Motors stocks made the great est gains, their rise extending from one to two and a half points. National Lead also added two points to it« rise of the preceding session and Amalga mated a point. Fn the railway division activity in Rock Island was resumed, that stock soon advancing to 32 7-8, a point aibove its hiijfh price of yes terday. Missouri Pacific, Denver and Kio (irande, pfd., Great Northern Ore and Bethlehem Steel, all showed gains of a point Abetter. Business in the first hour was al most as large as yesterday's huge overturn and considerably broader, but standard stocks were reactionary. Tn the second hour, however, fresh buying imparted renewed strength to the entire list, Steel, Amalgamated Capper and Smelting rising to best prices of the present movement. New Haven gained 3 points. Bethlehem Steel was comparatively neglected and heavy. Jtock Island extended its gain to five points with a continuance of the extensive demand. Some of the Motor shares gained as much as five points and less prominent specialties showed trains of 2 to 3 points. Bonds were strong.
