; Railroads
Ask Approval
OF Merger
BY the Associated Press

The Norfolk g. Western,
Nickel Plate G. Wabash Rail
roads urged today that the IN
terstate Commerce Commission
approve their proposal to
merge.
In brief filed with the ICC,
the railroads asked the COM
mission to reject a suggestion
that the Erie Lackawanna
Railroad be included in the
merger.
The suggestion came from
the Port of New York Author
ity and the State of New York,
with a request that approval
of the merger be held up until
steps we're taken to include the
Erie-LackaWanna.
The three applying railroads
told the ICC that expansion of
the N&W into a 14-State- and
Canadian system covering 7.400
miles eventually would benefit
the Erie-Lackawanna through
increased traffic and revenues
for that railroad.

Stocks Mount
Major Rally;
Trading Scars

NEW YORK, July 10 (AP).-
Wall Street celebrated easier
stock market credit today with
one of the biggest rallies since
the stock plunge this year.
Trading was heavy early this
afternoon.
This came fairly close to the
scope of the big rebound of
Friday, June Is, but was not
in the same league with the
tremendous recovery of May 20
which followed black Mon
day."
Exuberant buying followed
overnight news that the Fed
eral Reserve Board had cut
stock margin requirements to
so per cent from 70 per cent,
making it possible to buy $500
worth of stock for a $50 down
payment.
Key stocks rose 2 or more
points along a broad front and
the volatile growth" issues ran
up several points in some cases.
The ticker tape was 80 min
uteS behind transactions, its
worst delay since June 5 when
it fell behind "a minutes at
most.
Large blocks were traded and
many stocks were delayed in
opening due to the difficulty of
matching orders in view of the
preponderance on the buy side.
Brokers explained the heavier
trading and much sharper ad-
vance in prices this time COM
pared with two years ago on
the basis of the much larger
short interest" total now than
then. These are the total num-
Der Of shares borrowed to eff
feet short sales made with the
hope of buying stock at lower
prices in the future to repay the
borrowed stock.
Wall Streeters said that this
short squeeze" was an i'm
portant factor in the scope of
the rally.
After the initial buying wave
prices settled below their best.
Delayed almost two hours in
opening, International Business
Machines rose ga to 35912 on
$4,000 shares, then clipped
about 2 points from the rise.
The Dow Jones industrial
average at noon was up 1901
at 593.83 after showing a gain
of 14.14 at 594.96 at IL am.
Prices advanced in heavy
trading on the American Stock
Exchange.
Corporate bonds were mixed
and Government bonds slightly
bwer in moderate dealings.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 10 tAP).-A good
volume OF mill buynig firmed wheat
futures prices on the Board Of Trade
today but other grains and soybeans
were steady to weak under light to
moderate selling pressure.
The mill demand was described as
probably the best in several weeks
and perhaps reflected belief the mar
ket had reached its harvest time low.
Nearly all contracts moved up major
fractions to a cent.
Liquidation elsewhere was rather
heavy at times and was believed to be
a general move toward evening up
positions in advance OF the GuVer =
ment's monthly crop report to be
issued after the close of trading. =,
