Cashier NRW YORK. Nov. 9. Active trading In the stoclc market was displayed loilny. Trading strength nml weakness left the mnrkct nt tho cml showing llttlo net change In tho majority of Issues from e8tcriln'H final price, lrtcgtilui Ity nt tho opening was followed by vigorous advances nil through tho list, with many stocKs link ing gains of 3 to 4 points, but lifter these gains dealings Mulcted down, ami when moro ncthlty prevailed a reaction occurred, which wiped out many previous gains. Marino preferred, which closed jesterd.iv nt 114, rose to 9"t, nnd then te nded to 95 In tlio final .trading. United Stutes Steel common moved In the same way, advancing 2 points to 0'i. and then declining more than I point, und Ileth hem Steel B, after advancing 34 to 7S?. lost the gi enter part of Its gain. There was lenewed liquidation In General .Motors which made that stoik exceptionally heavy all through the day nnd forced It from 81 to the new low record of IS1), Many of the railroad stocks were In better demand us the result of tho Washington advices that tho Federal Board Is considering acceptances of rail road notes for rediscount It is generally tttidei stood lierc that corporation notes will be accepted, und that, nlso, It wna stated that the $:'f,000,OOU Amcr lean Tobacco notes will be accepted by the Tederal He-servo Board. The belief prevailed that this action will facilitate a icsiimpt.on bf lallnad maintenance and Improvements on n largo statu that must be lellected In un Increased domestic demand foi Mulshed steel product nnd other manufacturLS. The most Important feature of the bond market was the det'lno In I,lbeity 314s to the new low record of 99 28. liargains in Railroad Securities In the midst of the present depression In values, one of the Important und refreshing phases of the general situation is the strong recommendation for their put chase being given bj impoitnnt interests In the Street. There arc many influential Interests who are advocating the purchase at these levels of nil lallrond securities that are known to be intrlnslcallj worth much moro than they nro selling for. It Is being pointed out in banking circles Hint the list holds forth bargains that have never before been offered, and this with virtual assurance of rato advunces In tho near future. In this connection It may be stated that very little doubt clsts tint the Interstate Commerce Commission will mako a favorable decision In the eastern roads' rate case. This Is initially seen In the action of shippers In not ener getlcall opposing the claims of the Carrleis nnd who havo gono on record ns willing to abide b the commission's opinion. Of course, such Increase us maj be given will not Miow In net earnings until net j car, but Its face value will help tne situation great'j and assure contin uation of dividends by roads that arc now only earning their fixed rato b) a scant margin. As nn instance of the way some railroad presidents feel, the statement by Daniel "Wlllard, of the Baltimore and Ohio, at the rate hearing, that ho did not know whether the C per cent on his common stock could be maintained, as tho margin of surplus over It was small, may" be cited So, with larger net In prospect thiough increased rntes. there Is small doubt that his directory will vote to hold the dividend ut the present tigurc 04 14 II so 7V.4 101 A2K.
