REDUCED AUTO RATES
ALLOWED SOUTHWEST
], C. G. Allows Rail Lines to Make
Cut to Meet "Drive-
Away" Competition.
BY the Associated Press.


The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today authorized southwestern
lines to reduce freight rates on auto
mobiles to meet driveway" COMPETE
ton.
The authorization was contained In a
decision in the consolidated southwest
ern cases permitting reduction In rates
on oil well supplies, glass bottles and
various other articles to, from and be-
tween southwestern points.
simultaneously with handing down OF
this decision, the commission received
an application from southwestern lines
asking reopening of rates for petroleum
products in the same territory.
The railroads advised the commission
that petroleum and petroleum product
rates could not be considered apart
from what they called chaotic and I'M
practicable conditions in the oil indus
try due to over production.
They said that transportation of gaso-
line by pipe line was an actuality and
that waterways were getting more and
more Of the business. Motor truck and
pipe line competition, not being restrict
ed as to rates they added, was cutting
heavily into their business.
The commission in its decision author
izing filing of reduced rates on auto
mobiles applied the same condition it
applied yesterday in the cotton rate
case to meet truck competition. The
hauls are limited to 500 miles and are
to be made at carload rail rates and
the rates to be filed with the commits
sion subject to suspension and investi-

BROKERS FORECAST
IRREGULAR MARKET
Most Houses Pleased, How
ever, by Results of Trad
ing Yesterday.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 5-Brokerage
houses were pleased by the markets
action yesterday, although they were
far from unanimous In believing that
necesSitious liquidation had been Clean
ed up. Many look for dull, irregular
market. Comments follow:
Otis & Co.-The whole appearance Of
the market yesterday was in keeping
with what is normally to be expected
after q sharp automatic rally has tenn
porarily ended protfacted decline. The
usual routine under these conditions Is
for the market to settle into q tempo
rary trading range bounded approx
mately by the low prices reached on the
decline and the high prices estab-
lished on the one to two day automatic
rally. The market generally yesterday
restricted its movements TO fit within
this pattern.
Redmond & Cove believe that the
best that can be hoped for during the
next few weeks is dull and irregular
market as it seems obvious that the
process Of readjusting market values 70
current earnings and prospects has not
been fully completed, We believe the
recent rally probably reflects the tenn
porary cessation of professional selling
pressure and forced liquidation rather
than concerted investment buying as
large lines Of short stock are reported
TO have been covered last week, and
some of the big bear operators have
stepped to the sidelines.
Shields 81 Co.-Traders yesterday re-
ceived their first sample of the type Of
lethargic market which Is likely TO pre-
vail for some time, and while not alto
gether pleased with the prospect. argu-
ment was general that only through a
series of quiet markets could the proper
foundation be laid for sustained adj
vance In security prices.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co-From
now on the stock market may be ex-
pected to witness accumulation for long
pull appreciation, and while this is
going on we will see switching on a
large scale from the less favored to the
more favored issues. Left to itself, We
would expect a dwindling volume, with
the market showing both gains and
losses In representative issues. While
haste Is unnecessary in the making of
new commitments, we take the view
that scale order buying into companies
which reveal strong balance sheets will
turn the tide In the stock market
within the next few months and we
anticipate such a turn before business
improvement is generally apparent.
Babcock, RuShton &E Cot Is pos
Sible that the dizziness which existed
yesterday will continue. and it should
not be considered in any other light
than favorable one.
