NEW YORK, July GA fur
Their ease in money conditions, the
unusually god earnings reports of
United States Steel and General
Motors Corporation and rumors link
ing the two organizations in fight
on NHenry Ford today served as
the motive power in the general
lists parade into higher ground.
General Motors gained more than
2 points. Other motor shares fol-
lowed this leader, Chrysler advanc-
ing to record high territory. Hud-
son and Mack Truck also were
strong.
Many Records
Many other new highs were scored
on the advance by gilt-edge issues
like General Electric, Baldwin,
United States Shetland Nash. Case
Thrashing Machine was decidedly
active, rising points to 264, equal
to its highest point.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
today said:
Professionals expecting reac-
ton of the good news in the Steel
and General Motors siX-months re-
port were disappointed by the per-
Torrance of today's market. Trad
ers wishing to take profits found
avid demand for their offerings, and
prices pushed steadily upward on
q large turnover.
Du Point Influence
Steel common forged into record
territory for the present shares, re-
f1ecting the confidence created by
the action of Du Pont interests in
tking substantial position in the
stock
General Motors responded to its
unprecedented earnings by pushing
into new high ground, while the
highest levels on record also were
attained by General Electric, Bald
win and Atchison.

NEW YORK, July 27-It is apparent
that the offerings of duty free raw sugar
are being cleaned up. thereby strengthen
to. be more of disposition to acquire the
later months, especially the end OF the old
crop. on the theory that supply and de-
mand conditions will by that time have
become sharply defined I think these late
deliveries will sell much higher.

Explosions Rock
Downtown Streets

Pedestrians in the vicinity of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Market SITS, late
Wednesday, fled to cover in nearby
buildings. Perhaps they thought the
city was experiencing a bombing raid
by enemy planes. And their fears
may have been justified.
Explosions reverberated from
building to building and two man.
hole covers went hurtling skyward.
Black SMOKE rolled upward.
The east wall of the Bankers
Trust Company cafeteria was caved
i'll, breaking dishes and furniture.
A manhole cover narrowly missed
striking a woman and child, No
body was injured.
Firemen attribute the explosions
to sewer gas, ignited by a spark from
wire apparently "shorted" in conduit
beneath the street.
