STOCKS RESUME
UPWARD SWING.
Constant Shifting OF Leadership
Kept Speculative Enthusi-
asm at a High Pitch

New York, March 10.-Thc trading
market, and while there was not the
same sensational upbidding of prices
the forward movement altogether was
remarkably we'll sustained. AS might
reasonably be expected in view Of the
substantial advance in prices in the last
two or three days an extensive volume
of realizing sales we're encountered, but
the momentum of the market apparently
had reached such a pitch to overcome
these heavy offerings. In the more con
servativc circles the furious upbiddirg
of the different groups was regarded as
unwholesome, but evidently no effort
was made to stem the strong upward
tide. To the contrary, there was a gen.
eral disposition to let the movement run
its course until money market condi-
, tions produced an automatic check.
Flushed by their success in the two
preceding sessions the various pools and
/ combinations resumed aggressive opera
tons on the constructive side of many
stocks and without much opposition
pushed prices steadily to higher levels.
There was the same constant shifting
! from one group to another, which not
! thusiasm at a high pitch, but also
facilitated the liberal profit taking sales
| elsewhere.
! At the outset leadership was shifted
to the rails and numerous substantial
gains were recorded in that division be-
fore the trading switched back to the
industrisls. General Motors took the
lead again with a spirited rise Of =
points. Other motors, as we'll as oils,
equipments. stcels and coppers we're
carried up TO points. Profit taking
checked the rise in the motors. but this
was Offset by the greater strength shown
elsewhere. Additional incentive for the
buying being found in the Z per cent
call renewal rate, which carried loans
over until Monday.

LOCAL STOCKS
LITTLE CHANGED
Firmness Of v. G. !. Reflected
Increasing Confidence Con-
cerning the Dividends

The strength Of United Gas Improve
ment was the outstanding feature OK IN the
carly dealings 10 the local market. Tbe
etock was In fairly active demand at
the outset and before the. end OF ths
fret hour the price had been carried
81 above par to 81. The resump.
tion Of dividends by the Public Service
Co., which will add materially, to ths
u. @. I. income, apparently had q good
effect In that many seem to believe II
makes the maintenance Of present 8 per
cent dividend more certain than ever.
Lake Superior Corporation was under
continued realizing pressure, shading to
20N, or ~ points under yesterdays
top price. There seems. to be different
interpretations concerning the bond
holders agreement and In certain
quarters there was a feeling that the
Lake Superior holders benefited little
by the deal. .
Trading in the general list continued
very limited with mixed price changes,
although the alterations either way from
last nights closing level were unim.
portant.
