Now York. Aug E.
A strong Incentive for operations on the long side of the Stock mar
ket was furnished beforo the beslnnlnp of business today, with the an
nouncement of the decrco of the United States Supreme Court arrang
ing for the oluntnry dissolution of tho International Harvester Com
pany of New Jersey. Thoc who are fully Informed about the affairs
and tho assets of the corporation nt once Interpreted this action as being
extremely favorable for the shareholders of the corporation and buying
bj them put the price of tho stock up nearly 5 points to above 1'JD.
Tor a time during the day tho market continued In Us character of
midsummer dullness, with listless trading In the standard Issues, but
with pronounced activity and strength In many of the closely held special
ties. American Sumatra Tobacco was forced up G points to 129, and Gen
eral Motors made a gain of 4 points to 150, with many other specialties
foiced up with a good deal of vigor.
The steel industrials made no response to the Harvester dissolution
until long after midday Then United States Steel common, which had
been ranging all thiough the morning around 10S, lclleeted accumulation
orders and lnd a quick advance to 110.
lialdvvin which was heavy until late In the afternoon, moved up
moio than 2 points, crossing 92, and other steel Industrials made propor
tiomte gains.
Tho market in the late trading showed more animation than It has
done for manj weeks, nnd the scarcity of stocks, which had been noted
so often lecently, became moie pronounced as the market began to
show a broadening tendency.
Vlitually no nctlvitv was shown In the bond market outside of tho
I.ibertv issues and interest In tho trading In those bonds was concentrated
to a great extent In the 3s, which were In demand from financial In
terests nnd again sold at 100. Tho second -Is were traded In at 33 58 to
93 50, and the 4'4s at 95 2S to 93 20.
