GAINS GENERAL ON IRREGULAR STOCK MARKET Specialties Lead in Advances Under Impulse of Pool Activity. RAILS SHOW FIRMNESS

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. Dy MONITOR. NEW YORK, Nor. 18.—Considerable Irregularity developed In stocks and while the list showed a large proportion of advances, they were _la numerous cases fractional and profit-taking in other portions of the market caused moderate reaction. Quite a number of advances were established in the case of specialties under the impulse of pool activity and the rise in a few issues continued unchecked. Pullman ran up to 114t4 and American Telephone and Telegraph crossed 115 before the rise was checked. Among the specialties that showed strength were New York Dock, National Cloak and Suit preferred, Worthington Pump and International Cement. Another advance in copper quotations stimulated further buying of the copper shares. Sugar stocks were steady, and in most cases higher, although the raw sugar market was nomiually unchanged. Among the oils General Asphalt stood out prominently, with a gain of more than a point In the face of profit-taking throughout the rest of this group. The rails did not appear to be adversely affected by the’ announcement of a 10 per cent cut in grain sales with no compensation offset in the way cf wage reductions for several months. The Pere Marquette Issues were among the strongest of the medium and low priced shrres, but good gains were established by Pittsburgh and West Virginia, Rock Island and St. Taul. The real incident of the day was furnished by the advance in Chesapeake & Ohio on the announcement of the resumption of dividends by Hocking Valley. The action of the House 1n voting for the maximum surtax rate of 50 per cent can hardly fail to prove a disagreeable surprise to the Street in view of the President s letter requesting the adoption of 40 per cent as a compromise with the Senate —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

WALL STREET GOSSIP BY MONITOR. Late in the afternoon announcement was made that the directors of the United States Industrial Alcohol Company had passed the dividend on the common stock. The last declaration was at the rate of Si annually. A brief statement was issued saying the directors cf the company, after careful consideration, had decided to omit the declaration of the dividend on the common stocks; that the board v.as of the opinion it was more in the interest of the stockholders to conserve the resources of the company. Another late Item of news of a disconcerting character was contained in the Washington announcement that the House had voted in favor of the 50 per cent stir tax. The Street is greatly interested in this question, and there was considerable discussion of President Harding's letter requesting the House to adopt a 40 per ceut rate, thus effecting a compromise between the 32 per cent favored by the nouse and the 50 per cent indorsed by the Senate. The most st-iking incident of the day was contained in the announcement of resumption in the dividends by the Hocking Valley Railroad. This caused an immediate jump of more than three points in Chesapeake & Ohio, which owns $8,595,900 of the $11,000,000 Hocking Valley stock. \ Advances in the price of copper metal follow* 1 almost as fast as increased quo- — lotions for crude oil. For th? present no quotations are being made for deliveries beyond January, as it is believed that increased demand will warrant higher prices. The first railroad report on October operations is furnished by Kansas City Southern. The statement shows an increase both in gross and net ore.- September, but a decline compared with October last year. Wall Street was surprised by the early action of the association of railway executives in announcing reduced rates on agricultural products. It is estimated this will result in a cut in railroad revenue of about $55,000,000 a year, and this loss in revenue cannot be offset by a further wage reduction for at least six months. In this respect the reaction upon the fortunes of the railroads may be construed as unfavorable. Railroad stocks, however, acted well In the face of the news aud most of the active issues were slightly higher or unchanged. Some light was thrown- on the occasion of the strength in the Pierce Oil shares by a Boston dispatch which stated that the company this week bad received funds through advances made by the Chase National Bank in sufficient quantities to relieve its cash stringency. There is another story, however, to the effect that new interests have come into Pierce Oil, and that its position will be improved immensely by these additions. The Central Railroad of New Jersey has sold 169,988 shares of Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coni stock to a syndicate composed of minority stockholders of the coal company and interests Identified with Burns Brothers. The consideration is said to be about $32,500,000 with payments in installments from Dec. 6, 1921, to Oct. 1, 1922. The first payment is said to aggregate about $10.000,000. — Convright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. LEGAL NOTICES. BIDS FOR £OO BLANKETS.

STEEL STOCKS SHOW STRENGTH

Fractional Recessions Sustained by Several Issues.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The stock market closed strong today, although there were some fractional recessions. Crucible Steel continued in demand, selling np to 156%, and United States Steel rose from 82 to 82%. Reading gained 2 points at 72%. Transcontinental made a gain of nearly 2 points to 10%. Government bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds strong. Total sales stocks were 839,300 shares; bonds.. $17,412,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Nov. 18—

The chairman of the Steel Corporation delivered a speech today ’ hich is subject to conflicting interpretation, but he confirms the fact that within the last ninety days steel productions has doubled. His views as to the necessity for further readjustment of prices represents the concensus of American opinion, but it is well to remember that ideal conditions never did and probably never will prevail. There are always some things a little out of harmony, bnt tljis does not prevent business progress. We are going ahead just the same and readjustments will come by degrees. In line with the improvement of the steei industry we find improvement in copper and the price is creeping upward slowly at present but the trend is unmistakable. In Congress they have apparently settled the income tax in line with the Senate views, and, while reductions are not up to what was expected, the bill, as a whole, is better than it was last year and is to that extent favorable. There was a good deal of selling, som, of it by longs to accept profits and some of it by the professional eletueiu, but no serious impression was made on values and at the same time some stocks moved forward to new high levels. Activity moves from one group to another anil this is a process which is not unusual, and, as a matter of fact may continue for a long time. An important point to keep in mind is that at prices prevailing today, for most of our securities it would be impossible to replace the properties represented. TWENTY STOCK AVERAGE. NEW YORK, Nov.

Declines of 25 to 35 cents were suffered, with light swine selling at $6.85@7, heavies at $6.(i5®C.75 and mixed and mediums at $0.75. l’igs generally brought $7, although there were a few sales at $7.25. Roughs brought $0.25 and down and stags [email protected]. The bulk of the sales for the day's trade were made at $0.75. Receipts locally ran large at around 12,000, while Chicago receipts were large and prices lower. Other of the principal swine markets of the country sustained lower values, all of which en-, flueiiced the trend of the local market. Local packers, as they usually do, established the market, but shippers with Eastern house connections bought more swine than did local concerns. Although trade was fairly active, It was much doubted whether or not the receipts for the day woudl all be moved. There was a little better tone to trade in cattle than there was on the market of the previous day, with a somewhat better grade of cattle offered for sale. However, there was but little really good cattle offered. Prices ruled generally steady, and, with the packers buying, receipts were moving fairly well at a late hour in the forenoon. Bulls were iu fair demand at steady prices. Due to a break in Eastern marts, veal prices here were $1 lower generally, with a top of $lO on choice veals. Receipts approximated 400 and practically all of the receipts had been sold at an early hour. There were but few sheep and lambs on the market and the quality was extremely poor. Prices were considered about steady. HOGS.

GRAIN PRICES CLOSE HIGHER

Locust Plague in Argentina One of Chief Mart Factors.

CHICAGO, Nov. IS. —Grain prices went higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Reports of a locust plague in Argentina and information of increased export activity were the contributing factors. Provisions were higher. December wheat opened at $1.06, off %c, and closed up 2%c. May wheat opened unchanged at $1.08% and closed 3c higher. December corn opened up %c at 4S%c, and dosed up %c. May corn opened at 53%c, u)> %c, and closed up lc. December oats opened up %c at 32%c, and was %c higher at the close. May oats opened at 37%c, unchanged, and closed up %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Nov. 18— Wheat—lnspiration in wheat today was gathered from reports of unfavorable conditions in the southern hemisphere, namely locusts in Santa Fe, Argentina, and heat in Australia. The market received help, also from light receipts and very small offerings from the country. Cash wheat for milling purposes has reflected the strength in deferred delivery. There have been showers in parts of the Southwest but the drought is not yet broken. Exporters are showing more Interest in rye, but wheat is comparatively neglected, only small am ants having been repotted so far. English markets, both spot and futures, have rul'd lower and Italy is said to have bought two cargoes from Australia because it was relatively cheaper than United States. Inasmuch as the southern hemisphere holds the balance of power in the matter of worlds supplies, it follows that values will be strongly affected by any further unfavorable news from that quarter. Corn and Oats—New export bids in the corn market are reported considerably out of line, but New Orleans is still overbidding Chicago in the nearby territory. There is an increasing belief that the various bearish items in both corn and oats have been fully discounted. You will note that prices of both these gr ns have shown comparative strength for quite a time. With this idea booming general there is more interest; deployed and prices respond readily. It Is again announced that the War Finance Corporation will give financial assistance to the farmer to permit withholding of his reserves from commercial markets until such time as prices become satisfactory. Provisions —Hog prices were steadier than expected. This served to prevent any pressure upon products, but did not improve the demand. A fair trade is reported in cash lard. Hogs are expected to come to market rather freely.

In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Novi 18.—The cotton market opened 3 to 7 points lower today with only a light trade. Selling was by spot houses, Liverpool and local interests, based mainly on heaviness in Liverpool.

IS.—The cotton market was again comparatively narrow today. Fluctuations such as we have had yesterday and today are regarded* as normal, and fairly reflected the prevailing condition, that is, considering supply and demand and the price. The consumption of cotton In this country, as well as the distribution of cotton goods, is showing up fairly we]l, but England is still sending rather pessimistic reports. That condition, however, should only be temporary, for there can be no abundance of cottou goods anywhere at this time. We can see no reason for any violent price change, which depends entirely on the action of Southern holders. Should thev maintain a reasonably firm attitude Vit’h regard to their remaining supplies, a reasonable improvement here would follow and we are inclined to the view that it is safer to operate on the long side by buying on reaction*.

YONKERS MA TRON MEETS MISTRESS OF WHITE HOUSE But It Was Unexpected—She Got Into Wrong Build- ■ ing.

YONKERS, N. Y., Nov. IS— How the “first lady of the land” came to her rescue when she intruded upon the monthlj luncheon party of Senators’ wives during a visit to Washington was told here bj Mrs. Harold S. Robinson member of the executive council cf the Girl Scouts in this city. Mrs. Robinson said the incident through which she met Mrs. Harding was characteristic of the mistress of the White House. Mrs. Robinson was in the capital to attend the Kn-Klux IClan hearings in the House office building. She left the building at noon for lunch and through error entered the Senate office building upon her return. Seeing a group of fashionably-dressed women at lunch she started to leave, bnt was Intercepted by a guard, who told her to fttiirn and look around, as Mrs. Harding was among the women present. “I started to walk about when a woman approached and asked me if I was the wife of a Senator. You can imagine my feelings when, upon receiving my negative reply, she drew herself up and in a penetrating voice said: ‘Then you are committing an act of great impertinence in being here!” While X wa> attempting to explain and apologize X was touched on the arm and a voice asked if I was a stranger in the city, I said I was and was fetartled to hear my interrogator say: "Why, then, I would like to extend to you a welcome to Washington. I am Mrs. Harding.’ “We talked a few minutes and when X was leaving Mrs. Haruing invited me to have tea with her the following Friday. I accepted and Mrs. Harding was as gracious as she had been at the time of the unfortunate occurrence. We discussed the Girl Scout movement, in which Mrs. Harding is intensely interested. “The luncheon party into which I stumbled by mistake is n monthly affair given by the wives of Senators, and as Mrs. Thomas 11. Marshal), wife of the former Vice President, was in Washington that day, Mrs. Ilarding was present.

SHANK MEETS BUSINESS MEN IN CONFERENCE

Most of Mayor-Elects Proposals for City Improvements Given O. K. TRAFFIC BODY NAMED

The improvement program which Samuel Lewis Shank, mayor-elect, has mapped out was heartily approved today by a number of prominent business men ‘ whom he invited to confer with him. Out of the conference came a committee to investigate automobile traffic problems to report to Mr. when he returns from his vacation. Mr. Shank laid his cards on the table and asked the business men what they thought of it and what suggestions they had to offer. All of them thought his idea of starting a number of improvements, such as the east bank flood wall on White River, widening of New York street and cleaning of the sewers was a fine one. They, like Mr. Shank, said they hoped that few people would have to depend upon charity this winter. Men would much rather work than beg, it was agreed. “I'm against charity, anyway,” emphasized Mr. Shank. John L. Elliott, appointee for city civil engineer, declared the city will have to put in more sewers to serve the downtown district. Water is standing in some downtown basements, he assorted. He also said he believed the city legal .department can find a way to assess improvements in a specific locality which benefit a broad territory, against the city general fund, instead of directly against the property owners. When a bridge is built across Fall Creek at Delaware street it should be connected with Washington bculevard on the north as well a3 Delaware street, because the boulevard runs througi: to the canal and Delaware street goes only two blocks north, he submitted. Fire Chief O'Brien said the chief value of Mr. Shank's plan to abolish parking on downtown streets excepting when cars are manned with a driver, lie in the fact that the streets can be swept clean In a few seconds in case of a downtown fire. The ’business men differed greatly upon this subject. The trnffic committee named by Mr. Shank is as follows: Frank Wolf, chairman ; Clarence Baker, Bert Goldberg, Chief O'Brien, Herman F. Rikhoff, appointee for chief of police; M. E. Noblett, secretary of the Iloosier Motor Club, and Edward G. Sourbier. Mr. Shank said he favors the erection qf an annex to the city hall on the Fletcher property on Alabama street, across from the present city building. This annex would house the present departments in the police headquarters building in South Alabama street and the overflow of offices from the crowded city hall. Irving W. Lemaux, member of the present board of public works, with whom Mr. Shank conferred upon this matter, said that the new building should be erected. It was pointed out that the present police building and site probably can be sold to the C. I. A W. Railroad, which has a freight house nearby, for approximately $200,000. The Fletcher property would cost about $175,000, it is said, leaving $25,000 to be applied on the new building. The mayor-elect said he is in favor of annexing Broad Ripple so as to give its residents city street car service and other municipal advantages. lie also would like to see tlie territory west of Eagle Creek, north of the Pennsylvania railroad and south of Michigan street, taken into the city, he said.
