MAKE ANOTHER
EXCITING SKYWARD TRIP
Both Common and Preferred Break Into Neo High Ground
AdUance S36.5O and $50, Respectively for the Week

Another spectacular advance in the
General Asphalt shares overshadowed
all other considerations in today's local
market. The demonstration furnished
lifting climax to the weeks remarkable
performance in these shares.
The renewed urgent demand for both
issues, which developed Immediately
after the opening, was more. surprising
in view of the relative neglect of both
stocks. in yesterdays trading. The sup
ply OF stock was once more found to
be alarmingly scant. There was the
usual result, a rapid elevation of the
common to 125b or an overnight gain
of SS.25.. while tho preferred was jam
med up $12 to 1877. Both prices were
the highest of the week and on record
1t represented nm astonishing advance
of S36.50 a share in the common for the
week and $50 for the preferred
Measured by the violence of the ad-
vance the dealings were comparatively
light, n little over 500 shares of the
changing hands, while the turn
over in the preferred was less than 300
shares.
For the first time it likewise had a
helpful effect upon the general list The
tone of the entire market was decidedly
improved and the trading In the other
local stocks was n bit more animated.

were each a shade better. There was
smart rally in Lake Superior Corpora
ton in the second hour to 20H.
No better eXemplification of the ex-
hilirating influence of mystery in
whetting the speculative appetite could
be furnished than in the weeks sensa
tional bullish campaign in the General
Asphalt shares If the rank and file
are buying promiscuously, and there
are reasons for believing that they are,
il is n genuine case of mental bet.
Up to this time no one has yet been
able to present satisfactory explana-
ton for the phenomenal rise in these
shares. All sort OF rumors and theories
have accompanied the almost uninter-
rupted ascent. Up to the present moth
ing of an authentic character has come
to surface that would satisfactorily ex-
plain the Unsuitable speculative appetite
manifested. Technical reasons have fur
nished partial clues. yet these are merely
all guesswork. In the meantime both
the common and preferred keep climb
ing to dizzy heights. In truth, to prices
never dreamed of by some Of the most
enthusiastic admirers Of the property.
All that can be done is just to keep on
guessing. SO far it has been n safe
play. There, however, never was a
tree, no matter how rapid its growth,
that ever reached heaven. Judging by
some of the extravagant prices being
predicted for these stocks there is no
limitations TO the current skyward trip.

NEWS OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD-NEN
UPWARD SWING RESUMED
WITH INCREASING VIGORI
Steel Group Resumed Active Leadership With Substantial
Misunderstanding Confidence of Financial World

Commission business was on the
largest scale of the week, the buying
coming in almost in food. and there
was a general display of confidence in
all circles over the market outlook. In
the late forenoon there was usual
week ending realizing, causing somc re-
cessions from the highest range.
All other developments In the finan-
cial world were dwarfcd into insigniti b.
ance this week by reason Of the inagu =.
ration Of the long threatened steel
strike. The phenomenal strength of the
market throughout the week in face of
the possible widespread disturbance by
the upheaval in this, the Country's pivo-
tai industry, indicated beyond the
slightest doubt the utmost confidence of
the powerful financial interests, not
only of the signal failure Of the wa TX
out of the steel workers. hut also that
normal conditions in that industry
would be soon restored.
Confidence, as matter of fact, was
written rather largely across the face
of thr market the entire week. Certain
amount of restraint was applied against
undue speculative enthusiasim, but all
signs indicate at tho close Of the week
the quiet withdrawal of these bar
riers. leaving nothing in the way for o
broad and active market next week.
The outstanding feature of the week
and which spoke volumes was the re-
markablc strong tPchuical position of
the market. To some observers this
was little short Of revelation. 1t
showed, however. important Wall street
had put it's house in ORDER and was
fully prepared for all contingencies of
the situation. The outstanding short
interest cannot be accurately measured.
There is nothing to denote any great
existing amount. 1t was proved con-,
clusiveIy, nevertheless, that stocks were
in much stronger hands than they have
been for n long time. The so-called
public apparently has plenty of funds
and is likely to rush in and follow any
opportunity. Industrial shares still have
the first call. This is not difficult to
explain. On account Of the scarcity Of
materials throughout the world the in =
dustrial concerns can hardly help doing
record breaking business, and in con :
sequence, in spite of labor demands,
profits must be large.

New York, Sept. 27.-The week
closed with n buoyant market today.
Urgent buying developed in all parts
OF the list and many stocks made new
high records with gains ranging from
two to over ten points, while n number
of specialties sold at the highest prices
touched in recent years.
This fresh outburst OF speculative
enthusiasm was neither illogical nor un
expected. Over night developments in
the steel strike situation were regarded
as highly favorable. In brief, il was the
consensus of opinion of Wall Street that
the backbone of the strike had been
broken.
Under these circumstances coupled
with the better feeling engendcred yes
terday by the announced plan of the
government to fund the interest of the
Allies loans, it was not surprising an
urgent demand should spring up for
both accounts.
The steel stocks not only continued
the central points of interest, but also
proved TO be the fulcrum of the market
lever.

watched with acute interest and the
