OF STOCK MART MAYvGONTINUE Wall Street Sees Auto Business as Key to Prosperity DISCOUNT BAD NEWS By ELMER C.

1VALZER (Inlted Press Financial Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 23 All financial markets, banks and commodity markets, closed Monday in observance of Washington's birthday, will resume Tuesday with two bullish factors in prospect. The first Is the prospect of no extra session of Congress and the second, further evidence of genuine increase in automobile business. On the other hand the market has risen more than 20 points in the last three weeks. Shorts have covered and a technical reaction should occur.

At each period of strength, shorts have put out new lines only to be forced to cover in a few days at higher prices. Recently small traders have been taking stock and it is this factor which makes for uncertainty in predictions. As in all bull swings no attention has been paid recently to bad news which included many dividend omissions, poor showing by railroads, gasoline price reductions, increased petroleum output, and low foreign trade figures. Some concluded the market had discounted bad news and now is discounting a real all around improvement in business. i Wall Street observers see in the pickup in the automobile business a clew to the future.

Inasmuch as stocks of automobiles have been reduced, any pickup in demand for new cars will be reflected at once in additions to present payrolls. Automobile makers are largest users of steel and the latter industry already is benefiting. The automobile line also absorbs huge quantities of cotton, tires, copper, nickel, glass, leather, and a long list of other products. Auburn has stepped up production and is forced to defer delivery cue to piling up of orders. Ford also has stepped up production with several others.

As a result, steel plants last week held their own when a falling off in output might have been reported. Executives of automobile plants and steel experts still are loath to picture a runaway market for automobile and the steel men warn that this pickup might be a Hash in the pan. The stock market, however, has seized upon the opportunity to play the favorite automobile shares, sending them to new highs for the year. Auburn auto soared to above Zlli, a rise of exactly 110 points from the low of this year. Automobile equipment shares made wide gains.

Steel stocks were bid up on the strength of the automobile demand.
