NEW YORK, March 22.-Stocks
of the United States Steel and
General Motors corporations. the
twin giants OF American industry,
led the procession in the forward
movement of prices at the beginning
of trading today. General Motors
pushed through to a new high at
ISL, and United States Steel at
151% was within a point or the
January high-water mark. Sinclair
featured the oils, with a new rise
to around q, and Hupp was the
favorite of the low-priced motor
group, with 2-point jump to 62.
That powerful financial interests
are still at work on the constructive
side of the market was evident
from the huge turnover or 5000 ana
10 ,O0O.share blocks of the high
priced stocks at peak prices Tor the
year, and in many cases, the h1ghesI
prices on record. Transactions or
this magnitude are considerably ne-
yond the reach of the clerks ana
elevator boys who are said to have
made such killings" in the mar.
ket.
Nearly a billion dollars has been
added to the market value Of the
outstanding shares of General Mo-
tors by the 50-point rise in the
market price of the stock since
March 3, the day on which the
abrupt reversal IN the market took

Night and Day
The magnitude of the market

ately 45,000,0O shares Of stock have
