Special Dispatch to The Star,
NEW YORK. July 31.--Develop-
ments on the New York Stock Elk
change, have overshadowed every
thing else that has happened in the
financial situation during the past
week. Leading industrial stocks of
the type of United States Steel
common and General Motors, repre-
sentative of two of the strongest in
dustrial corporations of the country.
have been bid up to the highest
prices in their history under the
present form of capitalization.
The Improvement, however. has
been brought about through the
activities of powerful banking inter-
ests, while the outside public has
taken little part in the proceedings,
That the buying has been for the
account of these with large capital
resources was evidenced. by the
manner in which the heavy selling
toward the end of the week was
absorbed
The upward movement has been
far from general. many parts of the
list failing to participate i'm the re-
covery. II has been a market in
which special stocks have been
brought to the front and bid up
SDeCIdCuIaTlN lOrs particular reasons,
while the main body has failed to
respond to these operations. Wheth-
err or not 1t is to develop into real
bull market with all groups partici-
pating remains to be seen.
General Motors above 1874 has re-
corded a gain of almost 80 points
within a week. The rise in United
States Steel within the same brief
space has extended to more than 10
points. Earnings in each instance
for the first six months of operations
exceeded expectations of the most
sanguine, and the upward movement
appears to have been based upon
these disclosures.
Outside Developments Favorable.
Developments In the outside in
dustrial situation have been favor
able. Operations at leading indus
trial centers have been expanding at
a season of the year when ordinarily
curtailment develops. According to
Dun's Review, ingot production of
the United States Steel Corporation
has risen from SO per cent to 81 per
cent, and the volume Of new business
continues to he we'll sustained during
the Midsummer period.
Earnings of the various industrial
corporations. so far reported for the
first half year have been exceptions
