The effect on other amusements was significant. Loew's tried to break out of the gloom, and its clique marked its favorite up from around 11 to 14. When the rest of the market realized on Friday that the swing was being overdone, it lapsed back quickly after half- hearted support. It Is significant that there seemed to be no nearby bids for Loew as the week came to an end. - Stock held at 13 most of Saturday and then In the last few minutes dropped % on a single trade of 100 shares, giving evidence of wide dlflCerence in opinion be- tween buyer and seller. , Practically the only theatre clique with enough optimism to make a bulllsb gesture was that In RKO. Apparently inspired by a sharp jump in RCA, which got above 6 from a recent low of 3, there was a minor flurry In RKO, whlth tnoved briskly from 1^ to 2, but lost heart there on appearance of offerings, and retraced its way, carrying only a small fraction of gain to the week's Globe. As a group the amusements got exactly nowhere. Of the active Is- sues Loew finished at 12%, un- changed from March 3; Par. lost an eighth, while Fois was up %'arid Consolidated Film Industries pre ferred (now- become an active trad- ing, medium) api eighth up: . Gciier.< ally speaking the group continued to drag bottom during one of the most exciting reboiinds of the whole, de presslon, a performance which au gurs pretty badly for Its nearby future. It isn't often that a whole group of stocks so thoroughly deflated as are the film issues cannot summon enough vitality to stage some sort of a demonstration at such a time. Apparently the ainusements have lost all their old standing as specu- lative stocks, and before they can arouse interest again something rather sensational will Tiave to take place in their background. Theatre bonds did scarcely better than their related equity shares. Business here was on an extremely narrow scale and price mo'vements within a small range. Loew's did best, of the lot, moving up four points In one session on minor deal- ings,-but losing half of that advance in the next, the net result being a close up 2% at 66>^, at which price the yield is between 9. and 10%. Even at that the future does not look bright enough to tempt an In- vesting play. As airainst this result advances during the four days of trading In other non-amusement secondary bonds reached major proportions, suggesting that sentiment toward fixed Income securities was not gen- erally depressed by the fear of infla- tion. Parallel course of stocks and bonds under the circumstances was a contradiction. Of course, If there is to be an Important ballooning of money and credit, that would be re- flected in rising stock and commod- ity prices, and in a like decline In bonds. In times of inflation, of course, capital wants to be In part- nerships as in stocks and avoids be- ing a creditor which would be Its status in bonds. Behavior of high yield preferred stocks did nothing to clarify the confusion of parallel ad- vances in common stocks and liens. Dealings In the senior shares was too small to be si?niflcant, although prices were materially higher. Largest gain in the whole amuse--f ment list, for instance, was scored in a single minimum trade in Loew's preferred, up 6% at 52%, where the $6.60 stocks pays 12%?^. New Low for Par-P Lien The old Paramount-Famous 6's actually sank to a new all-time low during the week, appearing on the tape at 5, but the newer 6>/A's held above the former bottom around 6, although that mark was approached. The latter are In interest default, but the market appraisal appears to indicate that they are in better po- sition for any reorganization, such as has been suggested by Adolph Zukor, co-receiver with Charles D. Hllles. The Paramount bankruptcy move, by the way, is explained as made necessary as a means of protecting creditors from company litigation by putting Its assets under the pro- tection of the court. Course of prices from this time on are likely to be Irregular. Once the celebration spirit wa;s over and the excited rise 'was subjected to study, cautious speculators took profits and the climb was halted. There are bullish factors in that the bank fright has been. Allayed and the new administration has gained the con- fidence of the people. There is hope for a balanced budget, but the many closed banks represented enormous- ly crippled purchaiSlng power in frozen deposits; action of Congress is uncertain, the railroad and for- eign debt questions still press and last week came a -new blow to re- covery when guaranteed mortgage certificates learned they had to look to the properties themselves for re- turn rather than the guarantee companies. Immediate course of the market would normally be a reaction to around 66 In the averages and then a flattening out process until some new Infiuence, probably from Wash- ington or from abroad, supplied the next Impulse, whether It be on the upside or the down side only tlm^ win tell. hcorporations New York Albany, n!
