New York, Aug. 29 P(-The rail- road shares again furnished impress sive leadership in today's stock market, with a dozen issues risin 2 l to 10 points to new high records. Buying in the general list was of q rather selective character, with the food, public utility and chemical shares showing several points of strength while the steels, motors and coppers made little headway.
 Selling in advance Of the holiday and the weekly federal reserve statement was fairly well absorbed, although one stock dropped 13 points. Another and q sprinkling of miscellaneous shares 1 to g points. Pool operations furnished the chief stimulus for the advance although there appeared to be q strong investment demand for the railroad shares in response 10 the excellent character of the current earnings statements.
 There was no change in credit conditions. Call money renewed again at 9 per cent and there ap- peared to be a comfortable supply available at that figure. Banking opinion is divided as to whether the heavy holiday and month-end de mands will send the rate higher or whether sufficient funds will be at tracted here for employment over the three day holiday 10 bring about recession in the rate.

 American Superpower was again under accumulation, moving up a couple of points. and uncomfortable rumors Had it that a new alignment with Electric Bond and Share inter- ests was in the making. Bond and Share was also fairly strong. Stand ard Power and Light was firm, maintaining its sharp gain of yes terday. Duke Power again made q wide gain, and electric shareholders moved several points.
 The group of rights to "big board" stocks which have been actively dealt in of late continued to grow with the addition to the list of American Tobacco and General Asphalt rights.
 Oils were firm, led by Gulf, which sold up about points.
 In the mines, both Newmont and Normanda made moderate gains in response to rumors of an impending IA of a cent increase in copper prices.
