Jan. 25 (®—The bull party went on its most violent ram- | page of the new year on the stock market todday, bidding up dozens of issues 5 to 17 points to mew high ground. Trading was in enormous volume during the first two hours, in- dicating thal total sales might cross the 6,000,000 mark, but moderated after midday, and the ticker, which had fallen considerably behind the market, was able to catch up with trading. | The wild trading of the morning | was in response to overnight news | developments, including the moder- | ate increase in brokers loans, and the resumption of dividends on Bet lehem Steel common and the com- pany’s excellent earnings report for | the last quarter. { The increase in brokers' loans, amounting to $48,000,000, was under the most conservative predictions. That the total would reach a ncw peak had been taken for granted. | Distinctly pleasing to Wall street was the sweeping improvement of over 9 per cent in the New York R serve hank’s reserve ratio, carrying it to 80 per cent, less than one per cent under a year ago, when total | brokers loans were about $1,6 000,000 less than at present. :30 P.
