J. |. Case and Auburn Auto
Both Recover Ground Lost in
Bear Attacks of Last Week
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Stocks
moved sluggishly through an ex-
tremely narrow level of prices
in the early trading today. The
weekend accumulation of orders
was mostly on the selling side,
and stocks dropped off at the
opening, but the volume Of sell
ing was light and the market
Steadied itself in the second hour.
With one eye on Washington and
the other on the business outlook
horizon, Wall Street is disposed
to "go slow" until both the po-
litical and the industrial skies
indicate clear weather ahead.
Auburn Auto, j. I. Case and
other speculative favorites regis
tered a comeback in the second
period, recovering all of their
lost ground. Auburn moved ZIP
from 1854 to 139 and Case sold
about a point above Saturdays
close. United States Steel broke
under 139 for a fractional loss,
but little stock was sold at that
price. The utilities held within
a small range of last weeks
finals.
National Bellas Hess was the
feature If the cheap specialties,
rising 212 points to on merger
rumors. The preferred stocks also
gained 2 points at 81. Montgom-
ery Ward. Sears RoebCck and
other mercantile stocks were in
good form around Saturdays clos
ing prices. The rails and motors
were on the shelf in this period
and trading in all sections of the
market near the noon period was
near the vanishing point. Bonds
were irregular and money un-
changed, with call loan renewals
at ~ per cent.
The Washington times., 1931-02-02

This indefinite action cannot be
maintained much longer. Either
the market must make a sus-
tanned drive into new high terri
tory for the year, or it will be
forced through the lower limits
Of its trading range with posi-
bility the former bear market
lows of December II will be
tested.
Wall Street Confused
Wall Street, as measured by
brokerage opinion, remains in a
highly confused state of mind.
One of the most potent argu-
ments of sources looking for re-
dictionary tendencies to become
manifest, has been the inability
of the industrial leaders to make
any headway, during the time
when some of the lightly capital
lied specialties were squirting
ahead wildly. They point out
that in January, year ago, a
sharp run-in of shorts in Fox
Film proved an important stimula-
ton to the market in general,
with resultant upsWing of i'm
portant proportions developing
shortly thereafter. This time no
such result has been in evidence.
On the other side of the
picture, is the view of one inn
portant wire house, which de-
clares that the further decrease
in brokers loans, while prices
were advancing, constitutes the
most bullish set of technical in
fluences seen in some time pre-
dieting a near term substantial
upturn.
Investment Buys Gain
The extent to which investment
buying on an outright basis has
been taking place during the past
year is disclosed in a current
magazine study of the share
holders of 1913 leading business
enterprises. 1t is pointed out
that these companies had more
than 100000 stockholders on
their last dividend date prior to
December l, 1880, an increase
from the total of 100000 at the
end of 1929, and the total Of
100000 at the end TO 1928. This
was an increase Of 50 per cent
in 1929, and an increase of Is
per cent in 1880, during period
of general business hesitancy.
List Largest Stockholders
The II companies having the
largest number of stockholders in
their respective groups in 1880
appeared as follows: Communica-

MARKET TEST
BELIEVED DUE
THIS WEEK
Belief Current That Bears Will
Attempt to Force Through
Lows of Last December
BY THE SPECTATOR

The market enters a new
week today in a decidedly
uncertain position. For a
number of days now the
general list has acted in a
"jumpy" fashion, with a few
stocks swinging erratically
over a wide price range,
while the Socalled Stolid
members of the market have
shown leaningS toward re-
action.
A study of the movements
of the list over the past
week, shows there have been
three days Of advance, and
three days of declines with
the market unable to dis
play a sustained trend for
more than two sessions in
succession. AS measured by
the Standard Statistics Index
figures of 80 stocks, the net
change was a decline Of IA
points, an indicator Of the
narrow price range over
which the list has fluc-
tuated.

a two-fold purpose in that they act

There is one precaution to keep
in mind--do not repeat the flavor
of the cocktail in some other
course. The general rule for sery-
ing cold foods thoroughly chilled
should be observed and the cock
tail be left on ice until the last
minute. Do not let a fruit cock
tail be too sweet lest ii defeat its
own end and cloy rather than whet
the appetite.
Very often left-overs can be
used most satisfactorily and at
tractiyely. The portions for serv-
ing are quite small. four table

ized. The Elk's club wishes to ex-
press its appreciation to those who
have contributed to the cause, and
