OPTIMISM OVER BUSINESS STATE BRINGSADVANCE Freight Statistics Indicate General Trade Better Than Year Ago. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Optimism regarding the business situation, which was one of the prime influences in yesterday’s vigorous advances in the industrial list, was heightened by publication of the latest freight traffic statistics, showing that general trade was continuing to run ahead of last year’s recordbreaking volume. In the week ended Feb. 12 car loadings, totalled 968,317, an increase of 50,692 over the corresponding period last year. This evidence of the high rate of commercial and industrial activity throughout the country was ■followed by a burst of strength in leading iijj dustrial stocks at' the opening. New Peak Steel common climbed to a mew peak at 162%, up % from the previous close,, while General Motors reached new high ground on the curjait advance at 160, up 1, and Allied at 141, up 1. Irregularity in the industrial list was checked toward noon by resumption, of the advance in the rai. group, which appeared to have recovered from the unsettlement created by the Supreme Court decision in the Los Angeles & Salt Lake case and vigoi-ous gains took place in various representative issues. Wabash issues were active, the common spurting 1% to 70% and the preferred A 1 point to SI. Missouri Pacific preferrred sold at 102, up 1; Nickel Plate at 194, up %, and Canadian Pacific at ISSVi, up 2. Among Specialties General Railway Signal was strong among the industrial specialties, mounting tor ecort? levels at 10214. up 3%, Improvement was stimulated by the announcement of the receipt of several large orders for installation of automatic train control. Other important contracts are expected to be booked in the next few days. Mack Trucks was also strong, moving up fractionaly to the best levels of the year at 99% on the . announcement that the company had received orders from the Public Service Corporation for 147 buses.

Bit United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—Sentiment in the wheat pit was decidedly mixed at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today, with some traders looking for prices to decline rather sharply in the immediate future unless there is a better cash demand. Others, however, felt that wheat held in the face of the sharp break in corn and oats, and that purchases were in order on all the dips. Opening prices were *4c to lower than yesterday's close. Liverpool and Buenos Aires were stronger than due, but failed to stimulate buying here. Corn opened %c to %c lower than, the previous close. Many traders expect prices to continue downward until the market has been thoroughly liquidated of speculative holdings and prices have dropped to a level where commercial demand is revived. Further liquidatton is also expected in oats, but that market ' suffers from lack of speculative interest more than from weakness in the cash situation. Opening prices were unchanged to 44c lower than Wednesday’s close. Provisions opened lower. Chicago Grain Table ■ WHEAT— ~’ eb ' Prev. High. Low. 11 :00. dose.

U. S. STEEL, GENERAL MOTORS IN RECORD DAY Gary Issue Strikes New High and G. M. C. Gains Three Points—Rails Crowded Into Background. •

By Elmer Walzer Manager United Press Financial Service NEW YORK. Feb. 24. —Industrial stock under, the leadership of the old generals. United States Steel Common and General Motors, had their day on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday while the rail shares were in the background as far as gains were -concerned. United States Steel rose to the highest level in its history, 162, at whic* price it closed for a day’s gain of 3% points. Motors gained 3 points to li 9. Steel reviews published Wednesday were more optimistic concerning the industry in general. Other estimates placed the Steel corporation's activities around 91 per cent of capacity compared with 89 per cent a week ago. Another factor making for market strength was the reduction in the call money rate to 3?* per cent, contracted with 5 per cent at this time last year. Then too, brokers' loans had shrunk further in the report issued Monday—all of which bolstered the market following the rectification of the’ technical position in the cleanout of Monday’s selling werte after the Supreme Court
