BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-The ma
iority of stock exchange issues
spurted today on short covering
and new buying induced by the
small increase in brokerage loans
when the Street had been expect
ing a rise variously estimated at
5000, COZ, 900.
Canadian Pacific led tAe rail
group, wit ha rise of more than
4 points. Houston ran above Z
points and Dupont more than S.
Colorado Fuel advanced 31a points
while a long string of industrials
and rails made gains ranging from
point to 2 points. Among the
conspicuous leaders in the rail
group were Atchison, B. g. O., New
Haven, and Erie, the latter mount
ing to new high ground above Ct.
Fuel Advances
Mercantile issues forged ahead, as
did motors and some of the oils.
Losses were scattered, including a
decline of nearly points in Bald
win and drop Of IA in G. & O.,
both due to profit taking.
Shorts were given severe punish
ment in today's session.
Instead of the increase OF $780,
100000 to $200,0000O0 predicted In
brokerage loans this week as a re-
suit of the new General Motors
shares, the statement given out aft
er Thursdays close set forth a gain
of less than $22,000,000.
Rush to Cover
This development caught the bear
crowd in a badly over extended po-
sition. A rush to cover took place
at the opening. Prices in pivotal
speculative issues had sweeping adj
yances. While technical setback
took place in the morning, the rally
gained fresh momentum in the att
ernoon, carrying the leaders to
prices which. represented substantial
recoveries from the recent lows.
At the same time, active demand
came into seasoned investment
shares like Atchison, New York
Central, B. C o., American Tel.
and Tel, Consolidated Gas, Union
Carbide and American Radiator.
Buying of these issues was the start
of the reinvestment movement in
cident to the huge dividend and
interest disbursements at the end OF
the month. These payments were
in the neighborhood of $4,000 $1,000
and the flow Of funds into high
Y lie stocks is expected to broaden
IN the early days of October.
