NEW YORK, July 17.-Bullish en-
thusiasm in the stock market was
stirred up afresh today as U. S. Steel
and General Motors, the two out
standing leaders, scared to record
high levels. other industrials swept
forward at a rapid pace, with nu-
merous gains of / to points re-
corded on a turnover of nearly a
million shares.
Confidence in the business outlook
was immeasurably strengthened by
optimistic statements from Secretary
Mellon and other financial leaders
and the reports of widespread i'm
provement in trade at time, when
recession might be normally expect
ed. The failure of the western rail-
roads to obtain an increases injsfreight
rates was ignored as a market fac

gains but leaving prices substantially
higher for the day. The closing quo
tation of 14S5s on U. s. Steel repre-
sented fractional net advance while
General Motors closed 33s points
higher at 16S1s.
Refusal of the Interstate commerce
commission to grant the western
roads a horizontal increase in freight
rates placed a damper on most of
the carrier stocks but it's influence
was countearcted by the generally
satisfactory state of the transporta-
tion industry. A few issues in this
group developed independent strength.
Pere Marquette preferred jumped 5
points to a new high and other Van
Sweringen stocks were strengthened
by the Pere Marquette's acceptance

plan. New Haven reached new top

FINANCIAL REVIEW.


NEW YORK, July 7.-Improvement
in business and agricultural condi-
tions last week provided firm
foundation for the upward movement
Of stock prices, which made good
headway despite occasional technical
setbacks, and several adverse news
developments.
Outstanding features of the week
were the attainment of new high
records by u. S. Steel and General
Motors, the two recognized leaders,
and the establishment of the railroad
price averages at the highest level
since 1911. The carrier stocks were
depressed by the failure of western
roads to obtain the long sought in
crease in freight rates, but the van
Sweringen issues continued to reflect
progress on the revised Nickel Plate
merger plan.
Aside from the recessions attribut-
ed to profit taking, exceptional weak
ness was shown by International Mer-
camille Marine preferred stock, and
to the unexpected breaking off of ne
gotiations for the sale of the White
Star Line to British interests
The most significant change in the
commodity markets was the advance
of to 81 cents bushel in wheat
futures, based on the lower Canadian
crop estimate. With prospects favor
ing a large domestic yield, the high
er prices were especially welcome to
farmers. Crop uncertainties lifted
cotton prices about $3.50 bale dur
ing the week.
French and Belgian francs both
touched record low levels last week.
but the Belgian Exchange subsequent
ly recovered in response to the es-
tablishment of a financial dictator

SOPHIE BRASLAU'S RECITAL.

When Sophie Braslau sings every
body present listens and feels the
dramatic values of the songs sung.
This popular member of the younger
group of cOntraltoS received unusual
ly sympathetic response to her efforts
in q recital given last night before a
packed house" at the Jewish Com
munity Center. 1t was the first in
a series of concerts planned by that
organization to fill a request that has
come from many who are members of
the group.
Miss Braslau obviously puts herself
completely into the meaning of her
songs. Her abilities are distinctive.
She sang a program last night we'll
suited to bring out these qualities in
particular. Just why most concert
singers insist on opening a program
with an aria no one seems to know,
except that it Is traditional. Had
Miss Braslau only sung her Bee
thoven, "Ah, Pertido." later in the
evening. after she was warmed up"
vocally and was in harmony with her
audience, it would probably have been
much more effective and she would
perhaps have gotten more flowing,
legato lines in it. The two Strauss
songs which came next, "Serenade"
and 'Liebeshymnus," suffered q little
from the same cause. BY the time
she reached Schubert's "Erl King"
however, she was well up to her usual
colorful style and she gave it bril-
liant, we'll shaded reading, with deep
resonant tones for the father. the
panic-str1cken whispering Of the child
and the voluptuous lure in the siren
voice Of the Erl King.
In the next group RiInsky-Korsa-
koff's "Song of the Bride was sub
stituted for Silberta's "Yahrzeit."
Miss Braslau explained that she felt
she could not sing the latter on ac-
count Of a recent loss in her family
that made it impossible because of
associations. Her singing Of "VO-
caliZe" did not seem inspired, but
Moussorgsky's "Dneipr' was excel
lently done and Rubinstein's "Ro-
nance" was lovely, though in this
song in particular Miss Braslau
showed that lack of perfect transi.
ton between her middle tones and
her deep chest tones.
The last group found Schindler's
arrangement of "Ah, Susette Dear"
the best of her colored songs. Then
