STOCK PRICES RALLY
AFTER SELLING OFF
General Electric Action and
Strength of U. S. Steel Have
| Stimulating Effect.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, May 25.-The stock
market was called upon today to face
the test of concentrated selling. For
a time prices gave way under the
flood of offerings. but when no inn
portant liquidation sof real stock was
brought out and the Unexpectedly
favorable dividend action Of General
Electric was announced the market
turned right about. early losses were
largely regained and an air of con-
fidence was restored
United States Steel took the lead
In the last hour and went to ia. new
high for all time.
The early selling was simply the
reflection of the skeptical attitude to-
ward the market on the part of pro
fessional Wall Street. Increase in
brokers loans, the trend toward higher
charges for call money and the belief
that the short interest had been re-.
duced all operated to encourage selling
for the decline.
The attack was Centered upon
Chesapeake 4 Ohio and Union Pacific
among the seasoned diVidend-paYing
railroad issues. and upon Mack Trucks
and White Motor in the automobile
group. Losses Of from to 3 points
were recorded before support ap-
peared. The Missouri Pacific issues
were lower and so was Pittsburgh &
West Virginia. Hudson Motor resist
ed for time and then gave way
fractionally. General Motors held
much better.
1t started in with gain and offer
ings substantially made little impress
sion upon the price. United States
Steel was we'll supported during the
selling elsewhere. Baldwin opened
strong, crossing 220 to new high
for all time, then. broke sharply, only
to come back again.
After two hours of attempts along
this line traders changed their tactics
and began to buy back stocks they
had sold. The market rallied at once
and the early losses were in part can
celled. Meanwhile, some stocks had
been in steady demand all along.
Among them were General Electric.
responding to the announcement that
the stock had been advanced 81 to a
81 annual basis. And that the usual
annual extra would be paid in cash
instead of in General Electric Special
THE Erie issues were strong. especially
the first preferred. The expectation is
that holders of Erie first will be re-
warded by dividend action. The ability
of selected stocks to keep on moving
up while the rest of the list was under
pressure demonstrated that the mar
ket no longer moves as a unit. The
bidding up of Pittsburgh Coal. Bush
Terminal. Great Western Sugar and
several others brought out this point
plainly.

STEEL OUTPUT HIGH.

NEW YORK, May % LP).-A high
output of steel in the Mahoning Val
ley is reported in Youngstown dis
patches. The primary steel industry
is maintaining the April rate of pro
duction and shipments and figures for
some companies will exceed those of
the preceding month, it is said. Equip
ment buying of railroads is a benefi.
clal influence in the current market.
Secondary steel companies continue
production at a high rate and are
liberal consumers of primary steel
products.

COTTON ADVANCES
AFTER EARLY DROP
UnfavorabIe Weather News
Brings in Buying Following

BY the Associated Press.

by inc Associated ITeHS.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The cotton
market opened steady today at de-
cline of to 6 points, but quickly
firmed up on unfavorable weather re.
ports, which seemed to bring in trade
buying as well as covering by recent
sellers and fresh commission house de-
mand. October contracts soon sold up
from 1860 to 1915 and January from
1852 to 1905, net advances of about
to II points on active positions.
Early weather reports showed rains
in the central belt, where dry, warm
weather is needed, while there was
nothing to indicate any relief from
drought in west Texas. The situation
in this respect seemed to offset rather
disappointing Liverpool cables.
New Orleans Market.
NEW ORLEANS, May 25 LP.-Re-
ports of continued lack of rain in the
drought section of Texas and of too
much rain in the central belt where
not wanted sent the cotton market 10

soon after the opening today. July
traded up to 1910. October 1913 and
December 1890. The market was
quiet and steady at the end of the

The National Music league has just
sent out its report for 1929. It's
director, Harold Vincent Milligan, finds
that after two years Of = successful
operation of the league the work ac-
cornplished has entirely justified con-
fidence in the plan The object of
the league is to obtain musical en-
ployment for qualified musicians dur
ing the early stage of their careers.
The league bridges the gap which eX-
lists between debut days and the earn
ing of livelihood, and gives young
musicians a chance to win whatever
success their merits deserve. The
young artists are selected by COM
mittee which is highly exacting in its
requirements, and the booking depart
ment is as business-like and efficient
as any commercial managerial office.
In addition to getting engagements for
the chosen artists, each candidate,
whether accepted or not, receives a
written report giving the opinion OF
the Judges and constructive criticism
and helpful advice. The league is the
only group to which a young artist
may appeal for such expert and un-
biased critical opinion.

GAY NINETIES DANCE AT CLUB
TURNS TIME BACK THE NONCE.

sTllrn backward oh time in your
flight and make me a boy again
lust for. tonight" was the supposedly
impossible plea OF one of Americas
best beloved poets.
That is just what time did last
evening at the Country club when
a large number of members and
guests gathered for the gay nineties
dance and dinner.
Those who attended the dance
threw themselves into the spirit OF
the occasion and all the long lost
traits Of all era that was considered
just bit fast" were re-enacted.
Gentlemen in tight lifting trousers
and Prince Albert coats, with side
burns and a mustache were oncS
again the beau hrunmels OF yester-
year.
Ladies were carefully chaperoned
as was the custom so many years
ago. Sweeping skirts with not 80
much as a peep at an ankle end
outlandish bustles that once looked
lovely to grandma were the fall gowns
worn by the fairer sex.
The clubrOonnS themselves might
have been d nice country home in
that lavender era with staring p0r-
traits of club members in their young
er days adjoining the wall and a
Gibson girl here and there.
The small clubroom was: maGs up
: to resemble a parlor in the early
nineties with horsehair sofa and a
family album for amusement on the
Victorian table.
In Just such a setting as this did
grandpa doff his brown derby hat
and prepare to make himself at home
with the family album while he
scourted grandma. And perhaps old
dobin chaffed at her bit in just such
a night outside.
