RAILS CLIMB TO 'NEW HIGH LEVEL ON STOCK MARKET Buoyancy Is Felt Throughout Exchange in Spite of Bearish Attacks, COPPERS SET NEW MARK Profit-Taking Creates Irregularity in Industrials — Specialties Steady, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Feb. 20.— Despite the appearance of great Irregularity in Monday’s market, rails today reached the highest average price since Nov. 9, and coppers sold higher than they have since Sept. 6. With such Important groups displaying buoyancy, it was hard to work up bearish sentiment regarding the position of the general market and Impressive buying was again in evidence at the opening today. First Hour Further profit-taking created more irregularity in industrials in the*first hour. But even while this realizing was taking place, special stocks dis played buoyancy. Stromberg ipurted to a further new high, reflecting reports of an increase of its dividend rate. Toward 11 a. m. the conflicting moves which marked the early trading were obliterated by the diversion of speculative interest to rails. Second Hour Baldwin and one or two other spec- j ulative leaders developed further reactionary tendencies in the later morning, but the general industrial list was steady and rails continued to move ahead. United States Realty gained a point and United Fruit soared to the highest price since the 100 per cent stock dividend of 1921. Fruit earned nearly $lO a share last year and estimates for 1923 run much, higher. Twenty active industrial stocks Monday average,! 102.96. off .25 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 89.80, up .51 per cent. Third Hour Stocks resumed their main upward '■- ovement around 1 p. m. despite the ought of many commission houses that a substantial setback was in Eight. With Sterling in new high ground at 47114, confidence concerning the international situation spread, furnishing a stable ground-work for renewed bullish demonstration among leading industrials.
