was featured by a strong and active
demand for speculative stocks and
a general Improvement In the price
level OF the speculative leaders In
practically every group. Cash sell

absent today and gave place to a
vigorous buying movement which
was generally attributed to the re.
plenishment Of stocks that had been
previously discarded by traders.
The demand was most insistent In
the oils and low priced rails. though
the leaders In the motor and equip
ment group also came in for their
share Of attention.
Many Gains Made.
Studebaker continued the forward
movement which has now been In
progress almost without interrup.
ton for three weeks and has been
more pronounced since the marking
off of the stock dividend at 116n
the stock allowing 90 points, for the
dividend was a new high price for
the year. Baldwin added nearly
two points.
There has been a change of front
in the attitude OF some traders to-
ward the second-grade railroad
stocks during the past two weeks.
The wholesale dumping OF these
stocks in the first part Of the
month was one of the important
contributing factors to general de-
preston of the market. There were
