MARKETS MAKE UPTURN; CLOSE ON HIGH LEVELS All Groups of Stocks Display Buoyancy With Specialties Prominent. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—A1l markets eloged higher Wednesday. There was a buoyant undertone iu stocks. Sterling was hack to approximately the high level of last spring and cotton and grain both had sharp upturns, although cotton reacted toward the close. In the stock market every group displayed buoyancy and nearly everything furnished representatives that made one or more new high levels. The steel shares came back strongly with Bethlehnm “B” gaining more than a point and Steel common establishing anew high level. Oils, motors and chemicals, fertilizer stocks and the equipments were among the groups that furnished the chief examples of activity and strength. Nevertheless, there were numerous specialities that were prominent in the advance, among these being American International, American Hide and Leather preferred, American Lead, General Electric and others. There Is considerable talk about likelihood of a resumption of dividends on American Hide and Leather preferred and must of the recent buying has been based* on this gossip, which is received with considerable skepticism. Oil shares again were quite strong, as a group, but the outstanding feature of the class was furnished by the common and preferred shares of Pierce OIL Both of these issues have been sluggish, while the other petroleum shares hate been advancing, but they joined in the procession with sensational moves. The preferred made a net advance of 13(4 points. No particular news was in circulation to account fop the action of these stocks. The rails were firmer than they have been for several days. Part of the bnying was based on the erroneous quolaiton on Central Railroad of New Jersey, but, there is better feeling toward the rails as a whole on account of what is believed to be the improved prospect for the passage of the funding bill Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. WALL STREET GOSSIP BY MONITOR. Quite a flurry was created among the coal stocks bv the appearance on the tape of a quotation of 222 for the stock • f *ho Central Railroad of New Jersey on a sale o£ 200 shares. This was an advance of 28 points as the stock sold Tuesday at 104. Before it was discovered this quotation was a mistake on the part oN the transmitter on the stock exchange a vigorous rise look place in the shares of the coal roads with heavy buying of Delaware & Lackawaua which put that stock up early 6 jmints. Heading 2 points up while Lehigh Valley advanced a point. This led to a demand tor other railroad stocks many of which made substantial gains. The strange thing about the incident was that even after the mistake was discovered the advance Id most cases was well maintained. One factor contributing to the general optimism was the strength of Sterling with demand touching ¥4 for the first time since last May. Cables at that time were quoted at $4.00%. According to unofficial, but fairly authentic reports the proposed merger of Pullman Company and the Haskell and barker Company involves the necessity of ratification ly a vote of GH 2-li per cent < f the stockholdings. This is not believed to be an Insuperable obstacle. It is said *.no Haskell and Barker stockholders expect an extra cash di-ideud before the merger is consummated as the company has more than £11,000,000 working capital, a large part of which was made up of cash and liberty bonds. It is borne out that an extra cash dividend of St a share would call for only §BOO,OOO. Some light was thrown on the recent weakness in Royal Dutch by the receipt or a cable by the Equitable Trust Comper.y stating in effect that stockholders will he requested to act upon a proposal that dividends or interim dividends be "Utnbuted in full or in part, either in additional stock or iu script. Friends of Mexican Petroleum received encouragement ns a. result of a Tampico dispatch stating the company broke all records for oil exports in a single month by shipping in October 3,800,000 barrels. The recent strength of the copper shares Is partly explained by the advance iu copjier quotations by the leading selling agencies. The quotation is about % cent per pound higher. No additional business is being taken for November delivery and agents are now quoting 13% cents for December shipments and 13% cents for January. Some idea of the extent to which domestic consumption lias Increased may lie gained when attention Is called to the fact that Julv sales for domestic consumption were onlv nhout 23.UX).000 pounds while some official figures place sales for October domestic consumption at -50,000,000 pounds. Some of the buoyancy of the market may b* gained from glancing at a partial list of the stocks which made newhigh levels for the present upward movement, some of which were high levels for the year. Allied Chemicals, American Tel. and Tel. Anaconda. Car ami Foundry. American International, Baldwin. Endicoit-Johnson. Torn Products, Seneca Copper, I'nited States Steel, Texas and Pacific, C. A <.. Studebaker, American Woolen, Haskell and Barker, National Load and American Hide and Leather, preferred, were among those stocks. The most interesting features of the weekly review of the Iron Age. was contained in reference to the effect of the disarmament program on tlie steel industry. The tonnage for this purpose is placed at only a fraction of 1 per cent of th eygarly output of the country.— Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company.

STOCKS MAINTAIN IRREGULAR CLOSE Copper Issues Are Actively Traded in in Final Hour. NEW YORK, Nov. 17—The stock market closed irregular today. Baldwin Locomotive was In special supply and after its advance to 97%, yielded lo 96%. Railway Steel Springs was one of the strongest features, making a further gain and closing at anew high for Hie day.. There was active trading in Seneca Copper, which held close to its recent established high price, and other copper stocks were firmly held. Anaconda moved up % of a point to 44%. Government bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds were strong. Total sales stocks were 923,8:0 shares, bonds, §17,479,000. . (By Thompson & McKinnon.) —Nov. 17While the stoek market today was somewhat irregular, there was a sufficient amount, of Imying of various stocks to keep the market in its trend and a sufficient number of issues established new high prices to convince the doubting element of that fact. It would be unreasonable at this particular period to expect continuous advances in all groups. This is something that is more likely to occur at the culmination, rather than at inception of a rising market. We have had advances in some groups and these have been quiet for a few days, others have moved forward to the' place of prominence and presumably these in turn will quiet down and former active issues will again attract the attention of traders. This process may continue for a long time and in the end we will have a higher level all around, because worlds affairs and domestic business conditions all point toward ‘ further improvement and expansion. An important element next year will be the more favorable comparisons of corporate statements. This year, it has been almost uniformly unfavorable, because of losses 011 inventories, reduced business and high interest rate., while from now on corporate statements will disclose better business on low priced inventories and more favorable interests rates and as a result, better profits. We continue to recommend the pur chase of stocks. TWENTY STOCK AVERAGE. NEW YORK. Nov. 17—Twenty industrial stocks Wednesday averaged 77.13. tip 1.33 per cent.

However, there was not the activity in trading that there was on the market of the previous day and it was doubtfull whether or not all of the receipts would move before tue close. Light swine, as on the market of the previous day, brought [email protected], but some good mixed swine that would have brought $7.15 oil the previous day brought only $7.10. Nevertheless, sales of that kind were scarce and could not lie considered as within the general market. The bulk of the sales were made at $7. The cattle market followed the same trend that has been taken for the past week or more, being dull, and draggy, with prices barely steady to lower. Some sales of poor cattle were said to have been made at values that were fully 25 cents lower. There were but few good cattle among the 600 fresh receipts, but packers were buying cattle regardless of the poor quality. There were, comparatively speaking, no good steers ou the market. Bulls were iu fair demand at about steady prices. Calves were steady, with receipts extremely light at 300. There was a top of sll on choice veals, the top maintained on the market of the previous day, while the bulk of that grade sold at $10.50. Sheep were steady, considering the quality offered, while lambs were 50 to 75 cents lower. All of the receipts were wet anil in poor condition for marketing. The top of the market was SB, which was paid for a few ewe and wether lambs. Receipts were light, running around 300. HOGS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Grains opened stronger on the Chicago Board of Trade | today, but slumped in later deals and j showing declines at the end of the' session.

On the other- hand, the domestic situation seems to lie coming to the fore with a little more emphasis. The market is still narrow and it runs into liberal selling orders ou sharp advances, but it also runs into very liberal buying orders, seemingly placed to catch the selling done on breaks. The trade seems to be impressed by tlie small primary movement, present and to come, and it is the incentive for 5111111* of the buying on the two or three setbacks. We had some rains in the winter wheat country, but unfortunately not in the suffering part of the Southwest territory. Clearances were liberal today and we think caused a little confidence. The talk is that there lias been large export sales lately. On the whole, the market Impresses 11s with the idea that steadiness to a possible improvement is more than likely unless the ivornout bearish matters of recent date become more impressive agaiiisthan seems likely now. Canadian farmers are supposed to own from to fifteen million bushels of the twenty-five million bushels of wheat at Fort William and Port Arthur. Corn and oats—The eoru market continues to show an exceedingly good demand by Eastern shippers and exporters with a view to getting stocks East before the close of navigation. Cash corn sold 1 cent higher today. Oats were * (4c higher, with the basis firm and the visible supply now started to decrease.

This seems to us logical under prevailing conditions. We may have a state of facts later on that may warraiA an important advance, but we have no such condition at the present time. Trade conditions, while much better than they have been, could stand further improvement, in England. Supplies, while not overabundant, probat I.v will be ample to meet the existing train remand. Therefore, all things considered, the conditions and the price are fairly well balanced, an dtbe market is in a position to respond to future developments, but as we anticipate improving trade conditions iu the world, we wonliDratber operate on the long side by buyiitg on the reactionary days.

NEW YORK CITY NOW IS CAPITAL OF ‘DOPE’ RING Metropolis Clearing House for Country, Says Official. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Notwithstanding the huge quantities of drugs—cocaine, morphine, heroin and opiumseized within the last six months, New York City still remains the clearing house of the rest of the country, according to' Dr. Carleton Simon, special deputy police commissioner. Dr. Simon declared that while smuggling of drugs through border towns and other ports has diminished, it continues into the port of New York from European countries, chiefly Germany. A “deck” of heroin—one “shot” —sells on the street from $1.50 to $3, depending upon the locality. The deputy commissioner said drug peddlers average $5 per day from each addict. “We have deprived the smugglers of the income from 2,700 drug victims, which means $12,500 daily,” said Dr. Simon. “But there are still 20.000 drug addicts at large In this city. They represent to the dealers an income of SIOO,OOO daily. These do not include the “legitimate drug users,” addicts who are being treated for the drug habit by their physicians. The narcotic squad does not interfere with doctors or their patients.” Recently a young man of prominent, family v.as among those arrested raid upon a “dope joint.” He had a quantity of heroin upon him and protested that he obtained it from his physician. This was found to be the truth, and he was turned over to his family doctor. "But our object is not to get the drug victims. We want to break up the smuggling ring that is mulcting these poor unfortunates for all they will pay. The Federal authorities are working with us, and onr agents are in Europe watching activities of drug sellers there. We have a complete r#**>rd of every drug user arrested here-wlth Bertillon photographs and a criminal record. Similar records for over 300 cities throughout the country are in our possession, and we received the same data regularly from police of Canada and France.” The ingenuity of smugglers and drug sellers is illustrated by exhibits in the Deputy Commissioner's office. A book with the title "The Annual Report of the Board of Health” had a large hole in the center, two inches square, anil in this hole were a dozen decks of heroin. Other books were similarly cut. An embossed Christmas card, beautifully garnished with flowers and a woman’s slipper; proved to be pure camouflage, as a quantity of heroin was found inside the miniature slipper. A pair of shoes, also on exhibition, were used by a workhouse inmate who sold drugs to other inmates from the shoe linings.
