NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK CITY-Bread inquiry for
railroad and popular industrial shares lifted
stock prices at the opening of today's mar
ket, gains ranging from moderate fractions
to two points. Investment buying of the
rails was reflected in the strength of Atchi-
son. New York Central and Norfolk ~
Western. Several high priced specialties,
including General Electric, National Lead
and Woolworth jumped to points in ae-
tive trading.
Continued absorption of low priced rail-
road shares, notably those of the south
western broup, furnished an impetus to
blillish operations in other sections of the
list. Oil issues moved higher despite an
nouncenent of a reduction in the price
of Smackover crude, emphasizing the mar
ket's growing indifference to unfavorable
trade developments. Public utilities stocks
also pressed firmly ahead, New 1924 high
records were established by Missouri Paci-
fic preferred, Public Service of New Jersey
and Standard Plate Glass. Gains of / to
70 points were recorded by Baldwin, Amer
lean Can, American Water Works, Frisco
preferred, Gulf States Steel. West Penn
Power, New Orleans, Texas and Mexico and
WHY'S Overland preferred, Roy al Dutch
changes opened higher, with the French pc
litical uncertainty ended by President Mill
Grand $ decision to retire.
With long showing increased activity,
prices continued to gain ground with buying
becoming more diversified as the session
progressed Further strength developed in
leading railroad stocks, the average of
which is at a new. high level for the year.
Union Pacific moved up two points while
Colorado Southern common and first pre-
ferred, Texas & Pacific, Katy" preferred,
Pere Marquette, Southern and Pittsburgh
and West Virginia established new ton

a number of other indlstrials moved up two
points or more Call money again renewed
