strong. Interest was not, however, very
well distributed. Attention conferred
variety Of miscellaneous Specialties.
These were. pushed ahead while other
parts of the list were neglected. Spc.
cialties 8mong the motor group were
again in demand. Activity here was
larger than at any time since the up
ward movement in these stpCks began.
Durant or Delaware ran up to a new
high record gaining points while the
Indiana stock followed closely.
The success which the Stltz new six
cylinder closed models are meeting was
the basis for operations for the rise in
this stock. Peerless Motor and Carl
ner Motto, were others that were active.
But price changes were unimpOrtant.
Coal shares were taken in hand, and
substantial gains were recorded in sJCh
stocks as Glen Alden, Lehigh Valley
Coal ami Acme Coal.
The recent upward movement in
Schultz Retail Stores was accounted

Nash Motor Makes Spectac.
riar Jump of IL Points
on Open.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright. 1928, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE stock mar.
ket today was given over largely 10 a
lot Of speciality movements. In the in
dustrial list these were nearly all up
ward. In the rail section the indivi.
dual moves were most of them down
Nash Motors had n spectacular jump
opening up II points on the sale OF
200 shares and subsequently continu-
ing the advance. This was due TO an
accumulation of buying orders, influ'
cnced by the statement that the COM
pany is earning $23 share in a mar
ket in which offerings we're exceedingly
scarce.
Postum Cereal was bid up again on
talk Of a recapitalization plan.
The story was that the recent holders
would be offered . IL new shares fol-
each share Of old. The move in Beech
nut packing was set down as pool op'
Grafton. the motive backNof which was
the possibility of a further dividend
increase later on. In connection witt
the advance in Owens Bottle, the Street
had report, for which there was nc
confirmation whatever, that stock di
vidend was impending.
Other strong specialties included May
Department Stores, Associated Dry
Goods, Public Service of New Jersey
American Safety Razor and Austin
Nichols.
Railway shares. were freely sold
while the industrials were moving for
ward. An overnight drop of . point:
in Delaware & Hudson gave this sec
ton Of the market bad jolt. The break
in ID. & H. reflected the belief that di
rectors, when they meet, would cut the
dividend from the present 8 per cent
Reason enough for this apprehension is
found in the fact that the company has
not been meeting its fixed charges this
year, and judging by the balance sheet
Of a year ago which showed an excess
of 1892 900 liabilities over assets, is
in no position TO pay out dividends
which have not been earned. st, Paul
stocks also were actively sold.
