Rapid Expansion in Business
Is Given as Reason for Rise
in RediSCount Rates,
INDUSTRIALS ARE STEADY
Equipment Stocks Draw In
tereSt Based on Reports of
Heavy January Traffic.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Trade re-
ports over the weekend furnished fur
Their support for the view that the rise
in the rediscount rate OF the New
York Reserve Bank was primarily due
TO rapid expansion in business. West
ern centers told OF the prospect OF a
building boom and commerce in all
lines was said to be gaining momen-
tum
fiustriaI stocks were steady in the
eaN dealings and rails were stimu-
lated by the outlook for brilliant Jan
uary earnings statements.
First Hour
Pronounced strength in the stand
ard rails was the feature Of the first
hour. B. & O.. whose January earn
ings were at the annual rate Of S13
a share. assumed the lead from the
standpoint of activity duplicating
years high This buoyancy, based on
the promises of excellent earnings
from the unprecedented January traf-
fc. encouraged action of equipment
stocks.
Second Hour
On heavy dealings. Steel common
was bid up to a duplication Of the
years high. This demonstration
afforded a cover for heavy profit
taking in the general industrial list
and substantional recessions from
recent highs took place in Baldwin,
Cuban Cane preferred, Gulf States
Steel, American Can. Corn Products
and American Wooden. But the
realization was in orderly fashion,
the market giving every indication of
absorptive power.
Third Hour
In the noon dealings a marked
hesitancy was evident about making
new commitments on the buying side
until the full effect Of the rise in the
New York bank rate could be meas
ured This uncertainty was APP
appraised by professional traders as
aA7ing a background for a reac-
tVWn the general market and they
continued hammering against Stude-
baker. Baldwin and other pivotal
stocks. Although issues OF this class
were depressed TO new lows for the
move, the market as a whole dis
played a very steady front and "a
raIlying tendency was noticeable in
American Can and Cuba Cane pre-
ferred.
Twenty active industrial stocks Sat
urday averaged 102.S5. of 40 per cent
Twenty active rails averaged 1920.
