BULL|SH OUTBURST
CARRIES STOCKS UP.
Tremendous Buying Orders
Flood Market at Opening.
Gains Widespread.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Supplied
with seemingly unlimited resources and
boundless assurance. spectators for the
rise carried the prices of their favorites
higher and higher in tumultuous ses-
sion on the Stock Exchange today.
The buying did not take in all classes
of stocks. Only few of the rails
were included and a good many in
dustrials prominent in the earlier trad
ing sold off toward the end, but the
leaders were not allowed to give way
The turnover Appropriated $500 600
shares. A large part of this was con-
centrated in few stocks, Radio, Gem
eral Motors, Bethlehem Steel, certain
copper and certain oil stocks. The
demonstration in Radio was easily the
feature. The old stock at 534 was up
33 points on the day and more than
80 points above where it closed on Mon
day last. The new stock. near 108. was
up ~ points, and almost Ia points
above where 1t left off on the first
day of the week.
Money held at per cent all day.
The opening was wild During the
first half hour 1,22l 100 shares changed
hands. or at the rate of more than
100000 shares for full five-hour
day. The ticker fell 10 minutes behind,
and the pace was so rapid that even
hardened traders expressed doubt as to
how long it could last.
Industrials Lead Rise.
Large gains were made by the lead
ing industrials. The rails had few
friends. The number Of shares and the
extent of the advance on the initial
transactions in few selected stocks

Industrials Lead Rise.

The features in the first hour were
Radio. Bethlehem Steel and General
Motors. Radio, old and new, both went
to new highs, the former selling at 512
and the latter above 103. The question
was asked, not specifically but inter-
estedly, what the pool was going to do
with Radio now that it had reached
its objective?
Optimistic estimates of Bethlehem
Steel earnings coming from well in
formed quarters were responsible for
the Jump in that stock. Not only was
the opening price a new high for the
year, but the best since war time. Gen.
eral Motors was one of the largest
gamers at the start, which was some
thing of surprise for stock that has
been relatively stable in recent sessions.
Along in the second hour kennecott
assumed the leadership, selling above
l0l for the first time, equivalent to
more than 200 for the old stock. Other
copper shares were higher, 1ncludlng
Anaconda, Andes, Cerro de Pasco, Chile
and Greene Cananea. The rise in the
coppers had the justification of another
increase in the price OF the metal. The
export quotation today was 2OA cents
a pound, up half cent and predictions
were made of further advance Satur- |
day or next week.

the opinion money rates would not re-
main at their present high level. That
being the case, the argument ran. there
was no obstacle to a fresh advance in
stocks. The brokers' loans showing was
held to be proof that the Federal Re-
serve was not in control OF the situ- !
alton. This was the deduction from the
increase in the supply of funds from

GtOvCSeoV
Wv YE have pretty wen accomplished all
NAI those inventive dreams Of our great
wv gTandfathers. They thought Of
steam carriages which would replace
the horse and we have them to an extent which
they could not have imagined They thought
Of balloons which could be directed and Of n.y.
ing with wings, and both Of these are realities
They thought Of being able to talk at o dis
tance and we have our TRANSATLANTIC telephone
service and our radio.
These and many more things too numerous
10 mention have been brought about by the In
genuity of man. Are we to believe, then, that
we are 70 stop at this point2 Some would have
us think so, but the past should have taught
US that what man desires he shah have. II
SO years ago we had prohpesied the future
from mans hopes and ambitions Of that time
we should have underestimated our advance
tremendously. The same would have been true
even 10 years ago. No one could clearly have
foreseen today's broadcasting. Television ap-
peared to be but laboratory trick Of no pos
sible practical use.
WITH this as q background let us predict
mans future from his present-day desires.
1t is clear that we have accomplished all the
fundamental desires of man, such, for example,
as flying, travelling under water, talking and
seeing at q distance and so on. IF we were to
visit the earth hundred years hence, we
should probably not get the surprises that our
great-grandfathers would have in store for
them today. Now we do things that were
wholly unhoped for then: in the future we shall
but do them in new and improved ways.
Let rs take the case of transportation for
example. Our modern subways are q far cry
from the old one-cart train ruled over by the
blue-coated, brass-buttoned admiral" with the
heavy gold watch chain. We are now safer
with q one-ninute headway than under his
protection with { haif-hour headway. Yet we
do not travel fast enough or with suficient
safety. We have turned to the airplane for
speed. But as for safety, no airplane can be
made which cannot fall. Speed with positive
safety probably will come with railways oper-
ated as pneumatic tubes. These win frst be
developed as mail tubes between nearby cities
There is no track to jump, and collision Is al
ways prevented by an air cushion.
We shall have for use many new materials
produced by chemists. We have long wanted
lighter, stronger and rustless steels, for ex-
ample. It has been said that IL our automo-
biles were built as strongly 40 years ago as
they are today that they would have been so
heavy their engines would not have pulled
them. We have certainly made progress, but
not enough.
II We could plate steel with some cheap.
