strength in Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, that issue at one time being up

what There was no news to account for
the strength, other than talk that allied
banking houses would undertake the re-
oreanization of the property.
Trading was not as active in the after
noon session. The tone of the market
was very much better and prices moved
up a little from the low, with some issues
beconing strong. Among these issues
were Southern Pacific. American Coal
Products and one or two of the copper
group The reason for the strength in
Southern Pacific was the July earnings
statement, which showed an increase in
gross of 81, $50 2S4. and an expansion in net
Of si,3l0,962. On the whole there was more
jrregularity in the afternoon than in the

Cramp Shipbuilding Moved Up
Sharply. S. Steel Shares
Centre of Activity

Il was a day of active trading and
rapid fluctuations on the local exchange.
Many issues suffered sharp set-backs dur
ing the morning, but In the afternoon
prices rallied all around under the lead of
United States Steel which had previously
been heavily sold. That a considerable
part of this selling was for short account
became evident when the recovery set in
and covering was found to be difficult.
Cambria rallied i'm sympathy.
A number OF weak epous developed IN
the early dealings, but the only stock
to show real pressure was United states
Steel, I'm which the selling was heavy
throughout the morning. Approximately
1000 shares changed hands before midday.

Baldwin Locomotive broke six points,
but only some 200 shares came out in the
process and II recovered part of the

Just before the close j. c. Brill opened
with a sale of 100 shares at 4iA, COM

a feature of strength was Cramp Ship
building, which moved contrary to the
general trend on the announcement from
Washington of the contemplated enlarge

The company also had received an order

Local brokerage houses were crowded
with customers. Some were looking for
bargains, while others were merely watch
ing their already-made commitments.
The response to requests for additional
margins was reported to be very satis-
factory. While steel stocks were moving
downward prices of iron and steel prod
ucts were advanced. For instance, the
American Sheet and Tinplate Company
advanced its quotation on blue annealed
No. 10 gauge to S1.l0, Pittsburgh, or 81
ton above the previous quotations.
