NEW YORK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in all
the Leading Stocks

New York. May 2S-(By The As
ISOLATED Press -Unlike most pre-hol-
iday sessions today'S stock market
gave an impressive demonstration of
strength on a heavy turnover. Both
the rail and industrial averages clos
ed higher on the day, with the final
quotations disclosing a long list of
net gains ranging from l to points.
Total sales were 1,569,300 shares, the
largest since April 30, when the g.
100000 market was crossed for the
last time.
The recovery took place in the face
of a marked stiffening of call money
rates due to the heavy calling of
loans in order to meet the heavy
holiday and June / demands for cur
renvy. and Notwithstanding the alb
Sence of many large operators who
went away early on extended holiday
trips. The weekly mercantile reviews
continue to emphasize the unfavor-
able effects of the unreasonable
weather but point out that bank
clearingS confirm other indica lions of
sustained large purchasing power.
Buying of the oil shares was slim
ulated by the publication of statistics
showing that gasoline exports in the
first four months of the year exceed
ed 575,000,000 gallons, of 1926 per cent
above those of the corresponding
period last year. Despite rather
heavy profit taking in this group, net
gains of point Of more were re-
corded by Associated, General AS
phalt and Standard Oil of New Jer-
ser preferred. Lago touched a new
high record on a heavy turnover.
Predictions that the recent advance
in steel bars would be extended to
other products infused new strength
into steel shares. U. S. Steel COM
mon advanced over two points to 125,
a new high on the current recovery
and Crucible closed l SIS higher at
SO rs. Equipments were helped by
the announcement of several rail-
road orders and the declaration of an
extra divident by General Railway
Signal.
Discovery that a rather thin mar
ket existed for some of the motor
shares led to active short covering
Retail merchandising stocks also de-
veloped marker strength, Woolwortf
crossing AS for a gain OF nearly 8
points.
Sharp advances also took place in
a number Of industrial specialties,
American Ice, Certainteed Products,
Continental Insurance, Foundation
Company, International Cement,
Loose Wiles Biscuit, Pullman and
Westinghouse Air Brake, all of which
showed net gains of 3 or more points.
Brown Shoe and United Cigar Stores
were among the few heavy spots.

siderable significance was attached IN
some quarters to the fact that June
delivery of wheat commanded more

that cash wheat in June would be

ton it was pointed out that mills

one anomalous condition existing
here today, however, was that cash
wheat prices failed to follow the sharp
new upturn in the May price. AS a
matter of fact, toward the end of the
day No. 2 red and No hard winter
both sold at two cents under May, the
first time they have actually been AT
discount here. A reason given for
this was that 179 carloads Of wheat ar

The Nash built Ajax hereafter will
be known as the Nash Light Six. the
Ajax Motors Company, subsidiary
OF Nash Motors, having been entirely
absorbed by the parent company.
The consolidation marks the first
anniversary of the Ajax with pro-
duction of $4,000 cars. Many pro-
cesses among the various Nash
plants being identical. the consolida-
ton Of manufacturing operations
affords increased production facil-
tiles for the Nash light six while
this interlacing of manufacturing
interests made 1t advisable for the
parent company to absorb its SUBJ
sidiary.
Announcement of the change in
name from Ajax six to Nash light
six also marks the greatest five
month period of business in the Nash
history. The upward soaring de-
mand during January, February
March, April and May drove the total
sales and production to a figure
approximately 70 per cent of the tota.
sales for the whole Of last year.

than in the Ajax six, now known as

pany. $50 far as l know there has
never been produced a car which
from the very outset gave greater
