Closing 7o4o Averages

stock yields coupled with a COM
paratively high degree of safety
was we'll illustrated by the fact
that many large investors cashed
in their corporate bonds to buy
blue-chip stocks. They were dis
satisfied with bonds which were
priced at close to the lowest yields
in history.
When the market finally did
start to advance, it hurdled some
high barriers with complete ease.
Nothing seemed able to stop it.
The steel and coal strikes, for in
stance. had little effect.
During the rise the outstanding
short interest built up to the big
gest total in II years, a clear sign
that some traders had no very
bright views about the future.
This lack of foresight, incident
ally, turned out to be a costly mis-
take for more than one speculator
who had to cover his short posi-
ton with the price up S, 10 or
90 points.
Helping to push the market
ahead during the fall and winter
months were a rich flow of cor
poration dividends and corporate
income reports that in many cases
were far better than expected.
Imitation Threat Felt.
And in the background was the
now familiar threat of imitation.

district was convinced that the

Recovery From Mild 1949 Recession Expected to Continue
Stocks End'49
Riding Crest Of
6H-MonthR Rise
By William D. horeon
Associoted Press Market Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The
Stock Market sailed into 1850 rid
ing high on the crest of a 612-
month advance.
Industrial stocks, on average,
were priced at the best level since
August, 1916. The general average
was just under the highest mark
of the past three years,
Since the current advance
started to roll in mid-June the
market value of all stocks listed
on the exchange has increased by
around $14,000,000, 900.
At the year end the market ap-
peared on the verge of breaking
out of one of the narrowest price
ranges in the history of stock
trading. During the first half OF
the year it was distinguished
mainly by an exceptionally drab
performance.
Prices Plunged in May.
After the presidential election
in 1948 stock prices nosedived.
Prices then leveled off and stayed
leveled until we'll into 1949. In
the middle of May, investors
plunged into a mood of acute
pessimism and within one month
prices cracked to a 4l2-year low
BY all the rules, mid-June was
no time for stock prices to ad-
vance. And it was certainly no
time to lay the foundation for a
month rise. The economic
climate was chilly and the predic-
ton was for sub-zero weather.
Industrial production had been
declining, personal income, en-
ployment, retail sales-au the ba-
rometers were dropping. Worriers
claimed, and they appeared then
to have some justification for their
claim, that the long overdue post
war recession was shaping up.
The turn didn't come until Aug
ust. In the meantime, though, the
market had made its move. Tim
idly, and with numerous minor
setbacks, prices curved upward.
Serves as Barometer.
The market, in short, was acting
as II should have acted after the
war. Evidently. though, it took in
vestors and SPECTATORS several
years to recognize the fact that
business was booming and gave
every sign of continuing to boom.
Just why the market turned ur
! in June is a difficult question The
, most likely explanation seems tt
|. be that traders arrived at the con.
. clusion that stocks were at bargain
prices.
A basic yardstick for measur-
ing the value of a given stock Il
the yield it offers, which is the
; relationship between the marke1
. price and the dividend rate. Ir
mid-year scores of top-grade
stocks were priced to give extra.
ordinarily generous yields.
At the year end, despite the long
advance, many stocks were still
priced to give unusually high
J yields.
} Funds Shifted to Stocks.
Chances seemed excellent at the
year end that a high rate of cor
porate dividends would be main
tanned at least through early 1850
and that stock yields would con-
tinue to be attractive.
The drawing power of high
