AUGUST MARKET GAIN LARGEST
ON RECORD SINCE JUNE 1881

vanced to $1408. and the market worth
was then S16,896, 100000. Inasmuch as
this month the average price of rails
has risen points and that of indus
trials 10 points, it is fair to assume
that when the final figures are avail
able 1t will be found that during Au-
gust the appreciation in listed common
stocks was in excess of the $4,000, ,000,-
600 reported for the month of July.
Preferred stocks listed on the New
York Exchange on July / averaged
$25.38 a share and on August l $31.18.
One OF the most striking features of
the August market was the recovery
in senior stocks. many of which had
sold at the equivalent of the quotations
for common stocks at the end of last
year. The percentage of advance in
industrial and public utility preferred
stocks this month has been sensational.
1t is as great in unlisted as in listed
preferreds and frequently amounts to
several hundred per cent. Consequently.
the appreciation in the market value
OF this group in August will greatly ex-
coed that of July.
Change in Sentiment.
In the past week there has been a
slowing up in the movement in Junior
bonds. In the three weeks preceding,
however, many Of the largest gains of
the year were made. The month ends
with this group at an average much
above that on July 81, and an estimated
appreciation of So 900, 900 900 in the ac-
tive listed and unlisted bond group in
August.
There is little doubt that the change

the improved position of all holders OF
securities and that this development
has had more to do with restoring
confidence than all of the Government
credit proposals combined. 1t is con-
crete fact whose significance is readily
gra5ped by the man in the street,
even if he may not have participated
In 1t or benefited from it. *

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 5-The av-
erage price advance in the stock mar
ket in August Is the largest since June,
1881. Together with the average gain
In July, it amounts to about 80 points,
which cancels the average loss of the
months of April, May and June. This
represents the greatest amount of sus-
tanned improvement in nearly three
years and is generally regarded as one
Of the most striking episodes In finan-
cial history.
Translated into figures representing
the market appreciation in securities,
the results are amazing. On a con-
servative basis it is estimated that the
worth today of listed stocks and bonds
is S15,O00,000 greater than it was at
the end of June. To this should be
added another large sum representing
the rise in unlisted securities, which
has been relatively as great as in those
quoted on the New York Stock Ex-
change, including, as it does, large
numbers of active public utility stocks
and bonds and bank shares. In the
latter group there has been an ap-
probation Of fully s1,000,000, 900, OF
which the greater part took place dur
ing the month of August.
Other Groups Benefited.
Another group that has been bene-
fitted by the change in sentiment is
that of the fire insurance and surety
companies, which were at historically
low levels last Spring. Again, there
has been an entire change In the mar
ket for those real estate stocks anc
bonds that are publicly traded in. Ir
cotton alone the market value ha.
risen s500.000,000. Many other com.
modities have this month moved VI
| to figures that change the entire aspect

them. For instance, the price OF leae
has advanced $13 ton during August
On July the average price of com.

Wall Street Briefs

NEW YORK, September 5.-Business
was suspended in Wall Street today In
observance Of Labor day. All the Sc
curity and commodity exchanges will
resume tomorrow.
The advance in commodity prices has
been uneven, and Wall Street has been
disposed to feel disappointed over the
small proportions of the recovery in
copper. Reaching 6 cents pound last
week, however, the red metal has pulled
itself well above its record low, and it
Is figured that any substantial upturn
in business will stimulate demand, and
doubtless lead to further recovery in the
price.
The public utilities may still claim
the distinction of having fewer dividend
eliminations and reductions than any
other group. Most of those which had
to resort to suspension Of payments were
comparatively new corporate units. In
the group of well-estabhshed companies
earnings have not been heavily i'm
paired in spite of the severity of the
depression, according to the latest earn
ings statements.
