IT O THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 7. 1920. Market and Financial News of the Day New York Financial News By NEW YORK TIMES. Chleaa Trlboav-Oaukli Bm Imh4 Wire. ' New York, March 6. Inclement weather cut down attendance of member! at the Stock Exchange and ferf thm nnmhr rf tnAer in mm- mission houses today with the re sult of a desultory market in stocks. On the whole prices were firm to strong, several specialties moving ! forward three points and more. Naturally, in view of the small total of dealings it was not possible t ' read in the price changes "anything more significant than the efforts ot day-to-day speculators to acquire quick profits. Foreign Exchange Reacts. The foreign exchange market re acted from the levels established the day before, a development which seemed to represent considerable profit taking. The range covered by sterling during the week, 28 l-4c to the pound, was so extraordinary " an advance that purchasers at the lower levels on Monday and Tues day probably were active at the week-end in Realizing their gains. Since February 4 sterling has scored a maximum improvement of more than 30 cents to the pound and at vnriQv final nnntatii-m thf rati was substantially above the point where it began to drop in the spec tacular decline of last month. It would be interesting to know the extent to which sales of American ' securities for European account in the last weeks have created balances here for England and France. Re ports of really extensive liquidation 'from abroad have been heard and at the same time there have been expanding sales of British, French and Italian government securities in onr market. ," Expansion in Bonds. .The many advertisements by bunking: and brokerage houses of the .indicates that a wide circle, of in vestors has been appealed to and it stands to reason that the oppor tunity for a high rrturn plus the speculative chance in the exchanges .of countries-issuing the bonds has ncen accented in manv Quarters. Also sale's of municipal bonds of 'Germany in other countries ha,ve bee nreported on expanding scales. .These transactions presumably have Jiuu up into millions of dollars and may have been a real influence be Jiind the rise of exchanges. It re mains to be seen whether or not the upturn of sterling can be main tained. In the last analysis the in ternational trade movements of the next few months will. . have more effect upon exchanges than a mod erate transfer of gold to the United States or the scattered sales of for eign securities. Motor Shares Gain. Motor shares and their special ties provided most of the diversion at extrcjne gains .of 2 to 7lA points, but metals of the secondary groups also food shares and specialties of the class represented by Famous Players and Loew's were fairly ac tive, advancing 1 to 5 points. There was little inquiry for rails, steels and equipments moved nar rowly with nominal changes at the 'end. The only backward issues were ioils, but short covering repaired most losses in that division, sales amounted to 235,000 shares. Decrease of almost $32,500,000 in actual excess reserves, leaving the total excess at a bare $2,700,000 was the striking feature of the clearing house statement.
