New York, Nov. Except for the
war stocks, which were weak, the
general list displayed a strong under
tone today. with the railroads the ia
vorites. Several new high prices for
this movement were recorded by the
railroad group. owing to optimistic
sentiment created by publication of
record earnings of the Pennsylvania
system for September and large in
creases by New York Central. Steel
common was strong early in the ses-
sion and touched a new high price
for this movement, but sold off in the
sales. The sharp break of IS "a
points in Bethlehem Steel common at
tracted attention and served to unset
tie the war shares.
The market opened strong under
leadership of Steel common and the
rails. Canadian Pacific was at the
front of the railroad group and ad-
vanced ten points on aggressive buy
ing Before the end of the first hour
prices receded when stocks were sup
piled, but the upward trend was re-
sumed in the second hour and con-
tinued during the noon hour. Profit
taking, however. developed in the
afternoon, when the war stocks also
became heavy. The close was strong,

tial part of their gains.
