STOCKS HIGHER AFTER GEHERAL MOTORSPURTS G. M. C. Plans for Coming Year Spread Optimism.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Thursday was 197:09, up .35. Average of twenty rails was 140.90, up .34. Average of forty bonds was 08.28, off .01. Em United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—General Motors turned unusually active in early dealings today on the Stock Exchange and led the market upward. Information regarding the company’s plans for the coming year was optimistic. This embraced several new models in present lines ready for exhibit at the January automobile show. General Motors opened at 130 to 130 V 2, up % to 1 point, and then shot up to 132 in a long string of sales. Other motor shares, particularly Hudson and Chrysler, were sharply higher. U. S. Steel Strong United States Steel also was strong. The issue opened at 147% uf> IVi points. Copper shares continued firm, as did utilities. Oils were quiet. Rails were dull. Specialties headed by Radio Corporation soared. With the trading community expecting an increase up to $100,000,000 in brokers loans for the week ended Dec. 14, bears were caught napping by the decrease shown by the statement. This reduction was interpreted to mean that recent buying had been for the account of interests able to take care of their commitments with substantial borrowing. % Evidence of technical strength induced heavy short covering in the early dealings.' Seasonal Sales Buying broadened in the late morning, with Steel and General Motors furnishing the leadership, operations for the rise in special groups went ahead with increasing confidence. Special demand converged on shares benefiting from seasonal expansion of sales. Shattuck spurted 4% points to 94%. Other stocks which responded to exceptionally good Christmas trade were Woolworth, which gained 2 points at 193%, and Arnold Constable, which ran up 3 points to 55. Anaconda Copper moved up a point to 56, high since 1922. Substantial amounts of Anaconda have recently been taken from the mar-i ket for investment account.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Nothing this morning of a discouraging nature to the buoyant sentiment now prevailing. A significant development of late, which has escaped general comment, is the steady increase in odd lot buying. Is it not possible that much of this is intended for Christmas presents by fathers to their children, husbands to wives, and so on? Until the Liberty loans were offered, the general public had only a vague idea of investment. With the education that started then and with the steady increase of prosperity having raised the national standard of living with a more general understanding and discussion of the principles of economics and the now widely diffused ownership of our industrial corporations, the idea of investment has become general, and in place of useless presents, the idea of gifts that are continuing in character have an appeal. . Multiply a few shares apiece taken by individuals all over the country and the aggregate may so affect the floating supply as to account for rises in many issues. I think the market will continue its present course. Flees Operating Table in Blanket Em United Press BOSTON, Dec. 16.—Climbing from the operating table of a hospital in the absence of surgeons from the room, Thomas McKee, 40, fled from the institution with only a blanket to protect him from the cold.
