YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
MARKET UPWARD
YESTERDAY
New York, Feb. 4. Swan, Culbertson hx Fritz Dow Jones Summary of yesterday's mar ket: Railroad, liquor and rubber securities as well ae specialities to day advanced substantially. Railroad issues reached the highest level since 1934 on expectation that carloadings will be the best for the year.
The Dow Jones Industrial average is the highest since 1931, due to the advance in steel issues on earnings' outlook. Electric equipment gained, offsetting the decline in automobile issues when the General Motor Company failed to declare an extra dividend. Utility atorka angged on traders taking their profi
Stocks on the Curb Exchange were nctive and higher. The market for bonds was strong.
nre
Swan, Culbertson Fritz Wall Street Journal Comment:"It la pre- dicted that automoblie production dur ing February will be slightly below that of January. Technicians perplexed regarding the continued price rise. Bankera expect that the export movement of Gold will be small and short-lived. Brokers say that there is little speculation In high- priced stocks. It is likely that rubber prices will be stabilised since tyre companies are exhausted of cheap In- ventories. Cinema' earnings continue Batisfactory. Professional traders are growing more bullish."
S. C. & F. New York office cables: Stocks: A firm tone has been main- tained, with railroad, oil and equip- ment Racurities prominent. The fol lowing company earnings are for the venr 1936: Du Pont $5.04 against $3,66 the previous year; The Pacific Light Company $1.35 against $2.72 the previous year; The General Signal $2.18, against n loan of $342,150 the previous year. Sears Roebuck's a los
wero
up 18.1 per cent in January. Business failures during the past week amounted to 220, compared with 252 failurea the previous week. De- mand deposits totalled $14.017,000,000, against $18,836,000,000 the previous week.
Cotton: The President's proposal to repeal the Bankhead Cotton Act is 2. probably to liberate a considerable amount of quota cotton. This action indicates the scarcity of sunalles and the weak control polleles. The Smith plan for gradual liquidation of loan and Pool holdings is expected to ease the tight "root" situation.
