STOCKS SOAR IN
BUOYANT MARKET
Improvement in Presidents
Condition Most Telling Factor.
Other Stimulating Influences
SPECIALTIES PROMINENT

New York, Oct 6.--The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
News developments over the week
end were favorable, and the course of
the stock market in every sense met to
day expectations entertained at the
close of last week by moving ahead
broadly and brickly. The forward
swing embraced railroad shares as we'll
as industrials
The steel and equipment issues were
well IN the lead from the outset and
they were closely seconded by the
( motors, oils, sugars, shippings and in
Vulnerable individual srecialties
Gains ranged from / to 3 points or so
| among the standard stocks. while some
of the so-called miscellaneous stocks
advanced 5 to 16 points. At midday the
movement slowed down to some extent,
and in many cases prices dropped back
from the top figures, but the position
within the market was not impaired
apprcciably.
The improvement in the President
condition was the most telling factor
! His illness had been depressing and the
street deprecated tho rather alarmist
character of the statement from the
White House last week. It is not
natural, therefore, that the reaction
from anxiety should be much in evi.
dence. IN support of this there We're
the further factors of the settlement
in the British railway strike. the con.
yening of the industrial conference in
Washington from which, looking at il
from the economic viewpoint. much is
expected, while at the same time it is
recognized that its deliberations may
be complicated by the precipitation of
the steel walkout in advance of the
gathering.
It has become pretty clear. how
ever, that the strike has nearly worn
itself out and possibly this may render
the radical labor leaders more pliable
The rioting at Gary was interpreted in
some quarters as indicating the last
phase of the strike on the theory that
when violence begins it is a sign that
the strikers are losing confidence in the
strength of their position.
The reconvening of the Supreme Court
which has many cases at the head of the
calendar dealing with big business was
regarded with interest. The advice of
the council of national defence to save
and produce as the only effective means
of keeping commodity prices down, and
the federal reserve bulletin. urging in
creased production, contained nothing
new so far as the street was concerned
but such remainders from quarters SO
influential are always timely.
The most spectacular performers
among the industrial shares were Cruel
bic Steel, General Motors, Mexican
Petroleum and Baldwin Locomotive
Steel touched los early. Atlantic Gulf,
Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific
were strong by virtue of their petroleum
possibilities. The coppers did we'll and
American Can, the tobaccos, lnterna-
tional Paper, the tire shares, Baltimore
g. Ohio, Reading, Atchison and others
enjoying expansive moments.
Stocks were none too freely offered in
either list, and the shorts were more
or less kept on the rack all the time.
