IMPRESSIVE GAIN
IN STOCK MARKET
Trading During Week Runs
Counter to Tradition-NeW
Highs Recorded.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK. August 3l.-The tradi-
lion of Midsummer markets being dull
and irregular was broken again this
week when stock prices staged an i'm
preSSiVc advance to new high records
i'll the face of tight credit situation,
an increase in Federal Reserve brokers
loans to a new hign record and three
day holiday.
The violent rise in many of the high
priced rails, industrials and public
utilities was attributed to the unusually
favorable character of the current earn
ings statements, coupled with scarcity
in the floating supply as result OF the
huge absorption of these issues by the
large investment trusts organized IN the
past few months.
At the close of the market last night
the indices of so leading industrials, 20
leading rails and 20 leading public
utilities, compiled for the Associated
Press by the Standard Statistics Co.,
were all at record high levels. The in
dustrials gained "a points during the
week, the rails 12.4 points and the
public utilities 8.3 points.
While there has been moderate
amount of so-called public participation
in the last week, the rise has received
it's chief impetus from the buying opera
tions of large professional traders and
powerful financial corporations. who
have taken large blocks of stocks out
of the market Occasional flurries OF
selling have swept through the market
during the past week, but most Of the
offerings have been readily absorbed
and acute weak spots have been few
and far between.
Nearly all OF the leading rails have
sold at new high prices for the year
with buying influenced by the July
earnings statements. which show an
average gain Of more than 25 per cent
in net operating income over the same
month last year.
