In the Stock Market
BY Thomson & McKinnon)


NEW YORK. April i9.-One of the best
arguments Tor the strength of the tech
nical position of the market was found
today in the manner in which it resisted
what was considered would be the natural
effect of the failure of the reparatons
conference to find basis for compromise
It NAV have been that the markets dis
regard of this was due to the more hope
full tone Of later cables and press COM
ment. but the TACT remains that the
strength of Thursday was almost untnter-
rupted. This was particularly true of the
standard investment issues, where the
statement Of a leading New York banker
called attention TO the manner in which
they are being held to avert heavy income
tax payments, and to the oils and steels,
where earnings. conservation plans and the
proposed plan of the Bethlehem Com
panv to follow in the footsteps of the
United States Steel Corporation in the
matter OF retiring funded debt outweighed
conditions Of credit and other adverse in
1uences. In view of this resistance to IN
favorable news items. and to the OPP
position to sustained strength imposed
by credit restrictions. little can be looked
for in the wav of decisive action in the
immediate future. The market gives every
indication Of desire to respond to the
strong position OF underlying forces, but
this desire is likely to be modified until
the financial situation is ironed out.
