There was sporadic selHnr of lenthen. shippings, metals and minor specialties of several miscellaneous groups. This was more than offset by the steady recovery of motors, oils, equipments and kindred snares from their acute depression. r oremost among the mora extensive gains were General Motors, the high grade voiiwieunu, vruciDie ateei, rtaldwm and American Locomotives, American Car and American International. Gross rain, of 2 to 13 points in these issues were shaded by realizing sales at the end.
