Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Pi ice movements on the New York stock exchange were narrow at the opening of the new week.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Nothing has occurred over the week-end to materially alter the situation, at least not for the worse. The money and Investment situations are now well recognized as basic influences in the present underlying strength of the stock market. It is well to take a look and see whether the optimistic predictions as to trade revival are actually getting under way. In the steel trade this is undoubtedly so. The governmental program includes several big projects such a flood control, increased naval construction and the like, all of which mean not only greater demand for steel, but greater distribution of wages spreading their buying power in all directions. Temporary reactions are to be expected, but should be used for increasing long lines.

In the Cotton Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Nov. 21.—The feeling Is so general among brokers that prices are about to advance, it will take a very bearish ginning report this morning to alter it. Mental processes are not necessarily accurate, but what we see we see, and the strong spot situation i3 obvious. Bu United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 21.—Cotton futures opened 35 to 65 points higher.

CONGRESS WILL FIGHTHGER Dickinson Sees Opposition to Rail Consolidation Law. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—A congressional fight over railroad consolidation legislation was indicated in a statement today by Representative Dickinson (Rep.) of lowa, leader of the House farm bloc, opposing the proposed merger of the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. Congress, Dickinson declared, will take a “very sharp interest” in this proposed merger and in consolidation legislation early in the coming session. He said he will oppose the Pa/ker bill, providing voluntary consolidations, which will be introduced again. The proposed Northwestern rail merger, he said, “does not appear to be in the public interest” and “would create unbalanced competition of a sort to jeopardize the interests of the Northwest generally.” Publicity Concern Dickinson’s statement opposing this merger of the roads built up by the late James J. Hill and J. P. Morgan was put out by a Philadelphia publicity concern. The same agency is also handling publicity for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul reorganization, promoted by Kuhn, Loeb & Cos. of New York, known generally as rivals of the Morgan interests in railroad financing. The plan for the Northwest merger, Dickinson said, is essentially that ’ of the merger during the Roosevelt administration which was broken up by the Government’s victory in the “Northern securities suit,” which Dickinson described as ‘one of the greatest legal battles of the beginning of the present century.” See Scheme Revival “What we now see is an effort to revive the scheme which was so signally defeated a little more than twenty years ago,” he said. Dickinson pointed out that the lowa board of railroad commissioners had asked to intervene in tire case, pending before the interstate commerce commission, on the ground that the merger would endanger lowa’s transportation facilities and that the lowa Traffic League also holds this view.

WHEAT, CORN HIGHER; OATS BEGIN LOWER Major Grain Display Higher Tone on Foreign Cables. Bit United Press * CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—Corn and wheat were fractionally higher, but oats had lost its steadiness of the last week at today’s opening on the Chicago Board of Trade. Opening figures: Wheat, 14 to %c higher: corn, M to higher; oats, Is to ?4c lower. Wheat showed a firm tendency from the start, on higher cables from both Buenos Aires and Liverpool. The Canadian and American situation was not materially changed. Hot winds, with temperatures as high as 112 degrees, were reported doing serious damage to Argentine wheat. ’ Corn was higher in sympathy with wheat and on continued conflicting husking returns. The movement of new corn was noticeably increasing in Nebraska. Receipts at Southwest points were increasing all last week, indicating that farmers are beginning to market the corn in larger quantities. These factors were expected to be bearish, but traders have been frightened by the confused crop reports and the unfavorable yields reported in some sections. Decline of interest in oats was manifest today with the returning activity in other grains. Provisions opened slightly higher. Chicago Grain Table ' —Nov. 21WHEAT— High. Low. 12:00.

NECKLACE GIFT STORY AROUSES ‘STEVEWRATH D. C. Stephenson, from his cell in Indiana State Prison, today added his chapter to the story about a string of pearls he gave Mrs. Arthur R. Robinson in 1924. Lloyd Hill, Stephenson attorney, gave out a statement he said Stephenson issued. Senator Robinson first made public the pearl story. Mrs. Robinson said she had not had them appraised, but was sure they were the department store variety.” The statement attributed to Stephenson by Hill: “It is a matter of profound regret that any political blackguard in Indiana would attempt to place sinister meaning upon formal acknowledgment of a Christmas present supposed to have been sent to Mrs. Arthur Robinson from me in 1924. ‘Nothing Personal “If Mrs. Robinson received a Christmas present from me, there was nothing personal or unusual about the transaction. She was active in politics, just as many other splendid women were. I have no doubt that she may have been one of 200 or 300 persons to whom I sent some small present. “If Mrs. Robinson formally acknowledged whatever was sefit her, the letter was not called to my attention, but vas probably filed by my secretary, who selected all pjesents, sent all letters and telegrams, and considered it merely office routine. For any one to attempt to distort this commonplace incident is a deed of cowardice, of which cnly a despicable cad could be capable. “It should be a matter of shame and humiliation that this rebuke must come from one confined in prison, who administers it in violation of the rules of the political guardhouse and will be brutalized for having the courage and manhood to do a thing that should have been done by every chivalric gentleman in the Republican party who knew the truth and did not

If we would carefully study the habits of oup ancient friend, Pythagoras, he would doubtless acquire some valuable political wisdom. “(Note.) Pythagoras is said to have imposed five years’ absolute silence upon certain lieutenants and often devoted months to uninterrupted study on his own part.”
