In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 7.—Week-end reports on general business situation indicate a more satisfactory condition than at any other period this year. Production and consumption are being maintained at a high rate. Employment is gaining except in a few isolated cases and credit is sufficient to accommodate commercial needs, Europe is still building and one country after another is returning to gold basis. At the same time the American spirit of speculation has invaded the bourses of London, Paris and elsewhere. On the exchange traders give every proof that they still regard the price trend to be upward. Last week the motor issues held the center of the stage, while this week it may swing to the rubbers or rails or sugars, which industry, by the way, is showing every indication of better times. The I. C. C. statement that the O’Fallon hearing will be postponed until the end of the year may mean that anew plan for valuation of railroads will be found. One more reserve bank has increased its discount rate, proving that the reserve board has not changed its recognized position regarding the stock market. Hence it behooves traders not to overstay their markets. Seeks $20,000,000 Bond Issue WASHINGTON, May 7,--Author-ity to issue $20,000,000 of four-year 4 per cent gold bonds was sought Commission today by the Union Pacific Railroad. The new securities have been sold, subject to approval, to Kuhn, Loeb & Cos., at 90% per cent of par. Proceeds will be used to retire $20,000,000 ten-year 6 per cent gold bonds now outstanding.
