(By the International News SeryIce.)
New York, Oct. although the
stock market was irregular today, 1t
passed the million-share mark and one
new high record was made. General
Motors was the record breaker, and
it was specialties OF that class that
distinguished themselves New York
Air Brake came within a few points
Of its high record Of last year. Lin
seed preferred, International Paper,
Porto Rican Sugar and Owens Bottle
made large gains. OF the standard
rails, Union Pacific was favored. with
New York Central running close to it.
But the big thing in the market was
the way United States Steel held in
the face of strenuous attempts to
break it. 1t was attacked twice by
some daring operator, who lost on
both occasions. The public bought on
every recession and the banking in
terests also took the stock. So lively
was the battle that Steel furnished
one-fOurth of all the business done on
the exchange.
Brokers reported that many GUS
toners had Cancelled stop loss Of
profit orders that had been making so
much trouble. This alone improved
the technical condition of the market.
Fundamentals have never ceased to be
strong. 1t was only the technical
condition that made the trregularlty

not lacking of long stock in volume over
hanging the market at higher levels. For
a period in the afternoon strength was
succeeded by irregularity as the session
