Encouraged by the optimistic state- ments by Judgo Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Steel Corporation, relative to the business Outlook and lubor conditions within the industry, stock market operators who have been vigorously working | for @ higher tevel of stock values put new vim in their campaign to-day, [ t and the market was notably stronger throughout the session. ‘Wall Street has been paying much hee dto reports that the movement to unionize workers of the Steel Cor- poration will succeed, and that de- mands for higher wages and easier working conditions will be made, Judge Gary stated quite explicitly that he is convinced mill employees will decide that they will be better off if they do not place themscives under the wing of a union. Strong buying made itself felt in Steel Common and in the independent steels, The pool in Crucible was par- oularly agkreasive and tt went up more than 6 points. Western houses supplied an unusually large part of the buying orders. The, position of bull speculators was supported by further reports of increasing prosperity, by a Govern- ment report which stated that weath- er conditions during the past week were much in favor of the growing crops, by continued comparative case in call money rates and lastly by a better oxhWition in the foreign ex- change mafkét. Every group of stocks was in strong demand. Equipment, oil, tire, food, leather and tobacco shares all moved up for gains ranking from 2 to more than 5 points, Very little profit taking occurred as the rise progressed.
