THE FOLLOWING IS A CABLE SYNOPSIS OF THE TRADER'S COLUMN IN THIS WEEK'S ISSUE OF BARRON'S WEEKLY: NEW YORK: MARCH 26 (SATURDAY)

The Trader says that liquidating pressure is apparently diminishing. Selling from overseas was considerably smaller than in the two previous

.war scares.

The market is unquestionably stronger than at any time since January and, unless a genuine crisis is brewing, the unsettlement should end within a week.

The huge monetary base and the influx of gold hold possibil!úcs of inflation and are further lessening the value of cash.

The Eastmen Kodak Company is proceeding with Its .common stock financing for business expansion.

Business conditions are generally stlt good, although forward orders are not inspiring manufacturers. The merchants' most con- servative policies are virtual guarantees against a recurrence of a fresh depression.

American investment trusts are not selling.

There is an absence of any dynamic surge in business or earning This is of leas power, and aggressive buying of stocks is incking. long range importance than threat of broad liquidating movement by investors or bank credits.

MARCH 20, 1939. FRANCIS I. du PONT AND COMPANY REPORT BY CABLE: STOCKS: The International Telephone & Telegraph Company's 1938 earnings totalled $1.10 per share, excluding Spain. The General Motors Corporation's truck retail sales up to the middle of March this year were 61 per cent. over the corresponding period of 1930. The company's unalled orders were the highest since September, 1937. Pittsburgh steel mill operations are up three points, equal- ling the recovery high mark.

WHEAT: The market was firm in spite of moisture in the Winter belt. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimates the domestic crop at 085,000,000 bushels. We expect price changes to depend partly on the marketing of the surplus in the Argentine.

COPPER: The price firmness in spite of the weakness of stocks sug-

gests the success of the restriction scheme.
