TONE SHOWN
 IN THE STOCK MARKET
Heavy Dealings in Standard Railway
 Securities.

New York, Oct. S-A much health fer tone was shown in today's strong and active stock market than for some tome past, one of the chief fea- lures being subordination of specail- ties and heavy dealings in standard railway securities
 Trading in war stocks, however, was by no means negligible. The leaders opened strong and recorded gains in the early trading, Bethlehem Steel top ping all former records with a rise to yesterdays high price. This gain, however. was lost during later trad ing, the stock closing at 40, nine and one-half points under yesterdays close
 Apart from the trading in favorite war specialties was the spectacular rise of 68 3-4 points in General Chem ical, whose stock went to 360. Deal ingS in this issue were small, the ad- vance being attributed to reports that a large extra dividend would soon be declared.
 Railway stocks led in the trading all
 the way. healthy advances being re- corded in the Hill and Hartman vania, New Haven, St. Paul and other issues. The feature of today's trad 1 ing in rails was the advance of 5-s | points in Reading which touched 162 12. with sales of 145,O0O shares
 The coppers. likewise, were upward 1 bound and registered advances. Volume of trading was very undim- | finished. Total sales of 1, 375, 900 shares were recorded. This was the tenth
 consecutive day of full trading where the volume had been about the same
