MANY STOCKS RISE

Railroad, Copper, Oil and
||Some of Motors Go Higher
Il in Today's Trading.
BY STUART p. WEST.

~recisl Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 21-Prices rose
TO fresh heights on the stock ex'
change from the outset today. Ir
another wave of buying, equaling any
thing which occurred in the upward
movement of the previous week
stock after stock reached new high
levels, and speculative enthusiasm
spread throughout the list. American
Can and General Electric, the latter
at its best for the year, were among
the leaders.
Metal Shares Active.
Metal shares in several instances
were at new highs. American Smelt-
ing and Refining was a feature and
Chile Copper and kennecott also got
to their best prices. Cerro De Pasco
Miami Copper and American Metals
went along. The strength in the
metal group was attended by firm
tone in the various metal markets
Copper advanced fractionalIy to
l2& cents pound, and the silver
market kept around its high mark for
the season. The prospect of favorable
lem and the likelihood in such an
event of jump in the foreign de-
mand for copper and other metals
were the chief influences.
The oils were actively bought in
spite of the announcement of further
reductions in crude oil. Their per-
formance was a boon to speculative
operations. for it was the opinion
that If they could do so well while
prices of crude oil and oil products
were still on the down grade, most of
the bad news had been fully dis
counted
Hudson Shares Strong.
Conspicuous strength in Hudson
Motors was the bright spot in the
market for the automobile shares.
The stock now pays 50 year, while
earnings. if the latest reports can be
taken as guide. fully warrant d
higher rate.
Coincident with the publication of
the first six months income account
of the Wrigley Company was a report
that the next dividend disbursement
would be at the rate of 81 annually
instead of So In the half year Wrig-
ley's net income. after taxes. depre-
citation. etc, equaled s2.36 a share on
the capital stock.
First June Railroad Report.
The first of the June railway earn
ings statements appeared today, that
of the Kansas City Southern. 1t
showed decreases in both gross and
net as compared with year ago. The
market paid not the slightest atten-
tion to these losses, the stock of this
particular road advancing to d new
high for the year.
Sterling exchange was strong
again, approaching the high of the
year. There was dImlnution of the
money supply. While funds on the
exchange loaned at per cent. accom-
mediation outside was obtainable at
115. Wheat and corn opened lower
but subsequently recovered.
