NEW YORK, August 24.—The pub- lic utility group assuried leadership of the upwar nent today on the Curb Exc For some time past speculation for the vise had centered in issue which were thought to be attractive trom a speculative point of | view It in the utilities the market | v whose earnings have con to show improvement and expanding operations must eventually have their effect upon an income ic Power & Light preferred and option warrants, Empire Gas & Fuel § per cent preferred and North- ern Ohio Power sold at new high prices on a heavy turnover, while; #ains of a point or more were record- ic Bond & Share Corpora- & Improvement and Electric Investor: F onal Gains Noted. Improvement in others was confined to fractions, but practically all mem bers of the group shared in the im provement Speculative interest, however, was not wholy confined to the utilities. the rise wer rying the price up sl est under the present share capitaliza. rings and the improved financial situation of the company, as a result of recapitalization, have been responsible. to a large extent, for the activity and strength. It is believed the stock will not iong remain in the category of $3 dividend pavers. Earnings Bring Results. nother feature was Pillsbu: which was still responding to the high- ly favorable earnings statement for the first half vear. Application has been made to list the stock on the Stock Exchange. This naturally will provide a freer market, inasmuch as commitments can then be made on a marginal basis. Newmont Mines and Noranda Mines were prominent in their group. Rich- ard Hellman issues, still influenced by the proposed change in control, were taken at practically their highest. Central Aguirre and Fajardo Sugar were responding to the better outlook for the sugar market and the prob- ability that the 1928 Cuban output would again be limited. COAL PRICE HIGHER BY 25 CENTS A TON Operator of Anthracite Mines in Hazleton, Pa., District An- nounces Advance for Sept. 1. By the Associated Press. HAZLETON, 'Pa., August 24.—An- nouncement was made today that the Lehigh Cosl & Navigation Co., op- erating anthracite mines in the Hazle- ton district and the Panther Creek Valley. will raise the price of coal 25 cents a ton on September 1. It is understood that most of the other companies will do likewise, thus bringing prices to the same figures that prevailed before a 50-cent reduc- tion was put into effect April 1 to in- duce Spring and Summer buying. Consumers, however, failed to lay in their usual Summer supply and it 1s predieted that there will be a rush of orders when cold weather approach- es, assuring steady time at the col- lieries, which have been on a reduced schedule owing to slowness of the market. —_— CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET CHICAGO, August 24 (#) (United States Department Agriculture). — Hogs—Receipts, 15,000 head: hogs, 210 pounds down, uneven; better grades mostly steady to 10 higher: others, weak to a shade lower; practically no market on pigs; heavier hogs generally steady to 10 higher; finished butchers, 240 to 270 pounds, 25 up in spots; top, 10.80; bulk good to choice, 160 to 200 pounds, 10.50a10.75; 220 to 250 pounds, 9.65a10.40; 260 to 300 pound butchers, 9.00a9.60; heavier butchers slow: few 350 pound aver- ages downward to 8.60; most packing sows, 7.75a8.15 Cattle—Receipts, 10,000 head: fed yearlings and Western grass steers strong; medium weight and weighty fed steers steady; she stock unchanged; bulls, uneven; weighty sausage of- ferings - higher; lighter kinds weak; vealers, 50 lower; bulk heavy steers, 10.60; light yearlings, 13.75; most fat steers, 11.75a13.50; weighty West- ern grass steers up to 12.00; bulk vealers to all interests, 15.00.

Reflecting the continued strength in the spot market and reports of an im- proving demand for refined sugar, as well as unconfirmed reports that the next Cuban crop would again be re- stricted, there was a renewal of gen- eral covering and buying in raw sugar futures. The market opened at 1 point advance to 1 point decline, with con- siderable realizing or liquidation, but " ver Sales offerings were readily absorbed, and | a8 INDE the market showed upward through- out the remainder of the forenoon, midday showing net gains of 5 to 6 points.
