United States Steel was strong all day and General Motors picked up strength in the afternooh. Coppers were actively taken at higher levels. Greene Copper soared 4 points, while Kennecott, Chile and Anaconda rose to new record levels, advances ranging from IV 2 to 2 points. Oil isues firmed up late in the day with American Republic spurting 2 points to lYs, equaling its high of the year. New York Central buoyed' up the where activity converged on Canadian Pacific, Atchison and Erie. Delaware & Hudson also was in demand rising V 2 point. Montgomery Ward Up Montgomery Ward reached new high ground to feature the mercantile group, while Postum Company made anew record at the head of the food group. Describing the market, the Wall; Street Journal’s financial review said today: “Stocks maintained pronounced strength today despite an advance in call money to 5 per cent. Although this was the stitffest charge for speculative borrowing since July 1, it compares with 6 per cent for the corresponding period last year. Moreover, it was recognized that the credit stringency would pass after completion of the year-end settlement. “Reinvestment demand for representative stocks was a stronger influence than the temporary stiffening of money conditions. U. S. Steel Leads “Operations for the rise went ahead without interruption with U. S. Steel again leading the upward processions. Steel reached its best levels since the October break and geed sized gains were scored by ether trading favorites. Issues with an investment flavor, including National Biscuit, D. L. & W., and Canadian Pacific also moved ahead briskly. , “Bad breaks occurred in specialties like Fidelity-Phoenix and Continental Insurance, but these sharp declines did not unsettle the list. It .was generally believed that the recent spectacular advances in insurance shares had carried them coiisiderably higher than was justified by their earnings. Consequently, the downward plunges of the stocks were looked upon as a proper adjustment of their values.”

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Today’s stock market had an opportunity to demonstrate its inherent strength. The Increase in brokers’ 10-ns was passed by practically unnoticed. Later when the call money rate was advanced to 5 per cent it likewise was accorded scant attention. In the former instance the assumption was f l ' t 3.000.000 share days demand a corresponding volume of credit and ideas as to what constitutes a huge credit total cannot be measured by 2,000,000 shares standards as lone as the money is available. As to the increase in the call rate, the market already had its mind made up •to it as an incident to the closing days of the veer. It was reported that as soon as the 5 pe • cent rate was announced there v. 's mo • money offered than could be used. Thus from the money standpoint the market has expressed its approval of •o”rrent conditions such trade reports as were available continued on the constructive side. Copper metal prices were advanced with predictions that the stabilization of currency would have a stimulating effect on European industry wtih a conseouent increased demand for copper and other American products. Within the current market there is a great deal of realizing going on. but the eagerness of the demand more than effects it. Both supoly and demand are likely to Increase after t'-’e ff-st of the vr>r. but so far as it is possible to see ahead it looks as if investment requirements will dominate.

In the Cotton Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 23.—Better cables gave the market a strong Impulse this morning and an initial advance of about 25 points was well maintained throughout the day. A demand for January cotton on the part of spot houses operated as a check upon short sales and gave additional confidence to holders of other positions. The exchange will reopen after the Christmas holidays on Tuesday, and as that is the date of first notice day for the delivery of cotton on January contracts traders are inclined to stress the strength to which we have referred. Weakness in spot cotton after the end of the year will hardly occur unless some pronounced change for the worse in general textile business Is noted. We see no reason for an aggressive stand on the long side, but on such declines as uncover trade demand, cotton Is attractive. NEW ORLEANS High. Low. Close.

MOTHER IS FRANTIC
Hickman Will Be Slain, She Fears
Bji United Press * KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 24.—The world may believe Edward Hickman guiity of one of the most brutal murders in recent police history, but his mother, Mrs. Eva Hickman of Kansas City, is convinced his story is true. Mrs. Hickman was on the verge of nervous collapse when news of her son’s capture was carried to her. Edward may have performed the kidnaping of Marion Parker—but murder—no, her son would not kill an innocent child, according to the mother. ‘‘Thank God they found him, for they were hunting him to death,” she said between sobs of hysteria. "Now I want him to have a square deal and I want to be with him.” With the mother when news of her son’s capture was flashed across the continent were Edward’s two brothers, Horace and Paul, and Mary, 17-year-old sister.
They were joined later by Lieut. Col. Charles Edwards, family friend and adviser, to whom Edward was paroled following his arrest in Los Angeles last summer on a bad check charge. Edwards took charge of the Hickman household and refused entrance to inquisitive neighbors, who shought to discuss the case with the family. Paces the Floor Throughout the evening Mrs. Hickman remained confined in her bedroom. Sometimes she paced the floor and cried, “My boy! My boy!” The distracted mother made a valiant effort to control herself, but seemed unable to do so. “My God! My God!” She shouted. "They will k’ll him! They will kill him! They won’t give him a chance —he needs me—he needs me.” Mary, Edward’s sister, embraced her mother and sought to calm her. “Now, don t worry, mothe,” said Mary. “They re not going to kill Edward. This is the United States and there will be a trial. A jury will decide what is to be done with him.” Gets “Vile” Letters Mrs. Hickman told of receiving two "vile” letters from women who live in Kansas City. Both said they were mothers and wanted her to know what should be done with her son. "Why did they tell me that?” she asked. "Did they need to go to so much trouble to make things hard for me?” The mother seemed to find solace in the things in Edward’s life that were to be commerced; his regular attendance at Sunday school and church; his musical ability; his high school record and his desire to study for the ministrj’. Edward was one of the ten ranking students at Central High School here and a leader in school activities. Colonel Edwards said every effort would be made to raise funds to send Mrs. Hickman to California so she could be with her son at his trial. CHEER IS BROUGHT TO HOSPITAL ‘SHUT-INS’
