was found in the possibility OF some
temporary stimulating development ovet
the week end. which might be supplied
in the President signing the railroad bill
at the eleventh hour. and the possibility
of the long awaited Supreme Court de.
cision coming on Monday 10 the stock
dividend case.
Gains extending from I to g points
were made at the outset by a wide
variety Of issues which resulted from
the rather scant supply of stocks and
tho apparent urgent demand OF the
short interest.
Trading became quiet after the early
demand had run it's course, but prices
continued TO advance. General Motors
dominated the list at an extreme gain
of 10 points to 251 y, or % points over
its recent low. Oils. stees and special
ties shared in the movement and before
noon low grade rails reasserted their
recent leadership Rock Island. Texas
Pacific, Pcrc Marquette and New
Haven rose | to points, standard
issues also hardening.
Improvement did not extend to the
bond market. Liberty seconds. is and
other issues Of Victory notes sustaining
further losses.
Rails made further advances at mid
day, but their strength was used as a
cover for heavy selling Of industrials.
General Motors forfeited I'll of its gain
and reactions of = to ! points occurred
throughout the general list. stcels show
ing marked weakness.
Further inroads against high priced
SpecialtieS were recorded in the last
hour. but standard industrials made
substantial reCoveries ON the further
strength shown by rails.

RENEWED LIQUIDATION IN
u. G.. l. THE LOCAL FEATURE
Dealings IN General List Continued of Small Dimension,
Vide Fluctuations in Inactive Stocks

The weakness of United Gas I'm =
provement overshadowed all other move :
ments in today's local market. For
no apparent reason there was a resump E
tiaon of persistent liquidation of the
stock, witnessed recently, and which
forced the price down to 51aI, de :
cline Of $1.25 from last nights final
quotation. The pressure was trace :
able to one Of the houses which figured
prominently. in the previous selling
movement, but the real identity of the
source, of the selling was still concealed.
Nothing concerning the affairs of the
company could be held accountable for
the recurring liquidation. The seem :
lngly urgent character of the selling at
the time when it was generally known
there were extremely few buying orders
IN the market, suggested either the
cleaning up of an impaired account,
or the selling of the stock to bolster
up an account having stocks of less
marketable value.
The fresh weaknesses IN the stock
had depressing effect upon the other
local utility shares without, however.
any serious loss of ground. Philadel-
phia Electric shaded to 246s and Phil
adelphmia Traction. on few transac-
tions, declined 81 to COZ. Philadel-
