Stock Market

(BV The Associated Press)
 NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Favorable interpretation of current new develop ments, imparted a buoyant tone to the stock market today, active issues recovering Mondays losses and ad- vancing higher ground on gains rang ing from one to six points.
 President Harding's assurance that no immediate seizure of coal mines and railroads was contemplated, al. though authority for such action was desired in case of great emergency, combined with reports of increased car loadings, and Chicago dispatches which indicated the railroad labor boards refusal to make the so-called living wage" the sole basis for fixing the new scale of maintenance of way men, caused more active demand for railroad shares which advanced from one to more than three points.
 Chicago and Northwestern closes the day with a net gain or 3H and Canadian Pacific Is, while gains of 1h points or more took place in Reading, Union Pacific, Great North ern preferred, Atlantic Coast Line, Le- high Valley, Norfolk and Western and few others. Chicago and Alton issues were re-actionary.
 Steel shares also participated exten- sively in the upward movement United States Steel common making up it's quarterly dividend of 1A per cent on very heavy dealings.
 Speculative issues, like Mexican Pc troleum, Baldwin and Studebaker also gained substantially partly in response to short covering operations. The tobacco group exhibited marked strength and coppers rose on the high prices quoted for the metal. Strength of American tobacco which rose to a new high, was attributed to the stabil- ization of retail prices, which followed the abandonment of the trade discount policy of that company.
 Special stocks which registered new high prices for the year included Amer ican Ice, National Lead and Retail Stores.
 Total sales approximated 100000 shares.
 The money market adhered to It's of the. previous day. open ing at 34 per cent, but advancing toI 4 per cent in the latter part of the session. T N tM < gni
 Leading foreign exchanges showed further steadiness on the higher range for those remittances quoted by Lon don. Sterling was steady, despite heavy offerings of commercial bills. French francs were substantially above the previous days and the Ger man mark raised sharply.
