Optimistic Outlook
Reflected in Stocks
After Unsteady Start
By T. E. AppIegote

NEW YORK, April 3 (P).-Selec-
tive improvement appeared in the
stock market today, although some
pivotal issues failed to respond.
Better views of the international
outlook in the wake of the Rus
sian and Iranian replies to the
United Nations Security Council,
plus a scanning of inflationary
aspects of possible wage boosts re-
sulting from the soft-coal strike,
served to prop sentiment. Acting
as restraints on buying were doubts
over earnings and dividend pros
poets.
Irregularity ruled a fairly active
opening. A number of rails and in
dustrials attracted support later, and
near the fourth hour plus signs were
in the majority.
Advances of fractions to two
points were registered at times for
Santo Fe, Chesapeake & Ohio, Union
Carbide, Wyandotte Worsted, East
man Kodak, ohns-Manville, United
States Rubber, International Har-
Vester, Douglas Aircraft, United Air
craft, American Can, Goodrich,
American Telephone, North Amer
lean, R-K-O, Republic Pictures and
Chrysler. On the offside much of the
day were General Motors, Wool
worth New York Central, Philip
Morris, Western Union "a" and
Deere g. Co.
Bonds were narrow and commodi-
ties mixed.
In the curb, advances were regis
tered by Sterchi Bros. Stores, Miller
Wohl, Technicolor, Beaunit Mills
new, Illinois Power, Electric Bond
& Share and United Light and
Railways.
Concern over profit prospects tenn
pered the reaction of boardrooms
to the Snyder reconversion report
that United States civilian produc-
tion in excess of s15O,00O, 900, 900 was
at the highest level ever reached
One market analyst suggested a
price rise of about % per cent for
finished products was needed to
bring earnings Of manufacturing
companies up to truly prosperous
levels which would support fully
the present stock prices.
The return of total private wage
and salary payments almost to the
pre-V-J day level of $82 900, 900 900
annually, as related by Mr.. Snyder
and other reports that the Nation S
rate of saving has declined, were
seen as tending to maintain infia-
tionary pressure.
Power shares had to contend with
the report of the Edison Electric In
stitute that distribution of 1892 ,283, :
600 klloWatt hours in the week ended
March 30 was 7.8 per cent under the
corresponding l945 week.

Rathje Talks on Credit.
Frank c. Rathje president of the
American Bankers Association, told
the Morris Plan Bankers Associa-
ton, meeting in Chicago. that the
banks have proper role to per-
form in the consumer credit field,
but warned against too rapid an
increase in such loans at this time.
An over-large volume of this credit
would have an inf1ationary result
he said.
The meeting was attended by Lin
wood P. Harrell, president of the
Morris Plan Bank of Washington,
and G.. M. Underhill. executive di-
rector of the Morris Plan Bankers
Association, which has headquarters
here. Mr.. Harrell is vice president
of the national association.
