REDISCOUNT CUT
BOOSTS STOCKS
Reserve Bank Action
Causes Heavy Retreat
of Nervous Shorts

NEW YORK, May stock prices
made favorable response today to the
reduction in the rediscount rate by the
federal reserve bank of New York.
While bear traders were inclined to
construe this action as official con-
firmation of reports of poor business,
operators on the long side regarded it
as a stimulus to trade and succeeded
in regaining control of the price move
ment at least temporarily.
While the reduction was not alto
rether unexpected, it nevertheless
caused heavy retreat Of the nervous
short interests particularly in such
stocks as American Can, Baldwin,
United States Steel and Studebaker,
which closed 1 to 31a points higher.
Dismissal of the federal trade commits
sion's complaint against the American
4 Can company was contributing factor
to the strength of that stock.
General Electric was the individual
feature of the market, soaring more
than points to 221A on buying at
tributed toginside interests. Strength
of this issue revived rumors that a
4 special dividend distribution was in
prospect but these lacked official con-
firmation.
A bullish demonstration in the to-
bacco shares just before the close re-
suited in Tobacco Products and Ameri-
can Tobacco closing at net gains of 2
and 21a points, respectively.
Revival of interest in the oil shares
was due in part to the relatively favor
able showing made in the first quarter
ly statement of some of the larger COM
panies. Pan-American issues led the
recovery with good gains also being re-
ported by Pacific, Houston, General
Asphalt, and Phillips Petroleum.
Other individual strong spots in the
industrial group were American Smelt-
ing, Corn Products, American Agricul-
tural Chemical preferred Chicago yell
low Cab, Gold Dust, Woolworth and
Postum Cereal all of which moved up
to nearly points.
The best showing in the railroad
group was made by the investment is
sues, Norfolk and Western, New York
Central, Union Pacific, Southern Paci-
fie, Lackawanna Lehigh Valley and
Atcheson being among the many stocks
to close at net gains of point or so.
Although bankers generally agree
that the lowering of the federal reserve
rate will result in easier money, its
only effect today was in the call money
market which opened at Az cents and
then dropped successfully to 4, 3% and
49,. The time money market was dull
with the shorter maturities at Az per
cent and the longer dates commanding
AZ. Prime commercial paper was un-
changed at Az per cent.
Observation of the May Day holiday
abroad resulted in extremely light trad
ing in the foreign exchanges, which dis
played a firm tone. Demand sterling
ruled about Y of n cent higher around
$4.3S11a and French francs were quoted
just below .61@ cents.
Total stock sales, 744,200 shares.

The Marion publishers challenge
the Nanderlip effervescence as 4

They complain that they have been
damaged in their good names and
in their property rights, and they
ask restitution in the sum Of

FIND CLAY WORK

Postmaster A. B. Welch has on his
desk a rare specimen of what is
probably old Aztec clay work, in the
shape of small image about eight
inches in length and four inches
wide. 1t was plowed up on field ON
the WEIGH farm just south of Man
dan. 1t bears a close resemblance to
some of the tablets unearthed in the
Euphrates district but as the Aztecs,
as the natives of Mexico were called
wrought tablets of the same form it
is supposed to have been brought
here by some of the early tribes,
which like the Orikoras migrated
north from the Mexican plateau.
The discovery has an historical
value, though in the absence of any
hieroglyphics or markings on the
image there is little to indicate at
this time the period to which the
tablet belongs.
