Very Active in Today's

NEW YORK, January Corporations
for the rise were conducted with
varying success in the stock market
today. The conspicuous strength lay
among a few of the industrial lead
crs, like United States Steel common
and Baldwin Locomotive, both OF
whicn sold at new tops for the season.
while gains in other directions were
comparatively unimportant.
The main body of stocks in spite Of
the upward trend were only mod
erately higher on the day. Numerous
specialties were bid up to their high
est for the year, while the oil shares,
and a few of the independent steels
were in demand. Railway stocks also
came in for their share of the rise.
Rails More Prominent.
AS the day. went on, the rails be-
came more prominent. The thought
in peoples minds was that these
stocks were being taken up to offset
any unpleasant impression left by
recent pyrotechnics in industrial spe-
cialties Union Pacific as the old time
leader assumed its proper station
after having been held back for some
time by reason of "A large supply for
sale between f4s and Isl. Getting
through the latte- hgure, and stock
pushed ahead with fair rapidity.
Southern Pacific, going through 107,
was heavily bought on the belief that
1t will follow Atchison's example and
raise the dividend to per cent.

madam Pacific, Lehigh Valley above

Among the lower-priced rails fresh
buying came into the Eries, into ST
Louis Southwestern. into Western
Maryland, Rock Island, Kansas City
Southern and Seaboard Air Line pre-
ferred. Missouri Kansas and Texas
common crossed so again.
The street continued to talk all
sorts of fancy prices for United States
Steel, as the stock went to l24 for the
first time. Baldwin Locomotive was
pushed ahead sharply Anticipating
the conversion of Invincible OIL into
the Louisiana Oil and Refining, both
stocks were very strong in the early
trading, although later yielding to
profit-taking. The oils were doing
better than they had UP to a week
ago, but they were still accomplishing
nothing sensational. Atlantic Refin-
ing was rather an exception, running
up over 2 points.
