STOCKS IRREGULAR
. IN HEAVY TRADING
Drop in Call Money to 3 1-2
Per Cent Aids BuIIiSh
Sentiment.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, April Frequent
shifts of speculative sentiment charac-
terized today's stock market, with a
sharp upward tendency developing in
the afternoon on the lowering of the
call money rate from 4 to 312 per cent.
Bear traders made repeated efforts to
unsettle the general list by hammerilg
some of the public utilities, steels and
specialties, but they made little heal
way, as new leaders were 1nVariaEl ~
brought forward in other sections o.
the list to revive bullish enthusiasm.
Trading was in fairly heavy volume,
averaging more than a million shares
an hour in the early trading. Several
blocks of 5000 to 40, 900 shares changed
hands during the session.
Except for the apparent settlement
Of the Fox Film controversy through
the sale of the William Fox holdings
of voting stock, there was little news
over the week end to influence market
sentiment; while business news con-
tinueS spotty, many observers were in
clined to the opinion that powerful
financial interests were committed to
the side of higher stock prices in order
to facilitate the many merger deals
now pending, and to help improve busi-
ness sentiment. Although several con-
sentative houses have urged profit TAX
ing in trading lines and caution in the
making of new commitments, none of
them openly advocates short selling at
this juncture.
Fox Film jumped 99s points on the
first sale, but lost nearly half its gain
in the heavy profit-taking which
followed.
New high records for the year were
established by more than so stocks. the

only one to bid and make six hearts
on the hand and it was his first
game of duplicate contract.
The correct bidding on the hand
would stop at four hearts, in which
case I would have opened the jack

four odd.
The declarer then asked me how
I would bid the hand and I quickly

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Charges of

In each of the chief industries of

and South would carry the bid to
two spades.
This would show more than nor
NAL length in spades. West would
pass, North bid three hearts, East
pass, South four hearts, showing
normal support in hearts, West
pass, North five diamonds.
South now can reason that for
North to have doubled, he must
hold at least the ace and king Of
hearts, the ace and king of dia-
monds, or the ace of diamonds and
the ace of spades, and should there
fore bid five spades. North'S bid
of six spades would be just a little
bold.
Vests proper opening is the
king of clubs, dummy plays the
singleton nine, East should play
the four of clubs and declarer the
eight of clubs.
West now should shift to the jack
of spades. If the declarer positively
knew that the queen of hearts was
in the West hand, small slam
could be made almost any way, but
he must provide for the worst kind
of distribution.

What West was trying to do was
to make an informative double, but
even if South had bid two spades,
West should not make an informa-

bid three clubs.
With North's holding, if South
had bid two spades, I would be
