INDUSTRIAL STOCKS STAKT
NEW- YEAR WITH GOOD GAINS
lfaotor Shares Are Strongest, With General
Motors Up More Than Twelve Points.
Steel Attracts Interest
, NEW Y6llK, Jnn. 2.
Stock trndlriK In the new year started with another tlcmonstrutlon of
bull power which many believed to Indicate the nppearnnco of Important
banking Interests and institution, which, after reducing lines of Btock
early In December, have now taken h new position, bccaimo of tax pur
poses having been completely served, and nrb putting stocks back In their
assets, which they .forced on tho mnrket ut much lower levels.
Thero was plenty of bullish Incentives' found In tho moriilng's news,
with the general belief that peace "Is In the nlr" being confidently ac
cepted by many as''tho prime factor In the speculative situation.
Tho movements of prices in tho llrst hour was at times violent, with
advances ranging from 2 to nioro than 12 points being made in many .
stocks. Most Interest was attached to the trading In tho steel Industrials,
with United States Steel common moving up more than 2 points to 93V4,
and Ugthlchem Steel "II" advancing -74 to 7D&.
The demand fop stocks was lilcrt-ascd during the early trading by tho
Washington news of tho application of the Attorney General for a post
ponement of a trial of the trust cases, the assumption on tho Street
being that these suits will bo deferred untllthe end of the war.
Tho motor stocks its a group were tho strongest leatures, , General
Motorsmoving up 12',J points to 11G. Texas Company mado an advance
of moro than 7 points to 10V4, nnd General Electric rose more than B
points to 138..
Tho end of tho first hour was marked by u turn in the trading dis
position. Then the railroad stocks generally, which had nonshared lu tho
early hdvance, wreo under pressure, with Union 1'aclflc fulling from 115
to 113'4 nnd Heading dropped from 72 to 71.
Motor Stocks Offer Opportunity for Profit ,
In tho last week there has been considerable buying of securities of the
same typo that figured In tho great peace market of n year ago. At
that time the severe decline In secutltles had not taught the speculator
the virtue of caution, nnd the mere fact that peace was tinder discussion
owns considered ample excuse for n speculation. Now, however, nn alto
gether different situation obtains nnd, whllo thero arc many who nro
gieatly Impressed by the view entertnined In high banking quarter tliut
pcaco "Is around the corner," tho buying has been very discriminating
and careful.
Motor stocks unquestionably have the greatest peace potentialities,
untl there may bo some slgnlllcance to the recent rise, though at tho
samo time It cannot bo overlooked thot theso stocks were us greatly
undervalued In the' depression ns they wero overvalued at tho time the
public would buy anything thut had the word "motor" attached to It.
Wall street, being far removed from the seat of production of the Industry,
found it dilUctilt to measure with Its usual accuracy the effect of the war
on the automobile trade. There are none who any longer deny that
pleasure-car production lias been curtailed and will be still further re
duced, but It Is manifest that the original estimates were altogether out
of line. In a few Instances tho ftutput of pleasure vehicles will be re
duced to BO or 40 per cent of normal, but ns a general rule It Is not
Relieved that 1918 will bee an average reduction of more than 30 per cent.
Tills Is offset by the demand for motortrucks and orders from tho
Government for munitions which It Is estimated will total a billion dollars.
Already orders of this type have been placed thafiiro of un aggregate of
about a half n billion dollars.
Railroad Shares Change Whole Market
Kor the llrst tlmo In many years It can be said of the railroad stocks
that they were Instrumental ln'brlnglng about a complete change of tho
Investment and speculative outlook. It Is not thought, however, that the
speculation In the railway Issues will continue much longer, ns once tho
Government completes Its program of control and guarantee of earnings,
tho faqtor of uncertainty which Is so necessary to u sustained speculation
will have been removed.
In utber words, the high-grade railroad stocks should moc In a
narrow groove, with their principle governing Influence tho cost of capi
tal. In the minor rails and mere speculntlvq Issues there will remain
the possibility of Improvement of their physical condition during the war
nnd a return to shareholders after the war of strengthened properties
that may stimulate somo activity. In tho minor railroad bonds, that Is
tho speculative material, thero will probably continue to be nn nctlvo
market with the possibility of somo additional gains, as there arc a num
ber of theso bonds that nro selling far too low considering that their
Interest Is now definitely assured. .
It Is expected that the sales of tho V. W. Woolworth Company this
year will Increase $10,500,000, or about 12 per cent. The total gross for
the year Is estimated nt between $97,000,000 nnd $98,000,000, on which the
profits should bo about 914 per cent, or a reduction of slightly less than
one-half of 1 per cent from tho ratio of profit of 1911!. This would Indi
cate earnings for the stock of close to 17 per cent before deduction for
the war tax.
Rail Relief to Help Oil Business
Thp belief In oil circles Is that tho weeding out of tho railroad tangle
should facilitate tho movement of tank enrs and bo a boon to tho Industry.
Tho difficulties encountered tho last few months In shipping refined
products hnvo been exceedingly discouraging, particularly In the East.
At present thero nro approximately B8.000 tank cars In operation In con
nection with tho petroleum Industry and, of these, about 24,000 arc owned
and operated by refining and marketing companies. Tho Union Tank
I.lno owns 17,000, whereas railroads control about 10,000 and tank car
builders and tunk-llno companies 8000.
Total dividends from 1917 earnings of the Indiana Pipe I.lno Com
puny amounted to $12 a share, or '$1,200,000. The company's recently
announced disbursement of $2 and $3 extra was charged against -1918
revenues. In 191C tho company earned $1,300,830 and carried $400,836 to
surplus. Slnco trafilc during 1917 was about on a level with tho year
previous It Is not expected much change will bo shown when tho figures
for tho last twelve months are available.
Pig-Iron Production Improves '
Production of pig Iron In tho Pittsburgh district has Improved, coin
cident with tho taking- over by the Government of tho railroads and a
readier movement of coke. Consumers In the East arc said to bo In
Immediate need of 100,000 tons of pig Iron, with their supplies almost at
the point of exhaustion. Despite the shortage of steel, which has cut
down production In somo lines to 65 per cent of capacity, signs nro appar
ent of enlivened buying by Interests who were' missing not long ago,
most notably nutomobllo manufacturers. Contracts for 31,000 tons of
steel shapes and plates have been placed for tho construction of ten
9400-ton cargo boats to bo built by tho Pcnsacola Shipbuilding Company.
In order that the material for tho large number of ships which must
bo kept In operation across tho Atlantic between the American armies In
Franco and their base of supplies may bo produced as quickly as posslblo
every effort Is being made to nld tho National Government In completing
this work as speedily as possible under present conditions.
The State of New York and the Merchants' Association are working
Jointly In providing labor, homes and means of transportation to and
from the yards, and have arranged for a training school, which will be
opened on Staten Island on January 7.
Big Growth of Reserve, Banks
A great deal of Interest Is uttached to tho forthcoming reposjs of the
Federal Ileserve banks, which arc-expected to show n phenomenal growth
over 1916, with the earnings for the last six months Illustrating the value
of the system during the period of huge Government financing. Although,
of course, thero Is no way of forecasting what the results since July 1
have been, the earnings for tho full year may be anticipated from tho
showing for tho first half of tho year.
The combined system during that period earned a gross of $4,141,528,
with current expenses of $1,378,883. and net earnings of $2,762,645, equal
to 9.3 per cent on tho calculated average paid-in capital.
