Rail Issues Attract
Main Attention in
Active Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Buyers
converged on rail securities in to-
days market and vigorous bidding
lifted favorites fractions to point
or so on the largest Saturday stock
turnover since mid-September.
Overnight settlement of the wage
dispute with the operating brother
hoods and Frightening chances of
profitable reorganization for num-
ber of roads helped put both carrier
stocks and bonds out In front at the
opening. Quotations generally were
at their tops near the close. Volume
ran to around 100000 shares and
loans were equally lively.
While scattered speciality stocks
continued to exhibit strength as the
result of individual situations, lead
ing industrials and utilities gener-
ally followed narrow course. Some
cashing In appeared but this was
well absorbed In most cases. Many
customers still inclined to proceed
warily pending congressional deci-
sions and possibly important breaks
in the foreign news over the week
end.
A prop for the transportation
group was discerned in the letter OF
New York Central's President Will
hanson placing 1943 net at better
than $3.50 per common share versus
$761 in 1912.
Among stocks touching peaks foi
1884 were Delaware & Hudson
Homestake Mining, American Bosch
and R-K-O preferred. The latter

ber was the first month in 1943 in

the December drop, Mr.. Churchill
said.

Postwar Cars Won't Use
High 0ctane, Engineer Says
By the Associated Press.


DETROIT, Jan. 15.-The motor
ing public, a research engineer told
the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers yesterday, cannot use and does
not need high-octane fuel for post
war engines.
c. B. Veal of the Co-ordinatinp
Research Council, Inc, of New
York asserted that high-octane
fuels produce tremendous combus-
ton pressures and any automotive
engine which could be developed to
use them effectively would be too
expensive, too heavy and too noisy
for the American motoring public.
The council is jointly sponsored
by the sac and the American Pc
troleum Institute.
Mr.. Veal predicted that the pub
lie would be interested in lighter,
smaller engines. He said that pro-
duction OF high-octane fuels con-
sumes special chemicals at costs
prohibitive in peacetime, and
greatly reduces the yield of fuel
per barrel of crude oil.
