SWAN, CULBERTSON & FRITZ LATEST REPORTS
New York, April. 13. S. C. & F. Dow Jones summary of yesterday's markets;
The fact that the Atchison Railway has deferred interest adjustment on its 4% bonds is regarded as a dis- couraging factor, but some selective buying was noticed on the Street. Westinghouse Electric have reported a profit for the first quarter, while other bright features included the improvement in the French situation, a decline in gasoline stocks and in- dications that some lines of business are being accelerated. Unfavourable features were the President's upposi- tlun to the Senate tax revisions, the poor prospects for steel, the critical immediate future in the railway situa- and the fact that Easter trade tion is nearly 10% below that of ast year, &F. New York correspondent cobles:
Stocks: The action of the market continues to be good, although eau- tiousness is in evidence pending the President's message on Thursday
Cotton:
The market to-day was quiet, awaiting developments at Washington with regard to the pro- Government spending plan.
