Average of twenty Industrials Monday was 187.33. up 1.35. Average of twenty rails was 140.32. up .51. Average of forty bonds was 97.98. off .04. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—After a further burst of buying with General Motors in the lead in new high ground, the stock market today turned irregular and trading quieted down. A few isolated issues continued to advance while those under moderate pressure held up well on all setbacks. The boom In General Motors Monday had carried the entire, market up until profit-taking set in in the aftemon. This buying had weakened the technical position of several pivotal issues, which acted as a deterrent to further advance today. United States Steel was quiet, but the issue advanced to 138%, up % point, where it was within % of its high record. Directors of the company will meet today and Wall Street thinks something definite regarding the successor of Judge Elbert H. Gary may be forthcoming. Rail shares were firm, as were motors, equipments and some of the oils, the latter responding to further reductions in crude production. International Paper moved up % to 63%. Coppers held steady to firm, , as did utilities. . Continued advance of Industrial leaders into new high ground carried Dow-Jones’ average for this Class of stocks to a further record * high at Monday’s close. This demonstration of strength of the current buying movement stirred up . considerable enthusiasm in speculative circles and early dealings were marked by another aggressive upswing in various representative issues. General Motors spurted a podnt to 235%, anew high for the present shares. American Can advanced fractionally to the best levels of the year at 61% and General Railway Signal 1% to 147. Additional selling came into 'feto'-ks under pressure in the prevlous session. Yellow Cab reached new low ground on decline at 31%, off %, and Pan-American B at 52%, off %. Profit-taking came Into various parts of the list, in the late morning, causing momentary hesitation, •In the forward movement. However, fresh leaders were found around noon and the advance was resumed, in the main body of stocks. Allied Chemical crme to the front in the principal industrial class, mounting to anew high on the current upswing at 155%. Union Pacific was another feature of seasoned dividend issues, advancing 1% to 190%. Advancing tendencies in shares of this grade, derived additional stimulus from the decline .of % per cent in thirty-day bankers! acceptances. Copper shares continued to reflect the revival of speculative Interest In this group, resulting from the firmer price trend of the metal and the decrease in supply above ground. New -high® on the current movement .were reached by American Smelting ar/d Kennecott. Anaconda was bought on the attractiveness of its yield at present levels, paying $3 anfmally, the stocks offer a return of 6.5 per cent. •'IV '

The firmness also extends to the raw sugar market here with indications of an Increased demand tor refined. I continue to favor the purchase of new deliveries.
