For a time the ! rails presented a spectacle comparable ] with the movement of industrials at j the peak of the boom last November, i Prices climbed so rapidly that order* "at the market" were In many cases executed a point or two above the price reported on the ticker when the orders I were placed. The average gain in twenty representative railroad stocks, i all made in about a half hour of trad- I ing, was just short of 3 points, and in I individual issues the- gains ran up as ? high as 6% points, which was the net ? advance of Chesapeake & Ohio. South- j ern Pacific, which was up 4^4, and Union Pacific, up 5 points, were es pecially prominent in the advance once ? the movement got under way. At the high point of the day Union Pacific j showed a gain of 7% points over the ; ?ow price on Monday. Buying of the rails in the beginning apparently came from banking quar tera, in which a decided change in ; sentiment regarding the outlook for j the carriers was in evidence. But j before the movement had gone very far ; there was a rush of speculative buying ! for the turn. Some short covering was also reported, but it was rela- j tively unimportant in volume. The thort interest in the rails, brokers as? sert, has not been extensive at any time during the recent break. Rail? road stocks have undergone a tre? mendous liquidation, thousands of hold? ers having disposed of them owing ' to the uncertainty as to the outcome of government control. An interesting feature of the market was that the interest in the industrials died out at soon as the upward move- | ment of the rails began. Transactions ? in industrials were probably lighter j during the last half hour of trading ? than in any similar period in many ? weeks, and the trend was downward. [ During the earlier trading strength of the oil shares was the outstanding feature. The statement of oil experts that there was danger of a serious ] shortage of petroleum helped this sec- ; tion of the list. Other industrials ; moved erratically, with price changes ? unimportant except in the hich priced speculative issues. Crucible Steel was j weak and got well under 200 again, while General Motors, a ter selline at the low prices of the year, rallied ! ?harply and Closed with a net gain of 6 j points. j Money and Credit j For the first time since January 23 j the renewal rate for call money yes- j terday was 6 per cent, and that was the rate that obtained all day. Stock Ex- : change borrowers said there was mor? i money to be had than was needed. There was also some talk of easier time money, one broker reporting a ; loan at 7 per cent on all Liberty loan collateral. On all industrial collateral, however, the banks continued to ask 9V6 and 10 per cent. Banks were said to be in greater supply of money lend able on call because of deposits being made to be checked out later on income tax payments. The ruling rates for money yester? day, compared with a year ago, follow: Yester- Year Call money: day. ago. On mixed collateral. 6 5V4 .

The financial community was given to understand yesterday that big things were under discussion before the quar? terly session of the Federal Reserve Board and the advisory council at Washington. It was taken for granted that the chief topic of discussion was the credit crisis. It would not sur ! prise Wall Street to see another ad? vance in Reserve Bank discount rates before many days. There was talk yes? terday of a rise in the rate by the local bank before the end of the current week. Rails to the Front Wall Street is given to .quick shifts in sentiment. Changes in its mental attitude are oftentimes kaleidoscopic. Bulls turn bears and bears turn bulls with amazing rapidity at times. Ac? customed as the financial community is to such rapid-fire changes in feeling the reversal in form in the market for railroad stocks was so sudden and so unexpected yesterday that it fairly took the jireath away. Up until yesterday I afternoon railroad stocks were classed among the "undesirables," either for investment or speculation. A few j houses continued to insist that the rails were good things to buy because they I had few friends, but in the main the I feeling has been right along that the ! rails were in too uncertain a position because of doubt about their future to be "good things to buy." So the ag? gressive buying that developed in the rails in the afternoon came out of a clear sky. Floating Supply Small Buying of railroad stockB, since the sharp break of a week ago which car ' ried the whole group to the,lowest level j in over twenty years, has been much I better than the selling, according to ex j pert market observers. Evidently enough investors had confidence in the future of the carriers to take a chance particularly with prices at such low, levels, and the buying from this quar- j ter resulted in reducing the floating supply, which was never large even during the recent liquidation. Natur? ally any important expansion in the demand would be expected to put price up with a rush. This happened yester? day. With the feeling growing around the financial district that the compro? mise railroad bill, which it was report? ed would come out of conference to? day, will be favorable to the roads in the long run, a substantial increase in buying came into the market. Prices ! began to march ahead and as the word i went the rounds of the district that a | real "move" was on in the rails the buying power was augmented consid-, ; erably. At that it did not take a whole ! lot of buying to push the rails ahead. < Chesapeake & Ohio, for example, ! moved up 6% pointa on orders aggre-. '' gating not more than 6,000 shares. ; The turnover in Union Pacific, which ; advanced 5 points, was only 11,400 ! shares. It took only 1,500 shares to j j put St. Paul common up nearly 4? I points. Money and the Market Discussing the money situation, a] leading broker says: "A careful study j j of the returns of the New York Clear- j ! ing House institutions and of the local | ] branch of the Federal Reserve, coupled j | with the statement of the entire Fed ? eral Reserve system, indicates no i reason to look for a removal in any de- j j partment of the ban upon speculative j expansion. It is not to be inferred j that Wall Street is to be put through a further severe purging process; on the* j other hand, the banking authority j j seems to feel that the Stock Exchange ? has nobly recognized its responsibility j and curtailed its borrowings so that no | special restrictive measures, aimed i directly at it, will be necessary so long as the call for credit does not greatly j exceed the present total. There is no j reason why, with favorable news in the | railroad labor situation and with re j spect to the bill for railroad govern-1 ' ment, the money situation should | stand In the way of a further better- ! ment of prices. If there is no great ? i increase in the volume of business the , i average of prices might be advanced a J j few points without any serious en-1 croachment upon the credi? situation, i for the short interest is still of un- j usual proportions." Baldwin Locomotive Baldwin Locomotive, which was ! pounded down to 103 Vs on the recent setback, rallied to 108% yesterday af- ! ter selling as low as 105% on the early dip. A special reason is being given for the fall in the stock during the last week or so. It was reported yes? terday that a large block of Baldwin, some 60,000 shares, had been over? hanging the market. Part of it had been sold through the exchange and part had been placed at private sale. This stock was held in the account of a large operator, the Street report has it, who had lost heavily in the break in the high-priced motors and was com? pelled to jettison a lot of other stuff he was carrying to keep from being swamped. Massachusetts Pays High The^Commonwealth of Massachusetts had to pay close to 6 per cent for of two issues of short term notes. Salomon Bros.' Hutzler took a $7.000 000 issue yesterday, dated February 18, 1920 and maturing February 19, 1921 and an issue of $3,000,000 matur? ing November 18th next on a basis of I 5.85 per cent. An additional $2,700,- j 000 of notes is to be sold by the state. ? The proceeds of the notes will be used to pay the expenses arising out of the j police strike and to take care of bonus? es voted to soldiers. Premium on Steel Products i Judging from trade reports the de- j mand for steel and steel products ! shows no signs of slackening. In many cases consumers of steel are said to j be offering big premiums in order to j obtain a more rapid delivery. Auto-1 mobile makers are reported to be offer- j ing premiums ranging from $40 to ! $80 a ton for certain grades of alloy steel. The situation in making de liveries is aggravated by the scarcity ' : of railroad cars to carry the steel away from the mills. - California Packing A director of the California Pack? ing Corporation said yesterday there is no reason to worry over possible curtailment of the company's export business while the demand maintains its present proportions.
