STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN CREDIT SQUEEZE
Market Closes Firm After
Day of SelIing-Fa-
vcrites Bid Up.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
,cial Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. May 8.-Once again
today the stock market gave an as
tonishing demonstration of its indiffer-
ence to continued high money. Call
loans renewed at ID per cent and held
there all day. They had done the same
the day before.
Under the impression that the credit
stringency must have its effect. there
was heavy selling during the forenoon,
with a generally lower range of prices.
When the pressure was lifted, however,
sired liquidation was not appearing, the
market steadied and in the last hour
became decisively strong.
General Electric, above 262, at the
highest price for which the present
shares ever sold, furnished the leader
ship for the recovery. Consolidated Gas
shared the honors with General Electric,
and other tavorites we're Hudson Mo-
tors, the oil and the motor accessory
stocks.
An incident which disturbed the
market was the sharp break in Column
bia Graphophone directly at the start.
Overnight it had been announced that
negotiations between the Radio Corpo-
ration and Columbia had been broken
off, and this led to heavy offerings at
the opening. The initial price was 7212
for a block of 10000 shares at de-
cline of Az points from the preceding
close. From this point there were only
unimpcrtant rallies during the fore
noon.
Radio continued in supply. but met
with fairly good support around the
100 level. International Telephone d
Telegraph. old and new, which had
been so strong yesterday, had to absorb
realizing and reacted
Specialties were irregular. Warner
Bros. Pictures had a setback, notwith-
standing the statement of the president
that earnings we're running at record
rate and that for the current quarter
should be better than 81 a share
United Aircraft moved ahead, and so
did Radio-Keith-O rpheum. The mail
order stocks were lower during early
trading, but recovered partially after
wards.
The best showing was made by the
oils. which seemed to absorb selling
easily. This was true of Atlantic Re
filming, of Standard Oil of New Jersey
and of Standard Oil of California. In
the utility group Consolidated Gas stood
out steady while other stocks were
yielding. The leader of the sugars was
American Sugar Refining, in which
there was special buying with an adj
vance amounting to 4 points at one
time.

With the commissions order fixing
the present rates expiring June 80, the

At that time it was explained by
Harold E. West commission chairman,
that the company's earnings were good,

Of leases to holders Of oil prospect

reasonable expenditures in drilling

There are $4,000 permits affect

The senator holds the act Of April

The government also will grant

Erection Of New
Federal Building
Here Is Requested

Objection to the proposal Of the
federal government to remodel the
present federal building in Browns
vile and a request that the govern
ment appropriate $500,000 for the
erection of a new building were
contained in a resolution passed
Tuesday night by the board of di-
rectors of the Brownsville Cham
ber of Commerce.
A petition carrying the resolution
of the directors was being circu-
lated in Brownsville today and will
be forwarded to Representative
John N. Garner and Senators May
field and Connally. The petition
was presented to the Rotary club
at it's luncheon Wednesday noon,
and was signed by all members
present.
The postal department proposed
to expend $4,000 to remodel the
present structure, which was erect
ed in 1890. The directors Of the
chamber of commerce expressed
the view that the building would
prove inadequate to meet the needs
of the city.
