STEEL LEADER -IN LAST HOUR SPURTIN LIST General Motors and Mercantile Issues Advance on Exchange.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Thursday was 190.70, up 1.39. Average of twenty rails was 138.03, up .30. Average of forty bonds was 98.83, up .07, new high. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—A last hour spurt brought the entire stock market into higher territory today under the lead of United States Steel, General Motors and Mercantile issues. Earlier trading had been on a small scale. Early dealings were irregular, due to expectations of a selling wave in General Mbtors. When this failed to materialize and Steel advanced, the list rallied. Mall order issues led by Sears Roebuck spurted, while tobacco progressed. American Can and Corn Products went into high ground and Columbian Carbon went up more than 4 points. Southern Railway was up more than 3 points. Moon was active and higher, while Chrysler and Hudson also advanced. Harvester soared 6% points and Woolworth 4% and a good many others 2 or more. Kress lost 5% points. With the good news out regarding the dividend policy on the new General Motor shares, brokers’ loans showing an increase of about $13,000,000, most authorities expected the market to sell off today. Instead, the trading was characterized b ya generally confident tone. Progress on the upside was made in Steel, General Motors and other leaders of the industrial division. But the important point was that these issues put forth effective resistance to profit-taking and bearish pressure. In view of the general expectations in speculative quarters that the main body of stocks was on the threshhold of further reaction this feature was particularly encouraging to bullish interests.

In the Sugar Market

, (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Nov. H.—Some long liquidation combined With European selling caused a slightly lower market at the outset, which, however recovered later. There was no snap to trading and there was a disposition to hold off in the hope that Mondays conference In Paris with Senator Tarafa would result in something definite. The raw sugar market is at a standstill with nothing offering below 2 15-16 cents. The market will continue ln this uncertain position pending the final settleemnt of the producing problem.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Nov. 11.—The cotton market opened this morning with a strong demand from spot dealers, nad selling by recent bears failed to put prices below Thursday's close. The weather predictions for tomorrow attracted less attention than, in our opinion, they deserve, for while it is true that the crop has been a very early one in a large part of the belt, it also is true that late planted cotton in the Mississippi delta, western Texas. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri may suffer seriously by the freezing weather. Throughout this morning it was surprising to see the scarcity of offerings fro mthe South. It Is in our mind that the period of violent fluctuations in cotton is over, and prices will show a closer relatonship to the textile business as the future unfolds. We do not predict an immediate advance of any great magnitude, but recommend purchase on easy markets. NEW YORK . High. Low. Close.

MARKET GIVES GOODACGOUNT Stock Exchange Is Strictly Investment Market. (By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Although it faltered a little in the early session, the market as a whole gave a good account of itself. It furnished a demonstratiop of what its real character has become these last few days—a strictly investment market. Thus the stocks possessing an investment quality were in demand and displayed a degree of stability that was noteworthy. Merchandising stocks were in demand in anticipation of a good holiday trade, although there is no reason to anticipate anything otherwise. In the contrary, indications point to a heavy retail business during the coming weeks. It is well to remember that the much talked of business recession has confined itself to only a few lines of industry and that, all told, it does not signify that we are no longer prosperous. The only real complaint is that we have not been able to maintain the boom pace of 1926. Industries that have been lagging are now showing signs of recovery and with capital eager for employment there is the foundation for an upturn in worthwhile stocks which, while It may be slow in getting under way, will, we believe, soon assume more definite form.

Hundreds of City School Pupils Cannot Speak Plainly. “Hundreds of school children ln Indiana still talk “baby talk,” and some cannot speak plainly enough to make themselves understood by their teachers,” Dr. Herman P. Young, of Indiana University, told teachers and board members of the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten Society at the Riley Hospital, yesterday. Dr. Young personally has examined 140 of these children during the past two and a half years at the hospital, and he says that while most people think that “baby talk” is a thing that the child may outgrow. the fact is thet many carry the habit of mutilated speech into their adult years. Some teachers think that if they punish children, they can be made to speak correctly, Dr. Young said, but according to his observations, the child cannot help himself. “Nobody but a trained specialist in speech realizes what a complicated job talking is,” said Dr. Young. “The difference of an eighth of an inch in the position of the tongue will make a difference in the way the sound comes out.” One teacher refused to let a 12-vear-old boy have his lunch until he stopped his “baby talk.” Another teacher advised that the child’s family deprive him of food until he “talked right.” Upon examination Dr. Young estimated that it would take this child three years to learn to speak correctly.
