Three MILLION Shares

but that was when there was no stamp
tax and when floor traders were per-
mftted to toss hundreds of thousands OF
shares back and forth in wash sales
Now every quotation means something,
and IL Is conservative to say that today
business was equal to any 100000 shares
done in the big bull market OF htteen
years ago.
High records were made in a dozen
issues-absolute high records for all
time. Others made new high records
for the year. OF stocks moving into
high territory those that attracted most
attention were Smelters, Republic Iron,
Lackawanna Steel, Gulf State Steel,
Sloss, Chilli, Anaconda, Inspiration, Ne
vada Consolidated, Miami. Chino, Magma
and New York Air Brake. Cotton and
copper also made new high records, as
did every kind of steel product
The opening was strong and the pubic
Immediately took the market out Of the
hands Of the professionals. These latter
were waiting for the traditional reaction.
The progressive party carried the day,
however, and the conservatives were busy
protecting their short sales or running
away from the avalanche Of buying or
ders.
Directors Of the copper companies were
trying to decide today whether to sell
any spot copper at the new high record
Of 331s cents a pound. The did offer
some at 341s and bids OF "a cents were
received for December delivery. Cotton
went half a cent higher and the question
now Is whether the iron mills and the
mines and manufacturing concerns In
general will leave enough free labor in
the South to keep cotton under 20 cents

is being bid for next years crop that is
not even planted.
Even the railroads cheered up. Rail-
road bankers do not share with the rail-
road managers the worry over the eight

press-agented. Westinghouse Can and
