HEAVY MOTORS BUYENG'BOOMS STOCK MARKET Many Industrials Reach New Record Levels in Wall Street.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Thursday was 187.50, off .57. Average of twenty rails was 141.17, off .04. Average of forty bonds was 97.98, up .01. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—A wide sweep upward of more than 20 points by Vulcan and a subsequent reaction of that amount featured the stock market trading today. The entire list was buoyed up by heavy buying of General Motors which, with the New Stock and United States Steel reached new record levels. Du Pont Pressed Steel Car, Chrysler, General Electric, Nash and numerous other industrials ran up to record territory. Trading was fairly active. Atchison was among the weak features, dropping three points at one time to 197. On the other hand, General Motors ran up more than 4 points, General Electric more than 4 and Du Pont and United States Steel three. Woolworth led the chain Store group, Kelly-Springfleld the tire shares and Houston + he oils. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said: Impressive strength in high grade industrials was again the outstanding characteristic of the market. General Mctprs continued its remarkable advance into new high ground on a turnover which accounted for about one-fifth of the day’s trading. Steel common and General Electric also surpassed the previous highs for the present shares, while substantial gains were scored by Westinghouse Electric. Allis-Chal-mers, Nash and Chrysler. Irregularity dropped out from time to time, due to profit-taking and heavy selling of the oils and various specialties. But the bears in pivotal issues found no comfort. They had counted on an increase in brokerage loans in this center during the week ended Aug. 24 to help their position. Instead, the figures showed a decline in excess of &2, 000,000. This decrease strengthened confidence regarding the credit situation, which continued to display marked ease, with speculative accommodations over the week-end in abundant supply at 3% per cent. Market Irregular Transactions i?i General Motors issues continued to make up about 25 per cent of the entire trading in the late morning. Both stocks pushed to further highs, but their strength failed to stimulate the market as a whole, which displayed great irregularity. However, active demand was still in evidence for various standard issues, with General Electric and Westinghouse particularly buoyant. General American Tank Car was a feature of .the specialties, rising to anew high for the year. Its strength was based on anticipation of an increase in the $3 dividend to as4 basis. Negotiations are in progress, which may lead to a merger or trade arrangement that will increase the company’s present business. Reports were heard of buying by Mellon interests, but these were discredited in well-informed quarters.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—A lower Liverpool market In conjunction with the continuation of somewhat more favorable weather caused a decline of about 20 points in cotton this morning. Temperatures were cooler than normal, however, and private observers were of the opinion that the weather over the. week-end w<ll he mo** unfavorable than that forecasted by the Government. Prices hardened In the second hour and New Orleans was a conspicuous buyer. In the first hour of the afternoon the market registered new high prices for the year. There was a certain amount of short covering, but the trade itself took tne most of the contracts and very few hedge sales could be seen. The market is remarkable for the fact that so many contracts are owned bv interests who entered the market at very low levels and are therefore immune to such reactions as are occasionally seen. We think cotton is worth the price at which it is now selling but naturally expect to witness reactions occasionally which will enable trade to continue the policy of selling a part of their holdings on strong markets with the idea of replacement on declines. < NEW ORLEANS .
