STOCK ADVANCE
 IS DUE IN PART
 TO MERGER TALK
Another Favorable Influ- ence Is Gesture Toward
 Tax Reduction
By EDWARD J. CONDLON lRY Leased Wire to Age.Heraidl

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The demon stration which has taken place in the stock market in the week just com pleted might well be interpreted as a vote of confidence in the administration in Washington and in the business and financial outlook in general.
 There have been two things which have had much to do with starting the ball rolling. The first was merger talk, with the $600,000,000 baking merger actually consummated, only one of the many such undertakings. The second was the gesture in the direction of tax reduction. Just begin to talk tax audience in the financial community.
 Public Joins Procession
 Then, of course, with the movement once started, the waiting public joined in the procession until the market became a runaway affair. Even the mounting of the call money rate to 312 per cent for a brief period in mid-week failed to dampen enthusiasm, and the subsequent easing in the rate to 212 per cent as the ruling rate for over the weekend served to accelerate proceed ings on Saturday. Bankers have pre- dicted that money rates will remain cheap for some time to come, and when it is recalled that the high for money this year was 5% per cent and the low 2 per cent, it can be readily seen that we are close to rock bottom.
 Rails Lead Advance
 It is hardly necessary to scan the list of net changes for the week to learn that the railroad shares have led the advance since election day. The relegating of doubts and fears over the future of private ownership and opera tions of the railroads to the background with the defeat of the third party tick ct has permitted investors to give free reign to their likes and dislikes in railroad securities. The result has been an almost unprecedented rise in this section of the stock list. Then, too car loading figures have been quite reassuring.
 However, dramatic as this demon stration has been, and may be in the immediate future, the future of the market depends entirely on how well usual business and trade of the nation and of the world, can back up this vote of confidence. Much has been written since last Tuesday about ''busi. ness turning the corner" and industry pleased" but unless the improvement in trade is steady and well sustained, the election day can furnish no more of an actual peg upon which to hang trade lines than the anniversary of the battle of Bull Run.
 Sterling Jumps
 With the commodity markets ascend ing in sympathy with stocks, foreign exchange has provided one of mum Der of features during the week. The advance in sterling has been sensation al. The leap of approximately 8 cents in a week bespeaks confidence in the newly installed Baldwin ministry, and presages the return of funds to Lon don which had been loaned out on the continent and in America by British bankers alarmed over the former la bor government. The drop in British money rates to approximately the level here, clearly emphasizes this return oi British capital.

HIGHLY interesting and no leSs in- H dicative of improvement in man
 agement efficiency are figures just published by the Bureau of Railway Economies to show the trend since 1916 of operating expenses and net operating incomes of Class 1 railroads.
 This tabulation, besides actual fig ures, shows the proportion of total op- erating revenues devoted to operating costs andthe proportion remaining after costs as net income from operation of physical properties. The most striking comparison is afforded by the years, 1920 and 1923. Total expenses of opera tion plus taxes were greatest in 1920 of any year during the 1910-1s2s period, reaching a figure of $6,161, ,211 ,557. Con- trariwise, net operating income was by far the least.
 As shown above, wages in 1920 rep resented 55.4 per cent of all operating income, material and supplies accounted for 22.1 per cent, fuel costs amounted to 1O.9 per cent and net operating income reached a proportion of only 0.3 per

U. s. STEEL BOOM TOBEFELT HERE,
 GARY INDICATES
Corporation Head Sees Great Future For Na-
 tiOn's Industries

The statement given out by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the Unit ed States Steel corporation, that never before in the history of the world has any country had such an opportunity for advancement as the United States possesses at this time," is of peculiar in- terest and significance to Birmingham by reason of the immense holdings of his company in this district.
 It is doubtful if Judge Gary has ever given for publication an interview stripped of the usual conditions. The statement was made to the press when the veteran industrial leader was asked his opinion as to the business outlook following the reelection of President Coolidge. In reply Judge Gary said:
 "The election of Mir. Coolidge by an unusually large majority furnished reasons for a worldwide feeling of grat- itude to a wise and merciful Providence that rules the destinies of human kind. look for great business prosperity. If it does not appear it will not be for lack of opportunities or conditions.
 Coolidge Patient
 "Mr. Coolidge has been a stendying force and living example in this coun- try beyond that of any single person since the time of Lincoln. He has been discreet, patient and wise. With no feeling of enmity toward those who have been harsh and sometimes cruel in their criticism, he has pursued con- sistent course of propriety and fair. ness and with an eye single to the happiness, comfort and prosperity of all the people.
 Never before in the history of the world has any country had. such an opportunity for advancement as the United States possesses at this time The fundafentalals are here, the foun' dation has been laid. It is up to us the people, to do our part"
 Called Meeting
 Immediately after the election, it is reported here that Judge Gary called a meeting of the presidents of all the companies associated with the Steel corporation. From Birmingham, George G. Crawford, president of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company is in attendance. There is feeling ill this district that the Steel corporation finance committee, which has held uI many large appropriations for this and other districts will, release some of the funds and that a very extensive pro. gram of building will be carried for. ward in the Birmingham district There are many items on expansions auxiliary to operations, which have been held up by the finance committed awaiting, it is believed, the arrival of the moment when the officials would feel as confident as Judge Gary has indicated in the foregoing statement That time having arrived, it is con sidered very probable that the appro. priations for the Tennessee company plants will be large.

BONDS SSWEEP TO NEW PEAKS
 - - Trading Volume Unequal ed Since Market Boom
 Of Last June
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Bond prices last week swept to new high levels for the year as trading expanded to proportions upequalled since the bond market boom" of last June. The up- swing was led by railroad issues, more than a score of which established new 1924 high records in response 10 the election outcome which indicated that the danger of adverse legislation had been removed, enabling the carriers to proceed with constructive merger and dividend plans.
 Both the standard investment and the semi-speculative rail lines found favor, with the lower priced bonds SCOT ing the heaviest gains. Factors which contributed to their strength were the cumulative effects of favorable monthly earnings and several weeks of record breaking freight traffic.
 Liberties Lose Slightly
 Trading in industrial, public utility and government bonds failed to keep pace with the movement of the carrier securities, activity being retarded some what by higher money rates. In reflec- tion of the tighter money situation, liberty bonds moved slightly lower but industrial issues, with a few excep- tions gained ground.
 The election holiday interrogation caused bankers to withhold new bond offerings from the market, the volume of new financing declining to approxi- nately S32.O0OOO in contrast with al- most S10O,0OO,000 the week before. With election uncertainties remvoed and all indications pointing to better busi- ness corporations are expected to in crease their borrowings in the next few months. The largest issue sold last week was in the form of S20, 0,0OO, GOO six per cent bonds for the newly or ganizcd service power and light con,- pany.
 Heavy Offerings Coming
 Approval of numerous bond issues submitted to voters in the election is expected to swell the total of state and municipal financing $500, 900 900 or more, although offerings will be spread over several months. The> heaviest bor- rownig will be done by the state of Illinois which authorized the snle of $100, 100000 road bonds.
 Among the rail bonds which broke through their previous high records last week were those of the Seaboard Air Line, New York Central, Frisco lew Haven, Chicago and Alton, Mis- souri Pacific and Katy" railroads.
 Strength of United Kingdom issues was the outstanding feature of trading in foreign bonds. In line with the rise in sterling to 1924 peak, the 5 1-2 per cent bonds of 1929 cclipsed their previous high record.
