TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE lSn
Market Continues Upward
During Most of Day in
Lively Trading.
By STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Heavy profit
taking impeded the resumption of the
upward movement in prices in tod2ys
stock market, but operators for the rise
brought forward new leaders whenever
old favorites showed signs OF faltering
After strong opening followed by a
midday wave Of selling, the market took
irregularity by early afternoon but
gains still outnumbered losses.
Lowering of the call money renewal
rate to per cent, coupled with a
further easing of time money rates,
stimulated pool activities. Bankers
regard the low call money rates a.
temporary and look for another upward
furry early next week and again around
the end of the month.
Rails became increasingly prominent
in the afternoon trading. Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis jumped 8k
points to a new high at 2l5. New Haven
advanced nearly points TO 11012, the
highest price since 1918. Atchison ex-
tended its gain to AZ points and Cana.
dian Pacific to 3A, with a number OF
others selling point or so higher.
Despite heavy profit taking in The
late dealings the market continued tc
point upward with no apparent weak
ness at any time.
Prices resumed their upward move
ment at the opening. Cartiss Aero
opened 3l2 points higher. Union Tank

hem Steel opened with q block of 5000
shares at 1862, up q, and National
Power & Light opened with block OF
4. 900 shares at S47s, up Ia.
Retention of the S per cent rediscount
rate by the New York Federal Reserve
Bank, coupled with the fact that there
was no change in the outstanding vol
ume of brokers loans last week, had
cheerful effect on speculative senti-
ment. Defeat of the debenture plan by
the House of Representatives also was
construed as bullish factor.
Trading broadened considerably. with
the public utility, food merchandising
steel, electric and aeronautical groups
all presenting several points OF strength
Rails also pointed upward, with New
York Central and Rock Island In the

ABOUT SMOKING

Women who have taken to smoking
because they believed that reaching
for a cigarette with one hand and
waving away chocolates with the 9TH
er would produce the flapper figure.
might read with interest the article
BY DR.. Wingate M. johnson in the
current issue of the Journal of the
American Medical association.
According to him there is no found
alton for the popular belief that
smoking decreases the weight of an
individual. Nor does he find scien-
tific backing for the theory that to-
bacco plays such q major part in the
history Of heart disease as has been
ascribed to it. Being a smoker him.
self. DR.. johnson approached the
matter with an unbiased mind. He
conducted his experiments and made
observations on smokers and non-
smokers alike. His conclusion was
that the Ill effects Of smoking were
chiefly local, cxerted principally on
the larynx.
He concluded that the average
highly V individual smokes to
excess because he is nervous rather
than that he is v because he
smokes to excess. In the average in
dividual, the effect of a smoke was
soothing rather than stimulating, he
found.
So don't be too hopeful when you
reach for and shun the cigarette and
the chocolate respectively. It won't
excuse you from the 18-day diet or
from counting your calories. It isn't
that simple.
