STOCK MARKET RALLIES AFTER INITIALLOSSES Traders Take Profits on Advice of Many Brokers.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials for Monday was 348 54, up 4.36 Average of twenty rails was 176.42. Average of forty bonds was 01.95. up .17. Bu tnited Press NEW YORK, Oct. B.—Stocks rallied today after irregularity had prevailed in the early dealings. A few of the higher priced shares and some of the more volatile cheaper stocks sold off, International Combustion being an outstanding weak feature, at one time being off 8 points. Profit-taking was severe in such shares as Radio Corporation, General Electric, American Can, Consolidated Gas, Montgomery Ward, United States Steel. American and Foreign Power, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Eastman Kodak and Westinghouse Electric, but all of these rallied from their lows under the lead of Steel. Traders were prone to take profits as a result of counsel to that effect sent out by most of the brokerage houses overnight. Several of the important houses stated there w r as little prospect of the broad advance continuing at this time, although most of them had specific recommendations of Issues said to be due for a rise. Trade Is Quiet Trading quited down under the volume of Monday in the first half hour, due to absence of large blocks. Sales In this period amounted to 675.600 shares, compared with 747,100 shares Monday. Tickers, nevertheless, were forced fifteen minutes behind as a result of a large number of small orders. United States Steel was depressed sharply after opening fractionally lower, and this helped other shares to decline. The Issue came back quickly, however, and Its rallying pow er instilled confidence into other weak spots. Amusements Strong Paramount Famous Lasky was a feature of the amusements where Radio Keith Orpheum was also strong. Special Issues like Columbian j Carbon, Air Reducation. Timken and Union Carbide also moved j higher. Call money declined to 6 per cent j from the renewal rate of 6%, accel- j erating the recovery. New York Central was well taken in the rails as was Missouri-Kan-6as-Texas. Strength in the carrier group was traceable to the reports for August and the first eight months by the Class 1 roads. For August these roads had net operating income of $141,436,100, compared with $128,435,630 in the 1928 period, a net return of 5.14 per cent for the first eight months net operating income was $827,734,976, against $686,081,631 in 1928. Crude oil output for the week ended Oct. 5 decreased 18.621 barrels daily, this favorable factor being reflected in further demand for petroleum shares where Houston and Jersey Standard featured.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. B.—Outstanding in the overnight news, and probably of more importance than a somewhat better tone to the trad-i reports is the announcement from the White House that Secretary Mellon will remain as head of the treasury. Apparently the administration has been concerned over the recent collapse of the security markets and its possible effect on general business. due in part to the recurring rumors of the retirement of Mellon. With this finally disposed one of the uncertainties that has been hanging over both the financially and business worlds is removed. Next in importance is the exceptionally good showing the railroads are making, with net earnings running 20 per cent ahead of any previous year. Unfortunately, we can not view the present high total of brokers’ loans in any such optimistic manner, and this modifies very materially the attitude we should like to take if this perplexing problem were not before us, although we do not believe that the railroad shares and the good oil stocks could much better withstand heavy liquidation than we could expect from the average run of industrials.
