It wa sa clear cut case of the unexpected once more 1 ntotlay's stock market. Nino out of ten enme down to the street fully pre pnrcd and expecting to see a farther reaction all along tho line. Instead after a hesitant opening renewed strength and activity developed In n number of the speculative specialties and before midday a fairly robust for ward movement had set In. Ileforc the upturn was resumed there was considerable Jockeying of position on the part of the professional In order to find which were the more susceptible to mnnlrmlntlve Influences. These ttic- j tics were employed without the nsslst- I nnce of any particular stimulating news 1 developments, although tnot of the overnight news could easily have been construed as bullish ammuiutlnn. The more Important event was sup plied In the announcement of the sale at par of $7,r00.000 of $380,000,000 par value of railroad equipments trust certificates held by the Ilallroad Ad ministration. It Is understood plan have beep perfected for the marketing of similar blocks until Ihe full amount is tlispoecd of. The understanding that the proceeds of the ale were to lie turned over to the Railroad Adminis tration for the benefit of the carriers was accepted ns convincing testimony of the earnestness on the part of the Ciovcrnment to give the railroads the much needed relief without Vailing for legislative action on the part of Congress. It w.is quite in keeping on the part of the managers of the uplift program to select the railroads as the fulcrum of the market leader. Apait from Itead iws. however, the group made 0 mnl (Iiknnxi utiii. response and In the p.'sr- lance of the street 'bulled" hard. This I necessitated a quick change In the plans I to galvanize new life into the trading ' and keep the speculative spirit alive. 1 After a few .skirmishes the so-called pool issues, notably Mexican Petroleum , and ItiUduin Locomotive, were found ! still sensitive to manipulative influ ences. It was further found yester day's reaction had likewise encouraged putting out of fresh short lines. These -elected Issues were carried up with the same dash as marked their upturn in Friday and Saturday, and In turn injected new stimulus into the respec tive oil nnd equipment groups. The market, however, recovered quite gen erally and with the advancing prices there was a corresponding broadening 1 of the dealings. I The complex state of the foreign I exchange market received only ncademic attention and nt no time could be 1 considered either a direct or indirec market factor. While call money re newed and loaned nt !V per cent, I there was every evidence present of a -1 .. n-i i. . ,r iiiucii I'unicr luuuiiiuu. mi- hiuwi ui I which was found in the fnct that for the first time In two years the np 1 proach of the income-tax payment daj , was not marked by the usual Hurry.

Very little was dnue during the first half hour, the price changes for the most part being nominal. The one ex ception to the early steadiness was In the case of Electric Storace Buttery. which, on sales aggregating some half hundred shares, dropped to lOH1,, 0 decline of 2,i points. The railroad group, ns represented by Pennsylvania, was weak, a small lot of that issue changing hands at .'IS1, and representing a decline of an eighth L'tillties fared better Philadelphia Klcctrie preferred made an eighth gain in the first few minutes of trading, be ing marked up to 20'4, and Philadel phia Company cumulative preferred moved to 32 on some odd lot offers, the advance being of a point. Activities in the bond section of the exchange were confined largely to the Liberty issues. Price changes were of little Importance. American Stores later in the morning became the stellar attraction, establish ing a new "top" price at 02. This represented an over-night gain of over a point, and made a net advance of approximately 1!) points from the low price of the year.

Cotton showed continued irregularity nnd nervousness nt the start today, first prices being h points higher to 10 points lower, distant portions displaying relative weakness. New Orleans und other Southern inter ests were sellers, ns wero also many of the commission houses, but there were fnir-slzed buying orders on a decline of about !. cent which followed the open ing, und prices turned n shade steadier by the end of the first fifteen minutes. Better weather conditions in tho South, unsettled foreign exchange quo tations, particularly on tho Continent, and a belief that cotton was still weak technically seemed to be making nn iin previlon on sentiment. The trade was a modernte buyer on the decline. .Tup uneso Interests wero also among the purchasers.

And you will find that some bankers more as each day passes arc also including Credit Insurance as a required loan protec tion, a precaution just as natural and wise as the requirements of the other protection. You can see for yourself that your banker would look more kindly upon extending you a line of credit, when he learns that you nave n "London" Credit Insurance policy. Then he knows that your business Is absolutely protected against any excess loss from failure of any of your debtors. There's no time like now at a "London" Credit Insurance policy.
