General Motors, U. S. Stee
Rule Strong Advancing
Point Each.

By United Press
NEW YORK, March 8.-MoSt
changes we're toward high levels on
the stock market in early dealings
today. Trading, however, was on a
light scale, Influenced somewhat by
the prospect of sharp increase in
brokerage loans to be announced
after the close today.
General Motors ruled strong and
active. The stock opened at 1907
up u, declined to 149$4 and then
scared to a new record high at
151A2.
Hudson Motors also was active,
squirting rs to 1915. Other mo-
tors ruled strong. Oil issues were
in demand. General Asphalt scared
34s to 80%, while Houston was up
four points at 1877 Atlantic refining
whose earnings for 1927 amounted
to $1.83 against $11.24 in 1926, adj
vanced g. Marland rose nearly a
point to SO.
Steel Spurts
U. S. Steel spurted more than a
point; other steels we're in demand.
Youngstown held steady in face Of a
break up in merger negotiations Of
that company with Inland Steel.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
wall Street was greatly i'm
pressed by the statement of Gov
ernor Young of the Federal Reserve
Board that in his opinion the next
change in the rediScount rates may
see a reduction in the eastern re-
serve banks without corresponding
reduction i'm the interior. This
phase of the. testimony before the
Senate inquiry on brokerage loans
was important as it had been a fore
gone conclusion that nothing would
develop that would indicate that
the current level of borrowings was
a menace to the credit structure"
Trading Falls Of
Trading fell off in volume in the
late morning and price movements
settled down into narrow range.
This reflected the disposition in
speculative quarters to await the
weekly loan statement to be out of
the way.
However, group operations con-
tinued in individual stocks with
Hudson Motor Coach reaching an
other new high on large buying Or
ders from Detroit. A demOnstra-
ton was made against the shorts in
American Linseed which ran up 33s
to 1875.
Oils displayed an improved tone
with Sinclair and Marland in good
demand. The better action on the
part of the oil group reflected the
conservative program of State au-
thorities and oil producers in Cali
fornia designed to save 100,000,000
cubic feet of natural gas daily and
to shut in around 10000 barrels of
crude oil daily.
