By United Press
NEW YORK, July ia drive
against rails in the closing hour
of the session was the feature of
trading on the New York Stock Elk
change today.
Recessions were heaviest in issues
which showed strength in the recent
advance. Erie, one Of the feature Of
the carrier group last week, slumped
point. Delaware 81 Hudson was
subject to heavy profit taking,
losing a point while Lehigh Valley
glided off full points.
G. M. G. Upswing
The redeeming feature of today's
session was the pyrotechnic display
by General Motors which scared 3
points to a new high mark at 2085s.
Manhattan electric supply was
another feature of strength in the
industrial group, moving up points
to very close to new high. General
Electric was the most active of the
group. gaining points to new high
ground.
,.Today's market witnessed further
aggressive demonstrations on the
upside. Baldwin scared to the
highest price of its history while
General Motors and General Elec-
tri reached the best levels ever at
tanned by the present shares.
Specialties Climb
Westinghouse Electric reached its
most attractive price in 20 years
and a substantial gain was scored
by rs-Roebuck, Fleishmann and
various other specialties.
However, considerable selling went
ahead in some sections of the mar
ket under cover of this strength.
1t was evident that the general
level Of prices had reached the
heights which invited active profit
taking and this factor caused ragged
movements in the general list.
Realizing sales were particularly
heavy in recent favorites of the
railroad group.
