STOCK TRADING IN
PAST WEEK BRISK
Feverish Activity Is Shown
in Great Amount of Ope-
err tons on Exchange

New York septem 1.-THE ex-
tent OF last weeks feverish specula-
lions may be judged from the fact that
operations amounted to not less than
760C. 600 shares. This is exclusive OF
many transactions in odd lots which are
not reported by the stock ticker.
Public or outside interest was the
largest and most extensive in years.
The advance was far more impressive
than last years meteoric movements,
which were mainly confined 10 the
so-called war brides"
This weeks business included issues
Of that character but to a comparative
ly limited degree. In no important
instance did the war shares come with
in hailing distance of last years max
imums steel was the leader, its over
turn for the week at the new record OF
los. amounting TO fully 1,100,00 shares.
Allied industrials were equally strong
as demonstrated by the new dividends
declared by these issues. including
Lackawana steel
Coppers and metals in general, were
active and higher. their advance be-
ing accelerated by statements OF the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany and similar concerns, which re-
ported enormous gains in earnings.
Equipment shares followed the lead.
but were under pressure. although
general motors overshadowed all
other stocks on its rise Of 176 points
to $50
New records also were made by rails.
Reading rising TO 114h, while Union
Pacific touched 1881, its top price
since in 1914. in the brisk and general
advance which featured the weeks
final dealings.
There was a better inquiry for bonds
and other Improvement issues at direct
sale but the movement failed to re-
fleet extraordinary dealings of the
exchange.
