Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Thursday ■was 170.26, up 1.48. Average of twenty rails was 136.39, up 1.03. Average of forty bonds was 96.96, up .10,. Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 17.—The advance in the stock market continued on a fairly active scale in early dealings today, with General Motors the feature, rising to anew high above 205. Yellow Truck, subsidiary of General Motors, also was active and higher, and other motor shares gained ground. Rails were steady to firm, while the industrial list as a group was consistently higher, the rise even embracing the Oils. Car loadings in the week ended June 4 totaled 911,298. This was a decrease of 115,099 from the preceding week, due chiefly to the observance of Memorial day. However, the fact that the total was 33,556 under the corresponding week of last year indicated some falling off from 1926 in general business. This factor was offset as a stock Inarket influence by a further in- > crease of $11,000,000 in Federal Reserve’s regular gold holdings as of June 15. Wider Credit In addition, gold held abroad gained to $62,333,000, so that the nation’s gold stocks are now the largest on record. This widening of the credit base imparted a confident tone to early dealings on the stock exchange. St. Louis Southwestern also achieved record levels, selling at 90%, up 2%. This strength reflected the belief that the road will receive better terms in the revised Kansas City Southern consolidation plan. No Reaction Buying activities in the main body of stocks lost aggressiveness around noon and prices moved in a narrow range. However, attempts of the bear crowd to force a reaction were prevented from gaining headway by the large supply of money offered on call. Although the official rate held at 4 per cent, many borrowers arranged accommdoations over the week-end at 312 per cent in the outside market. Pathe Class “A” stock has been exchanged for new Class “A” stock and one-half share of new common. The new Class “A” stock was dealt in for the first time this morning at 43 and the new common at 12. This was equivalent to 49 for the old Class “A” stocck, which closed Thursday at. 43%. New Class “A” pays $4 annually, which was the |dividend rate on the old shares.
