As List Hits New Highs
INFW xUKJv, March 25—UP!_Bu'
ers ctowded the stock market to
day and the list, on average hit
best levels in nearly three years
with breadth and activity pro
nounced.
The advance of Wednesday was
extended at the start, low-priced
issues providing most of the speed
Pivotals and blue chips then turn!
ed lively. There were brief slow
downs to absorb profit cashing
sprint and the majority of favor!
ites closeo around the day’s tops
with numerous gains running to
3 or more points. Rails joined
the upturn in which steels, rub
bers, amusements, aircrafts! mail
orders, coppers, air transports and
specialties were “prominent.
The move again was credited
mainly to confidence in the long
term war outlook inflation hedg
ing, investment demand, congres
sional trends and generally encour
aging earnings prospects.
The Associated Press composite
of 60 stocks rose .9 of a poit
to 47.3, a peak since May 11, 1940.
It was tue sharpest day’s jump
since December 30, 1941. The rail
average touched its highest mark
since October, 1939. It was the
broadest market since last De
cember 30, 1941. There were 308
ing traded. Of these 718 wer up
and 363 down or unchanged. Trans
fers totalled 2,121,410 shares
agl linst .,16,080 the day before
and were the largest since De
cember 30, 941. T.iere were 308
new highs for 1943 or longer.
Conspicuous on the push were
U. S. Steel Bethlehem. Chrysler,
General Motors, Santa Fe, South
ern Pacific, Southern Railway,
Chesapeake & Ohio, Goodyear, U.
S. Rubber, Goodrich, Sears Roe
buck, Montgomery Ward, Douglas
Aircraft, International Harvester,

tures,- Twentieth Century - Fox,
American Smelting, Anaconda,
Home-stake Mining, Du Pont, East
man Kodak, Westlnghouse, Stand
ard Oil of Ind., and American Air
lines.
Steels and coppers were aided
by opinion's these were ‘behind
the market.” Mounting moving
picture earnings propped this
group. Rails reflected heavy debt
repayments by roads with big
revenues.
The curb duplicated the big
board in the forward tilt. Favored
here were Aluminum of America,
Aluminum Ltd., Gulf Oil, Humble
Oil, Pennsylvania Water & Power,
Pepperell, Singer Mfg., and Sul
livan Machinery. The aggregate
was 417,670 shares compared with
267,920 Wednesday.

Strong Opposition To Farm
Bills By OP A Head
Held Responsible
CHICAGO, March 25.—(*—Grain
prices tumbled today when strong
opposition to farm bills pending in
Congress was expressed by Price
Administrator Prentiss Brown in
a letter to Congressional leaders.
Early gains were replaced by los
ses ranging to 2 cents in rye.
The market opened slightly high
r, reflecting overnight reaction to
House passage of the Steagall
Bankhead bill to prevent deduc
tion of benefit payments in set
ting price ceilings, but buying de
mand lagged and moderate sell
ing soon reversed the trend. Later
stop-loss orders were uncovered
and the finish was near the day’s
