In the Stock Market

ißy Thomson k McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 28.— Overnight developments are quite numerous and generally of a constructive nature. The policy of the Federal Reserve of further easing credit conditions has not been modified and the statement of condition shows distinct improvement during the last week, with local banks virtually out of debt to the reserve. Apparently further reductions in rediscount rates, both here and abroad, are not far distant.. From a market standpoint. it is likely, however, that the virtual assurance that the Steel Corporation is to receive a further refund from the treasury department amounting to about $3 a share, will again return this issue to market leadership and help to stimulate investment demand for the better grade of securities. The distinct improvement in copper metal buying along with more hopeful reports from the automobile industry should, we feel, in the near future serve to focus attention on the potentialities of these groups, which so far have been extremely slow in making market headway. Yields of many of the leading stocks in these two groups are so generous that we can not refrain from drawing attention to their possibilities, and we suggest that seasoned stocks In both of these groups merit consideration at around present levels.

Sheeley. president of the air line, advanced the cattle rustler theory and asked Sheriff Harry Capps to investigate.
