Another million shares today was added to the long list having that huge volume of business, which Is extending now over so loner a period as to pass tho records back to the Flower boom of 1898. The million-share mark was passed soon after 2 o'clock today and at that time the bull movement was again In full swing, and tho declines, which had occurred In the morning, were given thanks by many of the traders and outside speculators who had taken advantage of tho opportunity to buy stocks at a lower range. The declines of the morning, which extended to as much as 4 points In some of the specialties like General Motors and Industrial Aloohol, wero without Influence on trading In the other Issues, and after midday speculative Interest was devoted to a great extent to the oil stocks and a number of the lower-priced Industrials., Sinclair OH led tho petroleum group, with an advance of 5 points to 44i, and International Paper, on heavy transactions In the afternoon, advanced 3 points to above 48. The bears were treated to another surprise In an advance of 2 points In American Smelting after the publication of tho unfavorable annual report, that stock moving up from 66 to 68. Utah Copper also showed strength, moving up more than 2 points to above 71. United States Steel was called on again today to absorb a large supply of stock sold by Shearson, Hammlll & Co., but after falling to 94 H quickly advanced to above 96. Baldwin Locomotive hod one of its usual displays of strength, advancing 3 points to 89. Railroad stocks were Inactive and without material change in market position. There were heavy dealings In the bond market with an Increased demand for many of the Industrial Issues. Trading In the Liberty Issues, however, demanded nearly all the attention of those active In bonds, transactions In the fourth 4s being In largo blocks, prices ranging from 93.96 to 93.82.

The new week ojcnc"d with trading In stocks In large volume, although the bulk of the bust net's transacted was In a limited num ber of groups and of specialties which have more or less attractive speculative possibilities. There cth be little question that the stock market as a whole hap slackened Its nace. The standard shares have very nearly reached a state of poise which permits of llttlo movement one way or the other. The reason for this may be found In the fact that tho market has for long been discounting what It conceived to bo the course of coming events and has gone about as far In the process as It could be expected to go. Tho tendency now Is to hold back and let things catch up when the list may forge ahead anew. This state of affairs Induces traders to turn their attention to individual Is sues which are In a position to respond to Influences local to tnem.

The steels were merely steady, al though they behaved well In tho face of an adverse annual report of the Beth lehem Steel Corporation. That report had been largely discounted. The coppers had little to Influence them one way or the other. The prin cipal items of the unfavorable smelters report were prematurely disclosed on Saturday, and accordingly werf.Jerlv ed of much of their effort. Sentiment In copper Is already bo depressed as to leave scant room for further misadven ture In that quarter. , The feature of the later trading was, nevertheless, a Rood forward swing In the coppers, started by Anaconda, ffhat company If financing a concern Jhlch report had It has struck oil in Jntona In the copper Industry Itself some Jook for in early buying movement, based on latest demands and curtailed produc tions.
