WALL STREET IS ENCOURAGED OVER 2 CAR PRICE TREND Fractional Recoveries in Baldwin and Can Stocks, By United Press NEW YORK, May 13.—Wall Street was not greatly impressed by La Follette’s proposal to run as an independent candidate and stock prices displayed a steadier tone in the early dealings. Fractional recoveries took place in Baldwin, Can and other industrial leaders. Encouragement was given by rhe statement of President Sloan of General Motors that the trend of automobile prices this sum, - would probably be upward. Rails maintained a confident tone, apparently unaffected by the Senate’s resolution directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to relieve basic industries, especially agriculture. Opening prices: Union Pacific, 13114; New Haven, 19%, up Vi; Studebaker. 32 %; Norfolk & Western, 122-Vg; Baldwin, 10S, up Vi: Kennicott, 39, off Vs'.

Trading Light Price in the main body of stocks were steady in the late morning, holding the recovery scored around 11 o'clock, but making no further progress on the rally. Trading was light and speculative attention mostly devoted to special movements. Famous Players moved up more than 3 points from Monday's low, selling at 71%. This movement was based on expectations of important improvement in earnings during the second quarter as a result of receipts from several big pictures recently released. Crucible steel duplicated the low for the year at 46%. reflecting the slowing up of business in the steel industry. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearines Tuesday were $3,745,000. Bank debits amounted to $6,508,000. POLITICAL SITUATION GOOD FOR BUSINESS Kuppeheimer Says Dawes’ Plan I’romises Normalcy. (By Thomson 4 McKinnon) Kuppenheimer & Company of Chicago express considerable optimism a review of the business situation issued yesterday. They stress the Dawes plan as bringing promise of normal trade with Europe and its resultant benefit to the agricultural interests in particular. They express the belief that after the recent oil scandal, politicians will be very cartful about interfering with business, and concludes by saying: “The political situation holds the best news of any for the business mar.—the promise of tax reduction, there has been delay and the amount has not been decided, but the tax burden will be lifted and with it will come relief to business in many forms."
