Stock Prices
Forge Ahead
With Vigo1'
Industrials Lead in the
Y ward Movement;
Buying Is Mofivated by
Better Technical Position

recovery of almost two points in
the average price level of stocks tcsti-
ned yesterday to the completeness with
which speculative forces had swung to
the advance. The rally toward the
close on Wednesday had pointed the
way and, following ths resumption Of
trading yesterday morning, the rising
trend became definitely established and
soon acquired o momentum that dis
PEELED the last remaining signs of the
recent weakness. Industrial stocks de-
rived more benefit from the reversal
than did the rails, the difference being
that in the former gains of less than
point were rare, while in the latter
fractional advances predominated.
The buying interest in the market
was motivated by the belief that the
decline had extended to point where
technical conditions had been righted
and by the theory, supported by bank
crs as well rs by the strictly profess
sional operators, that the advance owe,
recent months had not fully discounted
prosperity in prospect. The turn was
caused by extensive short-covering op-
erations which were continued yester-
day and by the re-entry on the long
side of many who figured that the re-
action had run it's course.
Bonds displayed relatively the same
measure of recuperative power as
stocks. Liberty bonds have been firm
ing for several sessions past, but the
rest Of the list had previously been
irregular to unsteady. Important gains
yesterday were confined to the more
speculative investment issues, but a
definite drift toward higher levels was
established. A call loan rate main
tanned at 5 per cent was of little con-
sequence from the standpoint of the
security markets.
Marks went to new low of ~ hun
dredths of cent or more than $500
to the dollar. Depreciation Of German
currency is spasmodic chiefly because
OF the inevitable fux of sentiment
within Germany, where depression is
effective in waves. The franc was also
weak, declining more than tenth of
cent. In this case, the belated recog-
milton that France cannot hope to real
ize much on reparations, at least for
several years, is the dominant infiu-
ence. Incidentally, the Bank Of France
statement, issued yesterday, shows a
resumption of expanding circulation
after q fortnight of contraction.
Sterling and lire were slightly i'm
proved, the latter still benefting from
favorable reception Of the new
ministry.
A late squirt after period OF irreru-
larity carried cotton z to 1s points
above Wednesdays close, with most
deliveries at new high levels. In the
wheat market, the May delivery scored
new peak for the season, but after an
early general advance prices reacted
slightly under technical influences and
finished unchanged to y cent lower on
the day.

Mr.. Cuyler,s Death

Mr.. Cuyler's sudden death was re.
garded everywhere in the financial dis.
trict yesterday as great blow to con-
structive enterprise, particularly in the
railroad fed, where he had served
without personal remuneration as chair
man Of the Association of Railway Elk,
ecutives. Both bankers and rail execu-
tives joined in the opinion that it will
be difficult task to find successor
as able in handling the difficult situa-
tions arising. His passing was so un-
expected that there was little talk as
to who would be chosen to fill his place
as chairman of the executives associa-
tion. The vice. chairman is A. P. Thorn,
who is also general counsel 1t was
thought in some quarters that Mr..
Cuyler's mantle might fall on his
shoulders, but this opinion was re-
garded as mere guesswork.

Canadian Financing

Investment houses report that for
the first time. in five or six years bonds
payable in Canadian funds are begin
ming to find market in this country.
With the establishment Of premium
on Canadian dollars, the reasons op-
Grating against these bonds as an in
vestment no longer hold, and they are
beginning TO come across the border in
fair volume. This does not mean chat
the flotation of Canadian loans in this
country will be hampered. The invest
ment market in the Dominion is still
too limited to naet all requirements
and municipalities and provinces are
expected to continue the practice of
issuing bonds payable at New York or
in Canada. An instance is seen in the
report that Toronto will shortly seek
$5,000,O00 or $4,000, 200 here.

Marks in New Break

The comparative stability which has
characterized the German mark during
recent sessions was shaken yesterday
by fresh wave of German selling, and
this rapidly fading currency took an
other drop toward valuation Of nil.
At 1s4 hundredths of cent, the new
low record reached yesterday, 5,714
marks were to be had for dollar or,
to express it differently, represented
what Germany would have to pay for
a dollars worth Of foodstuffs, raw ma
terials oremanufactures bought in this
country. Yesterdays decline was only
7-16 Of one hundredth of cent, yet it
cut away 20 per cent Of the foreign pur-
chasing power Of the mark. Bankers
said that the break was to be regarded
merely as another stage in the flight
from the mark, advices indicating that
new panic had seized the German
people and that they were ready to
exchange their marks for anything of
certain value.

African Bank Agencies to Merge

The tendency toward consolidation in

would be taken over and conducted by
the Standard Bank of South Africa,
