Many Stocks, However, Are
Forced to New High

BY STUART T.. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 4.-Trans-
actions on the Stock Exchange today
again reached record proportions and
the usual number of new high prices
were made in individual issues.
Following Mondays sensational
happenings in Hudson. the automobile
group continued in the lead, several
of them exceeding their previous tops
for the year. A number of the rails
were bid up sharply for while. also
the railway equipments. Greater New
York fractions encountered consider

plainly showed that the market was
fun of stocks. This selling resulted
in lower prices in many instances.
Wild Moves i'm Hudson.
Within few minutes after the
opening Hudson sold at 137 as against
1870 at the close Monday. Then came
a violent break followed by a still
more violent recovery, and later II
series of sharp up-and-down rushes.
General Motors, up over points at

ferred. by Paige Detroit Fisher Body
and Hupp. The last named was dealt
in on a very large scale around 80 as
against 2S on Monday.
Studebaker Freely Sold.
Studebaker was freely sold and SO
was Jordan Motors. which was down
some g points or more from the recent
high. There was active profit taking
also in Chrysler. The Mack Trucks
report was viewed with much interest
in consequence of the great rise in the
stock. 1t showed for the quarter a
surplus equal to S6S6 on the common,
and for the nine months, SlS.SS.
against Sl3.95 in the corresponding pc
riOd in 1924.
Cuba Cane Sugar preferred rallied

the fact that the profits. after interest

stood at only S736,907, against S7,961,
427 in the fiscal year 1924.
In the railway list new highs were
made early in the day by Pennsyl-
Nania, which sold at 81; Seaboard Air
Line common, Atlantic Coast Line and
Nickel Plate. But the main body of
the railway list was not responsive to
the bullish impulses elsewhere, and in
the later trading most of the rails
were inclined to sell off.
Steels Are Late Favorites.
Trading in the steel stocks over
shadowed everything else in the late
afternoon. A single block of $500
shares of United States Steel was
taken at 1870. after which it easily
passed its previous high of 1904 and
rushed ahead on a very large turn
over. Independent steels readily join
ed in, SloSs-Sheffield Youngstown

Uncle Lucky. Il never saw you until

Just then up came Little Jack Rab-

pick up the nuts" they shouted. aid
while Squirrel Nutcracker righted the
wheelbarrow, the five little rabbits
gathered up the nuts and dropped
them in.
When the wheelbarrow was once
more filled, kind Uncle Lucky invited
everybody to the candy store for a
lollypop soda. After which the old
squirrel took his load of nuts to the

President Lewis Of the miners de-

sumner may be expected to squawk
loudly II a tie-up comes. He says
the operators are spending half a

says nothing about the money the

organized efforts to make the world
believe they cannot live on their

All this the buyer Of coal is ex-
