4 Rise in Rails,

The strength in the railroad list was
rather notable. 1t surprised the specu-
lative element. which had been building
up beautiful theories In connection with
the importation OF securities from
abroad and the state of sterling en-
change to prove that the rails could
DOT go up now by any chance. II also
attracted attention because II occurred
at a time when the industrials were
under more or less pressure, thus sug-
costing a switch of speculative interest.
II has been commended all along that the
railroad shares could not compete with
the industrials because they lacked the
appeal TO the imagination. their specu-
lative possibilities were so obviously
limited as compa red will the industrials
and particularly the war stocks. on
the other hand. advance In the rails
has been insignificant compared with
that in the industrials. Any halt in
the rise in the war stocks Immediately
diverts speculative attention to the rail-
roads. However. the rails have made
many false starts and the improvement
yesterday was on too small a scale OF
activity upon which to base serious
hopes that a big move was in sight. In
the case of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific stocks there may have
been a special cause for strength in the
fact that these stocks sell ex dividend.
the former to-day and the latter to-
morrow. But no such explanation could
be offered for "A vigorous rise Of Az
points in New Haven and the strength

Terrific

Steel common yesterday held within
the same range, selling as high as II,
the top on the recovery so far. and as
low as 75h. The action OF the stock
was a disappointment to bearish and
bullish traders alike. The market ap-
peared to be full Of stock at the top and
strong buying developed on the reaction.
But IL the action of the stock was non
committal an interesting and possibly
significant feature was to be found In
a sharp falling of in activity. 1t
was the first full session In two
weeks In which transactions in Steel
totalled less than 100. 900 shares. In
this period daily transactions in Steel
ranged between 100000 and $4,000
shares. Altogether something like
1000, 900 shares were turned over, as
compared with the 5000. 900 shares out
standing. That IL a tremendous turn
over even for Steel. II represents
trading at a terrific pace and a great
shifting around OF speculative holdings.
II was just W weeks ago when Steel
entered the 1911 line for the first time
The price has had a big swing since and
is back at the same level.
