OLD GOLD CHALLENGES AND
WINS In CIGARETTE TEST

Challenging the statement appearing in the
columns of The RECORD of February 26 that
Williams men have distinct preference for
----- cigarettes proven by the fact
that that brand outsels competitors in local
shops, the Old Gold company last Friday after
noon conducted one of its famous concealed
\ name tests" at Williams As a result, Williams
81 has joined the growing list of colleges and uni
, versities which have given Old Gold plurality
in such a contest, for out of the 234 votes cast,
the challenging brand received Sc first choices,
while two other leading makes could do no more
than tie for second place with 50 votes apiece,
and a fourth prominent brand received SO
preferences.
Recent tests at Princeton, Yale, Johns Hop
kins, University of Michigan, University of Hi
nois, and Ohio State also proved that Old Gold,
at least when masked is the favorite with col
| legiate smokers, while at Harvard the contest
| was lost by three votes.
To admit no unfarness into the test, each
| brand of cigarette denoted by of five
possible numbers, stamped on the black band
concealing the name, so that comparison of num-

the corporation are nearly four times

: The incident emphasizes the necessity
faced BY borrowers at the present time
of setting up their bond issues in form
that gives the buyer some speculative

The most significant point brought
out is the great tendency for stocks to

NEW YORK. January Silt Is diff
cult to estimate the future of the stock
market with any great precision, be-
cause it is not problem of facts and
figures alone. A most important factor
influencing the market at all times is
the personal equation or the psychology
of the great group Of investors. each
with his own personal reason for buy
ing or selling little or much. ANY one
attempting to read into the future of
the market must take the fancies and
consideration.
Few facts are available t5 help the
day-to-day trader. It is known, how
ever, that on certain days OF the week
buying is usually more aggressive than
on other days.

HOURLY STOCK PRICES

somewhat on Tuesday and Wednesday.
but on Thursday there is a pronounced
tendency for stocks to rise On this day
the market rose in almost four cases out
of five.
AS rule, on Friday the buying kept
we'll above the average but on Saturday
there was usually decided change Of
sentiment. The market often showed
heavy selling. On Saturdays only SO
per cent of the time stocks rose. while
they fell GA per cent of the time.
While such a study as this fails to
fit large number of cases where I'M
foreseen developments upset the normal
situation, at the same time IL Is i'm
portant to know that if news develop
ments are favorable the market has the
best chance to rise on Thursdays and
Fridays, and that there will ordinarily
be heavy proflt-taking on Saturdays.
Equilibrium.
Both the industrials and the rails
have been trying since the middle Of
November to reach new high levels, but
on the whole no real progress has been
made. AS is always the case In such a
situation, individual issues have been
forced forward beyond their November
highs, but at the same time so many
stocks are now lower that general aver
age has made no advance over the Mo-
vember figure! This signifies that bull
ish sentiment Is today at an equilibrium
with bearish sentiment
1t Is so difficult in such times to esti~
mate the probable future of the market
that most experienced traders exercise
caution. They are especially careful to
cut down speculative commitments until
stocks either rise or fall from present
levels. The market itself will give the
trader his next cue and 1t is hopeless to
argue with prices.
In the meantime such worries are of
no concern to the investors who have
purchased investment stocks outright
and are content to ignore the errfes |
trend of prices in holding their
for the long pull

Normal Tendencies.

The following table, based on the
movements of the market during the
past six months, shows what percentage
of the time stocks usually rose or de-
clined on the different days. It should
be remembered that during this particu-
lar period the market as a whole was
rising very rapidly. so that it Is natural
TO expect a majority of the days to show
a rising tendency. AS matter Of fact,
the market rose so per cent of the days
and declined 40 per cent.
