1t was in the inactive stocks the

Dealings in the transit issues were
very light, with the only change oc-
curing in Philadelphia Traction, which
moved up to 62N Slight variation
was registered in the Y. G. !. issucs.
Philadelphia Electric issues remained
unchanged.
The local bond houses were greatly
disappointed by the meager allotmeHts
given tc the Southern Railway bond
subscribers. Twenty per cent was al
lotted to subscriptions of $1,000 TO
500 900, and only 10 per cent above
that amount. There was some grum-
bling, too. regarding the Strawbridge
& Clothier Issue, but the subscribers
were given much fair treatment. Both
issues were very heavily oversub-
scribed.
Preliminary statement Of earnings Of
the American Stores Company shows
gross for last year Of $s6, ,2l8,
which is $16,9SS. 1858 less than that OF
1920. This however, presents the
results Of falling prices rather than
shrlnkage in the volume of sales. Price
reductions last year averaged between
25 and 30 per cent. which would indi-
cate the company was turning over a
volume Of merchandise considerably
larger than in 1920. The amount OF
profit the company will be able to show
on the $S6, ,069, PIG Of gross sales in
spec speculation. On S't the = s10a, ,6SS,57 gross
sales of 1920 a profit Of $12.7S q share

1910 on gross sales of SO, ,401 $50, or
approximately $4,000. 900 less than
the year just closed, n profit Of S12.s6
was made. In the case Of this earlier
year the company enjoyed n period Of
rising prices In 1921 this situation
was reversed. while at the same time
operating expenses have increased. the
cost Of doing business last year being
the largest the company has cx-
perienced. II will therefore not be
surprising IL something less than the
amount OF profit reported in 1910 and
1920 will be shown for 1921.

PRICE MOVEMENT
VERY CONFUSING.
Spectacular Rise of Twenty
Points in Gulf States
Steel

New York. Jan. 19.-All other move d.
ments in today's stock market were
eclipsed by the spectacular advance OF
nearly 20 points in Gulf States Steel.
The trading in the stock which had been
steadily advancing for several days be-
cause Of sensa tional character in the
afternoon when many brokers competed
in the execution of buying orders. fore
ing the stock up TO S5. an overnight
advance Of 19% points and net rise
of 81 points In less than week. At
the beginning OF the movement it was
stated that the buying was connected
with Henry Ford's bid for the muscle
shoals plant. but the spectacular char
acter Of today's bidding indicated Wig
orous contest for control.
The movement of the main body OF
stock was one Of confusion and eX-
treme irregularity IL not contradictions.
IL not only reflected a contraction OF
demand, but the manner in which stocks
were supplied easily confirmed the be-
lief that some Of the very recent cd
vances were due wholly to forced cover
ing OF The shorts. From the outset there
was q reactionnry undercurrent, which
was accentuated in the progressive ad-
vance in the call money rate from Az
per cent TO g per cent. The higher rate
provoked general selling movement in
the last hour and caused a general re-
action, which stood out in contrast with
the Gulf States Steel exciting episode.
II was the stocks favored by the pools
that figured most prominently prior to
the afternoon setback. In the earlier
proceedings the independent steel group
continued the chief attraction. The
sugar shares also put up a stronger
front. but II was in the pool specialties
the real interest centpred. The motors
from the outset encountered liberal
profit taking while the rails until the
late reaction played no part in the
trading.
There was again evidence Of the
forced movement observed yesterday in
number Of the industrial Speciolties.
While this was largely the handiwork
OF various pools and speculative combi
nations. there was some connection to
be made IN these scattering individual
denominations with the apparent pre-
arranged and concerted campaign
against the horde Of Hy-by night
brokers' which have sprung up in oil
directions the last two years with
alarming rapidly.

Well, consider that the force

This force may be so applied
against the wall of the hollow bean
that the reaction affects the bean
in only one direction at a time.
When a man tries to lift himself

quently there is no motion either

But IL he stood on the platform

pulled let his knees bend and his
body yield to the force by sagging
down rapidly upon his launches,
the beam of the balance would
shoot upward, showing an unbal-
anced reaction that acted upon the
platform like a sudden downward
push. This resembles the reaction
of the larva's kick upon the inner
wall of the bean.
The creature may be figured as
curving itself into the form of a
