ATTAINS NEW LEVEL

NEW YORh, April gu - VII -
Stocks broke through the February
bull market peak into a 15-year
high in today's market, aided by
upturns in utility and copper min
ing shares.
The new level was attained des-
pite softness of some rails and
number of pivotal industrials which
impaired a mixed appearance to

the majority at the close.

the largest for a two-hour session

volume of 6,429, $40 shares was
more than 100000 below that of
the preceding week. Of 1894 issues
registering today, 405 advanced and
304 declined.
Coppers, which have been re-
garded by some analysts as lag
ging behind the market, resumed
the upturn that started late Thurs
day on expectation of ceiling price
increases. North Americans plan
for dispersal of its large holdings,
and some favorable earnings re-
