STOCK PRICES
CLIMB STH DAY
Profit Taking Fails to
Check Growth Of
Bull Market

NEW YORK, June 27.-(UP)-
Stock prices advanced aggressive
ly today for the eight consecutive
session after profit-taking had
checked the rise at the outset of
trading.
Orders poured in from all parts
of the country and Europe, and
tickers fell as much as four min
utes behind the market.
Gains ranging to more than
two points displaced early losses
of fractions to a point in leaders.
Aviation and utility shares were
most in demand. Wright Aero rose
four points to SO in odd-lot trans
actions. Douglas Aircraft led the
lower-priced aviation shares with
a gain of almost two points.
Copyright, 1888, by United Press
NEW YORK, June q. (UP)-Ap-
proximately $6,5OO,O00,O00 were
added to the market valuation of
stocks on the New York stock ex-
change last week in a spirited bull
movement generated by expecta-
tiOns OF business recovery this
fall.
Gains ranged from So to $2l
share. Prices rose in every session
during the week after small ad-
vance the previous Saturday.
II was the first time since 1896
that the market had advanced for
seven consecutive sessions.
The trading community was
amazed both by the extent of the
gains and by the activity OF the
market. While most exper
thought the rise had been too rap
id, there were but few who did not
anticipate appreciably higher pric-
es in the next 80 days.
In boiling markets that threw
tickers behind on many occasions
and choked understaffed broker
age houses with orders from all
parts OF the country and major
European nations, total OF TO-
ll2,14O shares were turned over.
The total was equal to about 10
per cent Of the volume for the
year to last Monday, and compar-
ed with only 1,792,630 shares in
the preceding week when trading
fell off to about a 17-year low.
Heavy realizing by traders who
had reaped handsome profits and
short selling by professionals who
anticipated a corrective movement
were over-ridden by bull psy-
chology that spread the breadth
of the nation. ... - o."
On the basis of a United Press
estimate, stocks on the New YORK
exchange at the close Saturday
had an aggregate market value or
around $4,000 100000, or more
than $1,000 100000 in excess OF
the two-year low recorded on
March 81, this year, when the
1898 bear market lows were es-
tablished. On the recovery highs in
March. 1887, stocks had a valua-
ton of around $63, 00O,0OO,OO0. o..
The industrial average closed at
1874, up 1871 points on the week
That level was within striking dis
lance of the years high of 134.35
reached January IL and some SO
per cent over the years low OF
9S.95 reached March 81. The rail
average at 25.45 was up 5.72; and
utility at 20.5S, up 2.O4.

POLl'S

Today's Loew's Poli presents "City Girl" the story of fearless prose- cutor's war on rackets-and the girl who tried to fight back.
 The two actors who head the cast, give sensational filled performances.
 One is Phyllis Brooks who com- parat lively short time ago tried a second introduction to Hollywood and now, in City Girl', plays a star-making role. Practically at the start of her reign, she still has her eyes toward the top.
 Sharing the honors with her is Ricardo Cortez who has played 25O parts. From silent films to talkies, Ric has topped casts in more pic- lures than most fans see in five years!
 And now, he gives another bril- liant performance in "City Girl"
 In the supporting cast are Doug las Fowley, now a well known movie menace, Chick Chandler and Robert Wilcox.
 The note of authenticity which pervades the scenes and story of City Girl" a 20th Century Fox pro- duction, is due in great measure to the experience of one of the authors.
 Robin Harris, who with Frances Hyland and Lester Ziffren wrote the story of a girl who chose luxury before love-and lost, was for sev- eral years a featured reporter on the staff of New York's biggest daily. Harris many assignments gave him first hand knowledge of the type of life depicted in the story of fear less prosecutors war on rackets . |. and the girl who tried to fight back.
 Included in this program is sec- ond big hit entitled, "Exiled to Shanghai" thrill-packed action drama featuring Wallace Ford, Dean Jagger and June Travis.
 Attend Loew's Poli every Thurs day night and join in the fun of "Uproar Hour, the sensational new game in which the audience actual ly participates.
 Little Ceasar" lives again! Sat- urday Edward G. Robinson is back again to thrill you anew with his vivid portrayal of "The Last Gang ster." Rose Strander, lovely VieneSse discovery, makes her Amer ican screen debut in this film. James Stewart appears in one of the lead ing roles, also.

The latter rule has been made by the natives rather than the whites.
