Market gains, later wobble as stocks rise on rails and industrials
Open market questions whether gains would hold as trading showed irregularities. Rail stocks led the upturn with Canadian Pacific and Reading advancing, lifting industrials late in the session. Highs were set for Bethlehem Steel, Crucible Steel, General Motors, Willys Overland, and Continental Can preferred, before a late selling wave trimmed gains. Reports on crop prospects and trade were favorable, and bank cash could rise by about 3 million amid steady gold imports. Bond trading remained irregular with heavier foreign selling and bond value around par.
