STOCK MARKET REVIEW
(By r. L. Roden.)

The stock market during the week
just ended has shown alternate
strength and weakness. with heavy
trading in many specialties at higher
prices. AS the end of the wreck ap-
preached the volume of trade was
somewhat smaller, restricted by the
pending election on Tuesday. The
more spectacular advances occurred
in such issues as Utah Copper. Ameri-
can Locomotive, Central Leather, An
aconda and Columbia Gas. The new
high prices for many of the standard
leading stocks invited rather heavy
realizing sales. partly representative
of quick protit-taking and partly due
TO the continuance of the liquidation
of foreign holdings of American
shares.
Railroad presidents of Eastern
lines are quoted as saying that pres
ent prospects point to a car shortage
this winter, which will be the worst
ever experienced due to the steady
enlargement Of traffic on every road
east Of the Mississippi Buying Of
cars and locomotives is assuming
large proportions, especially In the
case of locomotives A single order
for 1000 engines has been placed by
the Russian government in addition
to the domestic orders In Octob ~.
orders were placed for 20.942 freight
and passenger cars
The investment situation is so IA :
vorahle that the attention of specu i.
lators and investors is being attracted
to the low-priced railway shares.
There is little doubt about these roa d..
being able to obtain all the money
