BY STUART 2. WEST,

New York. April 25.-The United
States Steel Corporations report and
its effect on steel shares was the big
gest topic of conversation in the stock
market today.
Traders pretended to be disappoint-
ed today because the market did not
enthuSe more over the report for the
first quarter. Steel common opened

then moved slowly forward again. As

There were few particularly striking

the start. still feeling the effect of

measures had beer taken to correct the

the thing that has reacted against the
oil trade during the last two or three
months. Later on the oil stocks moved
with more uncertainty. but Il still
could be said that sentiment toward
them was improved.
Realizing sales promptly appeared
in Gimbel Brothers stock on announce

Company. The market did not know
just how bulliSh this piece OF news

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Interest ccntered again today in the
stock market for the way il would
register the opinion Of the financial
community regarding the various ex-
pressions that are being given out
about the business future.
There were times. especially during
the early part of the trading. when
more or less hesitation was shown.
Because the steel shares did not at
once respond TO the favorable earnings
for the first quarter of the United
against ever-buying at higs prices that
SIGNALS maintained that this was more
proof that good news nowadays is
falling flat.
Following this theory there was
some fresh experimenting on the sell.
ing side. but it was quickly found
that when prices were offered down a
half point 10 point resistance was
encountered which had not been in the
market in the closing days of last
week. This discovery encouraged a
renewal of buying as the day went on
and prices were quick TO respond.
The markets action undoubtedly
demonstrated nn underlying note of
optimism while still admitting readily
enough the point made by so many
that trade expansion could not have
carried on the way it was in March
without inviting serious consequences.
So much warning has been given
asainS over-buying at high prices that
the upward movement in raw materials
and commodities in general has been
backed.
This may or may not be lasting. but
at present il has treasured the security
markets that the danger element IS
no longer present as it was month
ago.
Two developments in the trade sit
uation attracted special attention IN
the price movement of the day. One
was new high for Cuban raw sugar
Mt 6 is cents a pound. The other was
announcement, the import
ance of which was not Immediate ap--
preciated. that leading California oil
companies have taken aggressive meas
ures to reduce the shipment OF crude
oil from their territory.
Inasmuch rs it has been the trans
port of low priced California oil TO the
eastern seaboard which has been the
primary cause Of the recent price cut
ting, the restrictive action promises
cure for such weakness as lies in the
oil trade situation. Oil shares were
prompt to recognize this and. the other
stocks were equally prompt to reflect
the continued rise in sugar prices and
The discredit- which this is throwing
upon the claim Of manipulation.

Copyright by The san Antonio Light
New York. April 25.-Coach Bob
Folwell is expected to drop into
Annapolis this week To look over the
Navy's football material and decide
as to the scope OF spring practice.
The chances are that it will not
amount to much because so many OF
the football players are engaged IN
other sports. chiefly in Lacrosse. Ii
is very interesting fact that at the
Naval Academy the athletic authori-
ties consider that the ancient Indian
game is the best possible form of ex-
ercise for football players in off
seasons.
The Navy Lacrosse squad. in fact.
is LARGELY composed of members OF the
football squad and this hn> been the
case for some years back. j. j.
Dougherty. the general coach and
trainer. says that in the experience
Of the physical experts at the academy
no sport does so much for the foot
ballers as Lacrosse.
The constant running" he says,
docs more to make muscles timber
and plisble than anything We know
and the necessity of sharp turns and
quick changes of direction plays right
in the hands of the conditioners of
the football men. Another thing is
that no game calls for greater en-
durance than Lacrosse and we find
that in the fall the gridrion men who
have played Lacrosse the preceding
spring are in vastly better condition
than those who have not"
Barchet and Carney of the football
eleven are on the baseball team and
playing fine ball. Yet they are the
subjects Of constant fears that some
injury may incapacitate them for
football next fall. Carney bids fair
To be the blazing line star of the
East next fall. Some idea of his
keeness as player will be gathered
when it is set forth that in 1921 he
picked up thirteen fumblcd balls and
that last season he recovered ten
fumbles and intercepted two forward
passes. Pretty fair work for a guard.
