STOCKS ADVANCE IN WALL STREET
AS BEARS LOOK FOR WEAK SPOTS
Good Buying in Important Issues Coppers in Demand
All Through Day Foreign Government
.bonds Active
J
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. ,
Broliers for the lending bear traders looked In vain today tor somo soft
Bpotn In tho market. They had become so used to having their own way since tho
beginning of last December that they were porplcxed this morning when thoy
found that lots of G000 shares gf such Issues as United Statos Steel common
could bo sold without causing a decllno of even Vt In Its lirloo.
It was a matter of comment that thero was good buying In virtually all
tho Important Issues, and although n display of strength In tho early forenoon
nns attributed to covering of board room shorts, tho fact was that the most
substantial gains wcro made on accumulation of several stocks for special
purposes.
This was tho caso especially In Utah Copper, which ioso mbro than 3 points
to U2!4. Industrial Alcohol moved up on accumulation from 120 to 130 and
General Motoru was strong In responso to tho return of tho chief owner of the
stock from tho Kouth yesterday. Uuylng by friendly Interests mado that Block
movo up from 107'4 to 113H. It could not bosald that many plungers would
tsell TNas Company shott, but that stock was one of tho strongest features,
advancing from 229 U to 234.
I'alm lU'.icli, where some of the bear plungers aro now spending their tlmo
while waiting for the market to break, sent In a numbor of buying orders which
Mrere attributed to Jesse Llvcrmorc. These ordeis helped put United Stutes
Steel up to 108, but this was tho only stock in which there was any oppor
tunity to cover moderate amounts of shorts.
All tho copper stocks were lu good demand tlnoughout tho day, and thcie
was continued buying of the leading sugar stocks. Tho only special weak fea
tute was National Enameling, which yielded from 33V4 to 30-Vi
Tho foreign Government Issues 'ero tho most nctlvo feature? In tho bond
market. Anglo-French 6s sold at 92U to D2H, and thero was trading on u fairly
largo scale In the United Kingdom notes at frac.lonal ndvancei. New Iluvcn
debenture Fs were among tho strongest foatures, advancing from 100'4 to 100.
No time was lost by the Bethlehem Steel management in distributing tho
new "II" stock. On Saturday night two-thlrdi of tho certificates of tho new
"I!" stock wcro mailed out to holders of record of tho present shares, and
when the Stock Exchange got notice of this action yesterday tho ruling was
mado that Bethlehem Steel should soil ex rights und ex new stock this morning.
The present shares ex rights will be. designated us class "A," and those ccrtlib
catcs were sold at 140. This, with tho valuo of 260 for tho new stocks
and rights, makes tho shares of old Dothlehem Steel havo u value of 391, com
pared with 37S, the last sale yesterday.
MANY CURB STOCKS ARE ACTIVE,
WITH PRICE CHANGES IRREGULAR
'There was nctlvo trading In many stocks on the Uroad Street Curb, but
that market moved without unison, somo Issues making good advances while
others sustained substantial losses. Wright-Martin Alt craft sold down to the
new low record of 10H. and Submarine dropped from 24- to 24.
Jlidvale Steel was fairly well held, ranging from 55V to G54. and frac
tional advances were made in a number of other Issues, with North American
lulp selling at 7U und 7. United Alloy sold at 43 and 43H, Lake Torpedo
ut 8 and Canadian Car and Foundry at 30.
rio oil stocks wcro generally stiong, with somo of the Standard Oil Issues
selling at new high records.
Illinois 1'lpo Una advanced to 240, 1'ialria I'lpo Line to 323. Trait-ie OH
roso from 532 to 608 and Standard OH of New York rosa from 298 to 303. Muny
of tho Independent oil stocks were also In brisk demand, with Merrltt, the most
prominent of this group, trailed in at 19H to 1931. Elk liasln sold at 8 and
8Vi, and Sinclair ranged from EG to 67. Cosden & Co. changed hands at
1GV4, and Cosden Oil at 14 to 14.
llinlng blocks weVo active, with Magma advancing from E0 to 51, nnd
United Veido moving up from 33"i to 39 Vs. Hock Island new common robo

The tone of the stock market In this city
was very much better today, and tho turn
over In stocks was the largest since the
catly part of tho month, Aihnnces In
prices were the general rulo nil through
the list, some of the gains belno' substantial,
Tho market, however, was not7 as broad ns
It was yesterday, and the bulk of the busi
ness was done In H-o Issues Lnko Superior
Corporation, which was tho most active, and
United States Steel common.
With tho opening of tho exchange there
was a continuation of tho demand for Lake
Superior which was shown yesterday, and
by '1 o'clock the prlco had been advanced
nearly 2'4 points to 21, a new high' mark
for tho year. More than 12,000 shares had
changed hands by that time. There was
no special news to account for tho actUlty
nnd strength of the stock other than that
the street has given more consideration to
the present financial condition of the com
pany. It Is realized by many that the
position of the company at the moment Is
much bctlcr than It has been for some time
Then, too, Lake Superior Is known more
or less as tho speculative stock on the
board.
