Renewed buying of Southwestern
and other medium priced railroad
issues impaired q steadier undertone
to the bond market although con-
flicting price movements still pre-
vailed and retarded progressive
tendencies.
In response to improved earnings
statements and prospects for favor
able dividend developments, an un-
usually heavy demand developed for
the Frisco and Katy" liens. The
turnover in Katy" adjustment 5s
was the largest of any individual
issues for the day and corresponding
activity was shown by the Frisco in
come and adjustment 5s. Gains of
point were registered by all these
bonds. Other strong spots in the
semi-speculative rail group were

Western Indiana 5 lbs.
Heavy selling of Pan-American
Petroleum shares brought about
sympathetic reaction in the COM

other oil issues. Both the Pan
American and Skelly convertible
yielded about a point.

NEW YORK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, July 27.-(AP)-Bull-
ish operations were conducted on a
large scale in today's active stock
market, nearly 80 issues being push
ed to new high levels for the year.
The days sales ran well over one
and a half million shares. The de-
mand embraced a wide list by the
best gains were recorded by a Sc
lected list of motor, rail. public util-
ity mail order and amusement
shares.
Speculative expectations of a
splendid quarterly report by the
United States Steel Corporation to-
morrow, publication of additional IA
vorable railroad earnings statements
for June and rising commodity
prices were all factors in the buying
movement.
Selling pressure was renewed
against the Pan American Petrole-
um issues, which were forced to new
lows on the current movement, but
it failed to unsettle the general list
and subsequent short covering prac-
tically wiped out the early losses
in these stocks. Rumors that bad
feeling had arisen between the ex-
ecutives of the Standard Oil Com
panies of New Jersey and Indiana
as a result of the latter's purchase
of controlling interest in the Pan
American company was held in some
quarters to be responsible for the
recent selling of the former Doheny
stocks. Maryland showed independ-
ent strength by climbing to a new
peak at 46 rs.
Despite recent price cuts, several
n n cd L; ;~l
els. White Motors scared over 8
points to record top at 80; Mack
Truck crossed 204 for the first time
and General Motors attained a new
maximum figure at 81 7-S.
Individual developments account
ed for the strength of several spe-
cialties. Remington Typewriter re-
sponded to reports of record break
ing earnings by touching a new top
at 81 Ia. The sudden revival of H.
S. Mallfnson was based on reports
that the Dupont interests were ne
gotiating for a large block of stocks
in connection with plan to obtain
wider distribution of their Rayon
Products. Coca Cola shot upward
on rumors that the preferred stock
would be retired.
Among the many other industrials
to break through their previous high
figures were American Agricultural
common and preferred, American
Safety Razor, Brown Shoe, CONT
mental Can. Famous Players common
and preferred. Fisk Rubber, Inter-
national Harvester common and
preferred, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck, United Fruit, Underwood
Typewriter and Woolworth.
Public Service of New Jersey was
one of the most active public util-
tiles, climbing over 5 points to a new
high figure at 7S. Detroit Edison,
North American and Pacific Tele-
phone were also strong.
Heavy accumulation of Frisco
common, which advanced points
to new record price at 90 in an
ticipation of an early increase in
the dividend. featured the railroad
group. Other southwestern rails
moved up in sympathy, both the
Wabash issues mounting to new
high levels.
Call money held steady at 4 per-
cent. Time money and commercial
paper rates were unchanged.
A sensational jump of 135 points
in Danish kroner, which attained the
highest price in several years at
1886 cents. featured the foreign ex-
change market. Other European
rates were hrm, demand Sterling be-

tnlng because of experience. in that
particular line. Col. Webber rela ted
stories of some of the troubles en-

Colonel Weber suggested that the
members do some reading during the
winter months which are to come.

gested and which were favorites of
Abraham Lincoln were 1.-THE Bible" "

Lives" He added to the list Wells

In speaking of the law profession in
general the Colonel stated that he
believed there were just as many
lawyers who first thought Of honor
and service to country as there were
in any other profession.
