Heavy accumulation of week-end buying orders started the session with an active opening, in which a number of 10,000-share transactions were re- corded. The ticker fell behind nearly 20 minutes during the morning. but began to catch up as trading slack- ened somewhat toward midday. Call money renewed unchanged at 12 per cent and was in good supply at level. The fact that the year-end credit strain appears to be passing without a more serious flurry in the call money market was a stimulus to bullish enthusiasm. The banks had strengthened their positions last week and found practically no accasion for further calling of loans today. A wave of “tax selling,” which was expected to begin today, as sales, save those for cash, will carry over into 1929, was moderate and quickly ab- sorbed in a rush to grab stocks at their present levels, in expectation of heavy reinvestment demand resulting from the year-end interest and divi- dend disbursements. There was little in the day’s news to affect the market. A further increase in the price of export copper stimulat- ed buying of copper shares. A stock exchange seat sold for $575,000, which is $15,000 over the last sale but $20,000 under the recent peak price. By products coke shot up about 17 Points to a new high price, but lost about half its gain later. The buying of this issue was accompanied by stock split-up and merger rumors. Abra- ham and Straus mounted more than 14 points to a new peak, while indus- trial Rayon and Rossia insurance made 11-point gains. General Motors was again carried across the 200-mark in a gain of more than 5 points, while St. Joseph lead, National Supply, International Tele- Phone, Columbia Carbon, and Com- monwealth Power mounted 5 to 8 Points to new peaks. A number of coppers, utilities and rails broke into new high ground. Bethlehem steel sold up more than 2 points to 87, a new top. The motors were generally in demand, in antic- ipation of the automobile show bullish demonstration in this group. There were a few soft spots, result- ing largely from profit-taking. Mont- gomery Ward and Radio opened from 2 to 3 points lower, but made up their losses before midday. National Bellas Hess lost nearly 7 points, while Eisen- lohr and National Tea were heavy, and General Electric yielded 3 points. Successful pool operations were un- der way in Many issues, resulting in an unusual assortment of large ad- vances in the late afternoon. Copper shares continued in the forefront of the rise, ably backed by brisk buying of the motor, merchandise and public utilities, all of which changed hands in round amounts. The closing was strong. Total sales were about 5,000,000 shares. FARGO LIVESTOCK Fargo, N.

Tucker was brought to the peni- tentiary recently to begin serving a life term for the murder of Hans Bjone, Verona banker. Saturday, howevcr, the attorney general's office decided that, under the law, he may demand that he be | permitted to remain in the custody of {the sheriff while the supreme court \is considering his appeal from the judgment of conviction on the mur- der charge. Jim Morris, first assistant attorney general, notified Tucker that he could choose the place where he is to be \imprisoned during that time.

The sheriff of La ; Moure county will be notified to come jand get the prisoner. ORD TO INAUGURATE FIVE-DAY WEEK PLAN | Detroit, Dec. 31—(?)—Announce- ment by the Ford Motor company of a plan to employ 36,000 additional ;men s0 its factories can be placed on a basis of “six days for machines and five days for men” is believed here to presage not only the 20 per cent increase in production which it prom- ises imtnediately but another social welfare experiment by Henry Ford. | While the plan is designed prim- arily to remedy the economic defects of his most notable innovation along | that line, the five day week, it is be- lieved, he hopes with an increased Production to abolish permanently all | night work. Employment of the great additional }force planned will be completed by | March 1, the announcement said, and production of the model a Ford will be increased from 33,500 a week to 40,200. Only the factory here will be af- fected immediately but it is under- stood assembly plants in other cities will operate on the same plan when Production has sufficiently increased. Mr. Ford had only one sentence of comment upon the plan. | “A six day week is all right for i machines,” he said, “but a five day week is enough for men.” Boy’s Body Charred in Residence Fire; Six Children Saved (Continued from page one) finishing the interior.

GOES OVER $200,000 MARK IN RECEIPTS OF 1928 Better Agricultural Conditions Probably Reflected, Lund- quist Thinks Post office receipts in 1928 went over the 200,000 mark. Last year they were approximate- ly $3000 under that total, this year they went almost $3300 over. With exact figures for the three quarters and with the total of the final quarter known up almost to the last day, and that portion esti- mated, the 1928 reccipts total $203, 203.66, according to Postmaster Lundquist. Here are the figures of business by quarters for three years: 1926 1927 294. lo" 9 397.69 7,208.42 04.26 40,271.92 41,810.16 178,420.11 197,015.10 203,29: As usual the Bismarck postal re- jceipts are the second largest in the istate, being exceeded only by those jof Fargo. In part this may be trac- ed to the fact that this is the state capital and much of the postal busi- ness comes from the state depart- ments and the State bank. Postmaster Lndquist says the business in 1928 probably reflected better agricultural conditions. With more money to spend, the farmers were good patrons of Bismarck business houses an din this way there was indirect reflection of pros- perity in the post office receipts. The big jump in increased receipts at the office was between the years 1924 and 1925, when the revenue of the local office shot up $28,000. By years since 1927 the receipts of the Bismarck office have been: 1917 é - $112,036.38 1918 . 106,116.82 130,463.76 137,186.17 135,270.20 177,480.18 150,385.28 150,697.00 178,406.20 178,422.11 197,015.10 203,293.66 NEW RESIDENTS 200 Many of New '28 Bismarck Citi- zens Are Heads of Fami- lies, Bureau Says Approximately 200 new adults re- sidents, many of whom are heads of families, moved to Bismarck during 1928, according to the records of the Bismarck and Mandan Credit Bureau.

Bismarck entertained more than a score of conventions dur- ing 1928 which brought hundreds of visitors to the city. A Political Year The year 192R, essentially a political year, was the most eventful year in the history of the state capital. The year was given an eventful send-off early in January by the late Governor Arthur G. Sorlie when he Frank Dallier and James Taylor, |called a special session of the state Northern Pacific Veterans, End Work Jamestown, N. D., Dec. 31.—(AP)—| Frank Dallier and James Taylor, vet- eran employes of the Northern Pa- cific railway here are being retired today aften early a half century of railroad service each. Mr. Dallier who was born in Plattshurg, N. Y., in | 1876, began railroad work as a brake- man on the Vermont Central in 1882. He came to the northwest as brake- man’ for the St. Paul, Manitoba and Minneapolls until 1886 when he went to work for the Northern Pacific. He worked at Brainerd and Fargo until 1895, spent the next five years in business at Jamestown and went back into the service as switchman in 1900. Mr. Taylor was porn in Manches- ter, England, and came to Jamestown in 1882.
