RECOVERY
SURPRISES TRADE.
Brokers' Loans Still Prob
Iem-Shares Too High on
Earnings Basis.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Special Disnatch TO The Star.

Special Disnatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 22.-With
business suspended for the holiday,
financial interest revolves around the
status of the stock market. The re-
covcry yesterday went much further
than had been generally anticipated.
Admitting that the big break Monday
and last week made some sort OF rally
inevitable, nevertheless the gain on
the average was surprising. The ques-
ton now in whether the large new
short interest having been driven IN,
the market will resume the advance or
sag Off again.
1t is no secret that the banking
authorities are anxious to see the
total of brokers' loans reduced. They
have long felt that speculation has been
carried to an extravagant height and
that curb was needed. This was the
commonly accepted explanation OF the
rise in the Federal Reserve discount
rates. II that action should prove in
effective In moderating the speculative
spirit some other means will have to
be adopted.
Meanwhile, there Is an abundance Of
funds available for stock market use
Money dropped to per cent for new
loans yesterday, and with credit obtain
able on such easy terms the average
trader is not likely to worry about the
loan total.
More fundamental of course, is the
relation Of prices to earnings. On this
basis the market is still too high
Yields, at least on industrials. cannot
be regarded as attractive from the in
ycstment standpoint. The reply that
stocks are discounting continued growth
in their respective industries Is only
sound If the industrial outlook Is inn
proving. AS to that. testimony Is con-
iiicting. The improvement in the steel
trade has had no correspondence in the
non-ferrous metals. Railroad earnings
for January. as far as they have ap-
peared, reveal no distinct trend. Gross
is generally lower, but in some cases
operating economies have made 1t pos
sible to save a larger amount for net.
The commodity price situation leaves
much to be desired. The best that can
be said of cotton Is that for the present
the market seems stabilized around the
low point. There is no betterment in
sugar and no solution of the over
production problem in oil.
