Cheerful Market
 Tone Continues
Plenty of Buying Power Manifested Notwithstanding
 Occasional Backing and Filling Altitude

New York, Jan. 31.-Continuation of the cheerful tone of past weeks and improvement in the investment demand for securities have been the outstanding features of late. Many investors who have been absent from active operations for the past several years have begun to come back again. to pick up the bar gains which the market undoubt- edly offers. Items of encouraging
 business development have also come to light in numerous Quarters. Among these, is the fact that the interstate commerce commission has taken strong ground in favor of a constructive railroad rate policy, such as to attract capital and at the same time provide a sufficient in- come to the roads to enable them to supply thoroughly good service. A constructive attitude in several other directions has likewise been manifested by federal authorities, velopments in the basic trades, among them the improvement in de- mand for iron, with substantial increase of forward orders. It is gratifying that these fundamental factors are being perceived, and are having their effect upon investors who while not reaching out for stocks are nevertheless willing to absorb them when pressed for sale.
 Notwithstanding the markets backing and filling attitude, plenty of buying power is manifesting is presence when prices respond to sell ing pressure from traders .bearishly inclined. In view ow the fact that lio,fidafiOn has heeT so thorough

sion, there's nothing we can do about it." said Republican Floor Leader Tilson, but he emphasized that he was speaking only for him self. Personally, l won't com promise on principle"
 Tilson is not : in accord with Speaker Longfworth on the course to be pursued. Several days ago the speaker favored compromise on the $25,OOO.00O appropriation, but there was no spirit of com- promise evident yesterday when ad- ministration forces in the house overwhelmed the opposition.
 Democrats sought to get around the Red Cross refusal to administer the proposed $25,000.000 appropria- ation by offering to vote the money to President Hoover, to the war de- partment or to charitable, fraternal and religious organizations. Repub- licans rejected every proposal.
 The controversy now has gone far beyond the bounds. Of this one appropriation. Robinson's ultima tum involves several other measures.
 These include the $15.00O,0OO food loan appropriation for drought stricken states which the house al. ready has defeated. use of federal farm board what to feed the hum gry, $3,00O,000 for medical relief embodied in the deficiency bill, al- location of s5,O00.o0O of the s45,- 0O0,o00 drought relief appropriation for the assistance of cooperative or ganizations, re-appropriation of the 1880 feed, seed and fertilizer ap- propriation for 1881.
 These measures might be stopped effectively by the house, except for Robinson's strategy in attaching them as riders to essential appropri- ation bills. There is some consid- eration of general resolution en- bodying all the appropriation bills but Robinson includes this is his catalogue of measures to be held up unless the relief program is voted.
 Senator McNary. repn, Ore, head of the senate conferees on the in- terior department bill, expressed hope to-day that compromise might be reached in conference on the $25,00e,0OO appropriation.
