ST OCKS RALLY
AFTER WEAK
OPENING
IrreguIarity at Opening Fol-
lowed by Spirited Forward
Movement. in lndustFiaIs

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.--After
early regularity, featured by slight
declines in stocks which led 3
spirited advance near the close Of
yesterdays session, the stock mar
ket resumed its forward movement
today. The industrial stocks,
which have achieved new high
levels for the year and have dupl!-
Gated in the averages the best per-
formances of the bull market Of
1923, were again the favorites in
the market activity, though few
of the rails were taken along in the
upward movement. New York Gen.
trail, Illinois Central and Missouri
Pacific preferred were the most
prominent in the latter group.
Speculative interest was display.
ed principally in the copper, steel,
motor and oil stocks today, with
some Of the pool specialties resum-
ing the rally temporarily abandon
ed a few days ago. Strong hands
behind the current movement swept
their favorite stocks to higher price
levels, particularly the high.priced
issues in which the outside public
are not speculatively active. Mack
Trucks made a new gain of 4
points and sold up to a new high
at 10TH; United States Steel went
above its former high at Ill; Bald
win sold In good volume, above 1875;
American Can was active above its
opening price Of 1913.
With Mack Truck as leader, the
motor stocks developed a general
rally in the early trading today.
Motor companies have attracted
speculative interest by reason of
the favorable reports Of representa-
tive companies In the last few
weeks and the rising price trend of
their output. Chandler gained 2
points at sou; Pierce Arrow prefer
red was steady around 35; Stude-
baker duplicated its best previous
price at 80; White Motors was 8
points higher; Willys.Overland pre-.
70h.
Copper stocks invited the best
class or buying by reason Of the
steady advance in the market for
copper metal and in the stocks Of
nigh-grade copper companies. Amer
lean Smelling, Anaconda, Cerro de
Pasco, Utah Securities and United
States Smelling featured the cop.
pers with gains in the maximum Of
about 2 points.
Pan-Americans led the oil stocks
In slightly higher ground, though
as class the oils did not appear to
be ready to join the upward pro-
cession. The Pan-Americans derive
their market strength principally
from the present high earnings of
the company and their prominence
in fuel oil trade, in which profits
are very large. Independent steel
stocks and equipments were strong
at the opening of the market, but
lapsed into inactivity before the end
OF the first hour. Specially stocks
were featureless.

 Attacked In Cairo
fRY Associated Press.


 CAIRO, Nov. 19.-Two bombs, one of which exploded, were thrown at Major General Sir Lee Stack, Sirdar of the Egyptian army, while driving from the ministry of war today. General Stack also was attacked with revolver shots and badly wounded in the stomach. He was removed to a hospital.
 The three or four assailants involved in the affair eventually escaped. They first threw a bomb which failed to ex- plode. Afterwards they fired several rounds with revolvers, hitting General Stack, his aide de camp, his chauffeur and policeman.
 The medical bulletin states that Gen eral Stocks condition is serious. He Is suffering from shock and has three bull let wounds in the stomach, hand and foot, respectively.
 The Sirdar was successfully operated upon at the Anglo-American hospital and 1t was announced he was doing as we'll as could be expected. The other wounded men were said to be progress ing favorably.
 All Cairo seemed to be bewildered and indigant upon hearing of the shoot ing and newspapers this evening express ed abhorrence.

 Efforts were made only recently by Zagloul Pasha as Egyptian premier to negotiate a further agreement with Eng land under which the defence of Egypt might pass into Egyptian hands. but these were without result, the British position being that it was impossible to relinquish control of the Suez Canal de- fopooa

The Kind That Does Not De press the Heart Action But Gives Immediate Relief.

Doctors can prescribe Bromo-Aspirin with absolute assurance that it will have no depressing effect on the heart. On the contrary, Bromo-Aspirin is slightly stimulating to the heart. It contains no quinine and gives imme- diate relief for colds, headache, back ache, fever, grippe or neuralgia.
 There is no aspirin like Taylor's Bromo-A Aspirin. It is the kind that does not depress the heart. That is why it is better than plain aspirin.
