Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. UP) -
Transactions on the New York
stock exchange crossed the five
million share mark today for the
first time in more than year as
the bull movement entered its sec
ond month with rises Of l to 6
points.
The day started at a 100000
share pace but slowed down during
several periods of profit-taking. AT
one time tickers, geared 70 handle
100000 share sessions, were 10
minutes behind.
Each squirt was followed by
realizing sales, but on each decline
new buying orders we're uncovered
and the rise resumed. Near the
close, steel was sold rather heavily
on a DoW-Jones estimate, the cor
poration's backlog of untitled orders
as of July 80, to be made public
at noon today, would set a new
low record.
This estimate had a dampening
effect on the general list, and some
| irregularity was produced.
Railroad shares enjoyed an ex-
cellent market most of the day. Al
one time Union Pacific was II, up
points, and Atc1ison 40, up 859
while the remainder of the group
rose l to points. These gains
were reduced before the close.
American Telephone reached
114A for the first time on this
movement, where it was up Ga
points. Western Union stocks and
bonds made wide gains. Utilities
generally were higher although neal
the close some descended below the
previous close.
In the industrial division leader
ship was transferred to American
Can. That issue spurted from
| low of ATS to 551A where it was
up 61a points from the previous
close. 1t lost part of the gain be-
J fore the close. Allied Chemical
moved over an arc of points from
751a to 81ls, the latter price being
: up 81 points. Auburn Automobile
ranged between 77A and 80, the
latter showing a net gain of 8
points. At one time gains of 2 to 6
points were noted in United Bis
suit, Case, DUPONT and Westing-
house Electric.
Motors Active
Motor shares were given whirl
although statistics showed produc-
ton sharply lower. General Motors,
| whose July sales totaled 32,849
units, against 56,987 in June and
85,054 in July 1881, led the automo-
bile group, coming out in blocks
of 1000 to 6000 shares and rising
| to new high on the movement,
more than double its recent low.
| Coppers were up on higher prices
| for the metal Oils held well with
cut spectacular display. Foods were
higher with National Biscuit fea-
turing.
According to preliminary calcu-
lation, the Dow-Jones & Co. indus
trial average stood at GIFTS, up 1.i9
points; railroad, 268E, up 2.1O, and
utility 2730, up 082.
Sales were 5,500,000 shares
against 100000 shares last Friday.
Aggregate market value of 10 lead
ing stocks was $5,995, 1874, ,786 against
S., 800, ,O40, 1856 Saturday, an advance
of $135, ,154 400
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8. U.P) =
Most issues were active as the mar
ket turned irregular on the Los
Angeles stock exchange today.
Transamerica was the most ac-

II mean that, granting at the

Lola Carewe and Christine
Quires were slain. there are
number of people who might

with Guy Everett. He had
motive of one kind or another:
1t seems trivial, but if he had
a grudge against Lola and
Christine, he might have slain
them-sordid, if you like--but
sheer malice has served as the
motive of many murders in
our records. Then there was
the elevator boy. Not a very
dignified or likely suspect
and yet, so far as we know, he
was the last person to see
Christine Quires while she was
conscious. Eunice James seems
to have had no motive at all
yet she might have. But Mrs.
Carewe was annoyed by Chris
