Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, February 18.-Many
brokers today assume the attitude that
current unfavorable situations will soon
right themselves and that a belated
stock market rally will reflect underly-
ing improvement.
Hornblower & Weeks-Barring some
unexpected development, we look for the
market to continue its gradual improve
ment.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Cove an
ticipate some favorable news develop
ments bearing on the Michigan situa-
tion and believe that these viii go a
long way to restore confidence in all
sections Of the country.
Clark, Childs & Keech.-There is a
good chance that the action Of our Sem
ators in voting for dry repeal may serve
as the psychological development which
could make those who are now panicky
realize that constructive factors can
arise suddenly as II out Of the sky.
Hamershlag, Borg g. Co.-Until pop
ular apprehension Is allayed, it does not
seem likely that the market can stage
more than a technical rally, but any re-
assuring announcement might afford
the opportunity for prices to reflect be-
latedly the improved news and hopes
Of seasonal betterment.
Redmond 81 Co.-The market is still
in a critical area, and 1t may take sew
eral days to determine whether a def
mite resistance level has been estab-
nshed. A cautious trading and invest
ment policy continues advisable.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
AT SHORT SESSION
Advances in First Hour Bring
Out Offerings as Mar.
ket Closes.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 18-The week
in the stock market closed with o mar
row and uncertain price movement
Quotations ranged higher during the
first hour, but enough selling appeared
in the second half of the session to
create irregularity.
The most important news was the
increase In car loadings of 1928 cars
on the week, larger than expected, but
almost entirely due to the movement of
coal. Obviously this was because Of
weather conditions and did not indicate
any permanent change for the better.
Kansas City Southern made the first
January earning report. Both gross
and net were down from the CORE
spending period of year ago. Rail-
way stocks were steady at the opening
and fractionally lower at the end, but
trading in them was in small volume.
The market for United States Steel
issues was helped by the action Of the
directors in offering common stock to
employees as usual. The price fixed
was SGT a share and the market for the
Junior issue ranged around that figure
today Steel preferred at SO was up 2
points from the low of Friday. The fact
that the corporation did again invite
its workers to invest in its stock was
taken as indicative of confidence in the
future Advices from youngstown were
moderately favorable. Scrap prices
were firm.
There were one or two weak spots.
The one that attracted the most atten-
ton was Union Carbide & Carbon, di-
rectors of which are scheduled to meet
for dividend action on Tuesday. The
movement of the shares suggested that
traders were considering the possibility
Of some downward revision in the rate.
Local fractions were soft today, with a.
Q to 3 point drop in Brooklyn Man.
haitian Transit preferred.
The general list was not weak. The
street was encouraged by the flrmness
In commodities, which Offset, in part at
least, the weakness in the dollar abroad.
Sterling was unchanged at 3.44A, but
that was due largely to Intervention by
the Bank of England. French francs
were up even-sixteenths point, guilders
up 8, the Swiss bill up and belgas
up 2 points, which, added to Fridays
rise in these currencies, was a pretty
plain indication of what the European
Spectators thought of the prospects Of
imitation here They have been wrong
before, however, and the chances are
that they are wrong now. Meanwhile,
however, francs are at a point where it
is profitable to ship gold from New
York to Paris.

SUGAR PRICES SCORE
STRIKING ADVANCES
Future Deliveries of Raw Product
Have Recently Moved Almost
80 Per Cent Higher.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. February 18.-Thanks
to the stolid Dutch producers in Java,
sugar has been exerting sweetening
influence In the commodity markets,
scoring striking gains.
Raw sugar futures have appreciated
almost 80 per cent in value in the
New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange.
For instance, the March delivery sold
on February at 0.65 of l cent
pound. Wednesday, 1T touched 0.84
These quotations are before payment OF
duty, which adds cents to the price.
While coffee and tin have actually
topped the levels Of year ago. sugar
is creeping up on last year. Wednes-
days closing price of 0.84 for March
delivery compared with closing price
of 0.93 on that date in 1882.
Inasmuch as raw sugar was a leader
in last Summers upturn in commodity
prices, market observers hope its pres
ent rise may be prophetic.
The rise evidently started by reports
that Java, second only to Cuba in
sugar production, might limit her crop
for the 1884 season to only 100000
tons, against 1920 900 in 1928.

PLANTS
INCREASING OUTPUT
Introduction of New Models Is
Accompanied by Gains in Sales.
Annual Shows Help.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, February 18.-Manufac-
turing activity in most of the motor car
plants continued at slightly better
level during the past Nweek. after a
virtual adjustment of the labor diff
culties that interrupted production in
some of them. The activity, of course,
has been due, in the main, to the out
put of new models which were more
or less hurried though at the last of
the year to be ready for general show
ing at the annual automobile expo
sitions.
At the same time, authoritative
sources claim the registration Of new
cars during January, although the fig
ures still are incomplete, will show
that month-to have exceeded so per
cent OF the f1ve-year average, the first
time any monthly figures have made
such a showing since September, 1881.
New car sales for January are eSti-
mated at $1,000. In December they to-
tailed 45,529.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, February 1s.-Consumer-
refinancing to pay has
become subject Of growing importance
among economists. Millions Of Amer
lean consumers, mostly wage earners,
are facing an accumulation Of retail
bills and other debts as the. result of
emergencies and reverses Of the past
year or two The latest Government
retail credit survey shows that the time
outstanding for retail credit accounts
has increased to an average Of 80 days
from the time they are due.
These economists agree, however, that
the situation cannot be solved by
merely borrowing from Peter to pay
Paul" 1t is essential that the second
debt-the one made for refinancing pur-
poses-be on such terms and owed to
such creditor agencies that 1t can be
retired:
l. Systematically in accordance with
the debtors production and consurnp
ton during the period Of retirement,
and
2 Constructively in relation to the
fabric of business and industry.
The first requirement Is met largely
by a concentration Of accumulated
debts in one creditor, gradual repay
ment, and continual pressure on the
debtor to curb natural extravaganza.
Purchasing Power Restored.
The second means that the creditor
must be special agency built solely to
advance consumer credit, rather than
one who sells or manufactures goods
and Is forced to advance credit.
The effectiveness of consumer re-
financing with industrial and personal
finance loans, which now total about
81 ,000, ,000,000 annually in this country,
In restoring the purchasing power Of bor-
rowers, Is shown in a survey just an
nounced by L. c. HARRISON, president OF
the Household Finance Corporation,
one Of the largest Of the personal
finance companies.
Mr.. Harbison's survey disclosed that
100000, or 80 per cent of the SOC, 900
borrowers in 81 cities during the first
10 months OF 1882, used the money to
rednance themselves and restore their
buying power and standard of living.
These 100000 were mostly wage
'earners," said Mr.. HARRISON. Wage
cuts, unemployment and unexpected
emergencies the last few years caused
them to suffer an accumulation Of bills,
mostly retail and professional.
Our investigation shows the average
monthly income per borrower was
$15876 per month When they obtained
their refinancing loans, their obligations
were listed at an average of $189.37
each. Pressure from creditors obvi-
ously was crippling their living stand
ards curtailing their active credit and
purchasing power, and with the bills
due or overdue In lump, they were
unable to pay enough on them to make
much headway in liquidation or to in
crease their creditors working capital
to any extent.

scenes in so This Is Africa" re-
CURED $50 pounds Of liquid makeup
and the services of 10 makeup men
for three hours in order to trans
form that number of Hollywood
extras into wild men and women Of
the jungle. It is showing Monday
at the Capitol Theatre.
In this scene from Columbia'S
Wheeler Woolsey comedy, which de-
livers satiric dig at all Tarzan and
animal films, the Amazons are about
to devour Wheeler and Woolsey to the
accompaniment of much love-making,
when the Tarzans march into the en-
closure and save them from q sad fate.
Eddie Cline, the director, and the
casting director at Columbia spent
three weeks securing the extra ranks
to find girls tall enough and robust
enough to qualify as Amazons. They
all had to be at least five feet ten
inches tall. The men for the Tarzan
roles had to weight at least ITS pounds
and stand six feet, and be strong
enough to carry Amazons on their
backs and run through the jungle with
them.
Raquel Torres, Esther Muir, Henry
Armetta, Eddie Slayton and many
others constitute the excellent sup
porting cast for the co-starring roles
