STOCK MARKET
SHOWS SIGNS
Of REBOUND
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, May Is QN.S).
The stock market gave as good
an imitation of a patient with
chills and fever yesterday as the
street has seen in many a day.
Whether the sharp rebound at
the close was the start of a real
technical rally due to an over
sold condition or just a variation
of the recent practice of putting
them down in the last half hour
is still to be proved.
There is no doubt that many
shorts pulled up their stakes in
a hurry at the close without wait
ing to find out what it was all
about.
The average trader is still too
nervous to stop and deliberate.
This was evidenced yesterday
when one trader bid 38 for
Chrysler when the stock was
coming out on the tape at 37b.
A similar situation was witnessed
in New York Central and the
wide fluctuations in other issues
indicated it was general.
Auto manufacturers were more
optimistic than was warranted.
it seems now. This is borne out
by the fact that dealers stocks
are now beginning to pile up a
little. too fast for comfort.
General Motors reported $4,000
cars in it's dealers hands at the
end Of April against 67,747 at
the end of March. This has
brought the conclusion in circles
close to the industry that the
inventory position is highly
vulnerable.
A dividend for Montgomery
Ward is again being spoken of.

PLANNING
To DIVORCE
AFFILIATE
By JAMES G. FLANAGAN

Dy JfANkG0 AkAKNkAIkAN
Treasury opposition apparently
having dashed hopes in banking
circles that a years postponement
might be granted for enforcement
of security affiliates, plans for seq.
regation of the activities of the
banking and security firm Of
Brown Brothers, Hartman & Co.
are being whipped into shape.
The plan contemplates, it is un-
derstood, the formation of two
separate firms to handle the bank
ing and security business now con-
centrated in the one firm, with
one of the Hartman brothers
heading each new unit.
E. R. Hartman would head the
unit formed to take over the bank.
ing activities of the firm, it is re.
ported in circles within the organi.
cation, while w. A. Hartman
would be the dominant figure in
the new organization handling the
security business. The present
firm has IA partners and holds a
membership on the New York
Stock Exchange.
Retirement of James Brown
from the firm on January /
brought to a close nearly a half
century of association with an en-
terprise which his grandfather
helped to found.
With a record of outstanding
achievement in the international
private banking field extending
from early in the past century,
Brown Brothers & Co. on Janu-
airy /, 1881, joined forces with w.
A. Hartman & Co., and Hartman
Brothers & Co. to form the pres
ent firm which soon will be split
into separate enterprises.

dwlndled to 5000 millions.
Residential construction has
taken it on the chin. In the good
years this item totalled 5000 mil
lions annually, but during the past
year it amounted to only 300 mil
lions.
News columns of the daily press
carry the outline of the Presidents
program, which some developers
feet is not that it should be, but
Frank c. Walker, executive direc-
tor. of the National Emergency
Council, has the supplementary
information.
Such provisions as have now
been suggested in proposed legis-
lation will not only put people
to work. but will permit them to
earn their money, Mr.. Walker
infers. He says the enormous
decline in the volume of con-
struction is accountable for the
country's largest single emer'
gency-relief problem.
This does not include merely
the building trades. It also in
cludes the millions engaged in
lumber and building materials
manufacture. It also includes
the railroad workers and truck
drivers who transport the ma
terial and middleman who re-
tails it.
All will agree that the Ad-
tninistration is on the right track
at any rate and that the pro-
posed legislation will knock our
old system of home finance into
q cooked hat.
Financing Of new construction
through the use of second mort
cages at exorbitant costs is a
thing of the past.
The charging of excessive fees,
In addition to high interest rates,
for the renewal of maturing
mortgages will be eliminated
through operation Of the Gov
errment's plan.
The practice Of making long.
term loans, such as three and
five year first trusts without pro-
vision for gradual amortization
out of the income of the bor-
rover will pass into the discard.
With the example of sound fl
nancing set by the Government
with its long-term single trusts on
homes already erected applied to
new construction and modernized
homes accepted by the general
building public, it is believed that
the depression has been beaten.
The best thing about the new
plan is that the Government will
not 80 into competition with pri-
vate capital, but will simply insure
private capital against loss if it
is wisely invested.
We extend our sympathy to
Charles Pozer. Fairfax representa-
tive Of the William S. Hoge firm.
At one of those congenial gath
erings over at the home of Fred
B. Richardson, Fairfax attorney,
last Sunday, Mr.. Pozer and his
charming wife were among the in
vited guests.
Mr.. Pozer was called suddenly
for business conference and ad-
vised his wife to take the family
machine and go ahead. He would
follow shortly.
When the hour for the party
drew night it was found that Mr..
Pozer had forgotten and taken
the key to the machine along in
his pocket and Mrs. Pozer had to
walk. It was only a block-but
it was a Fairfax block and af-
forded ample time for an indig-
nant wife to think up plenty of
things to say on hot spring
afternoon.

expenditures for the balance Of
this fiscal year and for the
coming fiscal year, which, in
the light of expected revenues,
called for a definite deficiency
on June 30, 1885, but, at the
same time, held out the hope
that annual deficits would
terminate during the following
fiscal year.
''It is true that actual ex.
penditures since January have
proceeded at a slower rate
than estimated: nevertheless,
it must be borne in mind that,
even though the actual deficit
for the year ending June 30,
1884, will be below my esti-
mate, appropriations are still
in force and the amounts
actually to be expended dur
ing the following fiscal year
will therefore be increased
over and above my estimate
for that fiscal year. In this
connection it is relevant to
point out that during the
fiscal year 1885 it is estimated
that there will be actually
expended on public works
$1,5OO.OOO,OOO out of apprO-
priatiOns heretofore made.
RELIEF NEED CONTINUES
In my budget message Of
January 3, 1884, it was pointed
out that there could be no
abrupt termination of emer.
gency expenditures for recov.
cry purposes, that the neces.
sity for relief would continue,
and that appropriations amount.
ing to S3,166,OOO,OOO in ad-

contained in the budget itself

fiscal years ending June 30,

already made appropriations
out Of which, for the two
fiscal years in question, 1t is
estir-ated there will be ex.

fact that no one could then, or

therance of this thought it
seems appropriate to provide
that any savings which can be

OPERATE ON
SMALL CHILD

PASADENA, Calf, March 81. U.P)
"A three-Weeks old baby today was
watched by medical men as it re-
covered from major operation to
relieve a diaphragmatic hernia-the
first case on record of this oper
alton on a child SO young.
When the child, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Roger S. Chrispie, was several
days old, it suddenly became twisted
and had difficulty breathing. Ply
sicians using X-rays found the dia-
phragm of the child had become dis
torted, moving the intestines up
ward and causing the right lung to
collapse.
AS the baby was apparently dying
slowly, doctors decided to operate.
Two three-and- a-half-inch incis-
ions were made in the abdomen, the
g1natic condition corrected
and the intestines moved downward.
When the operation was finished,
the child began breathing normally,
with the collapsed lung filling with
air.
The child has been placed in an
incubator, apparently we'll on the
road to recovery, physicians said.

CWA PROGRAM
ENDED TODAY

WASHINGTON, March 81 U.P--
The administrations civil works pro-
gram which cost 81 900, 100000 and
gave work to 100000 people came
to an end today with about 100000
persons still on the payrolls.
With the ending of the CWA, the
governments greatest experiment i'll
mass employment relief, Harry
Hopkins, relief administrator, an
nounced that all those still receiv-
ing aid would be transferred auto
matically to new constructive pro-
jects under the revamped federal
program. Hopkins said he had ap-
proximately $600000,000 remaining
from the CWA appropriations with
which to finance the continuing re-
lief work This sum was expected
to provide for work relief for about
30 to 40 weeks
Hopkins is hopeful that reviving
business will continue a gradual abb
sorption of the unemployed, thus
constantly reducing the load OF the
federal organization
Hopkins gave assurance that de-
mobilization OF the CWA did not
mean the end of federal relief.
The 100000 persons who remain

PRESIDENT TO
GO SWIMMING

MIAMI, Fla, March 81. U.p)-
President Roosevelt cruised today
in the vicinity of Andres Island,
one of the Bahamas group, trying
his luck at fishing for barracuda.
The chief executive. enjoying a
sea-going vacation aboard Vincent
Astor's yacht Nourmahal, also plan
ned, weather permitting, to go
swimming in the warm blue waters.
The highlight of the vacation
trip came yesterday when he en-
tered the quaint harbor of Nasusa
to receive a salute of 81 guns from
the British light cruiser Danae and
to be welcomed by Sir Bede Cliff
ford, colonial governor.
The President did not go ashore.
The Nourmahal will remain in
British waters until the return to
Jacksonville, Fla, April 6, where
the President will refrain for Wash
ington.
