Popularity Of Rails
Provides Steam for
| New Stock Upturn
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 22.-Demand
for railroad issues provided the
steam for another rally in the stock
market today.
A long list of carrier stocks ad-
vanced fractions to well over a
point. Gains elsewhere we're mainly
in fractions.
Trading activity stepped up after
slow start as demand became
more insistent.
Wall Street quarters reported
that slightly more optimistic ap-
praisal of Russian-U. S. relations,
plus q flood Of favorable corporates
news, stimulated demand.
Higher prices were paid for Nickel
Plate. Illinois Central, Katy pre-
ferred, Chesapeake & Ohio, South
ern Railway, Southern Pacific,
Great Western preferred, Richfield
Oil. Atlantic Refining, Ohio Oil,
Ward Baking, st. Regis Paper. Re-
public Steel, General Motors. Willys
Overland, Firestone Tire. Curtiss-
Wright, International Nickel and
International Silver.
Ahead in the curb were Creole
Petroleum, Murray Ohio Manufac-
turing and Pittsburgh Metallurgical
United States Radiator advanced on
news of a 100 per cent stock divi-
dend.
President Truman's statement at
press conference to the affect
that he considered chances of world
peace as good in fact excellent, did
much to calm those quarters in
Wall Street which have been jit-
terry over foreign developments.
