NEW YORK. March 29.-No matter
which phase Of industry may develop
next, it is a foregone conclusion that
electricity will continue to play an I'M
portant part in the new development, as
1t has in the past.
Radio, talking movie, railroad cleo
IRRIGATION, airplane and marine devel-
opments have become more and more
dependent upon electricity and electri-
fication methods. 1t is obvious, there
fore. why the stocks of electrical man
ufacturing companies continue to in
crease in value more rapidly than
stocks of most companies.
General Electric.
The General Electric Co, the largest
manufacturer and distributor of cleo
trical appliances and machinery in the
world, has shown steady growth ever
since its organization. IS years ago.
Through subsidiaries in this country
and through International General
Electric abroad it does business all over
the world Being a pioneer in the in
dustry, the company had many excel
lent investment opportunities which
have since proved most valuable
One of the most striking examples of
this is the Electric Bond & Share Co,
winch was segregated from General
Electric in 1924. Each holder of Gen
eral Electric stock was given one share
in the new company for every share
held. This stock recently sold for $3.50
share. Another advantageous invest
ment has been Radio Corporation, whose
stock at current prices is worth about
SO for every share Of General Electric
The company has similar invest
mentS throughout the electrical indus
try which, though valuable, are carried
on the books at very conservative fig
ures. The market value of Radio alone
exceeds the total of all investments
listed. The speculative possibilities of
every part of the industry undoubtedly
were a stimulus to the trading which
tripled the price of the company's stock
within two years. An additional factor

TRADERS CHEERED
BY EASIER CREDIT.
Sudden Drop in Money Rates
Restores Confidence
to Street.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.
snatch 10 The Star,

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Wall Street
left on its extended week end holiday
after the close of the stock market yes
terday soothed by a convincing demon
stration of strength in prices and signs
that normal credit conditions were de-
veloping. as far as the day-to-day call
loan market was concerned.
Calm confidence seemed to have re-
placed the hysteria produced by the
sensational successive advances in
money rates from 9 per cent renewal
figure at the beginning of the week to
20 per cent day later, the dearest Dor
rowing cost in nine years. The strong
pressure against the excessive use of
speculative loans which such condition
indicated brought about drastic liqui-
dation of all classes of securities and
a situation very nearly resembling de-
moralization.
At the close of the trading week the
outstanding incident was sudden re-
Taxation of the money reins as banks
came to the rescue. Funds which had
been difficult to borrow even at the
prohibitive 20 per cent level, were
freely offered and were obtained at 8
per cent in the open markte.
The fact that the recovery in the
market started with the cost of capital
higher than it has been since 1920
showed that this alone will not dis
courage the public or the professional
stock market trader from buying stocks
purely for money-making purposes. 1t
must be borne in mind IN the final
analysis of the money strain that end
of-the-month settlements were a factor
in maintaining rates at their high
levels. However. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that lower rates will prevail
next week.

CREDIT SITUATION
is DECLARED SOUND

Uncertainty over the credit situation
and concern over brokers' loans are ap-
parently being overemphasized, accord
ing to Gage P Wright, New York
economist, in a review of authoritative
opinion on the credit situation in the
current issue Of the Business Economic
Digest.
The credit situation in the minds of
many investors and spectators is as
Stunning an importance which is believed
by many 10 be considerably out OF pro-
portion with its actual significance"
Mr.. Wright states.
Many authorities emphasize the fact
that there is great deal Of difference
between high money rates and a search
ty of credit. 1t should be remembered
that it is an actual shortage of available
credit rather than high interest rate
that indicates real danger to speculation
in securities.
During the last major bear market
in securities. experienced in 1920 and
1921, interest rates were high, but at
that time there was also an actual
shortage of credit. Money was not
available even at high rates and on the
most liquid collateral. At present money
is available for commercial purposes in
almost unlimited amounts at what may
be considered fairly reasonable rates.
moreover, Win one or TWO possible eX-
ceptions, there are as yet no definite
signs of speculation IN the commodity
market such as would indicate a gen.
eral building up of inventories, thereby
creating an actual shortage Of credit.
On the whole, therefore, 1t seems as
though the uncertainty over the credit
situation and concern over brokers
loans are being overemphasized"
Mr.. Wright points out that securities
usually reach their peak during the
phase Of business prosperity called in
fiation, and suggests that authoritative
opinion will indicate probable down.

Westinghouse Electric.
Westinghouse, the second largest
manufacturer of electrical equipment,
has been expanding rapidly into the
foreign held in recent years. 1t has
lately announced even more aggressive
expansion plans along many different
lines. Westinghouse, unlike General
Electric. formerly avoided expansion
into allied interests of the industry and
concentrated on engineering work. Now,
however, with Mellon interests becom-
ing more actively identified with the
company, 1t has announced many new
plans. The forerunner of this change
IN policy is the trebling of the COM
Dany's newspaper advertising expendi-
ture for next year.
Westinghouse also owns an interest
in Radio Corporation and together
with General Electric manufacturers
apparatus for the Radio Corporation.
The company has always been agrees
sive In the matter of research, trait
which made 1t a pioneer in the talking
movies and the transmission of pic
lures by radio. In the electrical In
dustry as a whole. and with this COM
pany in particular. there is always a
possibility that the research depart
ment by producing an impartant in
vention may make substantial contri-
buttons to earnings.
Because Westinghouse has not spread
into other fields so extensively as Gen
eral Electric 1t is somewhat easier to
estimate the earnings of the company
Reports show average earnings Of 81
a share for the past five years, with

Is amply covered.
During the past few years the finan-
cial position Of the company has been
greatly improved by blowing back earn
ings into the company. writing off in
tangible items on the balance sheet
and retiring bonds The company, being
we'll fortified with cash and current
assets and having expanded production
facilities to take care of increased bust
ness, is in a position to pay larger re-
turns to stockholders when ever it
seems desirable.
These two leading electrical manu-
featuring stocks move closely together,
as the chart shows. In the past the
greater speculative attractiveness of
General Electric has caused that stock
to move over a wider range. Both
stocks are affected by the general
market swings and probably will con-
tinue to be, even though they increase
steadily In value as the industry grows.
Unlike most industries which have their
heyday and then settle down to a nor
NAL growth, the electrical industry; will
assist every new industrial development
and will thereby be promoting Its own
interests and prosperity.

$162 a share would have been added
to 1923 earnings Thus General Elec-
tries actual earnings might be more
nearly $40 a share than the SITS re-
ported. The possibilities Of future earn

the electrical industry.
The company has been paying 81 In
regular dividends and last year paid
50 in extras. making a total of Sc. At
current prices. this is yield of only
259c. Since the company is thus pay
ing out large proportion of the SITS

to rise substantially very soon. The
company's business will unquestionably

profits have shown a gradual rise for
many years, averaging $5.74 for the past
six years and reaching $715 last year.
Like many companies with very con-

earnings do not tell the whole story. 1t
