COPpERS LEADERS
ON STOCK MARKET
Features Numerous -- Gen.
eral List Again Climbs
With Public Buying.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, May l4,-Refreshed by
a two-day intermission. the campaign
for higher prices in stocks was resumed
confidently today.
Opening prices we're practically all
| higher. and large blocks changed hands.
Efforts on the part Of professional
| traders to stem the tide were fruitlesS,
public demand being greater than Wall
Street supply.
Features were numerous. The air
plane stocks scared sensationally, II
sensation has not been exhausted In
this quarter. Radio jumped to a new
| high for all time, still selling above
General Motors. Montgomery Ward
made a new top and specialties OF all
sorts were carried along.
Copper Stocks Strength.
The most important development,
however. was the strength in the cop
per stocks and this seemed to have
good foundation. Today's domestic
price for copper metal of l43sc, an ad-
vance of Is of a cent, was the highest
in over a year. Inquiry was in good
volume both on this side and abroad.
The market was reported firm at Its
new high.
The response Of the copper stocks
was significant American Smelling g.
Refining jumped over points to 1873.
the highest price in the history OF the
company. Kennecott crossed 90, also
to a new peak for all time. These two
we're the leaders. but other representa-
tives of the industry were favorably
influenced.
Motor stocks were strong. General
Motors started in at an advance OF
over points from Fridays close and
Packard and ChrySler both made new
highs before noon. The special buying
that came into Chandler Cleveland
issues last week was again in evidence.
For a time the oils showed moderate
improvement, particularly the Standard
Oil issues There was no important
news from trade centers. but the feeling
toward the oil stocks was better. Stand
ard Oil of New York. of New Jersey and
of California we're higher and so were
Texas Corporation, Richfield OH and
Mexican Seaboard Richfield Oil went
to new high since listing as it sold
above so.
Northwestern Rails Strong.
In the railroad list the buying was
not so active, but the shares OF the
Northwestern roads did well. Great
Northern preferred sold higher than at
any time since the 81 dividend was re-
duced TO the present SIS rate. Buying
said to be well informed was noticed in
Western Maryland and a few other
merger stocks. Southern Pacific seemed
to have recovered from the disappoint-
ment shown over the delay In increas-
ing the dividend. The stock was well
supported today.
There were one or two weak spots.
Collins and Aikman opened down z
points, rejecting the passing Of the div
idend, but recovered a part of the loss
afterward. Rubber stocks were heavy.
