LEADERS Register
Additional Gains
In SeIectiye Market
By T. E. AppIeeote
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 17.-Addi-
tional gains were registered by a
number of leading stocks in todays
market but the move was hesitant
as 15-year peaks were approached.
Early advances by steels, aircrafts
rails and retail stores gave the list a
selective boost which failed to at
tract general support among pivotal
motors, metals and utilities.
Dealings were fairly active. Near
the fourth hour improvement was
shaded in several case and some
isues stayed on the offside.
House action to restrict price con-
troll encouraged buying sentiment
Special issues responded to reports
OF earnings prospects, talk of stock
split ups and lifting of individual
price ceilings.
Higher most of the day were
Douglas Aircraft, Bethlehem, United
States Steel, Republic Steel, United
States Rubber, Southern Pacific
Southern Railway, Great Northern
preferred, Montgomery Ward, Para
mount, R-K-O (on dividend decla-
rations), Pure Oil, Union Carbide
Dow Chemical, General Motors
Sunray Oil and New York Central
Prominent losers at times were
Chrysler, American Telephone, Ana
conda, American Can, Pennsylvania
Railroad, Westinghouse and General
Electric.
Bonds were narrow and commodi-
ties mixed.

men on the faculty. When the
school opened in 1885, the faculty
