Railroads At Last Feature Market Rally
After months of urging by bankers and brokers to shift from war stocks to railroads, leading railroad shares surged yesterday. Banks valued securities like Bethlehem Steel and Crucible Steel far below market, forcing larger margins from brokers. Despite high top prices, railroad earnings shine with record gross and improved net figures, bolstering market sentiment. Plymouth Cordage posts 18 percent net for year, with strong quick assets, while American Woolen Company moves to reincorporate in Massachusetts to align with stockholders and tax advantages.
