The Last Hour. Traders have come in the last few days to take last hour violent advances as more or less a matter of course. In ' fact many commission house traders! sat Idly by watchinpr the ticker most of yesterday and bought stocks about an i hour before the close to catch the last i hour jump which they were confident would come. The final demonstration In Gulf States Steel vesterday com pared favorably with I t of Thursday In Mexican Petroleur Traders are wondering what stock will be picked out to lead the last hour advance to-<Jay and Monday, Ac.?If such ad vances come. ) Crucible Steel. The short interest In Crucible Steel, which has been in about the same posi tion for weelv past, suddenly found itself rather uncomfortable yesterday. ' Operators responsible for the move ments of the stock decided that the time was ripe for a bit of squeezing and proceeded to squeeze. Tt was reported after the close that a large demand for calls on Crucible appeared In the New street market, but that it went unsatis fied for the most part. Gulf States m Feature. The same group which created a few weeks ago a sensation by strong-arming ; Gulf States Steel up the price list for a total of more than 20 points in a day decided to get busy again yesterday and, after warning everybody within range to get out of the way. started. None of the big fellows In the Street can say that he was shot In the back or any thing like that as the group sent a sheaf j of telegrams around to various wire houses and others before the opening 1 advising them of a big move in Gulf States and urging them to get aboard. In most cases the telegrams were thrown into waste baskets with a shrug. When the market opened, with Gulf States up 4 points over night, those who had . thrown away their messages pricked up ? their ears and within a short time, on good sized trading, Gulf States had ad vanced to 78, a gain of nearly 7 points. Then came a lull, followed by more heavy buying, which carried the stock to above 83. the closing mark, with a net gain of more than 11 points. A levsr used in putting the stock up was circulation of the story that the com pany's banking Indebtedness had been nearly liquidated. Allied Chemical. The sharp reaction in Allied Chemical shares yesterday morning was a reflec- , tion of the rather poor earnings state ment for 1921. Traders failed to analyze carefully the corporation's balance sheet, however, which showed cash and cash assets of close to 130.000.000, with more than >11,000,000 of bank loans en tirely paid off. Insiders in the company declare that even that statement falls to show the company's pr?Mnt position. Since January 1. they declare, business lias Improved to such an extent tha# a balance sheet struck at this tlino would appear far better than that for the end of the year. Call Bfoaejr. Call money ruled at per cent, al) day in the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, while outside loans were of fered for as low as 4 per cent. In the time money market there was a fairly good demand for ninety day paper at per cent. Frisco's Annaat Meeting.
