STOCK PRICE DROP
DECLARED HEALTHY
Bankers Not Concerned Over
Sharp Recessions of Last
Weeks Market.
BY JOHN b. SINCLAIR.


NEW YORK, May 5.-Saturdays
spectacular and violent decline in the
greatest trading Of any Saturday session
in the history of the New York Stock
Exchange brought distressed selling,
with thousands of marginal traders
again wiped out.
Forced liquidation was heaviest at the
beginning and at the close, supported
by the largest professional bear raid OF
the year.
The averages" dropped $50 points
the sharpest drop in the averages"
since December 40 Of last year, which
declined STA.
The bankers apparently are not
alarmed. Many Of them, away on week
end trips, could not be reached, but one
Of them expressed the opinion to this
writer: That the stock market drop
was healthy" and that there was no
occasion to re-establish the bankers
consortium" of last Fall.
Business Is improving, but 1t has not
recovered as much ground as many had
expected. The market has overdis-
counted conditions. It is overbought,
and correction, such as Is now taking
place, was to be expected" said this
banker in commenting on the situation.
what will happen on the stock mar
ket this week." asked one Of the most
experienced traders, who Is reported to
have come out of last Falls crash with
| a profit. -,
"Anybody's guess. Some will guess
one way and others will guess another"
was his reply. Personally. I look for
the market to decline the first part OF
the week, but the worst should be over
by the middle of this week."
Readers can check this guess OF an
experienced stock trader against their
own and see how good "guesser' he
really Is.
Some attribute the drop in stocks TO
the first quarterly statements that are
showing up rather badly-this, ana the
car loadings, which are at the poorest
for March since 1924. and the net rail-
road income, which was down 22.40 per
cent, the worst February in IL years;
Here are some of the comparative
figures of net profits Gin thousands) for

.H|GH-GRADE BOND
ISSUES ARE HEAVY
Market Affected by Decline
in Stocks-Credit Not
a Factor.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The bond
market was again more affected today.
It is being more affected by the decline
in stocks than by the contribution made
to it by the Federal Reserve in the form
of easier money.
This Is the first time that investment
securities have failed to respond at
once and in pronounced way, to cut
in the rediscount rates. Preparations
made last Wednesday for moving up
the market have been temporarily
abandoned, in view of the confused
conditions in speculative securities that
have since developed.
The postponement of the rise in
bonds may not be for any long period.
1t Is, nevertheless, discouraging to those
movement in the fixed interest rate Sc
curities on the basis of the cheap
money situation.
High-grade bonds that advanced on
Thursday and Friday have since re-
acted considerably, and were again
heavy today. In some cases the losses
were one-half to a point. The weakest
features, outside of the convertibles,
were among the junior rails. In this
llSC were QecllneS To-Day OF a pOlnC IN
st. Paul adjustment SIS, 1as in Rock
Island AVS, / In Missouri Pacific As,
y in Western Maryland As and SUBJ
stantial fractions in the old and new
Erie refunding SIS. A partial recovery
occurred later in a few of these issues.
Missouri Pacific SIS sold at a discount.
with the new IS In about the same po-
sition as were the new Erie IS week
ago that is, handicapped by the fact
that they are being held above the
market for the older issue.
Not much change took place In the
active industrials. Sugar issues were
soft, and 80 were the bonds of the coal
companies. Pathe Is declined 8 points,
and are IL points under the price to
which they advanced on the recent
rumor talk. Gotham Hose IS rose to
a new high for the year. The local
fractions went on losing ground.
The secondary decline that has oc-
Cured in foreign bonds has been most
conspicuous in the lower credits Of
South and Central America and South
eastern Europe. Some Of the former
were again heavy today. Germans, on
the other hand, have been quite steady,
as have French, italian and Scandi-
navian issues.

These are but fourteen Of the earn
ings Statements good sample. few
are showing up better than last year,
such as Bethlehem Steel, Caterpillar
Tractor, Kelvinator and United Bis
cuit-but the vast majority show the
reverse.
Apparently the stock market, even
with plenty of cheap money around, is
responding to the lower quarterly
profits.
While stock prices In the United
States have not responded to cheap
money, bond prices have Earlier in the
wear the bond market took a squirt after
the Federal Reserve discount rate had
been reduced successfully from 6a to 4
per cent. A Lag In the bond market
followed. and for the past 80 days the
market has been rather inactive.
Hence bond denominations have been
going on with bond dealers not particu-
larly happy over the strange turn Of
events. Had they not been waiting their
big chance for years?
But when the Bank Of England, out
of the clear sky on Thursday last, re-
duced its discount rate from 3h to
per cent, and New York followed suit,
the bond dealers were happy again.
Bond prices rose on considerable vol
ume of sales. Now 1t looks like an
active Summer for the bond market.

Mr.. Baruch does not believe that such

The suggestion is not new, but IL has
never been tried. It might work. But
any attempts to correct business condi-

what somber.
They have come to the parting Of ways over what

ne-a job.
True il has long been suspected that there was
about the same affinity between the two as exists
between oil and water. The rumbngs of the coming
war have been heard in the causc comments by their
camp followers.
Possibly the author Of the extraordinary work on
Craftsmanship and personality objected to the DUN
patronage Of the senate leader the attitude OF toer

1t may have irked the soul Of him who owes his
enninence to boss discredited now, and Governor
who pleaded the statute of limitations, to be consd-
cred merely the echo of the master Of intrigue From
such political parentage he might have believed that
his style was cramped by Watsonian sponsorship
Perhaps he believes that shipwreck faces Watson and
that sef-preservation demands that he be first to
leave a sinking ship.
At any rate the war is on. The selection OF Wat

HEALTH SERVICE

When the contents of the stomach
are examined, special attention is
paid to the amount of acid that is
present, the nature of the digestion
that has occurred and the rate of
secretion Of the acid as shown by
the different materials withdrawn.
Examinations also are made for
the presence Of bile, Of blood and OF
bacteria. Obviously such investiga-
tons yield matter of the greatest
Importance for the diagnosis Of the
various diseases that may affect the
stomach.
In ulcer of the stomach there
may be blood in the contents; the
examination with the Xray may
show a deforn1ity Of the outline of
the stomach.
In gallblaQder diseases, the evil

5ulting from Inflammation and de-
layed emptying of the stomach.
In cancer there is usually a

case. Blood is practically always
present when there is cancer, and
sometimes there are certain germs
which are usually associated with
cancer.
In pernicious anemia there usual
ly is an absence of the free hydro
chloric acid in the stomach.
From all of these observations
the physician makes his decision.
1t is not possible by the analysis
Of the stomach content alone to
make certain diagnosis, but it is
quite possible by combining the in
formation secured through the eX-
animation of the stomach contents
and through the study of the mo-
tons of the stomach to be rather
certain as to the conditions that
are present.
In this way, the laboratories aid
the clinical knowledge of the ply
sician, pointing toward the cause of
the symptoms and the methods to
be followed for their relief.
