country it will be a partial eclipse
In states using Pacific time the eclipse will be-
gin about $40 M, in Mountain states about II M,

about p M, according to their respective times
An eclipse of the is caused by the

tons of the moon, exacness in predicting the time of
eclipse involves highly complicated mathematical

The Washington times., 1930-11-25
By LEWIS HANEY

Director NetO York University
Bureau OF Business Research
and Former Economist OF
Federal Trade Commission
The stock market made no
progress last week. The average
price of stocks was just about the
same at the close on Saturday as
it was a week preceding. Repre-
sentative industrial stocks closed
a little lower. So did the utilities.
The rails were about the only
important group to gain any
ground during the week. But this
was the result of one-day squirt,
which looked like a speculative
manoeuver, and succeeded in
causing little short covering.
Bonds DisappOint
Bonds continued to give diSap-
pointing performance, and closed
the week lower than at the be-
ginning.
Money is cheap, but those who
have it do not want to tie it up
in long-term investments. They
may talk bulliSh. When they be-
gin to buy bullish we will listen.
The action of the stock market
last week suggests that techni-
cal rally in a bear market has
gone about as far as it can get.
This rally has been purely a
technical affair, for there has been
no improvement in fundamental
conditions to support it.
Artificial Attempts
The attempts to bull the copper
stocks, and then the rails, were
obviously very artificial. AS an
ticipated, the price Of copper is
back to 1912 cents pound. There
was nothing new in the rail Situ-
alton, and the passing of the diVi-
dend on the preferred stock of the
st. Louis and Southwestern was

POlUer Revenues Up
For Tenth Month

For the tenth consecutive
month during 1880 American
Commonwealth Power Corpora
ton reports an increase in gross,
net and earnings per share, be-
fore and after depreciation, for
the 12-months period ended Oc-
tober 81, 1890. All figures con-
stitute new high records for the
corporation for all times.
The gross revenues for the year
ended October 81, 1880, amounted
to $27 ,809,76 a gain of $4,448,-
O20. Net increase, after operat-
ing expenses. including mainte-
nance and general taxes, totaled
$13, 3,164,627. as compared with
$40, O,195,578, an increase of $780,
049, or 20 per cent.

s. Cal. Edison Budget
S28,OOO,OOO for 1881

r. H. Ballard, president OF the
Southern California Edison Com
pany, has announced that the
budget for construction in 1881
was in excess of $4,000, 900, COM
pared with $23, 100000 this year
and $29, 100000 in 1929. A gain
of between 7 and 10 per cent in
electric production was looked
for next year, he said.
One of the largest items IN the
budget is the installation OF an
other giant turbine at a cost OF
$500, 900. A new administration
building will cost 1926, 600.

that the worst of the banking
situations in the interior have
been Strengthened out.
Here's a clean one. 'Tis said a
pool has begun working in con-
Solidated laundrieS.
There has been some inside
buying of American Commercial
Alcohol on the anticipation that
the company will develop real
earnings next year. Inventory
losses and price cutting played
hob with profits this year.
United Gas Corporation and
American Super Power, both on
the curb, look like attractive low
priced Speculations, but wait for

Little Reason Is Seen for
Extending Rally

a reminder that the carriers as a
group are a long way from re-
CoVery.
Another point worth noticing
Is that, broadly speaking, the
trend of trading activity has been
downward all through the rally.
This fact does not suggest that
the move will go much further.
Loans Continue Drop
The same thing may be said
about brokers' loans. These have
continued to decline in spite Of
higher prices, which suggest that
the recovering was based on COW
ering purchases by shorts" Ger
tainly no speculative following on
the part Of the public has been
attracted.
There will be no sustained re-
covery till the business news be-
comes really favorable. Last week
We learned of new low levels in
our total exports, in the rate OF
steel production, in electric power
production, and in commodity
price averages. AS long as the
commodity price averages con-
tinue to say and bond price aver
ages make no progress, what can
We expect of the stock market?
Postpone Buying
would now postpone all pur-
chases. The market may hold up
a few days more, but the chances
favor worthwhile concessions be-
fore long.
Don't pay any attention to how
high a price was last spring or
last year. Those times are gone.
A dozen of the most prominent
stocks still pay less than 4 per
cent at present prices and even
though any others are fairly
priced, the unSOund position of
the old leaders" is likely to af-
feet the market.

knowledge that the $4 dividend

I am told insiders are bullish

or so. They point out that Fox's
500, 900, 900 investment in LOeW's
Inc, is only returning about 2
per cent, and that this could cas-
lily be increased since LoeW'S is a
real money-maker. Then there
is: the big investment in British

ginning to show results. Finally,
higher profits are expected to ac-
crue from domestic operations of

Low Sneed for Mart


One thing that has taken away
some of the fear that the market
will run into another bust
before long is the cautious way
stocks have advanced in the last
two weeks. If a powerful group
Is putting stocks up to help Senti-
ment and business, as is gen
orally believed, 1 congratulate
them on their action.
A sharp splurge OH the upside
would very likely have proved
its own undoing and worked
more harm than good. AS it is,
stocks are going along safely
and sanely, pointing toward sta
bilization. The pools, too, are
falling in line, and it has been
noticeable the past few days
that, while certain stocks were
obviously being marked up, this
was done in very wary manner.
So to Montgomery Ward. The
stock went higher yesterday. but
l. can't see any reason for a
further advance now. 1 am told
the big Chicago operator is work
ing in the stock. The facts of
the case state very bluntly that
Montgomery Ward will do well
to end up the year without a
deficit. While I am bullish on
the stock for the long pull,
wouldn't follow this move.
