Rise In Railroad Stocks Quietly Dominates Week
New York Feb 20 AP A sensational rally in railroad stocks pushed the general level to its highest since 1910.

Bond rates fell as rumors of rail line realignments and dividend strength fueled speculation in transportation shares. The rails index neared a record, while industrials stayed near last December highs. Money rates showed a paradox with higher bankers' acceptances despite ample funds.
