NEW YORK, Dec. II a.N.s).--''
The motor stocks and the oils LED
the upward move in industrial stock

blocks Of stock offered hardly
enough. for q good breakfast for 81

Two things influenced the fur-s
ther rally in stock prices In the
first hour today:
First, the easing up Of the money
market, with an admission of the
bankers that conditions were not
so bad, after all.
Second, the feeling that most Ofa
the weakened holders OF stocks
had been sold out; the lambs AZ
shorn and the good stocks on
more attractive selling basis. Pools
nut their stocks on the bargain
counters, dressed their windows up
attractively and invited the. public
to come and buy.
