Market AVERAGES

that corporations are faced with
financial malnurition because they
can't raise money by selling equities.
The reason they can't market new
issues of common and preferred
stocks, it has been claimed, is that
(among other reasons Federal. in
come tax rates are too high. The
people who invest their money in
the Nations business, the people
with top-bracket incomes, this
theory goes. can't invest as much as
they would like because they haven't
got enough left after the tax col
lector takes his cut. Anyway, II they
do invest their money, it's prac-
tically waste of time because after
corporation dividends are taxed, the
same dividends taxed again on the
receiving end, there's little or moth
ing left.
Two Issues Sold Quickly.
Bethlehem Steel Corp, though,
sold an investment syndicate about
S20,0O0,000 worth of common stock.
The stock was sold after the market
closed at the markets closing price,
or $3.50 a share. 1t was an imme-
diate sell-out. The stock was snap
ped up in a matter of hours.
A few days earlier, another offer
ing of common stock was made. "A
block of 685 900 common shares of
Southern Indiana Gas g. Electric
Co. was marketed publicly by an
other Nation-w wide investment SYM
dictate at a price Of $3.50, or totaal
of 13,50O,000. 1t was sell-out.
What does it mean? Well, it
might be nothing more than a flash
TIA the pan. 1t might be that people
with about $50, 100000 lying around
in bank vaults and cookie jars sud-
denly decided that this week was.
good time to buy common stocks.
Or it might mean that people still
do have a lot of money to invest in
business; people who believe that
they'll get return on the money
they invest. and people who believe
that business and industry are not
going to the dogs.
More than one investment man
is coming around to the belief that
common and preferred stocks can be
sold to the public-if the securities
are priced attractively and If the
securities are properly presented, or
marketed, to the public.

Stock Values Lifted
Billion in Week,
Preferreds Active
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The stock
market worked its way upward this
week to the highest level since No.
vember 4.
Only once during the week was
the climb interrupted, and then only
to a slight degree. Day-to-day gains
were small, but they were enough to
boost the total market value of all
shares listed on the exchange by
around $1,000, 100000.
The markets behavior was notable
fo- at least one thing: News, good
or bad, seemed to have little effect
on prices. Intimations of Russian
cold peace, the Presidents inaugural
address and a large and successful
new financing deal involving COM
mon stock were shrugged off with
impressive calm. Repeated reports
of buyers market in various fields,
declining wholesale prices for some
goods and a scattering Of industrial
layoffs were politely disregarded.
Equally notable was the type of
buying ard the stocks affected.
High-grade preferred issues came in
for considerable attention as well as
a number of top-level common
shares Many of the usually favored
trading mediums, on the other hand,
were more or less ignored.
Address Well Received.
The Presidents inaugural address
was favorably-even warmly in some
cases-received in Wall Street as
we'll as other financial centers. A
furry of buying followed the address
but demand died out before it really
got rolling. Financial men, never
theless, liked the way President
Truman laid it on the line with
regard to the Nations foreign policy.
They liked the more or less implied
recommendation that private invest
ments abroad be guaranteed by the
Government And they liked the
promise Of an intensified foreign aid
program as a future Offset to the
possibility of slackening domestic
consumer demand.
Probably the weeks most prom
Using development in Wall Street
was the successful sale of two big
blocks Of common stocks. Invest
ment bankers, stock brokers and
dealers and others in the financial
field have been singing the blues for
a long time about a sour market for
common and preferred stocks. There
have been pontifical and ominous
statements from some of the best

President Truman yesterday urged
extension before April of the Re-

out "hampering restrictions" ap-
proved by the Republican-con
80th Congress.
He also asked Congress to extend
the new act until June u, 1851, in
line with his request to the Con-
gress last year. The old Congress
extended the law only until June
30, 1949, and inserted certain limi-

Egyptians Confirm
Agreement 10 Talk
Peace With Israel
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CAIRO, Egypt, Jan. s.-Egypt
confirmed today that she has agreed
to negotiate with Israel for Pal
estine armistice.
The Foreign Offices confirmation
(two days after it had been an
nounced by the U. N. mediation in
New York; marked a departure from
Arab policy dating back to 1899 of
holding no direct talks with Zionists.
1t was accompanied by some Egyp-
tian recriminations aimed at some
OF their Arab allies.
Abdel Rahman Azzam Pasha,
Egyptian secretary general of the
Arab League, said recent fighting in
Palestine had showed the regret
table hesitation of some politicians
IN Arab countries" an obvious ref
erence to the failure of Arab allies
to come to Egypt's assistance.
Iragi Premier Assailed.
Edgar Gallad Bey, publisher of
the influential Arabic Ell Zamane
and the French LIE Journal d'Egypte,
in a signed editorial said other Arab
countries had refrained from join
ing the recent fighting in the hope
that the Israelis would overcome the
Egyptians and open the way for a
Enff1ar1ar1f in tho iy3fn ~ Al
and Trans-Jordan.
Gallad Bey also wrote that Nuri
Pasha es Said, new Iraqi premier,
declared this week he would re-
new cooperation with the Arab
countries to save Palestine"
What does he mean by save
Palestine'?" Gallad Bey asked
This is the question which Cairo
puts to Baghdad. She is putting it
because she knows that if Nuri
Pasha does not change his old pol
icy, to save Palestine will mean
something contrary to what the
Arab League wants.
Azzam Pasha predicted that
fighting will reopen in Palestine
unless Israeli troops withdraw from
their newly won Negeb battle
ground.
Long Struggle Seen Ahead.
1--WE are still in the early phases
of the struggle for liberation of
Palestine" he said in a news con-
ference. I'VE have still before us
a long struggle which will take
many FORMS"
The spokesman for the league,
which represents seven Arab ma
tions, spoke pointedly of the fall
ure OF some of those countries to
help Egypt in the latest fight with
Israel. and asserted:
although the Egyptian govern
ment has been forced for various
reasons to accept a cease-fire Qast
June) while the Egyptian army had
the initiative on the battlefield,
there Is no doubt the Zionists will
not respect their pledges.
Thus, this phase Is similar to
previous phases, and anybody who
thinks battles will not be renewed
in Palestine will be mistaken"
He predicted this year would see
the tide turn toward hnal Arab,
victory In the Holy Land.
Many Issues Unsettled.
The latest cease-fire still leaves
many explosive issues to be settled.
Chief of these is the United Nations
Security Council demand that Jew,
ish forces withdraw in the Negeb to
the positions they held before the
Israeli advance began October IA
during the truce.
Another question Is what to do
about Egyptian troops isolated at
Faluja. The Egyptians contend the
Israelis refuse to permit these troops
to return to Egypt, and have at
tackled them repeatedly since they
were trapped in MIDI October.
Negotiation OF an armistice to re-
