THAI S FOLLOW - MARKETCLOSFLY Stocks’ Response to Utility Action Regarded as Satisfactory. BY EDWARD C. STONE. Traders in New York Stock Ex change houses in this city manifested greafiy increased interest in the mar ket today following passage in the Lower House of Congress of the amended utilities bill, intended to bring about the end of public utility holding companies considered "unnec essary” by 1942. The action of the market in the early trading was con sidered satisfactory after the opening Selling in utilities had been absorbed. During the past two weeks a great deal of utility stock is said to have Deen oougnc on tne guess or uie nope that the holding company bill would go over to the next session. Naturally much of that stock was thrown over today. But by the end of the first hour many utility stocks were nearly back to where they closed yesterday. Market observers here believe that the House action may prove bene, ficial. It gets the matter out of the way and ends the uncertainty. A great deal can happen between now and 1942. Predictions are already be ing made that some of the holding companies will completely overhaul their financial structures in an effort to put themselves in the "necessary” class. Brokers said today that In many instances such changes would be very helpful to the stockholders. Lawyers for some companies have al ready begun working along this line. The cotton loan bill, war talk and how much adjournment of Congress may have already been discussed, were other factors of special importance in today's market discussions. Early in the day the tape moved very rapidly, maintaining the recent great increase In volume. Board rooms here were crowded all day. As soon as Congress adjourns, interest will switch to corpo ration earnings, dividends, present and future trade prospects. Steel and commodities will be more in the lime light than ever. Bank Clearings Here soar. Bank clearings in Washington for the week ended August 21 again 6howed substantial advances over the corresponding week a year ago. Can celed checks passing through the Washington Clearing House totaled $16,818,838 compared with $13,000,839 in the same week last year, an increase Of 29.2 per cent. This figure compares with an aver age gain in clearings for the whole country of 21.4 per cent. Leading cities outside of New York reported a gain of 17.3 per cent. New York alone came closer to the Washington mark, clearings being up 23.7 per cent. Baltimore reported a gain of 20.9 per cent, clearings in Richnfond were 17 per cent higher during the week, while Atlanta gained 19 per cent. The weekly reports so far this month mean that Washington clearings for August Will again exceed the comparative month a year ago by a big margin. Sales Body Names Committees.

BY VICTOR EUBANK, Associated Press Financial Writer. NEW YORK, August 23.—The utili ties backed water in today's stock mar. ket following action of the House on the much-debated holding company bill, but rails and industrials exhibited a strong undertone. Gains of 1 to 2 or more points ruled among the favorites and the power division later halved declines of as much. The close was irregu lar. Transfers approximated 1.800,000 shares. The market paid little attention to most Washington developments. Aside from a reaction of foreign currencies, the effect of European war talk on Wall Street was questionable. A more-than-reasonal gain in freight car loadings helped sentiment. Aside from the utility news, & drop of SI or more than $4 a bale in cot ton futures, induced by announce ment of the Government's new crop loan program, was an unsettling in fluence at the start. Cotton recovered partially later. Power shares were thrown over in large blocks at the opening. Then trading slowed down somewhat as demand for other stocks brought substantial rallies in these equities. Grains were uneasy at the begin ning. in sympathy with cotton, but it did not take them long to recover. Scattered industrial and many carrier bonds displayed firmness. In shares a number of new highs for the year were registered, including Case and Du Pont with advances of around 2 points each. Among others up as much were Hercules Motor, Monsanto Chemical and United States Smelting. New York Cotton By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. August 23.—Coinci dently with the Government's an nouncement that it would loan only 9 cents a pound to cotton growers this season, against 12 cents on the 1934 crop, New York Cotton Exchange seat values experienced a moderate boost today. A membership was reported told at S11.000, which was $1,500 above the price paid in the last transfer. Market observers expressed the opinion that the advance mirrored the hopes of traders that the lower loan level would tend to restore a “free” market, and thus make for more active trading.
