MANY NEW HIGHS IN STOCK MARKET Industrials Are Leaders in Movement Today—Rails Not So Prominent. BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. ®pecial Dispatch to The Star. EW YORK. September The stock market started in today where 1t left off yesterday, in the midst of a sweeping recovery from the midweek reaction. Prices of all the industrial Jeaders were carried up in impressive fashion, many of them to new highs for the year and some to new highs for all time. There were evidences everywhere of a hasty reversal of position by op- erators for the decline. Speculators who had put out short commitments made haste to take them in. Probably & zood many stoploss orders were caught on the way up, as that pro- tective device is used hy bears as well as by bulls. At any rate the market's action was such as to persuade all bhut the most courageous short sellers to retire from the field. Industrials Leaders. Industrials were the leader just as the rails were Thursday. It was not so much Steel and General Motors, although both these were strong, as it was General Electric, Allied Chemical and Postum'Co. that were the spectacular performers. The upward surge carried all three to a mew high record- of ane ‘kind or ars other. Montgomery Ward added to its striking gain of the. preceding des- sion and Sears Roebuck went along. Traders had little’ fresh news on which to found their operations. Much was still made’ of ‘the large gains in males reported by the mail order houses. Call money held unchanged at 314 per cent and there was nothing in the Federal Reserve Bank state- ment to foreshadow any change in the credit situation. Buying, however, was hased not on anything in the out world, but on the astonishing exhibition of vitality the market itself gave. today, General Motors Gains. General Motors above 250 was only a little more than a point under its previous best price. but in the first half of the day activity in this long popular _leader was comparatively small. The independent motor shares came in for more attention under the Jeadership of Nash, which made a new high since the split-up. Selling at 85 the price was equiva- Zent to 850 for the old stock. Chrysler was another strong automobile stock. not far below its previous peak. Wall Street apparently has lost all fear of Henry Ford becoming a serious cor- petitor in the automobile field for some months to come. Railroads were not so prominent, save in a few instances. Western Maryland pushed ahead into new high ground on the movement. Hocking Valley selling in odd lots was up eight points at 302, added to a gain of over six points yvesterday. Shares of the Southwestern roads went higher on a small turnover, including St. Louis Southwestern and Texas and Pacific. Interest in the utilities was confined o a few stocks. North American sold ®t the highest since 1926 and Consoli- dated Gas moved up a couple of points. Others more or less strong were Electric Power and Light, Com- monwealth Power and Abitibi Power.

Officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul expect earnings for the Jast five months of 1927 to exceed those for the same period last year, the anticipated gain in net operating income probably equaling the de- crease of $3,854.279 in net during the first seven months of this year. Im- provement in crop production in th(e St. Paul's territory this year prob- ably was more marked than that for eny of the other Northwest carriers, it is said.

Arguments for and against the granting by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the applications of seven directors of the New York Cen- tral, Nickel Plate and Baltimore & Ohio for authority to serve in similar capacities on the Wheeling & Lake Erie, were contained in briefs filed to- day with the commission. The three roads own 51 per cent of the Wheel- ing stock. The Wabash and the Pittsburgh & West Virginia advanced their views in opposition to the proposal, while Walter L. Ross, president of the Nickel Plate, continued the defense of the plan, which began yesterday. The Wabash declared the directors were seeking representation on the Wheeling board for the *“manifest, if not admitted, purpose of suppressing competition in trunk line territory by eliminating a fifth system, based upon the Wabash, Wheeling & Lake Erie and Pittsburgh & West Virginia prop- erties and disrupting the established route or channel of trade formed by the Wheeling and its Eastern and Western connections.” Charge Tllegality. The Pittsburgh & West Virginia as- serted the three trunk lines were vlo- lating the antitrust law in acquir- ing the Wheeling's stock and that the applications to sanction the inter- locking directorates were tantamount to asking the commission to put its stamp of approval on _illegal acts. Mr. Ross asserted the intervenors’ arguments evince “an utter failure to comprehend the national policy for providing an adequate and efliclent national transportation system,” and were made with no other purpose than to obstruct the four-system plan. The New York Central argued that competitive relations existing between the Wheeling, New York Central, Nickel Plate, Baltimore & Ohio and the Erie are such as to make it to assume that the New York Cen- tral can conceive it to be to the finan- cial interest of that system to under- take a policy of suppression of Wheel- ing competition.” o = lmm\l Exchange Quiet.

Buying Shows Increase. “Buying of the past week shows a healthy increase over both last week and the same week last year,” ac- cording to a survey of conditions by the Credit Clearing House. “The North agricultural section only shows less buying than last week, while all sections show an increase over the same week last year. Indebtedness | shows a small decrease from last week, but is heavier than the same week last year.” The Farm Loan Board has appoint- ed J. S. Horton af Charleston, W. Va., as receiver of the Ohio Joint Stock Land Bank of Charleston, W. Va. The bank failed to pay interest on its outstanding bond issues. Horton has been instructed to take immediate charge of the affairs of the bank. Its capital stock is §230,000, and the out- standing bonds. aggregate $1,369.300. Mortgage bonds total $1,399,000. The bank has issued no bonds since Jan- uary, 1924, the board said, in a state- ment, adding that other institutions have considered taking over the bank without result, leaving receivership the only course open. For five consecutive months com- mercial faflures in the United States have declined in number, according the compilations of R. G. Dun & Co. The total for August was 1,708.

Futures Easier Under Liquidation for Three-Day Adjournment. NEW YORK, September 2 ().— The raw sugar market was quiet early today. No sales were reported, and prices were unchanged at 4.77 for Cuban duty paid. Raw sugar futures were easier un- der liquidation or realizing for over the three-day adjournment, probably promoted by the unsettled conditions in the refined market. Trading, how- ever, was not active. The trade in general was inclined to limit opera- tions and await developments. Prices at midday were 3 to 4 points net lower. The refined market was unchanged at 5.75 to 6.00 for fine granulated, with a better inquiry at the inside level. COTTONDECLINES ON RANS N TEKAS Rumors of Larger Private Crop Figures Also Factor in Today’s Drop. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 2.—The cotton market opened steady today at an advance of 2 to 11 points, Decem- ber contracts selling up to 23.23 and March to 23.41 on a continuation of vesterday’s buying movement, pro- velatively steady early cables | from Liverpool. Reports of rains in Texas, where droughty conditions have been com- plained of, were accompanied by sell- ing orders from the Southwest, and prices eased shortly after the opening under realizing. Some hedge selling also was reported on the setback. which_carried December off to 22.90 and March to 23.16 by the end of the first hour, or about 20 to 25 points net lower. Private cable advices said the Liver- pool market had advanced early on covering and Continental buying, but later reacted on the Texas rain re- ports. A_private_crop report placing the condition a .1 and the indicated yield at 12,930,000 bales may have account- ed for some of the buying at the open- ing, but the demand soon tapered off. The market was easier late in the forenoon on a favorable view of the rains in Texas and rumors of larger private crop figures. December sold off to 22.81 and March to 23.06, with the market showing net declines of about 30 to 35 points around midday.
