 NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Operations on the long side were resumed in the stock market today but met with in different success. Pronounced rise of the few leaders failed to arouse enthu- siasm and trading lacked the breadth of last week. Reading was apparently selected as the leader in attempts to bid up the list. Copper shares, too. were in favor, by reason of a further decrease in European supplies, advanc- ing the price of the metal. Reading. under the spur of consistent bidding mounted more than three points to 16912. the highest figure of the year. Amalgamated also made new high record for the year by rising two points to S01a and Canadian Pacific advanced five points Toward the close the sell ling pressure had become greater and many gains were eliminated. New Haven fell to a new low record of 89H Rising tendency money market oper- ated against continuation of the ac- tive bull movement. Most of the lead ing bonds were inclined to sell off. Total sales represented a par value of $1,S37, 900. United States two's regist- cred declined One-half and fours reg istered quarter on call.
