PROFIT-TAKING CITS GAINS JN OPENING MART Small Brokerage Increase, 4 Per Cent iVloney Rate Bring Buying.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Thursday was 121.13, off .33. Average of twenty rails was 142.37, off 1.19. Average of forty bonds was 99.19, off .04. Rri United Press NEW YORK, April 13.—The small increase of $15,000,000 in brokerage loans and the retention of the 4 per cent rediscount rate by the New York Reserve Bank brought heavy buying into the stock market at the cutset today. Trading was in heavy volume with I tickers dropping behind the market j in early dealings. Prices moved up two or three points in a long list of issues, with Anaconda, Consolidated Gas and Bethlehem Steel leading. United States Steel and General Motors were sharply higher, while Radio Corporation spurted more than four points and held most of it. Considerable profit-taking set in shortly after the opening with es- i pecial pressure concentrated on j General Electric, which declined more than six points to 151 f i. Bethlehem Spurted 2"<s to anew high at 68, Consolidated Gas 2% to a record at 152%, and Anaconda 2% to 69%. Hudson Motors, New York Central, Pennsylvania Railroad and Corn Products were in demand. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said today: ‘’Stocks scored sweeping gains in the early dealings in response to the continuation of the local bank rate at 4 per cent and the relatively small increase in brokex-age loans, j Operations for the rise were re- j sumed with fresh vigor. “Consolidated Gas jumped 3% points to 153, General Motors, General Electric and Montgomery Ward were other features.”

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 13.—Under present highly speculative conditions and unfathomable speculative state of mind, the most important question for investors and traders to consider is: “How much furher can they expect stock market credit to expand?” We know that commercial credit requirements are expanding and that continual gold exportation will bring changing money conditions insofar as the stock market is concerned. To us such conditions point to the possibility of violent price changes, and needless to say these changes occur without any great amount of warning preceding them. To cope with such possibility traders must adjust their accounts and state of mind, and so far as we know there is but one way. Be conservative.

STATE PLANTS 600,000JREES Farmers Will Get Half of Seedling Supply. More than 600,000 young fores, seedlings will be distributed thii spring by the Department of Conservation in an effort to return Indiana’s waste acreage into the profit column. The demand for seedlings about double each year and it is expected that in 1930 the Henryville nursery will be prepared to distribute one million seedlings. Os this season’s output, 300,000 trees will be sold at cost to farmers; 200,000 will be shipped to coal operators replant strip-mining fields; 20,000'will be used by the State highway department for roadside planting to help stop erosion on the fills and also for landscaping, and 75,000 are to be planted in the State forests, game preserves and parks. About one-half the output will be evergreens suitable for both timber and Christmas trees. The other half are natives, such as oak, poplar and walnut. Ralph Wilcox, acting State forester, said that more than one million trees are now growing at the Henryville nursery and enough seed has been collected to grow another million seedlings during the coming season. A large-sized cork is better than a cloth for polishing steel knives.
