STOCK MARKET STRENGTH ICONTI MV KI) BROM PAGE ONE) I hese optimistic views were reflected at the outset of the market. Et ie was the first sale to come over the tickers, 2500 shares at 89, unchanged. From there on came the better tone. Missouri Pacific for 500 shares was quoted at 84*4, up Paramount Famaoue was quoted at 58, up M: The tape was alow getting Into action because of slowness In executing orders but ft soon speeded up. Columbia Graphqphone opened 10,000 shares at 36%, up 1%; Westinghouse Electric 10,000 at 188, up 3; General Motors 10,000 at 55, up 1%: Anaconda 6,000 at 103, up 1; City Stores 9,000 at 10%, off 2%; Chrysler 5,000 at 46 unchanged; U. S. Steel 3,000 at 207, up 1; Standard Brands 15,000 at 33%, up 3%; Alleghany Corporation 5,000 at 36%, up %. Canada Dry rose six points to 75; General Electric 2 points to 310; A. M. Byers 19 points to 130; United Aircraft nearly 4 points to 76; Royal Dutch 10% to 55%; American Telephone & Telegraph a point to 270. Royal Dutch led the oils with Standard of New Jersey. The latter opened 7.000 shares at 72, up 3%; a gain in Its market valuation of more than $72,000,000. During the early trading business was quiet. Some issues met profit taking. Radio eased off as did Montgomery Ward. Steel slipped off but came back again. The trend was still uncertain. Over in the bond crowd many were selling for profit. Irregularity came into the railroad issues, many of which were lower. Convertibles moved up with their stock#. Oils Were barely steady. Curb stocks fluctuated Irregularly in a narrow range. Cotton prices sagged. Chicago stocks were active and mixed, featured by rallies in Insult issues. o WATER GIVES UP SHIP’S VICTIMS | ICOMTIMt’EP FHOW PAGE <IMB> Twenty-seven loaded freight cars were clamped along the four lines of rails on the Milwaukee when the big ferry headed into the storm Tuesday afternoon. The cars probably were thrown from their moorings by the tempest. Once free, the cars proved battering rams, tearing the ship to pieces as it lunged and reeled under the shock of the racing waves. If enough were loosened"- at once, they capsized the ferry as if it had been a shingle. No craft, however sturdy, could have withstood the sudden rush of hundreds of tons to one side, shippers declared. It was a heroic ending to Capt. Robert McKay's 35, yeans of outwitting the perils of the great lakes, begun when he was 17. ‘‘The ferries always run; damn the weather,” was his creed. The captain assured his superiors at Milwaukee that he could take the ferry safely to Ludington, Mich., on the other side of the lake. • But when he looked out over the storm-tossed expanse he saw what lay ahead of him and his crew of between 52 and 57 men. ‘‘Guess we won’t make it this time,” he remarked, half grave, half , bantering. The bodies of Capt. McKay and Albert R. Shaden, purser, were recovered later in the afternoon by coast guardsmen near Kenosha. A fifth, unidentified, was found by the ore cafrier Elbert H. Gary and sent to Milwaukee. The Milwaukee was an all steel ship. '338 feet long with a 56-foOt beam. The value was $1,000,000. United States steamboat inspectors launched an investigation of the disaster at Milwaukee this morning. Response to the emergency was general along the lake shore yesterday and every craft that could weath-

er the ebbing storm put out to aid in the search for bodies. Coast guardsmen toiled until dark,. Volunteer pilots took to the air in numbers and one plane, chartered by the Racine Times, flew 300 miles up and down the Wisconsin coast. On the bottom of its wings was the query ‘‘Did yon find the Milwaukee?'’ At every floating object the plane dipped until the wheels touched the breakers. Coast guardsmen who found the bodies of Capt. McKay hnd Purser Shaden said other bodies wore floating nearby but roughness of the water made their recovery impossible before nightfall. A galley door, two mattresses and a broken chair were picked up In the area where floating wreckage was thickest. Another Ship Found Racine, Wis., Oct. 25.—<U.R>—The same storm which sent the Grand Trunk ferry Milwaukee to an unlocated grave tn Lake Michigan cast up the Roeabelle. House of David yacht, after eight years. At the foot of Dodge street, not far from the heart of downtown Racine, the hulk of the Inng lost yacht was discovered by E. W. Knutson, lighthouse tender. Thus far the rotting hulk had revealed no clue as to the fate of its crew and passengers. Who they were was never determined and no bodies ever were found. It was believed the Rosabeile went down at approximately the same gpot as did the Milwaukee. o PANTAGES WILL KNOW FATE SOON (COXTINI’ED FROM PAGE ONE) “we brought in doctors.
