Wall Street-Broad and active trad- Ing attended today's early dealings with gains of one to two points in shares of various descriptions and as much as seven points for Bethle- hem Steel old stock. War issues and coppers were most in demand with U. 8. Steel, which added substantial fraction to yesterdays advance. Ship pings, Central Leather, International Paper and Industrial Alcohol were among the strongest specialties. Read- ing led the rails at gain of over a point and Ohio Gas featured the utilities.
 The first hours business of almost 100000 shares was the largest for any similar period in several weeks. Additional gains in industrials, especially the New Bethlehem Steel issues and Lackawanna Steel were balanced, however. by realizing sales in marines and coppers. Rails also acted as a drag, Pacifics and coalers displaying general heaviness. Selling was resumed in more moderate volume later, T. s. Steel falling under yesterdays final prices. Shipping, coppcrs and the entire active list rose briskly again at midday and other leaders revived substantially above lowest levels. Bonds were steady.
 The spurt in shippings at extreme gains of and points for marine preferred and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies. respectively spread to other stocks in the, afternoon.
 Closing-Best quotations for steel and marines in the last hour were offset by heaviness in Lehigh Valley and consolidated Gas. The closing was strong.
