ODD.LOT COMMISSION
CHARGES REDUCED
Brokers Cut Costs to Small Pur-
chasers of Securities-NeW
Scale Given.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 10.-Brokers who
specialize in handling security transac-
tions for the small investor have cut
their commission charges to induce
small buyers to enter the market more
literally.
The new commission is 1872 cents a
share on stock bought or sold for odd
lot" customers. odd lot" brokers, who
handle orders in amounts smaller than
the accepted Wall Street trading unit
OF 100 shares, must have the services
Of highly technical and specialized
force. A special commission is there
fore added to the regular rate for 100
share orders
The odd lot" rate was advanced to
25 cents a share on buying orders when
it appeared several months ago that
security transactions would be taxed
more heavily than Congress finally
elected to assess them. The charges
have been cut in half.
Under the new commissions, a buyer
OF a small block of sl00 par value
stock selling at $40 a share pays the
odd lot broker 1879 cents a share plus
Federal tax of cents and a State
tax OF like amount. When he sells, he
pays another 1872 cent commission.
On this basis. a small investor who
takes round trip in a security trans
action pays 25 cents to the odd lot
broker and cents in taxes. or 33 cents
in all. Under the former rate. rescinded
on June '6. the small buyer paid no
tax. The broker paid the tax. but to
take care of it the customer was
charged a commission of 25 cents a
share on his purchase, plus 1912 cents
on his sale, or 37i2 cents for the round
trip
Consequently. the small investor now
saves a cents a share on mis- round
trip excursions IN the market.

STOCKS IN ADVANCE:
AFTER EARLY LOSS
Jump in Auburn Auto Results
in Reversal of Mar
ket Trend.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK. June lO.-Stocks ad-
vanced anywhere from to 5 points in
standard issues and from to 20 points
IN the two volatile issues of small float
ing supply, j. l. Case and Auburn Auto
IN today's dlsorderly retreat of the short
interests.
The parade of the penitents was
headed by those spectators who had
sold Auburn Auto without having bought
1t first. They had been worried yester-
gay and the day before They were
panlc-stricken today. Their plight led
TO hasty buying in of contracts for the
decline all through the list.
While the strength of the market
was primarily due TO technical condi-
ton, 1t should not be belittled on that
account. II could not happen in a mar
ket Whlch old not have some other and
Sounder reason for improvement
Ihere was distinct note of optimism
IN the news from distributive trade.
The strength in stocks started a flood
OF rumors, all of them favorable. al
though some of them obviously absurd
Ihat should not be allowed to obscure
the TACT that there was turn in SEN
tlment as well as in the market.
Ine buying in Auburn had all the
earmarks Of a pool operation If this
was the case. it was the first of its kind
since the Senate Committee began in
vastlgatlng the workings of the Stock
Exchange. Whatever the origin. how
ever, 1t was distressing in the extreme to
the short interest. They had believed
themselves immune to interference from
any source and this object lesson threw
them into confusion.
Other stocks in which contracts for
the decline were outstanding in large
amounts felt the stimulus of the
strength in Auburn. One of these was
Coca Cola Another was International
Shoe and still another was United
States Steel preferred. Coca Cola had
been sold on the theory that its busi-
ness would be injured by repeal or modi-
flcation of prohibition International
Shoe had been sold probably because it
had not gone down with the rest of the
market, and steel preferred had been
offered on the possibility Of a reduction
IN the dividend, although there was
never any official ground for expect
ing it
Steel preferred went to a new bear
market low in the first hour. under
s63 share. but when the rally got
under way 1t snapped back for a gain
OF ? to points on the day Other
points Of early weakness were Western
Union. dividend action on which is due
next week and which also went to a
new low, and Bethlehem Steel pre-
ferred.
American Telephone rallied after
flrst-hour heaviness and that was true
also Of Allied Chemical.
Railway shares gave better ac-
count Of themselves today. particu-
larly Union Pacific and Atchison. The
oils were steady. An incident was
new years high for Consolidated Oil
preferred said to be due to buying for
the company. Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit issues were affected by the
statement of the chairman to the
effect that dividend fears were mot
unJustifed"
