The day opened with unexpected strength in markets yesterday and by afternoon trading slowed to dull activity yet the high prices of the day were reached. In New York about 30,000 shares of short stock were thought to have covered as Missouri Pacific declared a quarterly dividend of 1 percent and closed up notably.

Frost toured western lines including Atchison, Atlantic & Pacific, and California Southern, reporting strong rail improvements and San Diego growth despite tighter credit conditions.
