MART OUTLOOK
CONFUSION IS
GROWING
0utcropping of Weak Spots in
Unexpected Sections Sets
Hazards for ForeCasterS
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March 25.-The
stock market outlook is daily be-
coming more confused although
the ability of the general run of
pivotal leaders to make some
headway in the face of dis
couraging business tidingS is a
redeeming feature at the moment.
However, viewing the move
ments of stocks on Tuesday for
possible clue as to the future,
the situation does not appear
particularly inviting to warrant
fresh commitments on thee con-
structive side.
OutwardIy, the appearance Of
the market was strong, but
manipuIative Outbursts against
the shorts, as evidenced by tLS
spectacular upruSh of the volatile
Auburn Auto, is not conducive to
placing the list in a technically
sound position.
Many Weak Spots
The one disturbing feature,
which is apparently being over
looked in the more sensational
fluctuations of the speculative
favorites, is the continued out
cropping of weak spots. On
Monday, U. S. Industrial Alcohol
slumped sharply to new low
levels for the year on relatively
slight turnover.
Yesterday, Columbian Carbon
was the weak sister, dipping
more than 712 points in little
more than that number Of
minutes, while in this same ses-
sion, a recognized investment
favorite such as Texas Corpora
ton, moved counter to the rally
ing trend and sagged to a new
1881 bottom.
Results of dividend meetings
of the Baltimore and Ohio, and
Westinghouse Electric, will occupy
financial attention today.
The statement made many
months ago by T. B. Macaulay,
president of the Sun Life AS
surance Company, one of the
largest organizations in the in
vestment trust field, that there
were times to sell stocks as well
as to buy them, is called to
mind in a study of the 1880 re-
port just released.
Portfolio RevisiOns
Holdings in number of lead
ing industrial companies were
disposed of, among which were
United States Steel, Woolworth,
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph, Brooklyn Union Gas, Stand
ard Oil of New York, Standard
Oil of Kentucky and Ford Motor
of Canada B.
On the other hand, substantial
commitments were made in con-
siderable number of stocks, princi-
pally utilities. Among this num-
ber were American Telephone and
Telegraph, Borden, Columbia Gas,
Consolidated Gas of New York,
Corn Products, Detroit Edison,
Electric Bond and Share, General
Electric, Imperial Oil, North
American, Pacific Gas, Public
Service of New Jersey, Standard
Oil of Indiana, United Gas I'm

Former Gains 112, Latter 2Is

g to 249 in Another FIare-up
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March IS Q.N.S). d.
Forward movement in the stock
market this morning were con-
fined to small number of the
industrials and specialtieS which
have been conSpicuously in the
lime-light for the last week or
two. The pools worked hard to
stir up speculative interest in
their favorites, some Of which
were spread thickly over the tape
at the best prices on the move.
Westinghouse and Baltimore
q Ohio Railway, on which divi-
dend action is due today, were
active and strong in the early
trading.
New Auburn Flare-Up
Auburn Auto staged a new
flare-up in it's early nine-point
jump to 249, but from that level
the stock gradually receded.
Houston Oil forged ahead to
above 81 for a gain of three
points. McKeesport Tinplate
forged ahead to above 81 for a
two-point rise before meeting
with any resistance.
Westinghouse at 95 showed a
new gain of 11a as Wall Street
Speculated on the probable divi-
dend action of the directors. The
stock has been paying per cent
and a reduction to 4 or even 2
per cent was predicted in the
financial district.
Strength and activity of the
rails was based on 10,O00-car
increase in freight loadings and
a better accumulation of rail
freight at important business
centers. Baltimore and Ohio at
761a, showed a gain Of 21s, while
New York Central at 11414, was
up about 2 points. A downward
revision in Baltimore and Ohio's
dividend is expected to me made
this afternoon.
Utilities Tagging
U. S. Steel, General Electric
and other market leaders were
unable to make much progress.
The utilities were also held back
by a flood of selling and the
oils were unsettled by the $4,000
barrel daily increase in crude oil
production.
