Bv United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Stocks de-
veloped substantial rallying power
in late trading today under leader
ship of the public utility shares.
Pivotal shares were forced below
their previous closing levels in the
first hour Of trading, but soon met
strong support and recovered In
the subsequent dealings, bullish
operations were resumed in a num-
Der of special issues and groups,
carrying the main body of stocks
well above last weeks closing levels.
A few high-priced issues, like De-
troit Edison and Columbian Carbon,
developed extraordinary strength,
the former issue soaring more than
thirty points to new record high.
Columbian Carbon met a thin mar
ket, rising 20 points.
Small Gains Made
Changes in the main body of
stocks, however, were limited to
smaller figures. Gains of one to five
points each were scored by pivotal
shares like Steel, Anaconda, Ale
ghany Corporation and United Cor
poration.
Consolidated Gas, United Gas I'm
prOvement and Southern California
Edison were strong spots in the util-
ifioc hofJo tho Iotfay- icc7,ac coIIforr If
record highs. American and For
eign Power, North American and
Standard Gas were reactionary.
Anaconda was strong spot in the
late trading, running up more than
four points in response to reports
the issue soon would be placed Oh
an SO annual cash dividend basis,
against ST previously paid. Other
coppers, however, were changed
little
Bears continued to hammer
Chrysler in the late trading, forcing
it down nearly four points to new
low on reports of curtailed opera
tions. Other motors also were reac-
tionary, several selling at new 1929
lows.
Oils Are Improved
Oils were somewhat improved,
while rails, with the exception of
Allegheny Corporation, made little
Roadway on either side of the mar
ket. Standard Oil of New Jersey
showed recovering tendencies, re-
gaining a point of its recent loss.
Radio Corporation continued I'M
der heavy pressure throughout the
afternoon, breaking to new low
ground on the current movement,
but strength was maintained in the
amusement shares. Fox Film A
moved up more than five points to
new high for the year, while
Loew's and Paramount we're firm.
Improvement was made in the
afternoon despite a f1rming up in
the call loan market. Call money
rose to 10 per cent at p. m. from
the renewal rate of 8 per cent and
funds were reported as scarce.
