STOCKS CONTINUE
UPWARD MOVEMENT
AFTER 2-DAY REST

ed Over Holidays Sweep
Prices Forwmd.
BY STUART Z. WEST.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light
New York. Feb. 13.-Today's mar
ket was speculative enthusiasm mt its
highest pitch of the season.
An accumulation of buying orders
over the holidays, large part com.
ing from the outside public. swept
prices forward at the opening. Sub
quently some of these gains were lost,
but in many other instances they were
increased as the session went on and
this in the face of very heavy profit
taking sales by the pools and the pro-
fessiOnal element generally. 4 jump
of nearly a cent in the price Of raw
sugar TO . Ii cents pound aroused
fresh wave of excitement in the
sugar stocks. All OF these moved for
ward another > to points. Cuba
Cane Sugar preferred was up over II
points from where it was selling only
week ago. Punta Allegro II points,
American Beet Sugar 10 and Cuban
American Sugar 10.
South Porto Rico Sugar which has
the special advantage of escaping the
duty which the Cuba nproduccrs have
to pay was w 20 points from where it
started week ago.
Baldwin Locomotive made a new
high for the present movement and so
did Lima. following the statement
that not since figures of railway buy
ing had begun TO be compiled had or
ders for locomotives been as large as
they are at present.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The markets today took the view
that the European situation, while il
might not have improved, had GER
tainly grown no worse over the two
day recess and that therefore there
was nothing to interfere with con
tinued discOunting of the favorable
features OF the trade situation at
home.
Production statistics, the further
tendency towards rising prices in the
principal industrial lines. predictions
of greatly enlarged earnings begin
ming with the first quarter of the year
and leading 10 larger distribution Of
dividends - these were the motives
back Of the eager buying movement in
the stock market.
In so far as the days markets had
any opinion To express about the for
cign affairs. the expression was con-
fined to the exchange market. French
francs turned definitely weak again.
They lost fully half the entire recov-
cry of last week and were down with
ing little more than quarter of a
cent of the extreme low Of fort
night ago.
French government bonds followed
moderately in the downward course
Of French exchange. but did not show
signs of n recurrence of the panicky
selling Of two weeks $40. Sterling
displayed the same indifference 10 the
movement of continental rates that it
has all along. 1t was off only slight
~ from its high record since 10lil-
the figures OF 400 reached in Deem
Der. 1922.
Nothing that occurred in any Of the
markets of the day approached in in
tprpst the dealings on the stock OK
change There was no diseuting the
fact that the public was in the mar
kct in full force. in other words, that
Wall street syndicates and prOfcs,
sinnal oneratorS had obtained the goal
which they had been striving for for
the last two months.

tional HarVester's Moscow Factory.
BY the Associated Press.

Moscow, Feb. ia proposal for
naturalization of the international
Harvester Company's plant in Mos
COW has been made, according TO Eco

fuses TO finance further its Russian
factory. The correspondent learns that

waite management.
Officials at the coInpanys Moscow
office asserted that the firm was in
rather Il different position. The cost
Of manufacturing is extremely high
and last autumn the contract with
the government. under which ,hC COM
pany sold its product to the state at
cost, plus n small profit expired and
has not been renewed.
The Soviet government, il was said,
