BUYING OF RAILROAD STOCKS
 FEATCRED MARKET DEALINGS

New York, Aug. 21-Wall streets be- lief in an early settlement of the rail strike found expression today in the heavy buying of railroad stocks and bonds, most of the standard issues in both classes of securities rising to new high records for the year on gains of 1 to point. Widespread public participation in the buying movement resulted in to- tai stock sales of nearly 1,0ee.00e shares the largest since the culnination1of the speculative movement late last spr,rg.
 Shares of grain carrying railroads, such as Northern Pacific, Canadian Pa cific, Great Northern. St Paul and .Chi~ cago and Northwestern, and coal car rying railroads. such as New Jersey Central, Reading. Lehigh NaiIsy < and Delaware and Hudson, were ir greafest demand, presumably in the belief that the movement of bumper crops and the resumption of coal mining will result in heavily increased earnings.
 In recent weeks, the bulk of st ocl5 mar ket trading has been Tn the hands of professional traders. the so-ealled public demand being almost negligible.
 Negligible because Of the apparent un- willingness of-the small investor to take chance in the face of serious coal.and rail strike complications. Stock brokers reports however, that large accuhuIafions of stock recently have been acquired by strong interests which have witifdrswn them from the market, diminishing tic floating supply .and accounting, in part for the strong undertone that the, ,narke f has. shown.

 The courts this year are lively and according to Mrs. Whitney. who has ] played at St. Petersburg, Fla, during 1 the winter are in better shape than those l of the southland.
 On Monday several of the players be
 gan getting in a bit of practice. Gerald
 Brassili of this city, present champion who defeated this years holder of the
 Gates -Underhill diamond medal. the high.

 In past years much has been said about the borders at the grounds and
 it was intended to put in new borders before this years play but because .oi lack of finances the work could not bs started this year. The grounds, however are in better shape than in past year;
  phy. and the play will without doubt b. as fast and spectacular as in past years deserving of the patronage of local peo pie, if this old Norwich sport is to bt
 kept in this city.
