RAIL STOCKS HIT
HIGH RECORD

NEW YORK, Oct. .1.-Strong
leadership in the upward movement
was furnished in the trading today
by the railroad stocks, number
of the most active of which rose

first period. Canadian Pacific,
which has been hailed as the next
stock to enter the 200 class. jumped
nearly five points to 1913 at the
opening, and absorbed heavy profit.
taking around that price.
Speculative buying of the rail-
road shares was based on the grow
ing prospect of successful termi-
nation of the various consolidation
projects and an increase in busl-
ness in the latter part of the year
rather than on past performances.
The August net income of the
first 20 roads to report was IL per
cent. Below that of the same
period last year, while July re-
turns were 26 per cent smaller. .
New York Central, Baltimore 4
Ohio, Great Northern and other
well-known transportation stocks
forged ahead to the highest prices
of the year, while the speculative
rails which have not yet been
placed" in the consultations were
also in demand at a higher price
range.
General Motors and United States
Steel led a brilliant forward move
ment Of the Industrial shares near

Favorable weekend surveys OF
the business situation stimulated
