 12 Points Registered

New York. May 1 R9-The Stock Market resumed it's march to high CT ground today with the rails again l in the forefront of the advance. EN- treme gains in the active issues ranged from l to l2 1-4 points with a few soft spots developing in the tobaccos. coppers and oils.

 Southern and southwestern rails were in brisk demand. New peak prices for the year. or longer, were registered by Missouri Pacific com mon and preferred. Chicago and AL ton common and preferred. Southern ! Railway and Reading second pre- ! ferreu, the gains ran as high as !. points. Lackawanna. Reading and Atchison sold 10 8 points higher
