UPWARD TREND IN
 MARKET DEALINGS
Reflects Hope for Favorable
 Business This Year

New York. Jan. 3 tP-Cpward price tendencies characterized the 1928 opening session of the New York stock exchange today. mirror ing the widespread hopes of favora- ble business fthi; year. Stock prices. measured by the average of 70 lead ing industrial issues, already are at the highest levels in history. but operators for the rise nevertheless conducted their operations with con- iidence, anticipating an unusually heavy January reinveStment demand.
 Marking up of the call money re- newal rate to , l-2 per cent was foreshadowed by the large deficit in reserve shown in last Saturdays clearing house statement. but the higher charge was generally regard ed as temporary. Banks called be- tween s20, 1000. 900 and $25.o0O, 900 in loans. but large sums flowed here from the interior for temporary enl- ployment. An easier undertone is looked for when the January divi- dend and interest checks return to the banks.
 With the opening of the New Year automobile show on Saturday, Wall street began to pay more attention to the automobile shares. Hudson was one of the early leaders in that group, Packard and Paige Detroit attained new peak prices. Murray Body led the equipment issues. Gen. eral Motors appeared to be neglected for the time being.
 Rails, which have been sluggish for some time, showed more signs of life, The St. Paul and Cotton Belt" issues reached new high ground and a brisk demand developed for Texas & Pacific and some of the eastern coalers
 Rubbers moved forward under the leadership of Ajax. Park Utah was heavily traded in. one block of 10,- 4O0 shares changing hands at 10, the price later advancing to II l-4 American International. General American tank and General Refrac- tories all sold at their beet prices in a year or longer.
