YW-With Warrants,

wi--When issued.
The Washington times., 1931-02-11

Despite the bullish feeling
which pervades Wall Street at
the moment it is hard to see
how the current pace on the up
side can be maintained for any
considerable time. In fact,
glance over the closing quotations
yesterday revealed such favorites
as American Telephone, Consol-
idated Gas and international
Telephone either lower or un-
changed on the day. Further.
more the antics of such volatile
issues as Auburn which has run
up close to so points in the space
of week does not indicate an
altogether healthy condition,
since the threat is always over
hanging the market that the
withdrawal of pool support from
issues of this sort may act as an
unsettlipg factor to the market
as whole.
Decline to Be Slow
1t does not necessarily follow
however, that a substantial price
readjustment is imminent. Chart
students point out that markets
which advance like Skyrockets
after a considerable period Of
accumulation, rarely go down. in
the same fashion. Even If as
sumption is made we are still in
a bear market, a rise like that
Of the past two days is normally
followed by a trading period in
which distribution takes place.
In the opinion of these observers,
an early important reaction from
present levels would seem un-
likely unless we are in early
stages of a bull market. In that
case, investors and traders could
very well take advantage Of the
setback to purchase stocks for
holding over a considerable
period.
Tobacco Sales Gain
A survey of the leading factors
in the cigarette industry as re-
ported by a prominent advisory
service, shows that American To
bacco increased the sales Of its
leading brand in 1880 by approx.
imately Is per cent, against q
decline in the sales Of all other
brands Of about 8 per cent. from
1927 to 1880. American Tobacco
increased its net income by 83
per cent; Reynolds profits showed
an increase Of 18 per cent while
Liggett and Myers added 18 per
cent to net earnings In this
period.
BeariSh On Steel
A somewhat bearish aspect Of
the near term market possibilities
Of the steel shares has been taken
by standard statistics, after q
careful study of the immediate
prospects Of the industry. In
their opinion, it is doubtful II
February operations will average
materially in excess Of so per
cent. Of capacity. AS a whole. it
is declared that output for the
entire first quarter will show but
moderate gain over the low levels
Of the final 1880 quarter, and the
conclusion is drawn that neither
product nor earnings during this
period will afford stimulus for
any sustained rise in prices OF
steel shares.

CARBON GAINS
SEVEN POINTS
IN. RISE
Auburn Loses 10 Points, But
Rebounds While Case Hits
Higher for Big Gain
By W. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-An
early setback in the industrial
stocks and specialties this morn
ing was followed by another buy
ing rush in the utilities, which
swept prices of the active shares
! to 7 points higher. The cop
pers showed marked improvement
in the first hour, Anaconda, Ken
necott and American Smelling
rising point as copper metal
prices rose to 10 cents a pound.
j. I. Case replaced Auburn
Auto as the sensational leader
Of the specialties. Auburn drop
ped off 10 points in the first
period but quickly recovered
about 6 points, while Case
mounted swiftly to 1872 for a
gain of 6l2 points. The buying
rush then turned in the direc-
ton of the utilities and the
years best prices were recorded
in the active gas and electric,
power and electric traction shares.
Columbian Carbon led off with
q 7-point jump to 1854. Ameri-
can and Foreign Power, an old
favorite in this group, jumped
. 3la points to 3712. American
Waterworks was up 31a at 65h;

solidated Gas up a point; Inter

stocks were unable to continue
the swift pace set for them in
the last day or two and signs
of tiring were seen in many of
the favorites. Tomorrow's holi-
day deferred new buying by out
side traders and suggested profit
taking on the fast steppers, and

Railroad Plan Is Approved
by |. C. C.
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The in
terstate commerce commission, by a
7-to-4 decision, has given the rail-
roads permission to institute higher
freight rates, expected to yield $780,
100000 in added revenue next year.
The proceeds will be loaned to
bolster weak lines.
The higher rates, on a scattered
list Of commodities, are expected to
become effective Jan. l.
The commission granted the rail-
roads permission to substitute the
loan plan for the commissions own
proposal, which contemplated pool
ing these extra revenues and dis
tr1buting them outright to the weak
roads with no provision for repay
ment. The aim of both plans was
to enable distressed lines to meet
interest payments on their securi-
ties, safeguarding railroad bonds
extensively held by banks and other
financial institutions.
The lines commended legal diff
culties might make it difficult to put
the pooling plan into effect. AS a
substitute they offered the loan p -
posal, accepted by the majority of
the commission in the decision
handed down late Monday.
Three members joined in vigor-
GUS dissent, written by Commission
er Joseph B. Eastman.
