LIQUIDATION IS ENDED, STOCK LIST IMPROVES Pivotal Issues Rally From Low Points on Reaction. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Wednesday was 148.10. off .42. Average price of twenty rails lor Wednesday was 106.88. up .10. Bti United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Stock exchange houses reported after yesterday’s close that most of the neccistous liquidation overhanging the market had been cleaned out on the day’s drives. This improvement, in technical conditions was reflected in the considerably improved tone in the general list at the opening. Pressure was no longer in evidence and substantial rallies took place on the initial transactions in the stocks which had experienced the severest reactions. General Motors moved up 1% to 109; Chrysler 2% to 174; Du Pont 2 to 209; Steel Common a half to 128 Mi and U. S. Rubber % to 87%. Sentiment was confident that no increase in the local discount rate be authorized this afternoon. Hhis feeling helped along the reMJivery in the general list which spread from the motors to other sections of the list in the late morning. ' Cast Iron Pipe rallied sensationally, coming back to 190 against yesterday's low of 176. This rally was helped along by Dow-Jones announcement that the company had under-bid French competition for Detroit municipal contracts. Pipe's recent break was accompanied by rumors that W. C. Durant was liquidating his holdings but these reports were given little credence in well informed quarters. MIDLAND STEEL BONDS CALLED Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The Midland Steeel Products Company is planning to call the balance bf the outstanding $2,500,000 fifteen-year 7 per cent sinking fund convertible bonds, callable at 107%. Local Bank Clearings —Nov. 25 Indianapolis bank clearings for today amounted to $2,730,000. Debits were $5,696,000.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK Nov. 25.—The stopping of sugar tendered on December contracts is probably due to the fact that refiners are finding it less expensive to take sugar on contract rather than re-enter the actual market where the best offering price is 2 % cents. It develops that upward of 15,000 tons have been contracted for shipment abroad at equivalent of 2 5-16 for ■liverv in February. This transaction reflected in decidedly firmer cables in the London future market. With the remainder of the Cuban old crop in strong hands, liquidation of the outstanding De comber contracts will probably s proceed hi orderly fashion without disturbing the future market.

GRAIN FUTURES CLOSE LOWER Commission House Selling Drops Wheat. Bil United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Grain futures closed lower today on the Chicago Board of Trade. Persistent selling reduced wheat prices. Longs and commission houses sold. Reinstatements by those awaiting declines and some evening up accounted for occasional rallies. Liquidators were of the opinion that recent advances have discounted, to a great extent, bullish Argentine- news. Reduced pressure was noted in corn. Fluctuations held within narrow limits. Oats trade was small and featureless. Provisions met cash house and packer selling. Chicago Grain Table Bu United Press —Nov. 2o — WHEAT— Last Open. High. Low. Close. Close.

BOARD BATTLES FOR SHORTRIDGE (Continued From Page 1) 1 this is another example of his doublecrossing," Fred Bates Johnson said. ‘‘He and his association last summer promised cooperation and support when the school levy was fixed. “However, I believe every member of the board, and other persons who know him and who understand his systems, expected something like this at the last minute.” "The Indiana. Taxpayers Association represented by Harry Miesse promised full support to the school board in carrying out its building program,” Adolph Emhardt said. “Now they turn the tables and throw obstacles In the way which actually stop the 1925-26 program. If the State tax board holds to the remonstrance the old Shortridge site will not be sold.” Charles L. Bairy urged that the board adopt a resolution previously prepared, for the sale of the old Shortridge site, as had been agreed when the tax levy ivas fixed. He said such action would strengthen the stand of the board against the remonstrance. Miesse, however, said that board members were wrong in considering tho remonstrance a hindrance to the Shortridge project. "The association is in favor of building a. new Shortridge,” he said. “All we want is that the board be in possession of certain bids on the structure before the bond issue is decided upon, thereby eliminating excessive expenditures and allow ances. Need Is Urgent "I think the entire matter should be fairly presented to members of the State tax board for a settlement of the entire matter. That Is why we have filed the remonstrance. We desire, for the sake of taxpayers, to have the entire project worked on a business-like basis." Urgent need for anew Shortridge

building ivas cited by the faculty. The school has accommodations for 1,800 pupils. More than 2,500 are attending, with prospects of an additional 300 at the beginning of the spring term. Every available room in the building and four rooms In the Benjamin Harrison school are being used as classrooms. Caleb Mills Hall is used as an overflow study hall. Music classes o< 160 pupils each meet in one of the basement rooms, although 1 ventilation and light are not suffi- | cient to care for more than sixty pupils. Lighting conditions also are bad for study in Caleb Mills hall. Board officials said Die erection ot the Washington and Jefferson high schools will not relieve Shortridge congestion. These buildings, to be ready about Jan. 1, 1927, will cut down the number of colored pupils at Shortridge and the enrollment at Manual, but will not affect Shortridge, It was said. The board lias approved the preliminary architect’s drawings on the new Shortridga School at ThirtyFourth and Meridian Sts. It also has advertised for bids on the bond issue for the school. The bids for the bonds had been advertised for three weeks and were to close Friday. The board pointed out that because anew Shortridge was looked for. no repairs, which actually were needed on the present Shortridge, had been made in the last twelve years. Always Delay "We had counted on the building for about twelve years." a member of the Shortridge faculty said. "Each time, however, some type or manner of delay has presented itself. "This time we were positive that the building project would be carried out as promised and expected to move into the new building in September, 1927.” D. U.
