NEW YORK, June S.-The share
list today continued highly irregular
as the result of professional operations
first in one set of stocks and then
another.
The announcement that st. Paul
common. under the reorganization
plan, was to be assessed S32 a share
was followed by heavy selling which
carried TO stock to s. Then as the
program was more carefully studied,
sharp rally occurred. in the course of
which the stock sold above 10. The
S2S assessment proposed for the pre-
ferred was somewhat less than ex-
pected, and the result was recovery
from Tuesdays close of 151s to II.
Subsequently both stocks moved with
considerable uncertainty.
Motor Shares Active.
The Wall street story that the same
interests which had been back of the
Use in Mack Trucks had bought into
the Pierce-Arrow and White Motors
had a telling effect The Pierce-Ar
rows stocks were very strong, and
White ~Totors were taken in large
qua.ftcr at advancing prices.
The remarkable advance in Hud-
son Moor continued on reports that
earnings during the first five months
announced to 81 a share. Moon Motor
made d new high with a rise of over
2 points. There was a better demand
.--r Eupp and for Chandler. Stude-
p1.kef and General Motors were not as
rcns. 4cuous, but still they were promi-
nent. The statement was again made
authoritatively that in the automobile
industry generally the June production
would be up SubSta ntially to that of
May, which was very large.
Sugar Jumps About.
Du Pont made a new high. Some ex-
traordinary fluctuations occurred in
Great Western Sugar. The stock had
closed at 1885 Tuesday. Before the
first hour was out today it was sell
i1g at 10. Then came sharp re-
eeSsion of points or SO. followed by
a more moderate renewal of the ad-
vance. The buying was based pri-
marily upon the attractiveness of the
yield. 1t had little to do with con-
aitions in the sugar industry, as was
1hown by the comparative sluggish
hsss in most of the other sugar
Nocks.
Many New High Marks.
Among the specialties American Ice
ran up nearly 4 points, Air Reduction

Exma was up nearly five points. There
was special strength in May Depart
nent Stores and in Arnold Constable.
At one stage United States Realty

stock was active at new high prices.
International Telephone and Telegraph

up 81 points from where it was selling
