Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—With activity at the rate of 3,000,000 shares a very broad market developed today on the stock exchange. Prices generally gained, though late profittaking wiped out much of the advance. New high records were made by a score or more of issues, principal among which was United states Industrial Alcohol, Wright Aero,. Freeport Texas, Greene Copper, Canadian Pacific and Westinghouse. Railroad shares made up for irregularity in industrial by a concerted advance which carried the* leaders up as much as 15 Va points; in the case of Canadian Pacific. C. & O. .spurted 4 points, Lehigh Valley, 3>s;, Gulf, Mobile & Northern, 4; Delaware & Hudson, 10; Louisville <ss Nashville, 214; Missouri, Kansas & Texas, 214; New York Central, nearly 2, and Kansas City Southern, 2%.

Steel held up well throughout the day, but General Motors eased off late in. the session with selling for profit in other industrials. Wall Street, lost its nervousness over the coming session of Congress in the expectation that it would be opened by a constructive message on the- part of President Coolidge. Belief that his words would have a stimulating effect on business was reflected in another bullish demonstration in stocks today. This found expression in vigorous advances in standard rails. Canedian Pacific ran up violently, while substantial gains took place in New York Central, C. & 0., Union Pacific and other members of the high priced class. Sales Total 3,000,000 Shares Jill r^u r ,l NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Sales on the stock • exchange today totaled 3,006,100 shares, the second largest day this, year and the tenth time in the history of the exchange the 3,000,000 mark has been reached in one full session.

In the Cotton Market

. (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The cotton market was a steady affair this morning and trade buying in evidence on almost every point decline. The into sight movement is falling well behind last year, and as spinners takings hold up well there is no reason for holders of the actual to press the remnant of the crop. We have noticed in the past that when the near positions are relatively stronger - than the distant, shat the market shows a rising tendency* and that seems to be the case at present. We recommend the purchase of cotton on all declines. NEW YORK High. Low. Close.

Com followed with a fair rally and late in the day oats held their opening strength. There was no news of sufficient importance to account for the sudden rise in wheat, and traders attributed the buying demand to technical pit conditions. Buenos Aires cables were lower, indicating favorable cropt conditions in the Argentine, and Liverpool was steady. Export demand was reported slack. Receipts were eleven cars and the cash market unchanged. Locals were Inclined to sell on every rise. Husking is at a standstill, advices from several districts said, and snow and ice covers the fields. The cash demand was strong, aiding the rally. Receipts were 110 cars and cash com was 1 to 1% cents up. Oats was strong all day, and although the gains were fractional, buying was prompt on the dips. Reports c? low terminal stocks and very small stocks on the farms created considerable interest in the market. Receipts, seventy-five cars; cash oats, l A cent higher. Closing prices in wheat were under the day’s best figures, due to a slight decline just before the elose fc In com and oats, the noon rally Tield well, and closing figures were very nearly the day’s tops.

Louis Shelton Wins Limerick No. 1 Contest BY LIMERICK LARRY. Here are the winners of Limerick No. 1! Mayor Slack, who picked the winning “last lines,” admitted the task was difficult—there were many good “last lines" submitted—but that “flaapper with skirts to her knees,” just had to have something “definite” done about her predicament, so here’s the limerick and the winning lines: A flapper with skirts to her knees, Out walking one day in the breeze, 4 Caught a coldMn her head • And afterward said: “YOU’LL SEE MORE OF ME WHEN I SNEEZE.” Louis Shelton, 222 E. Ohio St., is the author of this line which wins him $5 and a chance at the S2OB Stewart-Wamer console radio, donated by the National Furniture Company, 335 W. Washington St. The radio, you know, goes to the author of the best last line submitted during the three-week contest. Catherine Tate, 327 N. Keystone Ave., won second place and $3 for her line: ‘XET GILLIOM PRESCRIBE FOR ME, PLEASE.” ' Virginia Casmire, 13. of 315 Haarvard Pll., a pupil in James Whitcomb Riley school, submitted the third best line aand won $2. Her line, which accompanied a clever drawing of the flapper curing her cold, was: “I DIDN’T THINK IVORY WOULD FREEZE.” \ Many contestants are going to see by these results how close they came to winning. Keep it'up—the person who comes close often enough is bound to win in the end! Remember neatness counts—this doesn’t mean your answer has to be elaborate, two of the winners used coupons, upon which to write their "last lines.” Read the rules and get in the game—it’s great fun: 1. Write the cleverest’ and most fitting last line you can think of. 2. Contestants may use the coupon in The Times or may send in their “last line” on any separate paper. They may send in as many “last lines” for each limerick as they wish. 3. The paper or coupon must bear the same number as the coupon which contains the “last line” limerick as rinted in The Times of that day. 4. If any two or more contestants supply equally clever and fitting “last lines,” the judges in deciding the winner wiU take into consideration neatness and speUing. 5. Anyone, except employes of The Indianapolis Times and the • Howard newspapers and their immediate families, is eligible to enter this contest. 6. Remember, if you win a prize any day you will, without further work, be eligible for the S2OB grand prize. * ,

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Sugar was moderately active nad firmer with Indications of European covering, especially in the far months, while local trade houses were covering the near positions. At the higher levels contracts were supplied by local professionals. The strength here was largely a reflection of the stronger London market, which had placed a bullish lnteroretatlon of the results of the Berlin conference. There was some expectation of sales of raw sugars at an advance of the previous prices, but nothing had been confirmed up to a late hour. The feeling among houses in the trade is that If the questions that have been agitating the trade can only be definitely settled it will be possible to go ahead with legitimate market operations, which should make for higher prices.
