WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—The stock market firmed up to net gains of fractions to more than a point today with turnover dull. Gains were held around noon, but there was no disposition on the part of traders to expand the advance. Steel held around 46-7i, up 1; Auburn 98%, up 2% ; Case 35Vi, up American Can 66>i, up 1%; Allied Chemical 75%, up 1%; American Woolen preferred 28%, up 1%; McKeesport Tin Plate 58 I,*, 1 ,*, up 1%; American Telephone 1264, up 1%, and New York Central 294, up %.’ United. States government bonds continued to advance in heavy turnover, and the bond market generally was higher. Wheat rallied more than a half cent a bushel, while cotton was up 8 to 12 points. Buying went ahead in local traction shares. The market, however, lacked aggressive leadership. Brokerage comment leaned to the bull side, several advising their customers to purchase stocks on further weakness. However, the general attitude was one of waiting to determine the trend of the market, now that it had lost nearly 50 percent of the gains made from Feb 10 to 19. It w-as believed in Wall Street that the federal reserve would change its policy toward one of easier money when the Glass-Stea-gall bill became law. Some looked forward to reduction in the New York federal reserve bank rate either this or next ■week.

BEARS DEFENDED BY WHITNEY IN PROBE

Exchange Head Tells House Short Sales Are Aid to Business. B.'/ United Pres ft WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Richard Whitney, president cf the New York Stock Exchange, said today before the house judiciary committee tha‘t the Exchange would have been closed months ago if it had not been for the stabilizing effect of short selling. Whitney was testifying in connection with proposed legislation to restrict short selling. He defended the practice, saying that without it. the market for securities would not have been maintained after the 1929 collapse. Whitney contended that without short selling there would have been a crash of values which would have had “disastrous effects on the entire S3W&

The Exchange’s regulation to prevent lending of stock without the consent of the customer, he said, was to clarify the Exchange’s position. This goes into effect April 1. Whitney said the Exchange had been unable to find any evidence of • bear raiding” in recent months as charged before the committee recently by Harold Aron, New York banker and lawyer. "We can find no evidence that a small group of speculators has organized to drive the market down,” he said. "In recent months bear raiding has not existed on the New York stock market.” Such short selling as went on, he said, normal lor a jpetwd.
