STOCKS IN UPTURN
| AT SHORT SESSION
Market Shakes OFF Hesita.
ton After Opening and
Scores Gains.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, May 10.-A broad up
ward movement under way soon after
todays opening carried prices for lead
recent break. Trading was not in es-
pecially large volume, but it was marked
by a more confident tone than any
thing seen earlier this week.
The upswing was led by the electric
stocks and by the public utilities, but
it was not confined to them. All grades
of stock participated more or less, ex-
cept the rails, and these were not weak
but merely inactive.
General Electric, which had Jagged
behind Westinghouse Electric of late,
was taken in good-sized blocks at rising
prices. while Westinghouse ran up some
points Then attention turned to the
utilities. where Electric Power & Light
was the leader. This, it will be remem-
bered, was the stock that took 13-
point nose dive in one of the weak ses-
sions. 1t was up points in the first
hour today on a combination OF short
covering and new buying. This demon
stration was followed by sharp advances
in Columbia Gas, Standard Gas & Elec-
trio, Public Service, American g. Foreign
Power and other typical issues in this
part of the list.
Various industrial specialties devel-
oped strength. Food stocks were bid up
again, including Corn Products and
Borden. Amusement stocks were III de-
mand under the leadership of Warner
Bros Pictures. High-priced issues, like
]. 1. Case and Eastman Kodak, ran up
for substantial gains and, more intiu-
entail as to sentiment, United States
Steel sold at new high on the recovery
as 1t crossed ITO.
The speculative feature was radio
which retraced It's steps. passing the
SO mark, up almost points from its
low of Monday. Copper stocks made a
new top on the movement, although
the gains here were not large.
None of this strength could properly
be ascribed to any real change in
the business outlook. The weekly trade
reviews were only mildly optimistic.
Traders were more impressed by the
way in which stocks had resisted pres
sure on Friday and on the apparent
drying up of liquidation. 1t was felt
not only that the business depression
had been fully discounted in the mar
ket, but that stocks had been over
sold and were due for rally.

BY the Associated Press.

RUSSIAN FARMER
SHIELDED BY SOVIET
Peasants Urged to Plant Crops.
Terrorizing Tactics to Be
Discontinued.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RIGA, May 10.-To induce the peas
ants to resume work in the fields, the
Soviet government has just issued a
new decree prohibiting any terrorizing
tactics, according to Moscow reports
received here today.
The decree admits that Soviet tri-
bunals often have sentenced peasants
to death without conclusive proof of
their guilt as result of too active
Communist pressure on them. The
order also suspends all sentences i'm
posed in the last month for unreturned
wheat seed, untitled fields and untrans-
ported lumber.
During the last six weeks there has
been scant sowing of crops in Soviet
Russia, despite fair weather. In no
district has there been sufficient
plows, sowing machines and tractors,
while seed itself is also lacking, par
ticularly in the Moscow district. In
more than half of the grain area the
Soviets must rely on the individual
farms for the crops, yet these later
in sowing even than the collective
farms because the peasants were not
sure which land was theirs and which
was collective.

tThis is the twenty first Of series Of
principal Oil stocks. The intent is not to
recommend the purchase or sale OF any
such information as may enable him
inteligently to chart his own course)
Said to be the largest manufacturer
of gasoline in the world and one of the
leading organizations in the petroleum
trade, Standard Oil of Indiana reported
for 1929 the highest net income i'll it's
history. Reduced to share basis, net
profits applicable to the capital stock
were equal to $4.66 per share.
The net income in the statement of
$78, 499, 754 compares with $77,337, 166
for 1923, which was record up to that
time. but in the latter year revenues
included an extra cash dividend OF
sci 1921 $40 from Midwest Refining Co.,
wholly owned subsidiary, whereas IN
1929 the extra dividend from this
source was only $3,118,065, SO that last
years results were really more favor
able than appeared on the surface.
This increase was effected in period
of DEPRESSION in the oil trade and testi-
fies to the great strength OF the COM
pany. The larger profits came partly
from a greater volume OF sales and
partly from larger returns from invest
ments. The balance sheet as OF De-
cenber 81 last revealed the usual
strong position in that all current La
bilities totaled SAC, 444, 029, and against
this the item under current assets OF
cash, Government securities and mis-
cellaneous investments" was Sl22'-
692, PAS. ;.
Standard Oil of Indiana has no di-
rect funded debt, but it guarantees, IN
effect, Jointly with Sinclair Oil, S42,-
600 900 of Sinclair Crude OIL Purchas-
ing 515 per cent notes maturing In
1888. There is only one class OF stock
which is of $25 par value. The present
dividend rate is $2.50 annually plus eX-
tras. Standard Oil of Indiana holds
about 80 per cent of Pan-American
Petroleum common and class B
shares. The stockholders recently APP
proved an increase in authorized capi-
tai stock from 10 100000 shares to 90
600 900 shares to provide for expansion.
Taking the regular cash dividend only,
the stock sells in the open market to
Weld between and Az per cent Whlcn
is reasonable for Standard Oil STOCK.
The records show that patient inves-
tors in the stock Of this group have al
WAYS been rewarded, although they
NAV have had to see the market price
of their security temporarily depressed
in the meantime.
