Now York. Nov. 7.—Railroad stocks traded in on the New York Stock exchange approximated more than $100,000,000 in quoted values to day in one of the most remarkable buying demonstrations In recent years. Forty-five carrier stocks soared to new high prices for the year, some of them to the highest prices in history, on net gainst that ranged from small fractions to 4 points. Buying orders poured into the mar ket from all sections of the country In such great volume that -total sales of nil stocks exceeded 2,300,000 shares, the first “two million shares" day since April 17, 1022, and prob ably the most active since the wide open break of June, 1916, when one day's sales ran above three million shares. Although the market closed promptly at 3, it was not until 15 minutes later that the stock ticker bad recorded the last sale. There was a total of 541 stocks traded in during the day, as compared with the high record of 517 established on V December 28, 1923. * No Adverse laws. While the recent high monthly earnings statements and record breaking carloading statistics have been favorites in the accumulation of railroad shares, most market ob servers agreed that the almost un precedented demand for those stocks now was due to the growing belief that he apparent loss of the balance of power by the congressional radical element precluded the probability of any adverse regulation in the next few years. This would permit roads to carry nut consolidation and development programs, in addition to considering dividend increases or resumptions, which seem warranted by new earn ings. Industrial shares, ^which have apparently discounted most good news in sight, grew irregular or further profit taking in the early trading, hut swung upward later un der the leadership, of U. S. Steel com mon, which touched 112, its highest price since 1919. Capitalization of Surplus. Wall street has heard rumors that several of the large Industrial cor porations are contemplating the capitalization of surplus, in order to avert threatened taxation of the same and this is believed to have I heen a factor in the buying of shares in which such action is like ly.
