New York, Ausr. 24 London wnt over higher prices today and as a re sult Wall street had a firmer opening. This induced selling but the offer ings were light. After a half hour of hesitation the market became firm with Consolidated Gas, Steel and Reading in leadership. Rubber first preferred was another strong feature. Cora products was more active than for some weeks, advancing across 2G. Harriman stocks wer quiet with only nominal business in them early in the day. The professionals in the street hesi tated to make heavy commitments un til the arrival of Harriman, when it is expected that something definite re garding prvsical condition can be learned. Steel shares were helped by a statement of Judge Gary that the trust is developing several processes to cheapen the cost of production. He says the trust is expending $l,000,0CO a month at the Gary Plant. Wheat continued quiet In Chicago with a sagging tendency. On the curb market the silver shares and porphyry copper were steady with business light. Directors of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific met today and de clared only the regular dividend on both stocks. Although this had been expected some persons pretended to be disappointed and sold stocks, with the result that there was a slight de cline following the announcements. In the last hour, however, renewed strength appeared because of the ar rival of E. H. Harriman at Quaran tine and a statement by him that his health was better. Xaval Stores.
