NEW YORK, May 3l.-The feature

tive to earnings and those so strong

lost favor.
This is best illustrated in the case
of railroad securities. April earnings

counted for. but not altogether, bv
the fact that April, 1923. was an un-
usually good month for the railroads

The trend toward easier money.
which has been SO pronounced for

evidence this week. Both call money

fact that on Thursday money loaned

at least a lack Of demand for com

major depression is in sight and If
so there are many bargains to be

here, however, is that the tendency

Surface Indications.
Probably the uncertainties Of poll
ties at home and abroad have had
much to do with the present attitude
OF the Investment public. Apparent
ly the market has paid little or no
attention to the vicissitudes of the
tax reduction program at Washing
ton, nor does there seem, on the sur
face al least, to have been undue con-
Germ about the delay in the applica-
tion of the Dawes plan to the repara-
tions problem in Europe. But both
these situations must have had a
restraining influence. Only in one
group does confidence seem to be
established on a firm basis and that
is the public utilities.
There is still a vigorous demand for
speculative as we'll as investment
utility stocks and bonds and de-
mand seemingly justified by the facts.
There has been no falling off in earn
ings of the electric light and power,
the gas or the telephone companies.
On the contrary. these utilities all re-
port larger profits available for divi-
dends. No inventory problems worry

Only such a general falling off in
