WEEK-END APPROACHES WITH HOGS STEADY

REDISCOUNT RATE REMAINS STEADY; NOT DISAPPOINTED Rails Push Upward—B. &0. Goes to Highest Point in Twelve Years.

Average Stock Prices

Average ol twenty industrials Thursday was 157.97, up .sti. Average of twenty rails was 128.47. up 1.78. Average of forty bonds was 94.44, up .On. - Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 18. No expectation of a cut in the rediscount rate at the meeting after Thursday’s close had been entertained in well-informed quarters. Consequently there was no disappointment manifested in the action of the market in early dealings over maintenance of the 4 per cent level and stocks went ahead, with the forward movement in progress most of Thursday's session. High grade rails' continued to furnish stimulating leadership. Atchison pushed into the highest levels of record at 172%, up 1%, while B. Sc O. sold at its best price in more than twelve years at 115%, up a point, and good gains were scored by Delaware & Hudson, Norfolk & "Western. New York Central and other seasoned issues. Modified Proposal Selling of industrials gained considerable momentum at the start of the second hour, but the movement was arrested toward noon by development of fresh strength in many sections of the railroad list. Van Sweringen issues moved ahead sharply, on the prospect of early action regarding the modified Nickel Plate proposal now before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Chesapeake & Ohio achieved anew high on a current advance at 159. up 2%, while Erie common sold at its highest in more than twenty years, at 46, up 1%. Another Combine Another coneolidation expected to be given immediate attention is the long contemplated merger of Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville & Nashville. The latter advanced 2(4 to 138%, anew high for the year, while coast line moved up 2 points to 195%. Coast Line owns 859.670,000 outstanding $117,00(5,000 L. <S- N. capital stock and many believe L. & N. stock was purchased on recent weakness was for the account of the Coast Line. "While both roads offeiy attractive investment for long pull, many believe holders of L. & N. will receive greater rewards. They contend that eventually Coast Line will bring about the actual consolidation of L. & N., and that then the minority stockholders will be offered fancy prices for inclusion of their shares.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson 4 McKinnon) NEW Y ORK. Feb. 18.—No material imgrovement in the immedi,xtc outlook for the üban raw market occurred in Thursday's dealings. Pending a, more substantial buying interest on the part of domestic and foreign refiners, the market is barely holding at the 3% level. On the surface there % nothing apparently to encourage buying of futures; the trade position at present does not geeni to be sufficiently stabilized. But with underlying conditions satisfactory and consumption on the up-trend. X believe the opportunities for profit in futures lie on the buying side.
