14 F¥ BULLS GAIN EDGE Trading on Small Selling Pressure Absent. Rise Is Uniform. BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Special Dispatch to The Star. W YORK, November 10. ned slowly upward in today’s mar- Actlvity was still on a small no renewal of ich had been in ividently the pro- designed to bring had been a the » avidenct fessional experimen out further liquidation failure. ¢ More or less all groups shared in the tmprovement. The rails were uniform- 1y higher, the general run of indus. tials did better, the oils. were steady and various specialties were well bought. Tt was a good day for pool operations und for other specially con- dircted excursions. Stocks that lend themselves to this kind of speculation were especially prominent. Houston Oii moved kp 6 points without opposi- tion. American Republics, ordinarily inactive, sim jumped 6 points. NNew highs were recorded by Ma rren Bros., Inter Machine and Victor Talking Ma- chine, all of them for the year and most of them since the stocks were Tsted. Investment Stocks Slower. Standard investment stocks were slower in getting under wi still all worked higher. General Elec- General Motors and United States Steel rapged from a point to 2 points above the preceding close all the morning. Then when the unfilled tonnage statement of the Steel Cor- poration came oyt at noon, showing an increase of tons, most twice. th the advance v only steel itself. but the sto t independent producers were in bri demand. The figures were inter pieted as highly favorable and pre- dictions were made in well informed Guarters that for the present at least price cutting in the steel trade had come to an end. Steel which had closed at 134% dnesday and had fluctuated around 135 all the forenoon, crossed 136 with a bound when the figures were re- loused. Bethlehem and Crucible fol- lowed along and later on Colorado Fuel did the same. Rail Buying Continues. Buying of the rails proceeded with- out any special encouragement in the news. It was the tape itself that seemed to indicate pending develop- ments notably in the strength shown by Kansas City Southern among the lower pricad stocks and Lackawanna in the high-grade dividend paying class. The tobaccos were strong again under the leadership of American To- bacco, both classes of stock more than regaining the dividend which came off the price today. Marland was the fa- vorite among the oils. Probably this stock has a larger speculative follow- $ag than any other in its class. There was more_irregularity in the motors. General Motors was higher, but buying was restrained by the un- certainty about th2 dividend action on the new stock. It was agreed that €se shares would be put on a regular %5 basis, but there was a wide differ- ence of opinion as to the size of the extra. The dividend meeting was not scheduled to be held until after the close this afternoon. W Wall Street Briefs COPPER EXPORTERS.—The price | at copper abroad was advanced today’ Ty Copper Exporters, Inc.. from 13.70 cents to 13.80 cents,. c.if, Furopean base ports. The domestic price is firm at 131 cents a pound. Despite the advance in price, foreign buying continues strong. Zinc touched a new low for the vear, prime Western selling at 5.60 cents a pound, East St. Louis. The low for 1926 was 6.70 cents. Lead prices are unchanged at 6 cents a pound, St. Louis, and 6.15 to 6.25 cents, New York. SECURITIES OUTLOOK GOOD.— Hayes, president of the Investment Bankers Assoclation of America, who is in Philadelphia for the annual meeting of the Eastern Penpsylvania group, sees nothing to | urb present good demand for in- vestment securities. Business gener- ally is having a breathing spell after the remarkable constructive period of development since 1920-21. B. F. GOODRICH.—A higher divi- dend rate on the common stock of B. . Goodrich Co. is looked for in the financial district next January, based on belief there will be no great adverse upheaval in the rubber and tire in- dustry. The company is said to be in a good raw material position and earnings to date have been satisfac- tory. Other guesses are that an extra of $2 may be paid in addition to the $4 annual rate. SOUTHERN PACIFIC.—The South- ern Pacific railroad is asking bids on 94,000 tons of steel rails. NATIONAL LIBERTY INSUR- CE.—Stockholders of Natlonal Lib- ty Insurance Co. will vote December 5 'on a proposed increase in capitaliza- 30,000 to 40,000 shares, $5 par.
