made to local refiners at 4.36 duty

Raw sugar futures today opened
4 points higher to 2 lower, with old
crop positions higher on covering and
trade buying, and late months lower
under liquidation. The firmness of
the spot market and reports of in.
creased export business in refined

old contracts were again of liberal

NEW YORK, August 1s.-Specula-

the opening of today'S stock market
with large blocks Of represe entatiye
railroad issues changing hands at
higher prices.
Prospects for favorable July earn
ings, based on the record breaking
traffic movement and the possibility
of an upward revision of freight rates,
were dominant factors in the expand
ed buying Of the carrier stocks, which
lifted several southern and south
western issues to new top prices for
the year.
Foreign exchanges opened steady,
with Belgium francs moving up 6
points TO 4.4SA and sterling holding
around 4.S55s
Realizing sales in such recent
strong spots as Mack Trucks, General
Electric, International Harvester and
Westinghouse Airbrake, which fell y
TO 2l2 points, temporarily checked
but failed to halt the upward move
ment in other sections of the list
CaA money renewed at 4 per cent.

Various stocks We're wanted seem

Trucks soaring TO 2371a after being
down to 227. Sears Roebuck jumped
TO 199 and Havana Electric to 2011s;
all these being new maximum figures
for the year. Active bidding also
arose for White Motor, Bosch Mag

NEW YORK, August 1S.-The bull.

AiIny stocks ran up sharply, with nu

"Gse losses We're more than offset by

Rails i'm Demand
. The rails continued in demand, the
majority of them at higher prices. The
tUcks which exceeded their previous
,pDs included Atlantic Coast Line, Ann
Arbor, which was especially strong
l.rle, Missouri, Kansas and Texas pre-
erred. Norfolk and Western, which was
influenced by stories regarding buying
or the account of the PENNSYLVANIA

arn. 1t was said that the laSt-named
road had bought about 375 900 shares
If Missouri, Kansas and Texas com
mon at an average of $29 a share
New York Central was very promi
nent, and new buying came into
Northern Pacific, B. & o., Lehigh Val
ley, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern and 500 Line issues.
Sears Roebuck and Montgomery.
Ward, the former at a new 1925 high,
we're in the front ranks of the ad-
vance. Both stocks attracted a re-
neWal of buying on large scale. 1t
was expected that the forthcoming
reports regarding the current busi-
ness of the mail order concerns would
make particularly good showing.
Fleischman, International Nickel,
New York Shipbuilding, White Mo-
tors, Allis Chalmers, Postum Cereal,
Texas Gulf Sulphur, Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies, international Busi-
ness Machine, California Packing and
Havana Electric all bettered their
former highs.
Havana Electric was a big feature.
Further Oil Reductions.
Further oil price reductions in GER
tain sections were attended by fresh
selling in the oil shares. Midcontinent
Petroleum dropped over a point to its
lowest of the year. Standard Oil of
California was down about the same
and the rest of the petroleum issues
lost a fraction.
The report of the Atlantic Refining
was very favorable. but had little ef-
feet. Another cut in the Hudson Mo-
tor Products had no important bear
ing upon Hudson Motor stocks
Chandler Motors fell back sharply to
new bottom figures for the year. Like
wise Cuban-American Sugar sank to
its lowest for 1925. There was some
selling in International Harvester,
Mack Trucks and Wabash, but this
was well absorbed. Mack shot for
ward again as White Motors crossed
par.
