NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The stock

Consequently the market was some

which would permit them to buy
back their favorites at attractive
prices.
Sharp Reaction.
The sharp reaction in the latter
part of the week was attributed to
the latest developments in Washing
ton, suggesting a full and complete
investigation Of the petroleum indus
try, with special emphasis on the
affairs Of any company possessing
leases on Government Oil reserves.
But this was generally regarded as
an excuse, rather than reason, for
the rather melting of values which
took place in the later sessions, and
the concentration of bearish attacks
on a number of poorly supported Oil
stocks was more logical eXplana-
ton Of the decline. The call money
market was an ally of the bears
this week, call loans advancing to
5k per cent for the first time since
the turn of the new year.
The speculative leaders were con-
spicuously strong. United States

high on the current move on strong
buying from both investment and
speculative sources, and once more

after being pushed down close to

New York Central was strong ana
active at the higher levels.
Favorable Factors.
Economic factors converging on
the stock market were again favor
able. The report Of Republic Steel
set a high standard to which it was
thought other prominent industrial
companies might measure up in
their forthcoming annual state
ments. Further advances were
marked up in gasoline and crude oil.
Car loadings maintained the high
record OF the first four weeks of the
new year. January output of pig
iron was larger than the same
month last year. There was no
decrease in unemployment. New
financing of industrial companies
was we'll absorbed in the investment
market. Foreign exchanges were
less erratic, and domestic business
continues at high rate.

News Service.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-After es.
tablishing new high prices for the
movement in various directions, the
bond market displayed somewhat
reactionary tendency during the
past week. The first symptom was
seen in the lack of enthusiasm in
gilt-edged issues, in which the de-
mand had been Unsuitable until now,
and the dragging trend in some
Of the bonds recently brought out
on a low yield basis. This tendency
was generally ascribed to profit
taking, encouraged by the tremen-
dous amount of new offerings this
week. They were more than dou-
BILE the total offerings for the cor
responding period last year.
1t was also suggested that the i'm
pending Japanese loan was having
it's effect, as often the case when
an issue of an unusually large size
is to be floated. This operation to
be put through early next week,
will be of exceptional Importance,
in that it involves the financial
markets both here, London and the
Continent.
According to the latest inforlna-
ton available, the loan Will be be-
tween $3.50, 100000 and $500, 900, 900,
the proceeds to be used to refund
Japans outstanding sterling obliga-
tions, and to finance the recon-
struction work of the territory de-
vastated by the earthquake. Listed
Japanese bonds were active and
strong the earlier days of the week.
An easier tone developed later in
the week when the report was cir
culated that it's yield would be
slightly more than per cent.
In spite of the prevailing irregu-
larity, traders regarded the under
lying conditions Of the market ab-
solutely sound. Backing their opin-
ion they pointed to the rapidity
with which new issues were being
absorbed, resulting in a material
cutting down of allotments.
The Liberty loan group was ac-
tive and firm, although not wholly
able to break away from the back
ward tendency of other high grade
securities. A good deal Of recent
buying was credited to the British
government and the United States
for sinking fund purposes.
Foreign governments pursued a
steady course.
The reaction, which occurred in
stock prices, induced profit taking
in various speculative industrial and
rail issues, but not before new high
levels for the year were recorded
in many low priced railroad bonds.
Cunvertibles which are especially
sensitive to stock fluctuations, were
particularly pressed.
fractions and public utilities ruled
dull but generally steady.

CURB TRADING MIXED
IN SHORT SESSION
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Trading in
the short session on the curb ex-
change today was a mixed affair,
the outcome Of continued profit-tak-
ing in petroleums and a small
amount of new buying in indus
trials.
The sharp declines registered In
Standard Oil yesterday caused a
good deal of liquidation at the open
ing, resulting in further losses
ranging from to points in Prairie
Oil and Gas, Imperial Oil of Canada,
Cumberland Pipe and a few others.
Selling, however, was fairly well
taken, and aided by fresh strength
in Swan and Finch and Chese-
brough most issues staged a mod
crate recovery in subsequent trad
ing.
IndustriaIs showed an inclination
to break away from the depressing
influence Of the oils. Various issues
tended upward, although the move
ment was marked by great caution.
Silica Gel, Kresge, Grand Stores
and Dubilier Radio were principally
favored.
Price movements in the mining
list were narrow.
Bonds ruled steady.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Due to the
further rise in crude Oil prices in
the principal producing fields, the
market for gasoline and other oil
products is firm, with a tendency
to slightly higher prices, particular.
ly in the eastern consuming CEN
ters. Gasoline and naptha have
been marked to higher price levels
twice within a week.
The refined petroleum market Is
holding steady. Distributors re-
port good domestic demand for
products, with some increase in the
amount engaged for export. There
has been a marked increase in the
demand for kerosene, due to colder
weather, and refiners report a de.
cline in storage supplies Of this
commodity. Fuel oil has also been
firm, and it is believed that a
further upturn may come about,
unless crude oil production should
appreciably increase in California
and the mid-continent fields.
According to oil experts here,
consumption Is gradually overtaking
production and it will be necessary
to draw on storage oil before the
end of summer. Last year eight
new producing fields were discover
ed almost simultaneously and this
additional flow demoralized the oil
situation for a few months. The
important question Is, whether it
will be possible to duplicate all,
or part Of this new production dur.

answer depends important develop.

Early IrreguIarity Replaced by
Stiffening Tendency'AII

Copyright, 1924. by Cosmopolitan

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-In a con-
aiderably reduced volume OF trans
actions the stock market in its alb
breviated session displayed steadi'
ness today. Irregularity at the
efforts of the bearish element to
capitalize the publicity given to the
sensational investigation in respect
to the Western naval oil leases and
the gasoline price situation, was OF
little consequence, being replaced
by q stiffening tendency all along
the line.
The character of the days news
fully justified the improved tone.
Such indications of reviving trade
as the increase Of 100000 tons In
steel ingot production during Janu-
ary, carloading figures indicating
freight movement for the week
ended February 2, in excess of that
Of any corresponding week on rec
ord with loadings of merchandise
freight, generally taken as crl'
terioh of business conditions
throughout the country, showing an
increase Of 13,808 cars over last
year and additional advances in
petroleum products, were factors
which could not be ignored by the
rank and file Of Wall Street
traders.
The weekly trade reviews also
testified to improving conditions.
Bradstreet's reported noticeable I'M
provement in apparel trades and
more cheerfulness in the North
west, while Dun's found the growth
Of business irregular but clearly dis
cernible and more wholesome.
Leathers, sugars and steel were
the first to register the better SEN
timent, but the chief stimulus was
derived from the buoyant action of
u. S. Steel common, which under
large dealings rose Ia points,
thereby more than recovering yes
terday's loss. Aside from the bull
tsh ingot statement, the expectation
Of a favorable tonnage report to be
issued at the close Of the market
today appeared to be the main rea-
Son for the advance.
The trading pace. which was ex'
tremely slow in the first hour,
Quickened in the latter part of the
session, short covering and fresh
speculative buying accelerating the
forward movement in various is

points. General Electric was also
bid up sharply, while Foundation
Company, Dawson Chemical and
Otis Elevator were heavily bought
in the speciality group.
Petroleum shares recovered, led
by Pan-American. Baldwin turned
upward, rallying a point or so.
Railroad stocks were quietly ac-
cumulated without recording any
wide advances. New Haven and Mis-
souri, Pacific were conspicuously
strong among the little rails.
The market closed firm.
Leading foreign exchanges dis
played firmness, sterling In particu-
