NEW YORK. April 29.-Today's
Short session Of the stock market
was one Of the most active on record
In the current movement. Under the
leadership of the oil stocks, in which
the Standard Oil shares were active
participants the rails and the inde-
pendent steel shares. the market
gained momentum as 1t proceeded
and prices were again marked up
ward in a rally that embraced every
section of the speculative list.
Favorable flashes from the field
OF foreign conferences, reports of a
still better record of railroad earn
ings than had been anticipated and
Of a distinctly favorable outlook in
the steel trade converged on the
financial district today, emphasizing
the urgency Of acquiring stocks at
current levels. There was also in
evidence a movement on the part OF
the bears to cover up the short COM
mittments which had been entered
into on Wednesday and Thursday.
when the market appeared to be well
started on the road TO lower levels.
The last two days have furnished one
OF the most remarkable reversals in
form that has ever been seen since
the turn Of the year.
Standard Oil of New Jersey was
one of the. most active stocks in the
market today, followed closely by
its running mate, Standard Oil OF
California. The New Jersey stock
raced forward in the frs hour TO
1871, up S& points from yesterdays
low, and the California stock at
1131a, showed a gain OF Sh from
ut
printed today showing that at the
end of 1920 S. o. n. ]. had a book
value Of $3.50 a share, TO which a
considerable surplus has been adde d
in the meantime. The company q
working capital is in excess or $500,
900. Mexican Petroleum at 1924
Texas Company at AN. Philips
Petroleum at a new high at A, Cali.
fornia Petroleum at So n and Cosden
at 43 and Pacific Oil at 5912 also
featured the advance in this section
OF the list.
Rails took a more active partici.
patton in the advance, stimulated by
the report that the statements OF
forty-three class l roads for March
showed a gross revenue of S3l6,S4y,
PA and net revenue Of 5S.0U5, 344
an increase of S36,476,ll4 over the
same month last year. Atchison ad
vanced to lOl4 New York Ceuu al &c

Haven to 2S5s. Central Leather at
1914 and Corn Products at los were
outstanding features among the
specialues, the latter rejecting the
increase in earnings to $3.47 a share
during the first quarter.
Though quite active Studebaker
sold within narrow limits, mostly
lower, as result OF uncertainty
concerning the action OF the direc

Prices of several classes of commodities which fell rapidly dur ing 1921 have now apparently become somewhat stabilized. For instance, the price index for lumber and build ing materials on December showed an increase of 5 points over the fig ures for November l, thereby regis tering the first increase in I8 months. This rise h the index is undoubtedly the result of the steady demand for building materials indicated by the latest construction reports available for lo2I, which show a total volume only slightly below 1919.

Therefore in seeking to determine a normal price level it is more logical to base considerations on the pro- longation of this les6-ls14 line rather than on the average for l91$, which is shown on the chart to be 100. The dotted line reaches ll5 in 1922; therc- fore the price index of l4e for Dc cembcr for al! commodities is only 34 points above the fair level which might have been normal but for the war.
