The hard and timely hitting of “Cheta” Baker, Haskins and Me- Collough featured the game for the Sailors, while the difficult grab of a line drive by Lieut.

By VICTOR: EUBANK Associated Press Financial Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—The stock and curb markets took most of their cues from Washington dur- ing 1933 and the ups and downs of equities were predicted largely upon activities centering in the capital. In the early spring gold hoarding reached a high peak as hundreds of banks closed through- out the nation and bankruptcies swept the country. Semi-panicky conditions ruled and the average for 90 selected stocks. dropped to the year’s low at 43.9 February. 27. Some 1,- 258,000 shares changed hands on this day. The average attainedvits; 1938 high at 96.9 July 18 with a turnover of 6,605,000 shares. The pulse of the stock list be- gan to beat more rapidly when congress ‘passed the farm bill with its rider giving the president dras- tic powers for currency and credit inflation. Stocks started upward with a bupyancy recalling the boom days of 1929. Roosevelt Closes Banks . Pregeding the upturn, one of President Roosevelt’s first acts on assuming office was to close all banks and announce that only sound institutions would be per- mitted. to reopen for unrestricted business, With bank runs stop- ped si trade began to pick up, along with stocks. Changing of money into, goods and equities became quite general when it'was realized that congress had invested the president with authority to reduce the gold con- tent of the dollar by 50 per cent, to print some $3,000,000,000 in additional currency and to em- power the federal reserve system to purchase in the open market around. $3,000,000,000 of govern- ment securities, Gold Standard Abandoned The rush for equities attained its full momentum following the president’s decree in April, divorc- jing the country from the gold standard. Speculative forces rode fast and furiously toward high | price levels envisaged in a drastic expansion of years. Stocks High Im July In July stocks had advanced from 50 to around 500 per cent above the year’s lows. In the lat- ‘ter part of July, however, « tile | long overdue reaction brought the: isharpest slump. On July 19, 20 and 21 the share ayerage dropped } 4.8.8.2 and 7.3 points, respec- , tively. There was a recovery of 6.3 points July 24, and thereafter the st moved up and down with con- | siderable. irregularity. From a low of 76.6 in July, the average worked back te 89.6" in | August, fell to 76.6 in September land lingered between 68 and. 82 {in October. The movement was relatively narrow in November and December. { With the announcement in Oc- \tober that the government woulll buy newly mined domestic gold’ at! prices above the world market, equities again rallied for a time. The dollar fell sharply in terms: jof leading foreign exchanges. During the summer and fall stocks moved up as the dollar declined and usually sagged when it re. covered. i The year ended with indications of further improvement in tradé’ and industry.
