T,v0 Distinct Markets Seen
On Ne,U York Stock EXCHANGE

From the brokerage house point of
view, the rub is that commissions are
much less on the low-priced issues
which are kicking up so much smoke.
Friday, for instance, out of a total
market turnover of 2,500,00o shares,
the 10 most active low-priced issues
all selling below SIS a share-con-
tributed 1886, 400 shares to the total, or
more than 13 per cent. The percent
age contributed by all low-priced stocks
is, of course. considerably higher.
Stringent margin requirements ex-
plain why the public-shut out of the
standard shares-is playing with the
"cats and dogs"
One thing is rather certain. High
margins have reduced trading volume
and cut into earnings of brokerage
firms. With recovery on a sound foot
ing today, as contrasted with the flash
in-the-pan fiare-up of 1888, the mar
kets have had only q few days running
over 100000 shares. All of which
explains why Stock Exchange seats are
not soaring these days.

CHANGES SLIGHT
ON METAL MARKETS
Heavy Lead Demand Continues
but Copper Is Quiet-Tin
Quotations Lowered.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 8.-Non-
ferrous metals were without important
trends last week.
Lead demand continued as con-
sumers generally, and the cable trade
in particular, placed orders for March
requirements at unchanged prices.
While the domestic copper market
remained relatively quiet at the un-
changed basis of 9H cents for electro
lytic, export prices gained fractionally
on better demand, influenced partly
by the easier dollar in foreign exchange
and the need for replacement pur-
chaSeS.
Tin prices were lower, owing to the
action of London and the foreign ex-
change markets.
Reports of concessions of as much
as So ton on sales of zinc in the pre-
ceding week took the edge of the mar
ket, but generally steady conditions
were said to exist.
Antimony advanced u cent early In
the week, the second such advance
in recent weeks, owing to higher Far
Eastern and European quotations.

U.S.PLANS TO SPUR.
BUILDING AWAITED.
Compromise Program Likely
to Take Shape in Time
for Spring Drive.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER.
Associated Press Financial Writer

What the administration has in
store in way of new effort to acceler-
ate the pace of the leading laggard
in the recovery procession-building-
is expected to take shape soon, in
time for the Spring and Summer con-
struction campaign.
Authoritative quarters. after months
of study of the many-sided building
problem, look for a long-range plan
representing a compromise between
right and left wings along the New
Deal housing front.
Influential voices supporting a
middle-of- -the-road course have been
talking in housing discussions for:
% Liberalization of the housing
act to encourage broader use of its
permanent mortgage insurance pro-
visions, including authorization of
Government money to set up national
mortgage associations to supplement
discount facilities for real estate loans.
(2) Restriction of direct Federal
activity in mortgage lending and home
building, aimed to spur private in
trests into action.
80 Adoption of a long-range pro-
gram for subsidy of housing for the
lowest-income classes through loans
to local communities at low interest
rates, with municipalities contributing
part of the money and assuming de-
tails Of building, management, land
condemnation and so on.
Supporters of these plans maintain
they would give business recovery a
shove comparable with the force i'm
parted to industrial expansion in Eng
land by the heavy home building
there.
Housing experts have studied in
tently the mechanics of the English
boom, particularly the role of govern
ment assistance. There is a division
Of opinion, however, as to just how
much credit could be given to gov
ernment aid in getting it started
Commerce Department business in

the lowest rating among the major
classifications, despite considerable i'm
provement in residential building.
Its monthly building average worked
out at 81 per cent of the l923-25 aver
age, when the postwar boom was at
its height. compared with 80 for manu-
featuring, 81 for minerals, So for

REBOUND IN AUTO

New Sales Squirt Will Lift
Factory Rate Sharply,
Officials Believe.
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press staff Writer.

DETROIT, February 8.-Because it
has its dealer outlets we'll stocked with
various models of the 1886 lines, the
automobile industry's production di-
vision does not look for an upturn in
assembly line activity much before
March |.
BY that time. in the opinion of
most distribution authorities, the an
ticipated second wave" of consumer
interest will be reflected in retail de-
mand that should send factory activ-
ity well up toward the capacity level.
Bonus Payments Awaited.
The industry. which lost something
in the cancellation of A. A. A. pay
ments to farmers. is counting upon
the soldier bonus payments to stim-
ulate the purchase of a large num-
Der of cars we'll in advance of actual
payments to the former service men.

but, inasmuch as many used cars will
be included, the average for each car
is expected to be low enough to ac-
count for considerably more than $780,
600 vehicles.
Regarded as Small Part.
In the plans of the motor car
makers, however, this is but a small
part of what they expect to distribute
to consumers in 1886. Trade circles
are talking about the number of 1886
models sold prior to January l in the
calculation of consumer reaction to
the new models.
The more than 100000 units of
the new types assembled during the
final quarter of the year made it pos
sible for the production total for the
year to reach an aggregate-4,15O00 900
cars-that led motor manufacturers to
call 1895 the real recovery" year.
An intensive retail drive is in the
books to get under way as soon as the
Spring season brings the slightest in
dication of an upturn in consumer
demand.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, February 8.-Wall
Street has two stock markets on the
New York Stock Exchange these days
-qualitatively. An interesting mar
ket letter issued by Frazier Jelke &
Co. states it this way:
"Q) The market in highly specula-
tive issues, most of them selling for less
than $l2 a share, and (2) the market
in better grade stocks, especially the
medium priced and high-priced equi-
ties.
"The low-priced group" the letter
goes on, "has a very large public fol-
lowing, which includes numerous
traders who are buying quotations in
stead of values. The higher-priced
group has only a small public follow
ing, participation in it being confined
to larger investors and to those who
buy after careful investigation. There
Is, therefore, vast difference between
the technical position OF the low-priced
stocks and the technical position Of
the higher-priced kpes."
