BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, July 2.-The upward
movement which set in on the Stock
Exchange Friday. continued through
out the last session of the week. 1t
had been expected that the volume OF
business would have fallen off decld-
edly as a. result of the departure from
the financial district after the close
last night of many operators who had
decided to extend the holiday.
Interest centered in industrial and
railway favorites which have been

Gently. General Electric went ior-
ward to a new high under the present
share capitalization under the same
sort OF buying noticeable in the mar
ket for the past week. Reports were
current of a favorable first haf-year
report despite the unfavorabie rumors
heard in the early part of the PERIOD.
American Can was another IN TINS
category which continued to feel the
effect of concentrated buying.
Directors Of the United States

preferred dividend July I and it was
generally agreed that the regular s.
quarterly distribution would be voted.
Chicago 81 Eastern Illinois pre-
ferred again featured the railway
shares, running up points to a new
high for the year on rumors OF an
impending change of control. Ger
tainly there was nothing i'll the earn

fer the pronounced strength, Chicago

which went along sympathetically.
The high grade dividend payers fiuc-
tuated irregularly and the promi-
nent merger roads were practically
neglected.
General Motors and L. s. Steel ever
higher. with the former point above
the previous closing quotation most
of the session. Short covering came
into Mack Trucks and Chrysler was
favored in the buying. The market
for the most part gave the appear
ance of being a highly professional
affair and one in which the outside
public was displaying little interest.

PARIS, July 2.-Thanks to the
Dawes plan, French freight trains will
have airbrakes instead of the present
primitive handbrakes. The change
will take five years and will cost $64,-

The necessity for the change has
long been recognized. Plans had been
drawn up, but owing to lack of funds
they seemed doomed to slumber indefi-
nitely in their pigeonholes until Andre
Tardieu, minister of public works,
had the idea of using Frances rights
under the Dawes plan. BY the pro-
gram drawn up by M. Tardieu, large

by German industry under the head
