Trading was on a large scale, and individual trans- actions counted for little. Commis- slon houses weres active on both sides. Initial strength here was brought about by continued bullish European cables. An additional impetus was given on reports of firmer markets at Winnipeg and Buenos Alres. Revenue freight loading by rail- roads continues at record high levels, amounting to 2,630,684 cars in the first three weeks of January. This was an increase over the corresponding period of 1924, the American Rallwa Association announced today of 1. 518 or 6.4 per cent. A total of 932,150 cars were loaded during the week ended January 17, the number being a gain of 37,204 over the same week last year, but 657 under the week ended January 10.
