ton of Claflins. Inc, one of the

DUN'S SAYS BUSINESS
is IN STRONG POSITION
No Signs of Reversal of Upward
Trend in Trade-Most of Major
Lines Are Increasingly Active.
BY the Associated Press.

by IHe ASSOClateH FTeSS.
NEW YORK, October 2.-Dun's
says: with the beginning of the
final quarter of the year, general
business maintains a strong position.
Such irregularities as exist do not de-
tract materially from the general out
look and there is no present sign of
a reversal of the upward trend. Most
of the major lines have become in
creasingly active with the progress of
the fall season and in certain divisions
of textiles the improvement in con-
ditions is especially noticeable. A
scarcity of some supplies in that field
largely reflects buyers delay in max
ing forward commitments and the dis
inclination of manufacturers to accu-
mulate stocks in advance of orders
and pressure for deliveries has
brought about higher prices in some
instances. 1t remains the exception
however, where difficulty in securing
merchandise is being experienced, and
wholesale quotations, broadly consid-
cred. are not marked by unsettling
fluctuations. Weekly bank clearings
were s8,151 .266 900.

Some Stocks Very Strong,
While Others Are Weak in
Today's Session.
BY STUART T.. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, October 2.--Today's S
two-hour session on the Stock EX-
change was characterized by a series
of lively fluctuations in which certain
stocks were very strong. while others
We're weak
The hig feature was a further up
rush in the two leaders-Genoral Mo
tors and United States Steel General
Motors shot forward 4 points to Il
new record high under the present
form T capitalization. Steel common
ran UP another point and a half.
1t was evident, however, that the
spectacular buying in these stocks
was not making much of an impress
sion in other parts of the list. On the
contrary, it looked as if it was fur
niShing a cover for a good deal of
quiet selling. A further drop in Amer
lean Smelling arrested the upward
movement in the copper and c0nSld-
cradle profit-taking went on, especial
ly in kennecott which had had the
principal rise.
Atchison opened up. then dropped
two points. No efforts We're made
10 resume the rise in Union Pacific.
In a general way interest in the
rails was not 81 keen. Norfolk and
Western sold above 10, which was
higher than ii mad been the day be-
fore, but selling kept on in Balti-
more and Ohio at figures represent
ing a loss of two points from the
high just before the dividend in
crease.
General Asphalt was one of the few
oils which did anything. 1t was up
al one time more than a point, Most
Of the other members of the group
were steady but dull Special buying
continued in International Harvester
and sharp advance in Collins and
Aikman was one rf the features in the
industrial section. The advance kept
un in L. s. Hoffman Machinery.
Toward the end the market was
rather confused by an abrupt drop
in the two favorites-General Motors
and United States Steel. But this
did not bring about any great sell
ing. The list, as a rule. held up well.
