STOCKS DISPLAY GREAT BUOYANCY AFTER HOLIDAY Genera! Electric Jumps Four Points in First Hour Trading. ‘WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, May 31.—Developments over the holiday furnished further evidence that fears regarding the business let-up had been carried to excess. The Federal Reserve statistics showed that while sales in April were 9 per cent below mark, they were 17 per cent above that the Gary rail mills were booked ahead for a year, demonstrating that ample steel business was in sight, and both industrial and rail stocks showed a confident tone in early dealings. First Hour t *■ Industrials developed more strength as the • first hour progressed and buoyancy was evidenced by several stocks before 11 o’clock. Mack trucks and Stewart-Warner made new highs on the move in the wake of Studebaker's up-swing while General Electric jumped almost four points in response to unprecedented business. Stimulation was derived from the favorable character of labor developments over the holiday. Second Hour Trading slackened in the late morning, but no selling pressure developed to disturb the advance of individual stocks. California Pete threw aside the reactionary tendency which characterized its movements earlier in the week, advancing almost three points, while American Smelting reached anew high on the move, reflecting expectation of the return of the common stock to a dividend basis. Noon Hour Strength in equipment stocks was practically the only feature of the noon dealings in which Baldwin reached anew high on the move in response to President Vauclain’s statement that the company had booked orders aggregating $55,000,000 In the first five months, against $10,000,000 in the corresponding period in 1922. , Fourth Hour The market turned dull in the afternoon and the volume of trading was materially reduced, but the gains scored by the speculative leaders in the morning were maintained without effort in the absence of any selling pressure. With the list so quiet little attraction to the speculative family was seen in the slight changes which took place. Closing Hour Despite the extreme dullness that characterized the afternoon tradyig, the day’s market session was regarded as more remarkable for the number of strong spots which cropped out than for any special selling. Stocks all day displayed a disposition to break away from the lethargy which characterized Tuesday's market.

FAILURE OF BROKERAGE FIRM UNSETTLES CURB Market Turns Easier but no Delude of Sales Occurs. By United Finnneial NEW YORK, May 31.—The announcement of the failure and suspension from the exchange of Jones & Baker caused a wavs of forced selling from the account of the firm today and in the later trading saleo under the rule almost monopolized the market. Usually a situation of this sort forces the market rapidly downward, but while the market naturally turned slightly easier there was no plunge in stock values. However, the trend of the market was distributed. It had been firm up until early afternoon, and it did well to hold steady afterward. Howe Sound, a mining stock, was one of those very active on the forced selling. The higher priced stocks were less in evidence, although some Standard of Indiana came out a about a half point below the day's best.
