of the
company's coal properties. Many OF
the same principles involved in the
Reading segregation apply to the lie
high Valley, and the latter will watch
the outcome Of the hearing set for
early in April with keen interest.

| have overcome a case of in
digestion that had troubled me
for six years. My stomach was
in such a bad fix that / actually
dreaded to eat, and many day
went without food rather than
endure the misery | knew would
follow if l allowed myself to
eat. What little / did force
down would lie like lead in the
pit of my stomach and cause me
the worst sort of pains. My
stomach was sour like vinegar,
and / would get so choked up
from the pressure of gas that l
simply had to fight for breath.
Il was troubled with consti-
patton. had pains in my back

came very dizzy. My sleep was
so restless that I arrays got up

faint, and as time went by l
fkept getting worse.

the day for me. and | consider
it worth its weight in gold. My
stomach acts just like a new
one. and my appetite is so
ravenous that it takes three
hearty meals a day and a snack
between meals to satisfy me.
