Market Reaction
Now Regarded
As Healthy
Professionals in Street
Distrust Uninterrupted
Gains as in Past Month
BY b. c. FORBES

After its rather rapid advance
for more than a month, it was
logical for the stock market to
recede. To the layman it may
sound queer, but Wall Street pro-
fessionals distrust long-sustained,
advance. They re-
gard reactions as healthy"
The downtrend came last week
while news, on the whole, was
more favorable than unfavorable.
Southern Pacific paid its first
common dividend in a decade.
Other dividend changes also were
not all cuts.
Department store sales shot
ahead. On Columbus Day, New
York shops were crowded.
Banks reported expansion In
business loans.

ciable effect in curling imitation?

These taxes would probably
have only a minor influence,
since. first, they reach the newly
created inflationary income only
TO a small degree, and second,
they are collected months after
the income is received and

accepted estimates concerning

AWAIT ALLEGATIONS

Plate ALLEGATIONS for November
are awaited and il the pattern OF
the past few months is followed
70 to rs per cent will be for the
maritime commission. the army
and the navy, the former taking
most.
Results OF the scrap salvage
drive cannot be evaluated for an
other week, but large quantity
of miscellaneous scrap is being
uncovered, a great deal of which
has not yet been picked up from
its concentration points and car
ried to yards. When this is added
to accumulations already there a
heavy backlog will be provided for
preparation and shipment through
succeeding weeks.
A direct result Of the drive is a
better supply of current scrap for
steelmaking. which is reflected in
larger production in various areas.

INITIATION CONTROLLED

Initiation thus far is being kept
under control. Neither wholesale
nor retail commodity prices have
lately risen appreciably. Washing
ton almost daily announces new
and restrictions which
il avows will stabilize the cost of
living. OF is TO be hoped that other
states won't follow New York S

Riotous spending by individuals
and families now receiving far
higher wages than ever before has
not yet appeared. More working
forces are allocating 10 per cent of
their pay for purchase of war
bonds. And it may be significant
that life insurance sales are in
creaSing.
Tax trends in Congress are. on
the whole. somewhat more reas-
surfing. Employers, already strug-
Cling with unprecedented tax bur-
dens. heartily welcome keeping the
social security tax at the current
rate instead of doubling it, as pre-
provided by law.

NEAR CAPACITY

Most steelmakers now have SUI
ficient for as near capacity pro-
duction as furnace conditions will
allow and in some cases reserves
are being laid down for winter use.
An unusual proportion Of light and
low-grade scrap is included in con-
tributions from households. which
is difficult 10 sort and grade. Lack
of experienced labor is also a de-
laying factor in moving accumula-
tons from yards 10 steel furnaces
Steelworks operations advanced
one-half point last week. 10 % per
cent, as the scrap situation eased
and several open hearths were re-
turned to service after repairs.
Chicago advanced point 10 l03la

Other increases were at St
Louis. 3 points 10 81; Cleveland,

were unchanged at IS per cent
and eastern Pennsylvania at 90.

A HOPEFUL VIEW

A slightly more hopeful view is
taken of war prospects.
Hitler hasn't attained a single
one of his 1912 detectives; he
hasn't captured Stalingrad. Mos
cow, Russia's vital oil fields, or
Egypt. His loss of men has been
appalling. Destruction of materiel
is occurring far faster than he can
possibly replace it. especially as
the tools and machinery in many
plants must be wearing out.
German U-boats are doing less
damage. Sabotage on a spreading
scale among conquered countries
and the need for guarding against
the launching of second front by
the United Nations are causing
him plenty of distraction. So, from
all accounts. are seething condi-
tions in Italy.
Japan's many d e d onward
sweep has sustained checks, al
though decisive defeats have not
yet been scored by her enemies.
Vast numbers Of armed men are
being rushed from our shores to
fighting fronts-thus far without
loss of life.

COLOSSAL JOB

Some progress is being made in
evolving order out of chaos at
Washington. But the job is so
colossal that no human brain can
handle all phases of it efficiently.
The week brought youths of Is
and 10 definitely into line for the
draft. Widespread ALLEGATION of
manpower is clearly scheduled.
Also drastic rationing.
The American people are dem
onstrating that they can take it
overwhelmingly.
