TRADE FOR EASTER
IN HEAVY VOLUME
Industry, However, Slowed
Down by Holidays 10
Some Extent.
ny j. G. RnYLE.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Eas-
ter holiday was the dominating in
fiuence in commercial and Industrial
circles this week. Retail trade al
ready has surpassed the Easter
volume of 1925 in many cities, ac-
cording to reports received by tele-
graph today. This is true even in
the South and some sections of the
West. where the agricultural situa-
ton has caused some encouragement.
Industry, on the other hand. has
been slowed down by the holiday to
slight extent. The Easter demand for
both women's and mems apparel has
resulted in a marked expansion of
manufacture. The trend of the de-
mand for Summer apparel however.
is still undetermined and depends
largely on weather conditions. The
cotton mills are apparently well
booked. in most instances. and wooden
mills are showing increase interest
in raw wool offerings Bids below the
range at which unclipped wool was
contracted for earlier I'm the season

Market Has Two Sides.

1t VIII be necessary for some time
to separate the stock market into two
parts, the one composed of shares of
an investment character and of com.
panies that have been accommodating
large cash resources and still have
good business prospects, and the
other identified with shares that have
more or less gone up with the others.
but have today no outstanding merit.
The first group will continue to be
affected favorably by cheap money,
and the second by whatever turn
there may be this year in the coun-
try's business and political tides. 1t
is conceivable that we may have
throughout 1927 strong group of in.
vestment stocks and disorganized
group of speculative stocks.
If the first conclusion Is accurate,
then it must also be true that bonds
and preferred stocks will seek q level
considerably higher than that of to-.
day. There has seldom been so little
conflict of opinion over the probable
course Of long term mortgage bonds
as there is now,

Long Term Bonds in Demand.

One of the largest of the New York
national banks, in Analysing its bond
list recently. discovered that 25 per
cent of It embraced bonds with a ma.
turity of less than 10 years. The
management Of this bank believed so
strongly in higher prices that Ii sold a
fair portion of the short maturities
and purchased corresponding
amount of long ones

recent time increased it's holding of
United States Government bonds to

A week ago in this review some
prices were given of railroad stocks
as they stood in the big bull market
of 1906. That market did not have
SO much relation to easy money as
1t did to the winding up of a 10.year
period OF reorganization and national
prosperity following the depression In
the '90s. In 1901 and 1902 there was
a period of very high bond prices.
based almost entirely on abundant
money supplies, and as the money
conditions then were quite similar to
those obtaining today and likely to
continue for some time, 1t is interest
ing to compare the two periods as
guide post along the route Of the in
vestor.

Building Falls OF.

strike has had little effect recently on
industrial conditions. since the flow
Of fuel from the non-union fields has
been large and steady. Anthracite

output only slightly. Possible amalga-
nation of three large Midwest steel
concerns has given an added touch of
interest to the situation, since II
would mean formation of another
very strong independent producer.
Automobile retail sales have in
creased and factory production of a
number of companies has been
stepped up in consequence. Reduction
in stocks of copper has had the effect
of speeding up sales to some extent,

Lumber is extremely steady both as

demand for box purposes is aiding the
producers and is a fine indication of
the extent of the industrial activity at
present.
Grain Moving Down Lakes.
In some sections the fruit crops
have been somewhat damaged and
yields will be lower than anticipated.
This, however, will not entirely dis.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April 16.--Carried
along by the momentum and prestige
of nearly two months of rising mar.
ket values, stocks this weeE established
themselves on a price plateau above
that witnessed by the present Wall
Street generation.
There were.. however, clear signs
of a change in speculation sentiment
as well as a growing resistance to
the advance.
1t is true that relief was experienced
from the wholesale declines in the
stocks OF newly established indus
tries and of others that are going
through an overproduction cycle.
These declines were very unsettiing
in the early April market. Further
more, the general average during the
week advanced about points, carry
ing it to a level 80 points above that
of 1920. There was, however, less
confidence in the attack of the leaders
for the rise, a disposition to pause
for while and appraise the factors
in the general business situation, and
very decided shifting of the load OF
stocks from the professional element
to the public

Crowd Hears Lecturer
Discuss Negro Question

A large crowd heard Carl Bran
min, white, socialistic writer and
newspaper correspondent in a lecture
Sundsy nieht at the Labor Temple,
subject, "What Will We Do About
the Negro" The speaker discussed
the attitude of labor unions toward
Negroes and flayed the opposition of
white workers to admit black workers
into their organizations. Brannin, 4
native of Dallas, Texas, gave true
picture of tho conditions surrounding
Negroes in the south and cited many
cases of injustice. The speaker made
an eloquent plea that justice be ac-
corded Negroes. Throughout his lee
ture Brannin showed he was in SYM
pathy with the colored people in their
attempts TO better their economic
life. He demonstrated he was famil-
iar with Negro leaders and organi-
cations for the betterment of their
race. Following the lecture an open
forum was held in which several lc-
cal colored citizens took part The
lecture was under auspices of the La
Dor College which holds meetings ev-

INSECT ADoRNMENTs

At the Mayfair tea party, many nersons were interested in a brown velvet hat worn by New Year de- butante, the soft crown of which was held down at one side by big bum- ble bee. It is typical of the insect craze which is one of Enghsh 1ash- ions latest vagaries. Bees, dragon flies and other insects in realistic colors and shapes, fixed in the front or at the side of the hat, are much in favor. Some of these hat insects are modelled in rich enamel. some times when a bee is worn on the nat another bee is fixed on the coat lapel instead of the stereotyped flower.
