STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN TRADER MARKET
Price Trends Shift Rapidly.
Easier Money Rates Aid
Market.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, May Price trends
shifted frequently in today's stock mar
ket as trading became more orderly and
further readjustments after its recent
upheaval were completed.
After moderate extension of yester-
days gains at the opening. the market
was subjected to heavy profit taking,
encouraging moderate resumption OF
short selling during the morning, but
prices stiffened after the realizing was
absorbed, and speculation for the rise
was resumed with vigor around mid
day, only to run into further profit TAX
ing and short selling as trading pro-
crossed.
Credit Easier.
The rally was aided by further cheap
ening Of credit, rejecting last weeks re-
duction Of the New York rediscount rate.
Freight car loading, as reported for the
week ended April Is, showed an in
crease of 1928 cars from the previous
week. but were 144,711 under the same
week of 1929, and lowest for the period
In six years.
Speculative sentiment appeared to
have improved considerably with the
major market reaction apparently COM
pleted. Brokers, however stressed the
possibility of a substantial secondary
reaction developing during the next few
days. Reports to banking institutions
generally are said to indicate that May
earnings will show some improvement
over April, and the second quarter ap-
pears to be making fair progress in
business recovery, but speculative
optimism is somewhat qualified. as Sec
ond quarter earnings are likely to be
far below the same period of last year.
During the midday rally, such shares
as Eastman Kodak, Westinghouse Elec-
trio, Worthington Pump, Chesapeake &
Ohio, Loews, American Water Works,
American and United Aircraft sold up
8 to 8 points, but these gains generally
failed to hold.
Losses Recorded.
In the steel shares, United States
Steel, Colorado Fuel, Vanadiunl, A. NJ.
Byers and Crucible lost to points,
the last named touching new low for
the year. American Tobacco B and j.
I. Case, spectacularly buoyant yesterday,
lost about and 8 points during the
morning. Mack Truck and Canada Dry
dropped to new low levels, rejecting I'M
favorable earnings statements for the
first quarter. Electric Auto Lite sagged
a few points, despite favorable review
Of the company's position by its presi-
dent.
