Average of twenty Industrial* for Thursday was 251 51. off 3.13. Average of twenty rail* was 149.41. off .19. Average of forty bonds was 94.48, up .07. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK. Dec. 6.—A burst ol strength in United States Steel common, which carried it to the highest price since the culmination of the November crash, stimulated aggressive buying operations on the Stok Exchange in closing dealings today. The final hour of trading was marked by sensational uprushes in all sections of the list with electrical equipment shares, utilities and several high-grade issues holding the limelight. Gains ranged about ten points in long lists of issues. General Electric soared more than twenty points. Tickers ran behind near the close and at 2:50 p. m., were lagging twelve minutes. Steel Up to 171 Steel reached 171 shortly before the close, where it was up 6Vi points. Radio Coporation spurted more than three points and gains of one to nine points were made by Westinghouse Electric, American Can, International Nickel, General Motors, Allis Chalmers and a long list of others. Confidence appeared restored better than at any time since the break and buying operations were carried on at a tremendous scale. On the rise, Sfnall operators sent in orders in large amounts. Scenes on the floor harked back to the days of the bull market of a few months ago when prices were rising sensationally. Electric equipments were the best as a group, rising on the strength of a four-for-one split in General Electric. Allis Chalmers led the machinery stocks, following an advance in its dividend from $2 to $3 per share. Profit-Taking Absent Some pool operators, recently eliminated, were back at their old stands today. Radio was said to be under manipuation by a big pool and aggressive buying was induced in Columbia Graphophone. As the rise continued bears were driven to cover and their buying furthered the advance. The usual week-end profit-taking was absent. United States Steel closed at 171 a, up 7 points for the day. General Electric closed with a gain of 21 i; Westinghouse Electric, 10 points, and other leaders made proportionate gains. Gains of 1 to 5 points were made in Montgomery Ward, American Telephone, International Telephone. Columbia Graphophone. New York Central, American Smelting, Union Pacific, Woolworth. American Can and dozens of others.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson <& McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 6.—Stimulated by the dav's developments, the stock market reversed its reactionary tendency of Thursday and continued its recovery movement. Enrlv in the day some realizing sales were encountered, but aggressive investment buying was more than sufficient to absorb such selling. Decision to split the stock of General Electric exercised a most wholesome influence on sentiment providing as it does another indication of the highly constructive attitude which our leading industrialist and important banking interests have adopted. Following closeiv the split-up of National Biscuit Company, which enjoys similar banking sponsorship, this development clearly illustrates the confidence with which such leaders view the present situation. Naturally enough, there was particular demand for the shares of electrical equipment companies and similarly both public utilities and cooper stocks were improved in tone, while the rail group continued under Insistent demand, with much of the buying therein predicated on the expectation of a favorable report on the consolidation program. More rapidly than was recently believed possible the situation is clearing and normal conditions in business and the market are therefore in early prospect. We are Impressed bv the maintatned strength of the investment demand for the best class of stocks and we believe it to be Justified bv any measure of value which can be applied New York Liberty Bonds —Dec. 6 Close. 3’ a s 99.18 Ist i'.s 101.10 4th 4>.s 101 6 Tr 4’-„s. 1952 112.20 Tr 4s. 1954 108.20 Tr 3’s 105.24 Tr 3 5 >s 4s 100.6 RAW SUGAR PRICES —Dec. 6 High.

GRAIN FUTURES MAKE GAINS IN LATE3ESSION Foreign Markets Give Wheat Good Buying Support. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 6—Wheat staged a late recovery on the marked improvement in the export demand as the Board of Trade closed today. The southwest reported sales of No. 1 hard at T 4 cent over May at the gulf, the highest basis so far. Thrashing returns from some of the best sections in Argentina indicate a yield of only 8% bushels an acre. Reports in general are more bullish. Wheat carried corn and oats up with it. At the close wheat was % to 1% cents higher; corn was % to % cent higher, and oats was % cent lower to Vs cent higher. Provisions were Wheat had good buying support at the opening on the strength in foreign markets. There was an easing of prices under persistent pressure during the morning. Liverpool reacted sharply from the high and closed % to % cent lower. Buenos Aires was % to % cent higher at mid-day. Cash prices were 1 cent lower. Receipts were twenty-three cars. Fair buying support early, lifted corn prices, but with easing in wheat they were off again before midsession. Receipts were larger today than Thursday, somewhat confirming the belief that the general movement had set in. Cash demand was good, however, cash prices were % to % cent lower. Receipts were 321 cars. Oats lost about V 2 cent in sympathy with the others, during the morning, although there was little action in the pit and no news of an independent nature. Cash prices were V* cent lower. Receipts were twenty-four cars.

In the Cotton Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Liverpool evidently had some trade buying orders today. Their market was better. They were brought here. Local traders were still bearish and sold freely In the first half hour, holding New York around Thursday’s close. Eastern spot houses were steady buyers In a small way and hedge selling either disappeared or was so small it attracted no attention. At noon the market had worked up about eight points and the tone was very steady. Whatever there is to say about textile business, in the contrast markets themselves the situation seems thoroughly discounted It is very unlikely that a decline can occur before next week's government estimate, and we do not expect it then. It is a market which has been sold for commercial purposes, and It must be bought now for the same reasons, as the cotton goes forward to the mills. NEW ORLEANS —Dec. 6 High Low. Close.

G. E, TO SPLIT COMMONSTOCK Dividend Declared at $1.50 a Share. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Directors of the General Electric Company today called for a special meeting of stockholders on Jan. 15, to vote on a plan for splitting the common stock on a four for one basis and to place the new stock on a $1.60 annual basis. The $1.60 annual basis on the new stock after the splitup would compare with $4 paid annually on the old. On the basis of the splitup the new stock will pay $6.40 annually. It is planned to split the present 7,400,000 shares of authorized common stock into 29,600,000 of common without par value. The directors also declared a dividend of $1.50 a share on the present common stock, payable Jan. 1 to stockholders of record Dec. 16. This is the last dividend to be paid on the present stock. Upon authorization by the stockholders of the proposed change in capitalization, the directors propose to pay a quarterly dividend on the new common stock of 40 cents, or $1.60 a year.

FOX CONSENTS TO TRUSTEESHIP Film Company Sets New Business Record. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The Motion Picture News said today that William Fox has consented to the formation of a trusteeship committee to control his extensive motion picture interests. The committee, according to the article, is composed of Harry Stuart of Halsey, Stuart & Cos.; John E. Otterson of Electrical Research Products, Inc., and Fox. “This move,” the Motion Picture News will say, “culminates the flood of rumors rampant in the industry regarding the financial status of the Fox Companies. “The situation is entiryel under control, the Fox Companies are today enjoying the biggest business in their history. Fox film will show a profit of between $13,000,000 and $15,000,000 for 1929. “Fox personally finds himself in a position where short-term notes signed in acquiring Loews, Inc., and the Gaumont British Corporaiton of England could not be met. The recent stock crash is principally responsible. There will be no changes in management. Fox continues as president of his companies, and, as in the past, retains entire contro’ of the 100,000 shares of Class B stock in which is vested the full voting power of the Fox Film Corporation.”
