ALL STOCKS BUOYANT
in ACTIVE TRADING
Strength Of Market Attributed to
McAdoo Statement.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, May 2.-Stocks were al
most buoyant through most of the
session. today and leaders closed with
material net gains. Steel was at the
front of the advancing column all
day. It opened with gain of about
q point and more than doubled that.
Republic was close second with
gross advance Of nearly three points.
The tobacco stocks. a few specialties
and the railroads acted well. Cotton
was cratic again. =
Strength Of stocks was based large
ly on the McAdoo statement of hopes
for better market for rail securities.
II was cheering to Wall Street to see
the railroads move up at the same
time that industrials were advanced.
Traders are still more hopeful that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
would prepare proper contracts for
the railroads. st. PauPs strength was
a most encouraging sign. Even New
Haven advanced.
Strength of stocks was due to the
remarkably good financial condition
