Stock Market Gains Are
Justified From Earnings
—_
(Cont-i.rf.Mi from Page Coh.)
lOl.s who get their fingers burnt are
usually the ones who lose sight of the
basic trends of industry ana allow
themselves to be carried away by
their emotions. As Number One stock
market rule, remember that the long
pul] trend of security prices is ruled
by reason and not by emotions.
Activity in stocks has again caught
the public’s imagination. Four million
share days have returned. Wall Street
stories are working back into the
headlines. This can mean only one
thing—the market is temporarily at
least, in a high zone. So this is one
of those times when an inventory of
fundamental conditions should be
taken. Here are a few things to con
sider:
1. GENERAL BUSINESS Since
March, 1933, business has increased 46
per cent. We have recovered (12 per !
cent of the distance from the depres
sion low to the X-Y normal line on i
the Babsonchart. Furthermore, this |
business upswing has been gaining ;
momentum during the last two!
months. Since September, activity has j
jumped eight per cent. During these I
same periods the Dow-Jones indus- j
trial stock average has advanced 160 j
per cent and eleven per cent, respec- !
lively.
2. CORPORATION PROFITS
Earnings of many leading companies
have made tremendous gains in 1935.
A few concerns have actually made
more money this year than in any
‘'ther year in their history, even tho
ugh their volume of business has not
been Ihe greatest. This is due to in
creased efficiency; to elimination of!
overhead; to labor-saving machinery;
and to operating economies all along
•be line. Many of these efficiency fac
tor.;. however, are temporarily increas
big unemployment and hence may
have a kick-back.
3. DIVIDENDS With better busi
ness and bigger profits, dividend in- ’
creases have been one of the features
of 1935. Within (tie last week several
of I lie biggest corporations in the
country have declared extra dividends
Many companies are making small
payments today where a year ago
nothing was being given lo the stock
holders. This i,s a lug psychological
factor for investors like to feel their
securities are at least “earning their
keep.” Investors, however, should
make sure whether their dividends
are coming from current, earnings or
from surpluses earned years ago.
•t. MONEY RATES—Another big
influence on the market is the low
yield on bonds, savings bank deposits,
and other forms of investment. Many
investors today figure that they have
little to gain and much to lose by
buying high-grade bonds ana by build
ing up their savings accounts. They
prefer to buy sound common stocks
of well-established companies with a
good record. This is a sensible reason
for the present rise in stock quota
: ions.
5. POSSIBILITY OF INFLATION
—While the stock market has been
pushing into new high ground in the
last few months the bond advance has
been faltering. I suppose the reason
for this is that investors, holding fix
ed-income securities, are protecting
W'mselves against a rise in the cost
of living which will come either thro
ugh artificial currency inflation or
through a natural business boom.
Hence, investors, to be hedged, are
shifting a certain percentage of their
band funds into common stocks. j n
many cases this is a wise move.
6. RETURNING CONFIDENCE
New records for power production,
new highs for steel operations, cap
acity production for woolen mills and
autamobile factories, plant expansion
by big companies, and other good
news is beraking every day. Wages
are increasing, salaries are bein»
boosted, and profits of small bush
nesses are better. Confidence that the
depression is definitely over is spread
ing throughout the country. This is
very important and means that some
time within the next year or two some
docks should sell at double or treble
heir present prices.
7. NEW TAXES—Congress last
summer passed suxtaxes and capital
gains taxes which are practically* con
fiscatory. These taxes may take as
much as fifty per cent or more of the
japital gains on stock transactions
from very wealthy investors. The na
tural result is that such investors are
reluctant to sell. A.ppaiently. the pov™ i
Three W hite Men T aken
Here For Murder, Robbery
Federal Agents Take One While Visiting at Hospital;
Others I aken at Local Barber Shop; Wanted for
Slaying of Woman in Harnett County
Three white men were captured
here today by Federal agents, who
refused to divulge the names of the
prisoners, as suspects in the highway
robbery and minder, growing out of
a holdup of Pi lie view Service Station
Wednesday night, Harnett co unity,
and the slaying of Mrs. Beulah
Groome Mason, 3-1. W. W. Mason, her
husband, was being held in jail in
Harnett county.
Mrs. Mason died with three bullet
wounds in t*be back, breast, and abdo
men.
Federal Agent J. IT. Caddell, or
Washington, was one of the captors,
t ill he staled that he was not allow
ed to divulge the names of the pri

lingion with the third prisoner, who

j ham hospital. The other two were
taken at a local barber shop.
eminent has adopted “sanctions” a
gaitisl I lie selling of stocks.
X. BROKERS’ LOANS—Just before
the crash in 1929- brokers loans totall
-4d $X,549,0n0,000, while (lie figure is
] only $792,000,000 today. Tliis clearly
| indicates that speculation lias not rim
j rife. Securities are in strong harms
I and arc being held for the “long pull”
j rather than for speculative purposes.
In some special cases there may be
! large blocks of stock hanging over the
market, but in general stocks have
been bought outright in this current
rise.
CONCLUSION —-Congressional bom
bast and campaign and mud-slinglng
may cause temporary declines over
the next year, but basic business
gains ultimately dictate the trend of
stock prices. The latter are 250 per
cent above the lows of July. 1932, but
they are still only sixty to seventy
per cent of the average price from
1925 io 1929.
My studies over a period of thirty
years fail to show a single instance
where a major upward swing in
stocks collapsed while business was
still below normal on the Babson
chart. This week’s reading on the lat
ter shows that white business is 21
per cent above a year ago it is still
16 per cent below normal. So I am
still bullish on the ‘long puli' for a
carefully selected list of stocks. Even
such a list, however, should constant
ly be watched by competent people.

after Sir George Russell Clark, Bri

premier to remind Italy directly that
all members of the League of Nations
were standing together to resist at

While this was a reaffirmation of
previous arrangements, it is consider
