Stand- ard shares of the same group, to- gether with other war supply stocks, were higher by fractions to over a point with Marine Preferred and su- gars. Coalers were the strongest fea- tures of the railway list with Union Pacific, which rose almost a point. The general 'list yielded in the course of the first hour and trading languished. - Aside from the improve- ment in rails which extended to trans- continentals, St. Paul and New York Central, much of the early activity was traceable to pools. ‘Wilson Packing rose 4 points, Ohio Gas 3 and Western Union 2. Metals were dull, but shippings hardened by mid-day with Lackawanna and United States Steels. Bonds were irregular. Rails, motors, leather issues and some of the less prominent specialties enlivened the mid-session at extreme gains of 2 to 4 points. Forenoon ad- vances in maltings and Wilson Pack- ing were materially increased, with greater strength in steels. Closing.Speculative issues were the foremost features of the final hour, Ohio Gas and Wilson Packing scor- ing new high records. The closing was strong. Sales were estimated at 600,- 000 shares.
