RALLY RUMORS
DISCOUNTED BY
SPECTATOR
Market Expert Sees Broker
Opinions Too Unanimous to
Warrant Blind Following
BY THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, April 4-The mar.
ket does not as yet give any indi-
cations that it is prepared to veer
away from the decidedly negative
action it'haS shown of late. One
must search back as far as Decem.
Der, 1928, to find a period In
which a decline has gone un.
checked for eight successive ses.
sions, as has the present setback,
while at the present standing of
the averages, approximately three
quarters of the advance between
January l and February "a, the
high point of the year, has been
Cancelled.
Rally Believed Imminent
The expectation is now more
or less general among brokerage
quarters that a rally of substan.
tiaI proportions is imminent. In
fact, the difficulty with this
theory is that there is too great
unanimity of opinion.
Precedent has shown that when
traders are looking for tech
nical recovery, the short interest
is usually reduced in anticipation
of this development, with the re-
suit that the rally fails to de-
velop anywhere nearly as quickly
as anticipated.
Conservative investment sources
hold to the belief that no reversal
in trend may be expected until
climax phenomena appear. BY
this is meant a single session
featured by a rapid acceleration in
the rate of decline, substantial
increase in the volume of sales,
larger number of new lows for the
year, and a feeling of pessimism
more widespread than so far evil
dent.
A Word of Warning
Investors who are Straining at
the leash because they feel that
the present level Of quotations
will not be here for any length
of time, should remember that II
the market is shaping for a suS-
tanned bull advance in ensuing
months, a considerable period
of backing and filling will be in
order similar to that which took
place in the early part of Janu-
ary.
The poor first quarter earnings
reports, while undoubtedly prov.
ing an effective damper to specu'
lative ardor, nevertheless will en-
able far-seeing interests to accum'
ulate stocks preparatory to sub
sequent rise.
Standard Statistics, in an ex'
haustive survey of the public
utility industry, points out that
few important branches of Amer
lean industry have been able to
equal for stability of output and
financial returns, the perform
ance of utility companies during
1880. While some recessions have
been witnessed in the closing quar-.
ter of last year and the initial
quarter of 1881, present indica.
tions point to resumption OF
the long term upward trend be-
fore the close of the year.
Favorable Year Indicated
The report therefore concludes,
that barring unexpected interven.
ing developments, it Is indicated
that 1882 results in general will
compare favOrably with the record
year, 1929.
Issues especially favored by this
service are Consolidated Gas, Elec-
trio Bond and Share, Electric
Power and Light, Niagara Hudson
Power, Public Service of New Jer-
sey, United Corporation, and
United Gas Improvement.

Temperature gets low enough, will
solidify. thus making IT practically
useless from a fabrication point of
view, until the machines have warmed
up to a point above the cold test Of
summer oil.
Modern refining processes have
made it possible to remove the wakes
found in iubricating oil which, while
necessary to hot weather fabrication,
are detrimental TO the cold test.
The removing of these wakes will
lower the cold test of an oil from Is
to % degrees below its normal cold
test.
All oil, and in fact any liquid, be-
comes solid at some temperatures and
even specially cold tested winter oils
will thicken up If the temperature
gets low enough. but they will thin
out quickly and do their job of lubri-
eating properly half hour before or
binary summer oil would be thin
enough to be on the job.
Winter oils are ready to flow

after starting when ordinary summer oil
would be so thick and heavy that it
would be twenty minutes or a half
hour before it would be flowing free

on the motor during this time natural
ly causes tremendous damage and is
avoided if properly cold tested winter
oils are used.
All oil should be kept in a warm
place so as TO make it easy TO draw
from the container. When using an
auto, truck or tractor during extreme
ly cold weather. many find il easiest
to drain the crank case at night while
the oil is still warm. placing the oil
in the house or where ii is warm and
putting the same oil back in the morn
ing after thoroughly warming it. This,
of course, gives the same starting con-
ditions as far as the oil is concerned
in winter as in summer.

Worn Tires Are Big Threat
to Safety in Operating Car

Worn tires are a threat TO the safe
operation of the automobile and
blowout, especially on the front
wheels. when the car is travelling at
a fair rate OF speed. often makes it
impossible for the driver to control
the machine, according to Frank
Hatfield. president OF the Hoosier Mo-
tor club.
Mr.. Hatfield pointed out that at a
time when tires are the cheapest since
the advent of the automobile. motor
lists should not sacrifice their own
safety, as well as that of others, in
the interests of economy.
Tires should be replaced" said
the club executive, las soon as they
wear through the tread and the fab
ric begins 10 show. Moreover, the
fabric is built in the tire as a foun-
datiOn for the rubber tread and is
not prepared to stand the strain of
driving.
Frequent reports are received of
serious accidents caused by worn
tires. The front wheels guide the
car and while tires on the rear wheel
bear the brunt of driving. good tires
should always be on the front, as
