Manufacturers, however, have increased operations during recent fnonths, according to special reports to Dun's Review.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STOCKS START WITH CHEERFUL OUTW AHEAD Renewed Interest Shown in Buying—Money Unchanged. By FI. Walter Mockler NEW YORK, Dec. 13—Stocks start the new week on a more cheerful basis than for some time past. Rails seem to be headed for a real market and public is beginning to show a renewal of that buying interest essential to any successful stock market movement. The money situation is unchanged, which means that an ample supply of funds is available for all purposes around 4% per cent. This rate is likely to climb somewhat and it would not be surprising if we had a period of progressively firmer money until after the turn of the year. Tho turnover incidental to year-end settlements is going to be very heavy this year and will likely make quite an impression in the call money market. However the factor is one which can be a'hticipated and to some extent measured. With the evidence of better public interest, the stock market has shown considerably more confidence. Pools are going ahead with their share of this confidence and the buying support which had been sustaining the market over the long weeks wb it bridged tlie gap between the August break and the December rally, is inareasing. There were several important developments during last week. The treasury offering of but $200,000,000 3Vi per rent nine-month certificates disappointed those in the Street who were looking for a much larger issue. The offering was taken up right after the books opened anil the Street was still hungry for good short term investments. The $200,009 new certificates was all that was required in the way of new money to rettire $450,000,000 in maturities. Thus in addition to the usual demand for short term business the market Is complicated by this extra $250,000,000 released from certificates and added to the volume of funds seeking employment. Once again tho market emphasized the fact that the United States has ample funds for all of its needs and that the ultimate course of investments is toward lower yields. If proof of this were needed and the two recent issues of Standard Oil debentures both selling at less than 5 per cent yield, were not sufficient, the action of the bond markets dtirig the past week could be offered in evidence. Wall Street persists in the belief that a motor merger is in the making. or at least being seriously considers \ This possibility has long been r factor in consideration of motor stocks. When competition becomes as stiff as it is at present in the motor car field, then the prospects for mergers always become bright.

mar celebrate the occasion. One ct them was Mrs. Josephine Peabody who was a bridesmaid on that equally festive aay in 1851 when Biack mar led Miss Ann Blood to the, altar All their lives since then have been spent in Columbus. Forty-seven of Mrs. Plackmar's 95 and of her husband's 96 years have been lived In the same home on Fourth Ave. From it they have seen their descendants increase to thirty-seven. “I'd like the best in the world to live here with Alfred forty-seven years more,” sai l Mrs. Blackmar. Something for the Nut Goodwinites to think about!
