NEW YORK, May 16.-Insertion OF
the words Unreasonable combina-

by the United States supreme court
brought delight to all persons inter.
ested In the stock market today with
the result that after weeks OF lethargy
the exchange took on much activity.
AS an indication OF the satisfaction
felt by those most directly concerned
1t was stated by all OF the big broker
age firms that they were flooded with
buying orders long before the regular
hour for the opening.
The concerns with international con-
nections remained open all night and
were heavy buyers on the London,
Paris and Berlin bourses long before
trading was possible here. The result
was generally strong tone here and
the leading issues, notably steel, the
Hartman shares and Reading made
decided gains.
There was difference of opinion as
to whether the boom was spasmod!c
OF really marked the start OF a big
year In stocks. The most noticeable
thing on the floor of the exchange was
the small amount Of actual stock be.
ing hawked.
On the curb market there was some
excitement at the opening, but 1t was
shortliyed. There was no tobacco
stock offered at all in the early hours
while the trading on the Standard Oil
stock was confined to 10 shares which
were disposed Of at figures that aver
aged more than three points above

agreed that as a result of the decision
the stock would be even more valuable
in the future after the Reorganization
plans are completed and ANNOUNCED
