EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS IN TRADE LINES Political and Economic Developments Abroad Help Market. FEWER CARS MOW IDLE Special to Indiana Dai y Times and Philadelphia Public LeUger. By MONITOR. NEW YORK, March 6.—Developments during the last week, having in greater or less degree a specific bearing upon the present and future prices of securities, have been of unusual interests. They have included not only satisfying evidences of the progress being made at home in the processes of reconstrution, out als opolitical and eeonmic developments abroad which in some degree have found reflection in our security markets snd eventually must exercise a profound influence.

In the real progress of domestic economies the unprecedented, for this season of the year, decrease in idle cars is the most convincing evidence tuat commerce and industry are convalescing from the shock of after the war readjustment. Confirmatory evidence is supplied by the figures of larger operations by both the iron makers and steel mills of the country. An increase in steel making from IS per cent of capacity la*t June to G 1 per cent at the present time, reported by the United States Steel Corporation cannot be belittled as an <ndex of the progress made in one of the country's greatest basic industries. The evident acceptance by the building trades of “greements by which they ibandoned previous practices and regulations restricting output. Is having Its effect in increased activities in this line throughout the country. This has been oae of the greatest maladjustments in the whole economic field, and with labor apparently returning to a more sane idea of values, an attitude which has hindered much needed activity in a vital field, a resumption of building operations is indicated on a scale commensurate to supply the needs of the Nation. The financial community for some months has awaited with fear and trem bling the annual reports of the transportation companies and Industrial corporations generally, which would reveal the results of 1921 operations. The majority of such reports have been made public and few ot them have been as terrifying as most of the pessimists had predicted. It was not the unfavorable exhibit made public by the Republic Iron and Sieel Company which temporarily resulted in unsettlement in the security market this week. That unsettlement was due rather to the seemingly needless passing of the dividend on the preferred stock. Only In 1914, hac this payment been omitted since the organization of the company in ISB9. The disbursement required only about sl, 7.10.000 and with the report showing a surplus of nearly $30,000,000 there was a tendency in the financial district to criticize the ultra conservativism shown by the management. $t illustrated clearly the sharply changed frame of mind which obtains in industrial management now as compared with the booming days of war.

The annual reports of the railroads have proved generally more favorable than Wall Street had expected. Tbe repetition of labor troubles in progress or impending in tbe daily press In the last half of the year had conveyed the impression that the roads were in dire financial straits, an impression confirmed by many official statements issued by i railway eve-ittives. It is apparent now j that while the transportation system of the country was desperately sick at times, its condition never was so hopeless ns some of the outgivings implied. Satisfactory profits are shown in a large number of these reports and increased freight movement Is becoming a matter of weekly routine. In the foreign field first importance must be given the advance in the quotations of all the major ‘European exchanges to the highest quotations -recorded in many months. Sterling during the week sold above $4.44. and the highest price since tbe summer of 1920 when the quotation was S3.IS. Francs have risen from 1.80 last year t* more than 9 cents this week. In default of any new explanation for the latest advance, Wall street has ascribed it to the twentyyear treaty of defense between France and England. If this explanation of the immediate movement of the week Is correct, it indicates a reversion of the influences from the economic considerations which more recently controlled this market to the political considerations which dominated It in the early days of the Washington conference. It is probable that interantional bankers have underrated the power of political events in moving the market for exchange precisely as many of them underrated the nature of the economic conditions which were visible last summer. * While it is true that a rise in exchange rates on political developments is partly a sentimental advance, it is true also that sentiment plays a large part in the flow of gold and goods from one country to another. Sentimental influences of this kind easily might be more powerful in influencing exchange rates now than before the war.

It was almost a shock to the financial community to road during the week that Kgypt has been given its political freedom by Great Britain. The announcement caused only passing comment, but it is a development which must exorcise a considerable influence upon our cotton and cotton goods’ business. The event, for it may be truly classed as such, is remarkable is that Great Britain grants a political concession to gain an economic end. while Egypt used her economic supremacy in a given field to gain a po! .val victory. Just how far reaching t'- 5 may prove to be is indicated by the situation in which Lancashire found Itself. The textile industry there has been stagnant. There has been poverty and suffering among the mill workers with its accompanying social unrest; Lanmills are working, and this means that not ouly is unemployment relieved, but that American cotton again is in demand. In the long view it must react favorably upon our cotton growers and must also make its effect felt in the markets for foreign exchange. The possible fall of the Lloyd George coalition ministry looms large on the British political horizon. With his customary courage, the British Premier has demanded a fuller measure of support for the coalition as an alternative to his resignation. Whether his opponents will dare a general election now is a question, Lloyd George has achieved much In the recent months, not the least being a settlement of the Irish question, and on these achievements he could go before the country with a powerful argument for his retention. His opponents, could they wait until after the presentation of tie budget, would iind in it plenty of ammunition. But before them may come the Genoa conference from which results of such magnitude may result as to overcome the influence of the great budget ■which must be asked and carry the doughty Welshman again to victory. The British political situation is worthy of the careful attention of those who see in the future foreign relations the key '■o a great revival of our Industrie's. The week close* with substantial gains having been reported in all classes of stocks and bonds. There has been revealed a dearth of securities for sale at prevailing prices. Holders of securities evidently are firm in their faith for the future, and this confidence is shared by all of those persona who make a serious study of the fundementals.—Copyright, 1922 by Public Ledger Company.

STOCK MARKET CLOSES STRONG Leading Stocks Recover Initial Losses in Late Trade. NEW YORK, March 6.—The stock market closed strong. Nearlv ail leading Issues were In demand at the final trading and recovered most of their early loss. Consolidated Gas continued to be a 1 feature, selling up over 17 points to a closing of 106, following tbe Supreme Court decision. Brooklyn Union Gas advanced 11 points to So ..•. Steel Common advanced 94% and Baldwin Locomotive improved about 2 points to 105%. Corn Products improved 2 joints to 106. anew high for the year. The motors were strong, recovering practically all of their early loss." Government bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds steady. Total stock sales for the day were 792,800 shares; bonds, $16,496,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 6 Stocks were in plentiful supply this morning and for a while the selling was rather impressive. Recessions in values were quite general. The early news -ould hardly be called favorable. We bad two important corporate reports, each making a poor showing and in addition to this, the affairs in Europe did not look too good politically. It is of the utmost importance at this time that the English government should retain the confidence it has enjoyed in order that the plans for rehabilitating Europe should proceed uninterruptedly. The selling of stocks here was mainly of the profit taking order which seemed quite logically considering the extent of the advances that many of our leading issues have enjoyed. This is iu order notwithstanding the growing confidence in the ultimate recovery of all branches of industry. When tbe decision was rendered by United States Supreme Court in the Consolidated Gas < as--, pressure ceased. There was a sharp upward move in this issue and a sympathetic tendency to rally in the general list. This was followed by a period of dullness until late in the afternoon when Jt became apparent lhat fnenOs oi luadirt again exerting their efforts for a further advance. We are disposed at this time to attack more importance to the technical posit ion of the market than heretofore, and we are of the opinion that regardless of ultimate possibilities on Uje tong side, profits should now be accepted and be in a more advantageous posit >n to get benefit of reactions that are overdue. twenty stocks average.

GRAINS SUSTAIN LATE ADVANCES Commission House Trading Is Good Throughout Day. CHICAGO, March 6.—Grain prices closed higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. There was a general commission-house trade from the start. The demand was heavy, after a light opening. Weather over the wheat belt* was reported more favorable. Provisions were lower. May wheat opened off %c at $1.41% and, closed up 2%c. July wheat opened at $1.19*4, off lc, closing up 2%c. May corn opened off %c at 63%c and closed up %c. July corn opened off %e at 65%c, closing up l%c. Slay oats opened off %c at 40%c and closed up %c. J'uly oats opened at 42%c, off %c, and closed up %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 6 Wheat—The early decline in wheat brought prices some 10 cents under the extreme high point and uncovered not only a good foreign demand, but a noticeable improvement in the domestic milling trade. No actual weakness has been shown in foreign markets, iu fact, Liverpool and Buenos Aires prices are not far from the best of the season. This conditions exists in the face of our decline of 10 cents and in the face of very heavy world's shipments. The export business Leing done is mainly of Canadian varieties, none the less, there is a demand for United States Durum and Gulf, it is said that the foreign takings would be larger if offerings by Western shippers were free. Exporters are reported as large buyers of Durum wheat at tlie head of the lakes. Buffalo millers were buyers in Minneapolis and Minneapolis in turn is buying cash wheat in the Southwest. Winnipeg May wheat has shown more strength than Chicago and their cash wheat even stronger than the May. This is undoubtedly a reflection of foreign demand. The amount of wheat in Chicago in position for delivery on May contracts is decidedly small, if milling demand continues to improve, these accumulations will decrease, leaving the seller of the May delivery in a very uncertain position. It seems to us distinctly unwise to enter into sales of the May delivery, unless you are already possessed of the property. Further than this, we believe that the market is again about to respond to the strength abroad and the persistent absorption of offerings by importing countries. Corn anil Oats—The early decline in corn values proved attractive to the Eastern distributing trade, there being a better demand from that source than for a long time. There were .also, indications of a goodly export Lusiness, although no estimates have been made public. Tne size of the visible supply holds sentiment in check and prevent overentbnsiastlc buying. Offerinsrs from first hands are reported light. It is also believed that the present receipts are the cleaning up of stuff previously loaded in the country. The seaboard mentions export business in oats, but values here have made no response. Tin*® fact that tin' yisiblffvsupply does not decrease as rap- ] Idly ns had bqpn expecte I, keeps this market slow. Provisions -Somewhat lower hog* and , ttie early action of grains brought lbjui- ; dation in provisions. On the decline larger packing interests were buyers. Closing tone of the market is firm.
