Railroad Stocks Lead
AS Market AVERAGE
Hits New Peak
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Finapcial lUriter

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-It was
another bull market for rail stocks
today although steels, aviations and
selected industrials absorbed their
share of the buying.
Prices hardened after a relatively
steady opening and. at the best,
gains Of fractions to more than two
points were widely distributed. The
Associated Press 60-stock average
touched its highest level since April,
1887 Extreme advances were trim
med in most cases near the close
and scattered declines appeared
Dealings speeded up now and then
but slow-doWns were frequent.
Turnover for the full proceedings
expanded to around 100000 shares.
Talk of strike settlements and
wage comprises in the automotive
field inspired the reinstatement Of
accounts Notwithstanding cloudiness
of labor skies generally. Earnings,
dividends. imitation thinking and be-
lief peacetime prosperity was an
ultimate surefie bet again served to
restrict liquidation.
At eight-year peaks were U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Studebaker, Amer
lean Airlines, Eastern Air Lines and
American Smelling. Prominent gain
ers included Santa Fe, N. Y. Gen.
trail, Southern Pacific, Union Pa
cific. MKT preferred, Montgomery
Ward and Sears Roebuck.
On the doWnside most of the time
were Du Pont, Allied Chemical,
Standard Oil N JD, Chrysler.
Deere, American Telephone and In
ternational Nickel.
Railway bonds were popular.
