0deII S. Smith, Trade Of
ficiaI and ReaItor, Predicts
New Increases in Business

Although spring is still several
weeks in the offing the indica-
tions point to Washington build
ing activities eclipsing the 1929
record, according to Odell S.
Smith, District realtor.
While real estate operators and
property owners are not antici-
pating a revival of boom proper
tions they do expect that much
will be accomplished in 1881 to-
ward relieving the housing short
age, particularly with reference
to private dwellings, according to
Mr.. Smith.
Signs Are Noted
UnmiStakable signs have been
noted which show that builders
are planning the construction of
rows Of small houses and private
dwellings.
Other interested observers ex-
pect that the home modernization
movement, started in the early
weeks of the winter as an unem-
ployment measure, would see a
decided revival. If this phase of
the construction program de-
VelopS according to hopes ex.
pressed many of the older resi-
denceS will undergo marked trans
formation.

IN BLUE CHIP
STOCKS
Securities Expert Believes
Quiet Selling Ha s Been
Going On for Some Time
BY LEWIS HANEY,
Director New York University Bureau
Of Business Research and former
EcOnimist OF Federal Trade


EcOnimist OF Federal Trade
Commission
A narrow and dull professional
market, in which dribbling liqui
dation was little too much fol
dribbling investment buying. That
is about the story of last weeks
stock session.
Certainly the trend was down
ward. The decline was grudging
and irregular, but the representa-
tive averages gave ground. They
lost about S points during the
week.
Industrial stocks we're off about
7 points. The rails lost about
2l2 points. Utilities declined over
S points on average. Even the
bond averages lost a half a point
A notable fact continues to be
the relative weakness of the old
leaders in the stock market.
"BIue Chips" Sell Off
The blue chips" lost from 1 to
13 points, and showed an average
decline of more than 4 points.
But a list of the less inflated
stocks of good companies such as
are selected by the newer invest,
ment trusts ranged from 0 to
25s points lower, and made an
average decline of only " points.
Even the active trading favorites
of the week, if bought from day
to day with perfect skill, would
have made a much better showing
than Allied Chemical, Eastman
Kodak, American Can, U. S. Steel,
American Telephone, and N. Y.
Central.
Evidently good deal of quiet
liquidation in such stocks is going
on. This probably has something
to do with the considerable de-
cline in the total security loans Of
the banks in the past two weeks.
Position Not Weak
The technical position of the
market is not weak. In fact,
there seems to be considerable
short interest. But investors in
the old leaders have been liquidat-
ing. About the only strength
comes from an occasional Hun-in
of shorts in some stocks in which
the market is thin.
It seems likely that foreign in
vestors are partly responsible for
this liquidation. The European
stock markets have been weak,
and the decline in foreign ex-
change rates may have indicated
need of liquidating security
loans made to foreigners.
1t seems possible that the mar
ket may hold up today and TO-
morrow. It may not go through
the old lows this month. In a
thin professional market like
thiss it is dangerous to try short
selling.
But I can see no considerable
possibility of a sustained rise from
present price levels. Probably a
resistance level (Which I figure
to be about 3 points loWer) will
soon be tested. If the averages
break through this level, we are
likely to see new lows made, es.
pecially in stocks now yielding
under 5 per cent.
Uncertainty Prevails.
The action Of the market
clearly shows Wall Street to be
very uncertain. The professionals
themselves are not doing much,
so the little outside trader should
let stocks absolutely alone at
present.
Buyers for investment will prob
ably do well to wait for lower
prices in most cases.
The big fact is that there is
yet no evidence that business is
picking up as much as usual for
the season. Until evidence of such
a pickup is pretty clear, the mar
ket is more likely to sag than to
soar.

2. Agriculture in decline because

INDUSTRY USES
GAS AS FUEL

Formal announcement recently
by the Federal Farm Board that
it would not undertake to sup
port or stabilize the price of the
1881 wheat crop will have no ma
terial adverse effect on that COM
modify, in fact, there is already
evidence that buyers who are ac-
customed to "non-artificiar' mar
kets are returning, according to
Arnold w. Wetsel, economist. He
says:
Consumption of natural gas in
this country has registered an in
crease of more than 130 per cent
in the last 10 years, due to the
discovery of large new reserves,
together with marked advances in
methods of pipe manufacture and
pipeline construction. according
to the Bank of America N. A.,
which points out that the most
pronounced gain has occurred
since 1923, with the great ex-
tension of long distance transmits
sion lines.
While domestic consumption of
natural gas has been increasing
steadily in recent years, the bank
asserts that the important in
crease in consumption has been
in the industrial field. About 10
years ago, the bank points out,
industrial consumption repre-
sented 81 per cent and domestic
consumption 38 per cent of the
total amount of natural gas con-
sumed in this country, whereas
now the respective proportions
are 81 per cent and 19 per cent.
In 1880, according to the most
reliable est m a tes available,
natural gas pipe mileage was in
creased to approximately 94,162
miles. Outstanding developments

Transactions in stocks, bonds
and commodities estimated at
more than $90,000,000,OO0 were
recorded and distributed last
week over the 81 ticker systems
operated by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, according to
Dots and Dashes," a company
publication.
This sum, is approximately
equal to the total sum of money
spent last year by every man,
woman and child in the nation.
Factors in Estimate
Most of these ticker systems
report transactions on the princi-
pal stock and commodity eX-
changes of the nation on thou
sands of tickers, located in all
cities and numerous smaller
places.
Trading in commodities has
been estimated at $50, 0,400,G GOO, 900
and security transactions at $780,
OOO,00O,000. Of the latter figure,
trading on the New York Stock
Exchange alone accounts for
about $43, 100000.
New York Curb Exchange stock

commodity exchanges make up
the balance of the commodity
figure.
