Pro- fit-taking shortly after noon reduced many gains. Acquisition of the utili- ties apparently is based on expecta- tions of early consummation of plans for consolidation, while the ex- treme advances of the past few days give indication that the floating sup- ply is narrowing. Electric Bond & Share, steadily ac- cumulated on reports of early action looking to consolidation with Elec- tric Bond & Bhare securities corpor- ation, a general reorganization which may entail a stock split-up and improved earnings from security holdings, again was a feature, mov- ing up ¢ points across 219 for a new record. Electric Investors, United Gas Improvement and others made gains of 1 to € points, American Cyanamid was fin de- mand, advancing nearly 10 points to 74 3- Ford of Canada rallied 6 points to 665, but Ford of England broke to 16 1-4, the lowest in some time. Other automotives were in- clined ot heaviness, Zenith Radlo, which advanced about 4 points, was outstanding in the generally weaker radio group, Mines were irregular, with Noranda dropping 2 points, New Jersey Zinc 4 and Bt. Anthony Gold adding to yesterday's advance. Olls were neg- lected.

While bankers stated that federal reserve brokers loans will show a new record above $5,400,000,000 when announced at the close of the market tomorrow, tradera were less disposed to worry over brokers loans than in previous weeks, as the banks have been paying off their indebted- ness at the reserve institutions, and & higher rediscount rate is regarded is highly unlikely with gold again starting to flow from London. ‘The gold shipment of 5,000,000 comes upon the heels of a shipment of $2,600,000, the first since autumn, announced yesterday. The fact that Montague Norman, governor of the Bank of England, sailed for New York today, gave rise to reports that he would confer with federal reserve officials as to means to stem the flow of the yellow metal in this di- rection. An outgoing gold movement which would exceed :in volume ‘the open market offerings in London would be regarded with misgivings in Lon- dan, and federal reserve authorities are understood to oppose a flow of gold to New York which would em- barass the Bank of England or start another orgy of stock speculation. Call money again renewed at 6 per cent, but the tone was firmer than yesterday, when it was avail- able in the outside as low as 5 per cent. Time money remained firm. The day’'s news was largely bull- ish, including the long predicted rise of 1-4 of a cent in copper prices to 17 cents per pound, domestic. S. 8. Kresge Co. declared a stock divi- dend of 5 per cent. Iron Age report- ed that further advances in steel scrap prices and pressurc for ship- ments on finished steel stand out as market developments of the week, although its compositc furnished steel price remajned unchanged. The composite price for Pig Iron sagged 4 cents to $18.42 a ton. The stock market opened higher today, under the impetus of a heavy accumulation of overnight buying orders. Johns Manville sold up two points to & new high at 227, and Commercial Investment Trust open- ed nearly four points higher. Greene Cananca, Consolidated Gas and Mathieson Alkali mounted two points and Bethlehem, U. 8. Stcel and Union Carbide 1 to 1 1-2 points. A number of blocks of 8,000 to 12,000 shares changed hands during the first half hour. The bullish en- thusiasm aroused by announcement of a gold shipment from England for the first time since last fall yesterday, and the temporary easier call money, was still apparent carly in today's session. High grade stocks throughout the Commission house customers rooks 1ist developed impressive strength. were crowded, and the public was said to be in the market again in a large way. Chemical shares leapt forward, Union Carbide mounting 13 points to a record price at 222, but falling back to 214%. Allied Chemical jumped 10 points to a new high at 281. Adams Express sold up 13 points. U. 8. Bteel mounted 2 points, fell back 4, then again started forward. General Motors (old) went forward more than 4 points. Greena Cananca led the Coppers with a spurt of over 8 points, and American Smelting moupted more than 3. International Nickel surged ahead on announce- ments that stock of more than 88 per cent of the voting power of Mond Nickel had been deposited un- der the merger plan. Utilities developed impressive strength. International Telephone, Electric Power and Light, Consoli- dated Gas, Columbia Gas & Electric, and Brooklyn Union Gas mounted from about 2 to 6 points. In the rails, Canadian Pacific mounted more than 7 points, while Delaware and Hudson, New Yerk Central and points and more. National Cash Register, General Electric, Westinghouse Electrie Johns Manville, and Montgomery Ward wera among issues climbing from 3 to 8 points. Great Nothern Ore was in demand on reports of the discovery of a new ore body in Minnesota, There were few soft spots. Med- land Steel Products preferred drop- ped over 8 points to 250, but recov- ered to 255. Wright Aero sold off about 3 peints Union Carbide was quickly rushed up 13 points to a new high at £22. The coppers were again under ac- cumulation as some dealers were re- ported to have already made the long rumored 1-4 cent advance to 17 cents a pound in the domestic price of the red metal. Steels were also well supported, as a substantial jump in scrap prices was announced at Chicago. Johns Manville extended fts gain to 3 points, and Archer Daniels Midland and General Electric sold 2 and 4 points higher. Anaconda, {Calumet, Arizona, and Kennecott moved up from 1 to more than 2 roints: Abitinl Power, Stewart ‘Warner, Montgomery Ward, Colum- bia Graphophone, Warner Brotherz and Western Union alep sold from 1 to more than 3 points higher.
