Coppers firmed up with Anaconda up >4 at 28 , on a rise in the price ior domestic copper to 10% cents a pound. Considerable stocks were sold to take tax losses. This was indicated by the large number of oddlot sales recorded. These are carried at request of the broker to furnish clients with a record of the ale for use in connection with their income tax reports. No Real Features Some additional short selling also was done. Investment buying orders were noted in some of the leading issues such as United States Steel and American Can. There was no concerted activity in any section and the market was without real feature. For a time the traction shares moved up following publication of the unification plan which would combine all the New York companies. These shares gave ground later. Commodity prices were slightly firmer. Bonds were featured by domestic traction issues. Other groups moved up slightly in fairly active turnover. Call money renewed at 2% per cent, rising to 3 per cent at midsession. This firmer tendency was induced by preparations for yearend requirements in the money market.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,’’ which appeared in Saturday’s Times; Mrs. Elizabeth Peyre Manning nee Richardson, (1794-1873), was the niece, wife, sister, mother, aunt and grandmother of Governors, all of South Carolina. She was the niece of James Burchell Richardson, Governor 1802-04; the wife of Richard I. Manning, Governor 1824-26; the sister of John P. Richardson, Governor 1840-42; the mother of John L. Manning, Governor 1842-54; the aunt of O. Richardson Jr., Governor 1886-90, and the grandmother of Richard I Manning, Governor 1915-19, Reference—American Historical Society, New York City, contributor of this suggestion. Genian Bank Notes Were Used for Prescriptions—When the German government stabilized the rentenmark (its new currency) at the rate of one new mark equal to one billion old marks, the small 50,000,000 mark banknotes circulating in Germany were worth about 1 cent in American money. As the banknotes were printed on one side only, doctors found it convenient, as well as picturesque, to use the banknotes as prescription blanks. The example I used is a bona fide prescription filled by a German apothecary. Thomas Rutledge—ln April, 1830, Thomas Officer Rutledge laid out and deeded to the public what is known as Old Oak Grove cemetery, in Eimpire township, Illinois.

Perfect Landing Altimeter By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—A new instrument wheih informs the airplane pilot or his distance from the ground in landing on fields obscured by fog or darkness has been perfected by the army air corps and the General Electric Company. Other altimeters cease to be effective near the earth, but the new “sonic altimeter" registers the distance to as little as fifty feet. It is based on the principle of sound waves, the length of time from plane to ground being registered in terms of distance. Charles A. Lindbergh and Lieutenant Albert Hegenberger have tested the new instrument until the army feels, it was made known today, that one of aviation’s most important problems has been solved. Boys Fly to Bimini By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 29.—Edward Wingerter and Joseph Jones, New Jersey boy fliers en route to South America, left today for Bimini planning to remain there tonight and proceed Tuesday to Nassau.

Liverpool was steady at the de-* cline, sinking in accord with the lower Argentine exchange, but being checked by the small world shipments and unfavorable southern hemisphere developments. Shorts Cautious At the opening wheat was % cent low to Vi cent higher; corn was 'jfc to Vt cent higher and oats wete % to ra cent higher. Provisions ivere about steady, but with a weak undertone.

The Buenos Aires market was Vt cent higher near neon The impression prevails that liquidation in wheat has been sufficient for the time being and shorts are not disposed to press the selling side on further declines. Believe Decline Over Professionals appear willing to buy July wheat on weak spots, but Winnipeg July still is 7 cents under Chicago and many traders believe the two must meet before declines will end. Many com traders are of the opinion that the long decline is about over, at least temporarily. The market is beginning to look oversold. An increase in the industrial demand is expected as a result of Secretary Hyde s decision that com sugar products must be so labeled, this being a bullish factor. The liquidation in oats as a *.esult of the weakness in other grains is near its end Prices are very low, around the 1 vels of 1911 and with any aid from corn would go higher.
