NEW YORK. April 9.-Trading
on the Stock Exchange for the
weekend maintained the recently IA
miliar characteristics of a simulta-
neous bull and bear market. Stocks
benefiting from improving trade con-
ditions continued to display note
worthy strength. New highs on the
movement were reached by Dupont,
Chesapeake & Ohio and other recent
leaders of the railroad and in
dustrial divisions. Sharp advances
also took place in special issues like
Freeport Texas, United Drug and
Commercial Solvents r.
While these shares were pushing
ahead with great vigor, equally ag-
gressive selling proceeded in stocks
suffering from unfavorable earnings
situation. including the oils, the bak-
ing shares and the packing issues.
These two-sided movements gave the
general list a decidedly mixed APP
pearance and transactions ran well
above million shares for the two
hour session.
With the weekly bank statements
emphasizing the large supply Of
credit available for business and in
vestment purposes and the reliable
barometers of trade pointing to an
unprecedented industrial and COM
mercial turnover for this sea-
son, bearish operations were held in
restraint and constructive opera
tons went ahead with undiminished
vigor in the market leaders.

In the Cotton Market
(By Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK April 9.-In the face of
a poor Liverpool market, cotton acted well
in New York this morning. The weather
map showed heavier and more general
on the part of traders to take the long
side of cotton. Not molly because of
weather conditions. but because of the re-
sistance TO selling which the market has
shown for the last week. We have reached
a point where climatic conditions will
bring great force to bear on the market
and with that idea before us il is natural
just at present to be prepared for a high
er market on the continuance of anything
like the present unfavorable weather con-
ditions. On a further advance. however
sales might be undertaken with the idea
Of securing profits upon the temperance
of fair weather.
