For Saturday Since

BY VICTOR EUBANK,

l l
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The stock
market got back on its feet today
after yesterdays sharpest stumble
since early November.
Active buying at the start reversed
the downward trend and gains of
fractions to a point or so were soon
well distributed. Dealings then
Slackened and at the close of the
proceedings prices backed away here
and there.
Transfers of around 400, 900 shares
were the largest for any Saturday
since late December.
Aside from a slight easing of
tension over Far Eastern affairs.
steadying inclinations exhibited by
the list were attributed partly to
the belief of analytical circles that
Fridays selling might have been
overdone and that the reaction pos
sibly had discounted lot of bad
news from Europe and Asia. Bid
ding also was inspired by the idea
of some that the substantial wash
out of the previous session was in
the nature of climax" and that at
least technical rally was called for.
Among better acting shares were
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler, Sears
Roebuck, International Harvester,
United Aircraft, Glenn Martin,
Westinghouse, Union Carbide, East
man Kodak, General Steel Castings
Western Union, Anaconda,
Texas Corp, Santa Fe, Great North
ern and Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Japanese and Australian dollar
loans retrieved portions Of their
losses and secondary rail bonds were
given lift. Commodities were mar

Peoples Drug Votes
Accent Dividend
On Common Stock
Quarterly Payment
Compares With rs
Cents Year Ago
By EDWARD G. STONE.


Directors of Peoples Drug Stores
Inc, at the February meeting yes
terday, declared a dividend of 4O
cents per share on the no par COM
mon stock, payable April to stock
holders of record at the close OF
business March 3, it was announced
at the head Office today.
This is larger dividend than was
voted year ago, when the company
paid 25 cents per share. Peoples
Drug in 1910 made payments of 25
cents each quarter, plus special
dividends of 25 cents each in July,
October and December.
Banks Make Defense Loans.
Washington banks and many
others located in the Fifth Federal
Reserve District are making mod
est number of defense loans and
are anxious to make a great many
more, Wilmer j. Waller, vice presi-
dent and cashier of the Hamilton
National Bank, said today. Mr..
Waller is a member of the Amer
lean Bankers Associations Defense
Loan Committee and chairman for
this territory.
AS the Capital is not an indus
trial city. the demand for these
loans is naturally limited. But the
banks here have been making such
loans and others are in prospect.
Virginia and North Carolina are
being especially active in the drive
to furnish bank funds for the pres
ent defense effort. Figures are
not yet available as they are for
warded to the A. B. A. Office in
New York.
Jesse H. Jones, Federal Loan Ad-
ministrator, has just announced
that the banks are now making "all
the defense loans that are wanted"
and a similar report comes from
