FINANCIAL REVIEW.
(Bu nisnatch A. 2. Mirel


NEW YORK, April PA marked
change for the better in business and
speculative sentiment followed an
nouncement this week of reduction
in the New York federal reserve
bank rediscount rate from A to 3h
per cent. The average of 20 leading
industrial shares showed a net gain
of about 6 points on week and the
average of 20 leading railroad shares
advanced nearly points. Trading
in both the stock and bond markets
showed an appreciable increase in
volume total bond sales on Friday
being the second largest on record
A sweeping reduction in money
rates accompanied the drop in the
bank rate. This was followed by the
heavy transfer of funds to London
where higher interest rates are avail
able accounting for the strengthen
ing of sterling exchange as the week
closed. The premium on the Cana
dian dollar, however, resulted in a
heavy movement Of gold to Canada.
Japanese exchange sold at it's high
est levels in three years in antici-
patton of an early return to the gold
standard, but the silver exchanges
were heavygin in sympathy with the
lower for the white metal.
Wheat futures dropped 21k to near
ly cents a bushel below the prices
prevailing at the close of last week,
but the other principal commodities
held relatively steady. The coffee
and sugar markets pointed upward.

confidence in the market, according
to commission house advices. Several
new pools are reported to have been
organized, which probably accounts
for the strength and activity of a
number of specialties. General Elec-
trio was the outstanding individual
feature, soaring 19 points to 1926,
compared with a recent low of 2S5.
The unusually heavy demand for Gen
eral Motors, which jumped over 5
points to 1871, or only 2 points be-
low the years high was in anticipa-
tion of a record breaking quarterly
earnings report next week. Short
covering was particularly active in
this issue.
The, demand for the industrials cen
tered largely in such issues as Allied
Chemical, American Linseed preferred,
colorado Fuel and Iron, Dupont, Fa-
nous Players Lasky, Garbiel Snub-
bers, Mack Trucks, Pathe, Republic
Iron and steel and Woolworth, all up
II to 81 points.
Several of the standarS industrials,
such as United States Steel common,
Baldwin, Marland Oil and Pullman
yielded fractionally on profit taking.
Speculative interest in the railroad
shares was confined to relatively few
issues, with 2-point advance in At
lantic oCast Line as one of the few
features.
The commodity markets held rela-
lively steady in quiet trading. An
early rally in wheat was wiped out
by profit taking, closing quotations
disclosing only small fractional
changes Cotton futures were well
supported, most of the active months
showing nominal gains +on the day.
Raw sugar was unchanged but fu-
lures were slightly higher Coffee
closed unchanged to- 10 points higher.
Foreign exchange trading was
quiet. but the Sundertone@ was firm.
Sterling was slightly higher, around
$4.S6 for demand bills, presumably
in reflection of the transfer of funds
to London where higher interest
rates are available.
French francs ruled about a point
higher, around 9.96h cents. Spanish
pesetas jumped 8 points to 14.43
cents, but most of the other changes
were nominal.

GRAIN MARKET.

/ CHICAGO, April 24.-Wheat rallied
in surprising fashion today after May
delivery had sold down to 10c a
