NEW YORK. Aug. • — A burst
of buying orders caused sensa-
tional price advances on the New
York Stock Exchange today.
Tickers fell eight minutes be-
hind the pace of trading as big
: blocks of' shares were bought up
; on orders flashing in from all
parts of the country. •
| The biggest week of the year in
i the stock market was ending on a
high note of enthusiasm and
prices were from one to 12 points

The list was up 1 to 3 at the
outset, and gathered momentum
with the best prices made near
the close.
It was the largest Saturday of
the year.”
Shorts covered feverishly. Some
of these bears included the big-
gest operators in the street. Bulls
of 1928-29 resumed operations,
running up first profits since the
crash wiped them out three years
ago.
Incentive to buying stocks was
I provided in part by another sharp
rise in wheat which made new
highs on the movement, and by a

Issues were In demand.
Rails Advance —
Sentiment was helped by the
weekly car loadings report for the
week ended July 30, showing
510,687 cars—up 9557 cars from
the preceding week.
Railroad shares subsequently
swung into action. They rose 1 to

buying’ became hectic. Traders
took stocks at any prices offered
just as they sold for anything
available1 when the decline was in
progress after the break in the
bull market of 1929.
Steel Common Soars.
Union Pacific soared nearly 10
points; Atchison 7, and South-
ern Pacific 5, while gains of 2
to 3 points were recorded in
New York Central, New Haven
and Chesapeake & Ohio.
Steel common soared more
than 8 points to a new high on
the movement at 42’4. At that
level it was exactly 100 per cent
above its low for the year.
Steel preferred rose nearly 13
points to 871.
100 Per Cent Increase.
J. I. Case was carried to 50,
up 6%, while International Har-
vester reached 29%, up 1%.
American Can rose nearly 4
points; General Electric more
than 2 and Westinghouse Elec-
tric more than 3.
It was estimated' that more
than 300 stocks on the Big
Board had recorded increases. In

Fairtrace has adopted a new
working schedule'to escape the

home at 7:30 a. m. for breakfast
and returns.
“I can get more work done be-
