& ) iS ae News and Gossip of To-Day’s Market—Present and Pu- ture Prices, i ne s Stock prices moved forward to-day confidently and vigorous, sroup participated in the rise, In certain specialties gain amounted to an much as 7 points or more, A large number of issues were able to gain between 3 and 5 points, The forward movement had its jni- tiation in an attempt by professional bears to cover their short contracts. For several days the market has stubbornly refused to be depressed by bad news. The collapse in the for- eign exchange markets, the thre@t of trouble with Mexico, the coal situa- tion and several other adverse factors were without effect. Consequently beats had become uneasy over their position and to-day they beat a hasty retreat. Brokers reported that there was little or no increase in public buying. ‘The forward movement was started + and carried on by traders who keep their ‘nose cloge tothe stock ticker and who are al first to take ad- vantage of the strength or weakness of the market's technical position. While motor and oll shares, with a few yolatile industrial specialties were leaders in the rise, it was noteworthy that coppers displayed a fair degree of bouyancy for the first time in quite @ number of weeks. Although copper metal has declined to 181-2 cents per pound, copper authorities are now willing to predict that a turn for the better in the metal situation has come at last, and that further price outs are unlikely. Money continued to be in plentiful supply at 6 per cent. for call funds, ‘and this, added to higher rates for foreign exchange, helped to bring about the improvement in specula tive sentiment. Also, news reqard- 2 iste coa) strike situation was encouraging, but it must be * mated ‘that epoculative Wall Street has not at any time considered the =< @ market factor of much mo- i market continued strong in late dealings, steel stocks making an eapecially good showing. Altogether, it was the best display the market hag made since the big smash which ccurred three weeks back. At that time brokers’ loans were im the close neighborhood of $1,- 800,000,000, It is estimated that Naquidation induced by the high money rates then current have rediced these Jeans to about $1,400,000,000, Trew brokers believe that there will be @ material increase in activity, oF |{ ‘that a pronounced trend will develop in the genbral list until after the first | of the new year, when it is expected c that money conditions will materially improve. However, ft js quite possible that these calculations will be upset. The Supreme Court reconvewes next Mon- day and there are fair prospects that two important decisions ‘will be handed down. One involves the con- stitutionality of the dry law and the other involves the question of whether tock dividends are taxable. Ne lutter is, of Course, of much the greater :mportance to Wall Street, al- though officials of several big banks, ch are holding millions of doll of warehouse receipts on donde spirituous liquors will draw — deep aixhs of relief if the Court finds the ‘dry law unconstitutional, it is known that the stage has been set for a further big bull campaign in stocks if the stock tax decision’ is favorable, And big operators have been advised by leading lawyers that it undoubtedly will be fuvorable, Muny of these stock market opera- tors would prefer to have the stock decision come after the holidays. They figure that it will then have much greater effect. By that time year-end interest and dividend disbursements will have been made and money con- ditions will, it 1s expected, be propi- tious.. Less effort will then be re- wh quired to lift prices and there will be less strain on BOA sCial: resources, JANKING AND FINANCIAL. & bbher Impertant new developments tm Perfection Tire make this priced stock mere attrac- 4 than ever, Send for my new revert, which «ives all the latest mews and stock ’ market ition.
