GENERAL MARKET IS FAIRLY CALI AFTERTHE STORM Absence of Pyrotechnics in Davison Leaves List Generally Steady. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Nov 23.—The stock market opened fairlv active and firm today with numerous leading issues showing fractional advances. The opening in Davison Chemical was moderate for that stock with a double opening of 400 shares at 61 and 100 at 60%. Subsequently, it sold at 62% on a small volume. Maxwell “A” was again strong, advancing 2Vi to anew high on the movement. "B” shares were up fractionally. Studebaker was unchanged while Moon was up % at 24%. The foreign exchanges opened flower. First Hour A fair volume of activity continued throughout the first half hour, although the trading was far below that of the same period on Thursday. In the main, stocks were firm, not being called upon to contend with the influence ot pyrotechnics such as occurred in Davison Chemical, which was relatively dull around 62. Equipments improved over the opening prices, Baldwin 1 running above 127, about a point higher than the opening, while American Locomotive, dt 74%, was up %. Second Ilqur Aggressive operations for the rise continued In a broadening group of specialties in the late morning. Mack Trucks and Gulf States Steel featured. Davison Chemical s market was more orderly as the excitement died down. The refusal by one of the specialties in Davison to accept orders during Thursday's wild gyrations was confined to stop orders and was temporary. Sugars were strong, moving ahead under the leaden-hip of American Beet and Cuba Cane preferred which reached new highs on the movement. Noon Hour Trading slowed down in the noon dealings, the volume of turnover falling to more like normal proportions. {3ut little reaction took place among lie speculative leaders and new leadeis were taken up Mich time the market appeared to hesitate. Motor accessory stocks such as Stewart-War-ner and Stromberg scored further sharp gains while other industrial specialties made good gains on relatively light sales. The tono was considerably better.
Fourth Hour The real feature of the industrials in the early afternoon was the strength of electric stocks. United States Steel Corporation aud subsidiaries, it was announced, are operating on the average of about S2 per cent of normal, while incoming business so far this month is slightly better than in the first three weeks cf October, though not quite up to the average for the entire month. Little selling pressure was directed against the list as the session wore on. Twenty active industrial stocks on Thursday averaged 91.83. off .34 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.59, up .14 per cent. 0 New York Money Market Bu tutted } inanrial NEW YORK.

WHEAT DECLINES ON EARLY SALES Selling by Thursday’s Buyers Lowers Values—Corn Better. Bu Vnitcd Finnnrial CHICAGO, Nov. 23.—Grain prices opened higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Fair advances In Liverpool® and higher Argentine cables brought some wheat buying at the outset, but selling was met on the advance and .values receded. Selling for the most part was by Thursday's buyers and inducted by a sharp increase in Minneapolis receipts for the week, foreshadowing a substantial increase In tho visible supply next week. Ex port business showed Improvement overnight, about 500,000 bushels being worked. Receipts continued light. Corn had a strong undertone with better investment buying. Good demand existed and prices advanced despite liberal receipts. Buying was influenced by bad weather in scattered sections and predictions for rains and snows during the day. Oats sold higher with other grains on a dull market. Provision market was lower with hogs arid weaker cables. Chicago Grain Table (By Thomson A McKinnon) At 11.45—N0v. 23. WHEAT— „ T-v. Open. High.

NEW YORK—A few months ago Wall Street had almost forgotten that there ever was a Santa Claus. This was because business on Stock Exchange was small and brokers’ profits were meagre. Many of them, at the time, complained they were not earning their overhead. However, in recent weeks, with the daily Stock Exchange transact! ms running around the million share mark, the Christmas outlook lias ussumed a different and encouraging aspect. Already the Wall Street clerical element is speculating as to the extent of Kris-Kingle s generosity. It is likely that the usual liberal distributions will be made by the larger houses who have shared to a great extent In the recent activity while other firms, especially those catering almost exclusively to the public which dabbles in odd lots, the remembrances will not be unto those of the former Yuletide seasons. Without question the bank workers will fare somewhat better than their broker brothers. The banks have had a good year, and inquiries among them llict the information that the worker* will be remembered.

Iff CRAY SURETY v ON POOL‘SHORT’ (Continued From Page 1) went into the Aetna Trust Company fund. "Have you any Idea as to the fair cash value of the Newton County farm of the Orchard Lake Stock Farm Company?” Goodrich was asked. "At least $250 an acre. I think It is the best farm in America. In ordinary times it ought to be worth S3OO or S4OO an acre." -i'Were some notes and bills payable turned over to you?" "There were.” "Do you remember the aggregate of all bills receivable?" "Two hundred sixteen thousand dollars.” "What was the value of the bills receivable?" "My opinion is the value of that security :3 about $50,000.” No Idea of Expense "Have you any idea of the expense incurred by McCray in raising that fund?” "No, sir.” "Did he pay any commission or fees?” "He certainly did not. If he did, I never heard of it.” James W. Noel, attorney for McCray, opened the cross-examination. “When you valued the notes at $50,000, did you take into consideration mortgage notes of $42,000?” he asked. "I did.” Noai than asked ab&ut hi; estimate of the value of the Orchard Lake Stock Farm. "The farm is so big you would have to find a millionaire to buy it,” he said.

If we could sell it that way we would all be happy.” Better Price Expected “Was the term of the trust agreement fixel at two years with the idea a better price Tould be obtained for the property later?” is correct..” Goodrich testified the $350,000 In notes given by McCray to the pool are due In two years unless the Interest payments are not kept up, in which case they become due sooner.
