BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 QN.S0
The railroad stocks and the util-
ities were the leaders today, in a
further advance in prices on the
big board. The momentum gen.
Grated by yesterdays bull move
was sufficient to keep many Of
the favorites in motion, and the
market received further good
news" in the form Of an an
nouncement that the rail consoli-
dation program, fully agreed
upon, had already been laid Of
ficially before the Commerce
Commission.
The feasibility Of the consoli-
dation is seen in the fact that
the big roads own or control
PRACTICAL all Of the small roads
they are allotted under the agree
ment. Moreover, the rail chiefs
have agreed not to discharge any
of their workmen in taking the
initial merger steps. New ad-
vances Of / to 31a points were
recorded today in Atchison, New
York Central, Delaware and Hud'
son and other active rail shares.
Utilities Advance
The utilities took their cue from
the reports and statements of
prominent industrial and political
leaders to the effect that cooper
alton, rather than oppression,
from governing boards, would be
the policy for 1881. Good buying
of Columbia Gas, Consolidated
Gas, United Corporation and other
gas and electric shares accom-
panied the advances to a fraction
ally higher average price level.
The good effects of holiday the
atrical attendance was seen in the
further rise Of Paramount, Loews,
Radio Keith and other amuSe-
ment shares. The oils formed up
on the reported increase Of 2 cents
q gallon in gasoline in interior
consuming points.
The market slowed up in the
late trading under the impact Of
profit taking and short selling.
The brilliant flash in the automo-
bile stocks appeared to have evap-
Grated, for the time being at least,
and the motors were unusually
quiet. Auburn Auto gave up about
3 points of its early lead and Gen.
eral Motors sold fractionally
lower.
Commodities Are Steady
Slight improvement in the
South American and European
countries in which the properties
ofNa' number of prominent Amer.
ican corporations are located was
reflected in the better demand
for American and Foreign Power
and international Tel. and Tel.
American Can, U. s. Steel and
other industrial favorites were
held in a narrow groove by the
professionals on both sides of
the market.
The weekend commodity mar
ketS were steady, without grain
and cotton selling within mar.
row range of Saturdays close.
Bulls in the stock market re-
turned in full force in the late
ira ding, forcing U. S. Steel,
American Can, Consolidated Gas
and other favorites to the best
prices of the day.

were almost entirely of small

There was also some inquiry from

be dickering for new business.

Bond yields are now the most

Comparison shows that in March
of 1920, bonds were yielding 5.65
per cent, whereas the yield as of
November, 1880, was but asa per

that in 1920 there was a scarcity
of credit, and the money rates
average 5.94 per cent, whereas, as
Of November, 1880, they averaged
but 2.72 per cent. In short, as
Of the former date, the money

Low Output Persists


The fact remains, however, that
fundamentals of business show no
clear cut signs of improvement.
It appears inevitable but that the
low point of production carried
over from November and Decem-
ber, will almost certainly persist
into January.
In the opinion of one Of Wall
Streets most conservative broker
age houses, it is too early in the
year to start discounting the
seasonal improvement in business
which normally comes in the
spring, and therefore little conf
dence is held in a continuation
of the advance from levels now
ruling for most stocks.
The business results Of January
must be out Of the way before
one can look with any feeling OF
optimism to the spring markets.
This source, however, expects the
current month to found a solid
base from which the market can
enjoy a substantial advance into
the future months.
