Stocks Bounce Around

Since President Eisenhower
was reelected on November 6,
the stock market has bounced all
over the place.
Barring a really spectacular
upsurge this week and next, more
than half the New York Stock
Exchange list will close 1856 at
prices lower than the prices at
which they began 1856.
Had Adlai Stevenson been
elected, you might retort "of
course. This is Wall Streets way
of showing its dismay and un-
certainty about what the Demo-
Gratis will do to businessmen.
Before the election, it was gen.
orally rumored that the stock
market would be badly upset by
a Stevenson victory. But Mr..
Stevenson was resoundingly de-
feated.
Yet. measured by the Dow
Jones average, the stock market
fell 80 points between election
day and the end Of November.
Its December rallies have only
returned 1t to around the early
November level. Almost SIS per
cent are either down or un-
changed from the close Of 1855.
Why? The political climate is
favorable" Just about every
economic yardstick indicates that
general business never has been
at a higher level. Most Of the
forecasts for the economy in
1857 are, at the least, cautiously
optimistic, and many are ex-
ceedingly optimistic.
Why against this apparently
brilliant economic background
has the stock market been giving
an intriguing imitation of q rub
ber ball in the hands of an
energetic youngster?
There are lots Of reasons why.
and among the main ones are:
Uncertainty over the interna-
tional outlook. - The market
hasn't been anticipating all-out
war. But many investors are
highly sensitive to the uproar
abroad, worry about continuing
small wars and their drain on us.
Uncertainty over corporation
profits in 1957.-Behind the spec
tacular postwar stock boom have
been the higher profits of cor
porations and the bigger divi-
dend payments to stockholders.
But rising costs of materials,
manpower and money have been
putting a squeeze on profits; re-
Gently, the rate of dividend gains
has slowed preceptibly.
Uncertainty over how much
the Administration-Federal Re-
serve System policy of tight
money" will hurt in 1857.
Tight money has been biting
into business profits and the
ability of business to expand.
The cumulative impact of tight
money is a nagging worry of
investors.
Uncertainty over the extent of
the comeback in auto sales and
housing next year.-The auto
makers forecast a swell year but

Two of 18 Commodities
Cheaper Now Than in '13

Here's a question to test your
knowledge of the commodities
markets: Two of those commodi-
ties are actually lower than they
were in 1913. Which are they?
The answer is buried below.
Prices Multiplied
Guaranty's figures record
prices on the nearest market day
to the 18th of each month. Prices
for November of this year show
dizzy increases, in most cases
over those for January. 1918. The
rises range up to almost 800 pei
cent. The biggest increase was
in coffee. Santos No. 4, at New
York, went from 15l2 to go cents
la pound.
Here are the other changes:
Cattle: fair to choice native
steers, Chicago. per 100 pounds
$7.85 to $24.50.
Copper: electrolytic, New
York refinery, per pound II
cents to 35.87la cents.

bushel, from so cents for mixed
colors to $1.36M for yellow.
Cotton: middling, 70 inch
New Orleans. per pound. 12M
cents to 5000 cents.
Hides: heavy native steers
chicago, per pound, 1874 cents
ito 1912 cents; light native COWS
Chicago, 1914 cents to Is. Hides
are one of the two commodities
cheaper today.

(pigs and rough stock excluded
Chicago, per 100 ponds, $7.40 to
SLABS.
Ferrous Metals SOra
Iron and steel: pig iron. basic,
Neville Island, Pa, per gross ton,
$16.35 to $62.50; steel scrap, No.
Il heavy melting. Pittsburgh, SIS
Ito $58; steel billets, carbon, re-
rolling. Pittsburgh. from $29 per
gross ton to STA per net ton.
(The price base was changed in
l1948.)
Lead: common grade, New
York, per pound, 4.35 cents to
I16 cents.
Petroleum: crude at well,
Pennsylvania. per barrel, $2.05
Ito $4.68; Oklahoma kansas, 83
cents to $2.84.
Rosin: H grade, Savannah,
per 100 pound, $2.39 to $3.50.
Rubber: No. l ribbed smoked
sheets, New York. per pound.
Slip to 347s cents. That's the
second commodity to decline.
Silk: Raw. Japan AA staple or
equivalent grade, New York. per

1875 cents.
Those descriptions. such as
hard winter" "Ohio fine de-
laine." etc, are trade definitions
Of certain grades. usually those
most frequently quoted.
AS can be seen, the dollar isn't
as almighty as 1t was once.
