The market is passing through
the current test of it's position
in such convincing manner has
set off an unquestionably bullish
signal, for the near term at least.
This becomes somewhat clearer
by the following survey of the
movement since the incipient
stages of the advance.
Concentrated Advances
Prior to yesterdays session, the
recovery was the result of four
concentrated advances, each ad-
vance lasting four days. The
pattern had been four days of
advance, followed by a reaction,
or a combination of trading
range and reaction, lasting one
to two weeks. The first four
day push started December II
and gained IL points from the
close on the sixteenth. The second
started December 80 and gained
IL points. The third started
January 20 and gained 10 points.
The fourth got under way on
February 7 and by the close on
February II had gained II points.
Since the latter date, the
market has churned around
within narrow trading limits,
thus imparting to many the i'm
preston that distribution was
under way. However, Thursdays
brisk move upward into new
high ground indicates, that If
the above pattern is to be fol-
lowed, a further upturn of from
8 to 10 points in the averages
is within the realms of posi-
bility.
Caution Advised
1t must be remembered at this
time, however, that the market
has never been respector of
precedent, and the fact that this
prospective advance makes tn e
fifth step in the upward pendu-
lum should make for increasing
caution on the part of traders
who may be disposed to follow
the list forward into unchartered
territory.
Signs that the technical posi-
ton of the market is still strong.
is indicated by the premium on
U. S. Steel, as well as on many
other active stocks.
There have been any number
of bullish analyses of the pros
poets of WoolWorth as a future
market leader, with steady ac-
emulation of this stock based on
the expectation of an increase in
the $2.4O cash dividend later in
the year. 1t is also declared
possible that the company may
declare a special distribution out
of surplus, which totaled $72,0l0,-
600 at the start of 1881. Long
pull buying of the stock has also
been induced by the strengthen
ing of the company's trade posi-
ton as result of lower com"
modify prices.
Westinghouse Earnings Off
Current estimates place 1880
earnings of Westinghouse Elec-
trio at $5 a share, less than half
of the $10.25 shown in 1929, but
just sufficient to meet dividend
requirements. Untitled business
carried into the current year
approximated $4OOOO,OOO, down
$2O,OOO,Q0O. compared with a
year earlier. 1t is reported that
new orders booked since Jan
uary l, have been about equal
to those in December, one of
the poorest months last year.
The bear faction has been re-
ported as contesting this advance
ever since its inception. 1t is
the belief of quarters in a posi-
ton to know that the largest
short interest is in Westinghouse,
General Electric, Anaconda, U.
S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Amer
ican Can, General Motors.

/ IS. ATTACKED

Mrs. Pauline Adelicia Kaiser, Of

trict Supreme Court a caveat at
tacking the will of her mother,
Mrs. Pauline Locket, who died re-
Gently, creating a perpetual trust
in disposing of her estate valued
at nearly $500,000.
According to the petition filed
on behalf of Mrs. Kaiser by At
torneys Wilton j. Lambert and
r. H. Yeatman, Mrs. Locket was
not of sound mind at the time of
making her will, which was dated
November 7, 1880, because Of an
illness of long standing, and she
further charges that undue in
fluence was exerted on her mother
by unnamed persons.
The estate was composed of
premises 1776 Massachusetts, Ave.
N. W., valued at $45,000, and per
sonal property valued at $432,-
814.91. James w. Lockett, huS-
band of the testratrix, was given
q life income of 500 a month
from the income and one-third
of the rest of the income is
given to Mrs. Kaiser under the
will. The other is divided be
tween Pauline and Frank
Hyatt, children of Mrs. Kaiser
by a former marriage.
The court is also asked to ap-
point collectors for the estate
pending disposition of the suit.
