 tically to shares of the inactive group. Bethlehem Steel. common and pre-
 ferred, dominated the early market, the common rising to its highest price in several years. Anaconda Copper

 any advance abroad.

 Canadian Pacific making the greatest
 gain. Local brokers reported some inquiry from London for the forego-
 ing issues. On the other hand Stecl,
 Pennsylvania and Reading yielded
 further fractions. The business of the first hour was comparatively fair, but by noon dullness again ruled. Bonds followed tho regular course of stocks, with further heavincss in St. Paul fconvertibles

 Close.-Dcmand having been satis- fled, the market became dull and
 slightly lower in the final hour, with another rally toward the end. The closing was strong.
