BONDS SHOW GOOD
 SALES RESPONSE
Favorable Reaction to Lower
 Money Rates Seen Today

New York, May ? GPl-Bonds felt the influence of favorable condi- tions in the money market in the earlier trading today and continued the upward trend.
 Following the reduction in the rediscount rate by the principal central banks, call money renewed at l.: per cent today and there was further easing in time accom- modations.
 Approaches Lowest Ebb
 There was an impression in some , quarters that money was approach ing it's lowest point since the nine- ties and that the present situation closely paralIeled that of 1924 when the New York discount rate was per cent and call money averaged between two and 1-2 per cent during the summer months.
 It was believed that the Federal Reserve banks action in cutting the rediscount rate yesterday was with the hope that it would ease general credit providing a stimulus to bond buying. The market today showed the effects of this influence to moderate degree but sales during the early trading did not equal yes terdays.
 There vas d good demand for strong investment issues. Stock privilege bands which have been bearish in sympathy with stocks showed a mixed tendency. Ameri- can Telephone 4hs and Interna- tional Telephone 4ks continued to lose ground but fractional advances were made by Baltimore and Ohio 4hs, Texas Co. 5s. and Warner Bros. Pictures 6s.
 Utilities Move Up
 Utilities moved up fractionally on thin sales. including American Tele- phone 5s of 50. Pacific 5s and Utah Light & Power 5s
 The broad demand for the strong est railroad liens were reflected in moderate gains. Joining in the movement were Atchison General 4s, Baltimore 6, Ohio refunding 5s. Nickel Plate A 512s Missouri Pa cifc 5s "F'' and TT, and Western Maryland, which gained from 3-8 to + point.
 European issues were the most popular Of the foreign bonds, and the British 5As, German Republic Is and Belgium Is '55 moved up fractionally.
 Considerable activity was shown In [. s. governments, with Liberty 4th f 1-4s gaining 5-32ds to lead the advance.

Stock Market Swamped Today In Flood of Sales Orders In Spite of
 Record Low Federal Reserve Rate
3 Per Cent, Only Touched Once Before In History, Fails to Halt Downward Wave - Rallies Appear, However, Toward Noon.

New York, May GP-The stock market vas swamped with another flood Of selling today. paradoxical as such acton may seem after reduC- ton in the New York federal reserve reolscount rate to as low level as ir has ever reached. and President Hoover's encouraging report of na- tionWide progress in industrial and financial readjustment since the autumn crash.
 Better Support Appears
 Powerful support appeared for pivotal shares by early afternoon. however, and substantial rallies ap- peared.
 Selling was in large volume dur ing the morning, the ticker falling considerably in arrears. Wall street is now inclined to the belief that important banking interests have been willing to see the recent spec ulative enthusiasm for stocks squelched by a good reaction, to pre- pare the bond market for an inter national separations loan, but if this IS true, 2, reaction too severe would defeat their purposes. Successful f7otation of the separations loan would hold promise of helping to re- vlye world wide trade conditions.
 While the lower rediscount rate IS q favorable augury for business gen. orally, so far as the long-range view ir.r That 1t is in a mea sure a reflection Of the scant demand for commercial loans, which reflects slow business gener ally, and there is feeling in some quarters that bidding up stocks on ltdiscount rate reductions, a tradi tional procedure in the past, amounts to putting the cart before the horse. If it was the purpose Of the federal reserve to lower it's rate at a. time when 1t would not inspire q new orgy of speculation. it appears to have chosen proper time.
 Credit Responds Well
 Credit conditions immediately re- sponded to the lower rediscount rate call money getting down to 3 per cent for the first time in more than a month. Corporate news was var jed. American Steel and Wire, 4. L. s. Steel subsidiary, cut prices Of cer- tain products B 10 s3 a ton. as had der pressure for a time. breaking through yesterdays low level but soon rallied. Fox Film directors de- clared the regular cash dividend, in dlcatlng the rganization Of the company's finances has progressed rapidly. The stock sold up substan- tially,
 Rails Somewhat Better
 The rail shares, yesterdays vul- nerable group. gave a somewhat better account Of themselves, a. few issues rallying substantially, al though others penetrated further into new low ground for the move ment. High priced industrials, the more cratic specialties, and some Of the utilities broke sharply for a time, J. I, Case sold Up nearly 10 points, then reacted about l 5. Such shares as Eatman Kodak, Colun1- bian Carbon, Allied Chemical, West inghouse Electric, A. N, Byers. Electric Power and Light, American Power and Light, and International Harvester sold off from to nearly 10 points before the afternoon rally set in. American Tobacco was an isolated buoyant feature, rising sev- eral points to new high record levels.

CURB IRREGULAR;
 RALLIES SOON DIE
Firm Opening Followed by Gen.
 eral Easing Of in Demand

New York, May ? [Pl-Curb prices huttered irregularly today. The foot ing was fairly firm at the opening but the market soon slipped into soft ground and lost one to two points before encountering much resistance. Rallies here and there in the utilities were mostly short lived and the list continued highly er- ratio.
 Credit conditions were distinctly favorable. The adjustment in open market money rates to the new 3 per cent federal reserve bank re- discount figure got under way im- mediately. Demand loans renewed at 3 12 and soon dropped half a per cent. Time accommodation dis played further easiness.
 Loans Have Little Effect
 The increase in brokers loans ap- peared to have little effect on senti- ment. for the gain was largely at tributed to borrowings for bond market purposes. Tn addition to a moderate accumulation of fxed- in come securities on dealers shelves. It was pointed out tbat the conver- sion of American Telephone bonds into stock was proceeding at the rat of about s5,00o,o00 daily and that much of this money was figuring in the loan totals.
 Oil stocks, under severe pressure on Thursday, tirmed at the opening but soon joined in the general easi- ness. Gulf. Standard Of Kentucky Vacuum, Humble Cities and Stan dard of Indiana all sagged
 Electric Bond &o Share was heavy but did not lack for company in the utility group ,where fair-sized de- cllnes were numerous.
 American SuperpoWer dipped more than point but met paratively little stock at the lower levels and regained most of the decline. Middle West utilities, American Gas & Elec- tric. American Light G. Trac4on and other leaders lost moderately.
