NiBW YORK. May 8.~^le New
York Bvenlng Son financial review
today says:
Although the entire list In today's
stock market had its moments of
buoyancy when prices advanced one
to three points.in brisk trading, in
terest was largely rfiifted from the
industrial to the railway shares. The
latter displayed unwonted animation
under the leadership of Reading,
which advanced to a new high record
for the year above 87. As tor the in
dustrials there was a marked disposi
tion to yield to profit taking from
time to time.
The first reaction came at the
end of the first hour when steel re
ceded a point and the second shortly
after mid-day still realising sales
were not as yet in suffldeat volume to
cause a steady decline. U. S. Steel
again touched a new top figure for
the year at 103%. Hie motor and
aJoobol shares, as well as a few of
the specialties gave a good account of
themselves. Sugars and coppers
were soft.
