WASHINGTON, March g.
The arduous duties of the Presi-

effect on the robust health of
Calvin Coolidge and his physi-
clans say he Is approaching his
new term of office physically fit.
Since he entered the White
House 10 months ago there was
been a slight deepening in the
lines that sharply mark out the
countenance of the President,
but even that change has been
almost impereeptable.
Except for cold or two, Mr..
Coolidge has seen nothing but

PALO ALTO, March 3. Prof.
Bailey Willis, of Stanford Uniyer-

recent earthquake shocks, especially
of last Saturday, said:
Both coasts are rising. On the
Pacific Coast, terrific submarine
pressure tends to elevate the coast
line. The east coast is elevating as
result of the effect, but much less
because the pressure is apparently
not so great. The pressure caused
tremors Saturday probably in the
Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico. An
other pressure point is in the Medi-

DISTRIBUTED
WIDELY
Foreign Loans for Week Small.
General Bond Market

BY MUNROE ROBERTS
international News Service

NEW YORK Dec. 6.-The weeks
new financing, aggregating about
$50, 00O, 900, was distributed oyer
wide range of domestic industrial,
utility and municipal enterprises.
Foreign loans were negligible IN
this total, unless there be included
the new 81 100000 issue OF the
Province Of Ontario, which my
many ,statisticfans is included in
domestic loans. Announcement was
made, however, OF the extension OF
a credit to Belgium participated in
by American bankers, which may
aggregate $100,O00,000 before the
end OF the winter.
The strong and active stock
market, with strenuous buying of
prime Industrial and Government
bonds, aided also by the favorable
developments in the money market,
exerted an important influence on
boind values this week. There was
a more important factor in the
case of convertible bonds Of the
oil and railroad companies, namely
the sharp advance In prices of
stocks into which the bonds may be
converted on favorable terms.
These bonds were easily the leaders
in the forward movement Of prices.
Further study OF the new tax
bin to be introduced into Congress
next week confirmed the early sum-
maries Of exemptions i'm income.
estate and Inheritance taxes, and
the consequent larger return to rich
investors in the purchase OF the
best grade Of coupon bonds.
Railroad bonds were in good IA
vor with both individual and III
stitutional buyers this week.
Pan American Pete Company,
Sinclair and SkelIey Oil convertible
issues led the industrial group into
higher price levels.
Considering the unsettled finan.
cial and political outlook in the
European countries, foreign bonds
were steady and price changes mar
row.

ST OCKS REACT
AFTER EARLY
RISE

Heavy Profit-Taking Forces
Prices Off-General Tone
Optimistic
By w. S. COUSINS
International News Service

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-After a
strong opening, in which the prin-
cipal oil, motor and railroad shares
moved up to slightly higher price
levels, the market reacted as the
result of heavy profit-taking today.
and prices declined moderately be-
low. the best of the week.
The comeback of the motor
stocks and the pronounced leader
ship of United States Steel were the
principal features Of the first hour,
though independent steel shares
moved up buoyantly in this period
and number of the high-priced
railroad stocks. including Atlantic
Coast Line. pushed through to the
highest prices of the movement.
Wall Street took considerable
satisfaction in digesting the new
tax bill, released in its entirety to-
day. 1t is believed in the financial
district that the bill will be put
through in record time, with a
minimum Of amendments.
With favorable weekend business
and industrial reports and indica-
tons Of the continuance of easy
money conditions over the year-end,
sentiment in Wall Street was cheer
full, and only the desire to take
profits was the principal motive
behind the fairly heavy offering of
stocks.
The rise of Pennsylvania railroad
common stock to 52ss, the highest
since 1917, was a feature of the rail.
road list, and was attributed to
inside buying in anticipation of an
increase in the cash dividend on the
stock. Earnings were reported in
the last three months at the rate
of SIS share, against dividend re.
quirements at SO a share. The Mis-
souri, Pacific, New Haven, Frisco
common and Wabash issues also
moved forward
Concentrated selling of American
Can resulted in a decline of S
points in that stock and an irregu-
lar tone in other stocks in that
group Pressure was exerted next
on the motor and oil stocks, which
have been advancing most vigor-
ously since the middle of the week.
with resulting declines of from /
to points.
A reactionary tone was also in
evidence in some of the principal
outside markets, including Prain
and cotton.
