Durbin Jack Warnner, IN WALL STREET Bullish Enthusiasm of Morn- ing Slightly Curbed in Afternoon Trades NEW YORK, Noy. 10.—The brisk upward mavement in stock prices, which has been under way since Friday morning on a record break- ing volume of business, canie to a temporary halt late today as a ré- sult of a flood of profit taking sales. The reactionary movement did not Set In however, until after more than two score issues had attained new peak prices for the year. One of the features of the session was @ sustained demand for the oil shares, many of which rose one to three | points. Sales approximated 2,500,000 shares. Bullish enthusiasm continued un- abated at the opening of today’s stock market, the general list surg: ing upward under the leadership me the raflroads and oil shares, whic! were bought in great volumes. Southern Pacific and Rock Island broke through their previous highs while gains of a point or more were recorded by Third Avenue ra Standard Olt of California Warner Speedometer and Union Pa- cific, American Can and New York Central were heavy at the opening. While the initial outburst of buy- ing was not as large as that of Fri- day and Saturday, the pace in- creased as trading progressed. ‘Che unusually large number of 100 and 200 share lots testified to the large amount of public partictpation. Early gains ran from fractions to four points. Additional new highs included Frisco common, Pensylva- nia, Loutsville and Nashville, United States Cast Iron Pipe, H. R. Mallin- son and United Drug. There were @ few heavy spots, Atchison, Cuba Cane sugar preferred, Cuban Dom- iniean Suger preferred and Amert- can Water Works common each los- ing a point or more. Total sales in the first half hour excéeded 350,000 shares. ‘The feature of the foreign exchange market was the establish. ment of a new 1924 high demand Sterling at $460%. Buying of the rails was particular- ly aggressive in these shares in which favorable dividend develop- ments are supposed to be pending, The ease with which the first wave of profit taking in Atchison and American Can was absorbed and the subsequent jump In U. S. Steel com. mon to 113%, the highest price since 1919, infuse® new strength in @ number of industrial shares, which Livestock Upward Swing Recorded by Wheat With New Highs on May Delivery CHICAGO, Nev. 10.—Wheat took a decided fresh upward swing in price today during the early deal- ings. May delivery reached a new top record for the season. Sharply higher quotations at Liverpool had much to do with the advance here. Besides, further damaging rains in Australia were reported with drought in Argentina and there was evidence of continued buying on the part of Buropean shippers in this country. The opening, which varied from 1%ec to 2%c higher, with December $1.53 ot $1.53% and May $1.59 to $1.59%, was followed by numerous fluctua- tions near to the initial range. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat strength. Commission house buying of corn was the most active witnessed for some time. After open- ing at %e decline to 1c advance, May $1.15 to $1.15%, the corn mar- ket scored general gains of 20 or more compares wtih Saturday’s fin- ish, Oats started at %c to %@%o up, May 57%4c to 57% @%p. and later advanced to a material extent. Influenced by the advance in grain the provision market ranged higher nothwtihstanding a decline in hogs, December delivery also attained a new high price record for the rea- soa. A weve of buying prevented any important reaction despite heavy profit taking sales and a big in- crease of the United States visible supply total. The close was strong, 1%c to 3%c net higher, December $1.53% to $1.58%, and May $1.60 to $1.60. It was generally expected that the government crop report on corn would indicate a somewhat larger yield than was looked for a month ago. The closing was firm, 7c to 1%e net higher, December $1.11 to $1.11\.

Heavy buying of the copper stocks and a few individual shares, such as American Tobacco and “Katy” fea- tured the late trading, the general list reflecting a continuance of heavy realizing salee.
