NEW YORK, Oct. 17-Fresh war
buying waves swept over the stock
market today and lifted favorites /
to more than 3 points.
Steels, aircrafts, rails, mail orders
and specialties scored the widest
advances.

subsequent showdown on profit
taking, but this was followed by
further activity and, near the final
hour, prices were at or near the
best. Transfers were at the rate Of
approximately 100000 shares,
largest in about three weeks.
German air raids on Scotland and
the British Scapa Flow naval base,
with coincident damage to English
war craft, brought the thought to
Wall Street that real war may be
just getting under way. Speculative
forces consequently stepped in and
boosted stocks of companies which
might benefit from foreign orders if
the European conflict proves Of
lengthy duration.
While the latest pressure of hos
tilitieS served to dim nearby peace
possibilities. brokers suggested, and ,
domestic business news was highly
encouraging, traders were quick to
cash in on the run-up because of
widely varying opinions as to just
how much purchasing would come
from belligerents even if Congress
amends the neutrality law.
Most foreign markets did better
and commodities displayed rising
tendencies. United States Govern

arisen. Now a situation has arisen
