Bn United Press NEW YORK, May 31.—Prospects of an extensive series of automobile mergers in the near future brought a wave of buying into the motor shares in the early dealings today on the stock market. Strength in this group was the signal for further bullish demonstrations in the rest of the list and the market as a whole became buoyant. New high records were made by Pit-rce-Arrow and Jordan which have been mentioned as a merger possibility. Briggs Manufacturing, which also might be included in consolidations, soared nearly 2 points to anew high at 3614. Heaviest trading was noted in Dodge and Chrysler issues following the announcement Tuesday these companies would fuse interests. Chrysler opened a point lower at 87 and held around that level. Dodge preferred which is exchangeable share for share with Chrysler, came into line with the latter, selling at 66, up 3Va points. Dodge common came out on the tape repeatedly at 27'4, but this was corrected to 17la, off 2 points. Later it rose to 18%. Many Motors Active Mack, Packard, Graham-Paige, Studebaker and White were strong and active. General Motors held firm at 192, up Va. Radio soared nearly eight points to 214, anew high record. Sears Roebuck was another favorite in the industrial group. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said. “Consideration of business and financial prospects over the holiday left the public in a state of undiminished confidence. Asa result buying orders werg in the ascendency in the early dealings and good gains were scored by the principal trading stocks.” Buying Broadens Buying broadened around noon under the stimulus of conspicuous strength in seasoned dividend paying issues. Call money was in good supply at 6 per cent with offerings outside at 5% per cent. But a more effective factor in restoring confidence regarding credit conditions was evidence of important buying in high-grade issues like American Telephone & Telegraph, American Can, Union Pacific and New York Central. With these issues moving ahead sharply, it was felt that the trend of good stocks toward a lower yield basis was still pronounced. With Dodge preference exchangeable share-for-share for Chrysler under the consolidation terms, the Street was puzzled over the wide disparity in the market price of the two issues. While official explanation was lacking, most observers accounted for the difference on the ground that the exchange would not be made until Chrysler sold exrights. Under the plan for retirement of Chrysler preferred common stockholders are entitled to subscribe to one new share at $57.50 lor each six shares held. i

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, May 31.—Undoubtedly the Chrysler-Dodge merger will awaken traders imagination to the possibility of other consolidations in the automobile and other industries. Old rumors will be dusted off and- presented for speculative consideration. The first of the month interest and' dividend disbursements will loosen a considerable sum of funds for reinvestment and naturally its effect will be felt. At the moment there are no indications what-so-ever of the Federal Reserve Board changing . its policy or for fundamentals in the money market to reverse themselves sufficiently to change the present outlook. In fact, the exportation of gold metal promises to continue. Therefore with these conditions and the fact that commercial requirements have been large enough to consume what might otherwise be slack, the question remains whether we might not find it necessary to become accustomed to higher money rates than were prevalent heretofore. A situation of this sort points toward alternate strength and weakness in the stock market in conformity with , temporary changes in money rates. Hence we think that the taking advantage of periods of strength is the advisable course.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 31.—Possibly the holiday will cause the sugar market to become more active than or, Tuesday. There is a fair amount of tonnage nearby which may be disposed of at less than the offering price of Tuesday and It is also believed that the Cuban export commission may offer fair price tonnage to other than the American market. However, summing the situation up, the future depends upon a revh'al of buying by the reflnd sugar trade and as the stocks of the trade are known to be low the general outlook -is view from an optimistic stand point. Ru United Press NEW YORK, May 31.—Sugar futures opened steady. July 2.69, off .01; September 2.80, unchanged; December 2.88, off .01; January 2.82, unchanged; March, 2.77.

PREDICT DAM BILLmSAGE Boulder Canyon Measure First Up in December. By RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON, May 31. —The Boulder Dam bill is expected to pass the Senate early in the next session of Congress as a result of victories gained by Senator Hiram W. Johnson in his final smashing fight for the bill in the last two days before adjournment. The gavel fell on the first session of the seventieth Congress Tuesday night with the Swing-Johnson Boulder Dam bill the subject before the Senate, and when the second session convenes in December it will be up for consideration on the opening day. The bill has passed the House. If it passes the Senate next December, plenty of time will remain in January and March for it to go to conference and be approved by the two Houses in identical forms before adjournment, even if a filibuster against the conference report is attempted. Anticipating that final enactment was to be dplayed until winter, both Houses of Congress rushed through before adjournment a resolution saving six months time in construction by providing that a board of engineers called for in the Swing bill to review plans and estimates drawn for the project shall be appointed at once and do this work during the summer instead of waiting for passage of the bill. These engineers are to be appointed by the Secretary oi Interior and are to make their report before the first of next October. PROBE VOTC FUNDS Senate Committee Asks Reports From County.

FORD TOO OLD TO RUN RAGES, DOGTORS WARN Physicians Urge Moderation in Exercise for Men Over 40. WASHINGTON, May 31.—When Henry Ford ran an impromptu run-dred-yard dash with the manager of his Chester. Pa., plant, the did a very dangerous thing. For despite his splendid health, he is in his 65 year, past the time when violent exercise should be a part of his daily life. Let Ford stick to his good oldfashioned country dancing and his hiking for his e terrise, advised one of the army surgeons here who has the task of keeping the Uncle Sam’s soldiers and officers healthy, and fit. Forty years is set as the age at which the vigorous athletic type of man must mrego competitive athletics and substitute that invincible competitor, age. tor companions of the athletic field. In a recent survey of the young old men of America. Prof. Eugene R. Whitmore of Georgetown Medical School listed Henry Ford along with Walter Johnson, Harvey W. Wilev, I Thomas Edison, John Adams and C.hauncey Depew as possessors of the art of keeping young. Bedroom setting-up exercises, gymnasium work, and dancing are j listed by Professor Whitmore as perj rnissible indoor exercises for those over forty. But marathon dancing and vigorI ous efforts, like the Charleston arc j barred.
