ADVANCES IN PRICE
Steel. Crossing 1865, Again Is
Leader-Coppers Also
Score Gains.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. october 24.-Stocks
continued to climb in this mornings
market. Apparently there was no limit
to the enthusiasm of the parties COM
mitted to the advance. The turnover
was larger, the bull tips" were more
numerous and the market was broader.
United States Steel was again the
outstanding feature. The price crossed
1866 in the first hour. thereby establish
ing a record high for all time. The
argument was that steel was behind
the market" and that If other indus
trials were entitled to sell at prevailing
quotations steel ought to go higher
Whether the logic was sound or not, 1t
had its effect.
Besides the weekly reviews of the
iron and steel industries were optimist-
ic. The Iron Age spoke of the strength
of the metal market as emphasized by
continued advance In primary materi-
ais" The stress was on the favorable
price situation, as well as the continued
demand.
Other steel stocks shared in the
improvement showed by the leader.
Bethlehem and Vanadium we're actively
bought, the first because of estimates
Of earnings running as high as SIS to 81
per share and the second because of its
development along chemical lines.
The copper stocks were as con-
spicuous as the steel. Kennecott shot
forward to the highest for all time
above 49, Anaconda pushed ahead into
new high ground since the war. Chile
sold fractionally above anything of
record in the history of the stock
Green Cananea gained to points
and others in the group were In brisk
demand
Some of the stories heard In the street
with regard to the copper and metal
stocks we're almost fantastic. One re-
port had ID that Kennecott was to take
over American Smelling & Refining,
which in turn was to acquire General
Gable. Kennecott. 1t was said. would
increase the. dividend to 81 from the
present Sc basis.
More interest was taken in the tobacco
stocks. More tobacco, both the COM
mon and the class B." moved up in
response to reports of increased earnings
and to possible split-up next year
Consolidated Cigar ran up sharply.
Amusement stocks were represented by
Paramount-Famous, one block of
10000 shares changing hands at so, up
nearly a point. In the oil group At
lantic Refining was still the star. Not
withstanding the violent advance the
stock made the day before, it added
9 points more today.
In the railroad list st. Louis-South-
western ran up points The Missouri
Pacific sold higher on the belief that a
dividend was to be declared on the
preferred next week.
Money renewed at g. per cent and
time funds were shade easier.

It also was suggested that the intorina-
