Gently showing signs of a spring

Immediate Reaction
The immediate reaction in the

German move in the north echoed
family the spectacular stampede Of
war buying at the start of the strug-
gle last September. Demand for
metals and textiles increased. Some
commodity prices advanced. Bond
prices we'll.
After the first buying furry, how
ever, uncertainty ruled in security
markets as financial circles pond
cred whether increased war trade
with the Allies would offset loss of
business with Scandinavia. The fight
ing in Norway, casting doubt on her
future status, added to the confusion.
Heavy buying in paper, meat pack
ing and shipping shares gave these
group Independent strength in the
stock lists and emphasized two major
industrial trends in the United
States emerging from the war:
(1) Relative rapid expansion in GER
tain war industries, notably aircraft
manufacturing, shipping and metals,
and rise of exports in these lines.
(2) New impetus to development
of self-sufticiency in some industries,
as in chemicals and shipbuilding.
Norway, Sweden AMI Finland have
been big suppliers of wood pulp and
paper to this country. Imports Of
wood pulp from these sources
amounted to ID per cent of domestic
consumption last year and Ga per

Other Market Leaders Lin
ger, With Losses And
Gains Spotty
By FREDERICK d

NEW YORK, April 13- Up -
Leaders generally fingered by the
wayside in today's stock market
while aviation, shipbuilding and an
assortment of specially issues finish,
ed the week with a strong upward
trend.
Prices were mixed from the start
and, at the close, losses and gains
running to as much as 2 points were
pretty evenly divided. A number of
favorites bounced into new high ter.
ritory for the year or longer.
Scant Inspiration
The days news provided scant in.
spiration either way, and many trad
ers cleared decks for possible foreign
eventualities over the weekend.
Lack of definite information regard.
ing the British-German conflict in
Scandinavia served to dim specula-
tive ardor in the majority of cases.
Then, too, the cut in steel quotations
yesterday still was a chilling market
factor.
The brighter outlook for the ship
ping industry, due to bigger naval
construction and replacement of Eu'
ropean war sinkings, brought sup
port for stocks in this group. Air
craft and airtransport shares re
flected the likelihood of larger or
ders for fighting planes from the AL
lies and rapidly expanding domestic
passenger traffic. Earnings prospects
brought followings to individual is
sues.
The Associated Press average of 81
stocks was unchanged at sos, bu1
on the week showed a decline of s
of a point after three consecutive
weekly upturns. The lengthy stale
mate was exempliied by the fact the
composite a month ago stood at 1913
while a year ago it was at AT.
Dealings for the most part were
comparatively slow. Transfers to
tailed 495,370 shares, smallest since
March 23, against 710,47O last Satur
day.
Touching new 1910 peaks were
Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft
Lockheel, American Airlines, Eastern
Air Lines, Wil1ys-Overland common
and preferred, Electric Boat, N. Y
shipbuilding. American = Hawaiian
Steamship, Martin-Parry and Chick
asha Cotton Oil.
U. S. Steel and Bethlehem held
minus marks to fractions.
