EXPERT PLEASED
BY HRYSLER 80

NEW YORK, Aug 2S.-Stock prices
were whirled upward in rapid fashion
during the early part of today's mar
ket, but fell back sharply just before
the final gong of a large volume of
weekend realizing. Closing quota
tions, however, disclosed a fair sprink
ling of net gains ranging from / to S
points. Trading was rather heavy for
a midsummer half holiday session, the
days sales aggregating 7S2,S00 shares.
Bullish operations We're stimulated
by the publication of an optimistic
lstatement by William C. Durant, prom
inent operator, just prior to his depar-
ture for Europe. The encouraging
tone of weekly trade reviews and pub
lication of additional excellent July
railroad earning statements also help
ed to create more cheerful feeling
among professional traders, despite the
prospects of a dull week before Labor
day.
United States Steel, common, again
resumed the leadership of the market,
showing an extreme gain of over q
points to 1515s, but slipping back Al
point from that figure on the late wave
of it-taking. Total sales in that
issue ran close to $4,000 shares, or
about one-tenth of the days entire
volume of business, one block of 10000
shares changing hands at 151.
Pools were again active in a number
of specialties, new peak prices for the
year or longer, being attained by Anal
gamated Leather, common and pre-
|ferred; Brunswick Terminal, Consoli-
dated, Cigar. General Asphalt, common
and preferred; owens oBttle, Reynolds
Tobacco B land White Sewing Machine
continental Baking issues were in Wig
orous demand, touching their highest
prices since admitted to trading on the
big Board" Columbia Gas, Interna-
tiona1 Telephone, National Cloak and
|Suit and Sloss Sheffield Steen also re-
corded substantial gain. The average
of 20 leading railroad issues mounted
to the highest level since 1913. Atchi-
son was again leader in that group
touching a new high record for all
that figure.
Foreign exchanges held steady in
quiet trading. Demand sterling ruled
unchanged around $4.84 11-16. French
francs were slightly firmer, around
2.8S cents, on reports that the French
governments sterilization scheme con-
templated a new parity around the s.
cent level. Changes in other continen-
tai rates were nominal.

shrines and make presents to the
priests.
After the wedding he pays for the
banquet which is absolutely neces-
sary and at which much sake is
consumed. But even then he is not
through. He must engage the finest
equippages possible and with his
bride, make formal calls on all the
guests and relatives. And at each
house he must leave a present for
every member of the family
The wedding ceremony, however,
is not so complicated. The bride
