12 ¥ AGTIVITY ON CURB ADVANCES PRICES; Electrification Plans of Rail- roads and Other News Affects Market. BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 12—The floor of the curb exchange today pre- sented a scene of excitement and con- fusion. Following Saturday’s hectic session, when the ticker ran 40 min- utes late. large buying orders had ac- | cumulated over the week end and werc | thrown upon the market at the outset. After these had been executed new buy- ing continued to pour in, with the re- sult that prices were bid up spectacu- larly. Practically all the groups were rep- resented at one time or another in the upturn, among the oils Standard of Kentucky was the sensation, advancing 12 points to a new high before realiz- ing made itself felt. Ohio Oil and Standard of Ohio followed along, both reaching new peaks. i Electrification of plans of the various railroads, expansion of operations and in the case of the holding companies the discounting of the price apprecia-! tion which already has taken place in subsidiary companies, were incentives for the demand fo utility _issues. Northeastern Power felt the effect of i profit-taking, following the recent sharp advance, but the reaction w negli- gible. St. Regis Paper, which owns a substantial stock interest in the former company, reacted sympathetically after establishing a new top. American Gas & Electric went forward almost to its best. Buffalo, Niagara and Eastern was another favorite, up 6 points to a new high. In point of activity De Forest Radio «as a feature, opening on a block of 26,300 shares at 2475, as compared with Saturday’s final of 27% It failed to maintain all the improvement, however. New highs also were marked up in Co- lumbia Graphophone, General Fire- proofing, Filene, General Mills, Gran- ite City Steel, Southern Asbestos, Mas- sey-Harris, Radio-Keith-Albee and Hiram Walker. In the mining division Newmont was higher, but others inclined to do little. ‘The upturn in Central American Mines, ‘was halted, but no weakness developed. Baltimore Exchanges Closed. BALTIMORE, November 12 (Spe- cial).—The Baltimore Stock Exchange, Grain Exchange, banks’ Chamber of Commerce, large industrial plants and many business houses are closed today in observance of Armistice day, which is a legal holiday in Maryland. Brokerage houses, however, are open for the accomodation of clients who have commitments on the New York exchange. CRUDE RUBBER IMPORTS.

For many years an office holder and a leader in local civic affairs, Sawyer now has practically withdrawn from these phases of public life except to serve as trustee for philanthropic funds. Looking back on his long and busy life, Sawyer declares that an ideal for which man_should strive is to be able to *“control his own actions.” There is such a thing as working too hard, he admits, but others are too lazy. He could not, he says, have con- sidered he had done a day's work after six or eight hours' labor, and he does not believe people today are working as hard as in his earlier time. His advice to the rising generation is simple: “They should undertake to do some- thing that will count. They should go to bed early and get plenty of sleep if they are to act in the world next day as men and women. They should go to bed and be rested and prepared for work. If studying, they out to learn the lesson, learn it so well it will never depart from them.” Sawyer has required a doctor only once in his life, when at the age of 40 he contracted measles. He has prac- ticed moderation in eating and has re- frained from smoking and drinking in- | toxicating liquor, he says. | PECAN GROWERS SEE HARVEST OF “NUGGETS” “Gold on Trees” Is Slogan Adopted by Farmers in Oklahoma and Texas, ARDMORE, Okla. (#).—Pecan trees are rising skyward in Southern Okla- homa and Northern Texas, reaching for the glories of the oil derricks. Growing of the yellow nuts is urged by bankers, farm agents and others in- terested in diversified agriculture. “Gold on trees” is the slogan of the pecan_enthusiasts With nuts bringing 30 cents a pound, % | there is a golden harvest in many com munities. Annual shipments from Ard- more alone total almost 100 carloads. Pecans grew wild in the territorial days of Oklahoma, but many of the native trees have been chopped down. The stumps, however, have been used for grafting of cultured varieties, and some native groves have been thinned out and developed into profitable pro- duction. A 60-acre tract has produced $3500 worth of native nuts in one season. Oklahoma pecan growers have band- ed together in a State assoclation, which strives to improve pecan culture and to encourage consumption of the 3 SUBSIDIZED OPERAS FAIL IN FRANGE Histrionic Institution in Paris, Begun Two Centuries Ago, Is Now Tottering. PARIS (#).—France's four subsidized operas and national theaters have failed to make high art pay. The government must give them more money, the man- agers say, or they will be forced to adopt commercial methods. For two and a half centuries the Opera and the Comedie-Francaise, and for lesser periods the Odeon and the Opjera-Comique, have maintained stock companies and produced a specified number of the classics and new works each year. The seat charges have been regulated, actress’ friends of powerful politicians often have had to be em- ployed and government officials usually had plenty of passes. Nevertheless, the four houses prospered until the ‘war, maintaining the best art standards in drama and music. Subsidies Reduced. Subsidies of a third of a million dol- lars before the war have been reduced through depreciation to one-fifth that amount. It is said the four houses must have the real equivalent of their pre- war allowances to fulfill their artistic | aspirations. ’ All four have the use of their build- ings without charge, but they pay the same taxes as other theaters. Their expenses for upkeep- and equipment, however, are higher because relatively rich staging is expected of the gov- ernment_houses. The pay roll of these houses is a sore point. Actors of great reputation get less than minor players in small theaters, The rank and file of the companies do not get enough to live in a modest boarding house. Pay Wages in Fame. ‘They have to supplement their salaries with outside revenue by teach- ing or society entertaining. They are expected to take fame as their wages. ‘The two operas relieve the strain by “guest” performances, which are merely by a singer who has the money to satisfy his or her vanity. And as the operas have no real competition they usually play to farily full houses. They are unable, however, to engage any noted outside artists or to produce enough new operas in a proper man- ner to satisfy musical authorities or to maintain France's prestige. | CHINA NATIONALISTS LAY IMPERIAL GHOST Favorite Peking Haunt of “Spirit” Is Fuel Pile, Now Open to Public. PEKING (#).—China’s “imperial” ghost” has been upset by the sweep of Nationalism. Its favorite Peking haunt, a park for centuries trod only by occupants of the dragon throne, has been opened to the public. Coal Hill, so called because of the belief that it was formed by the early Mongol dynasties, who stored hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel as a war measure, and then covered them up with earth, has been taken over by the municipal authorities, who will ad- mit all classes to the several wooded acres upon payment of a few coppers. | The hill, 210 feet high, ornamented by kiosks and temples built by Em- peror Chia Tsing in the sixteenth cen- tury, is the highest point in the city and stands just north of the “Forbid- den city.” One of the most interesting sights of the park is a weather-beaten tree from which, history records, Chung Chen, the last of the Ming emperors, hanged himself in despair in 1682 because his army was not fit to meet the invading Manchus. Near the base of the trunk remains an iron chain placed there soon after the incident as a sign of condemnation toward the tree for its sinful participation in the ‘“killing” of the Emperor. It is around this tree, say those who believe in ghosts, that the shade of Emperor Chung Chen has stalked un- disturbed, night after night, and rat- tled the chain at midnight. when worldly affairs were not to his liking. But the new government does not be- lieve in apparitions, and has invited the people to go to the park and see for themselves that the ghost story is a myth. GARCIA TO BE HONORED. Cuban Statue to Be Neighbor to That of Roosevelt. SANTIAGO DE CUBA (#).—Gen. Ca- lixto Garcia, who protected the landing of Roosevelt’s “Rough Riders” at Dai- quiri, and who later fought at his side in the assault against San Juan Hill, will be honored by Cubans and Amer- icans when a statue is placed in Roose- velt Park in a few weeks. ‘There has been a movement on fool for some time to change the name of the preserve to Garcia Park, but instead it will be renamed Victory Park and as such will honor both heroes. The likeness of “Teddy” at one end of the park was placed there by the Roosevelt Memorial Association in con- Jjunction with the Rotary Club of San. :lago and the Rough Riders’ Associa- ion. New Bond Issues NEW YORK, November 12.—An issue of $4,400,000 Standard Telephone Co. of Delaware first lien collateral trust 5!2 per cent bonds will be offered shortly by a syndicate made up of West & Co., Pychon & Co. and Paul C.

It #s understood that negotiations are about, completed for the sale of an issue of $17,500,000 in 6 per cent bonds of the German Savings Banks and Clear- ing Association to Harris, Forbes & Co. Mount Everest. It is sald to be doubtful if human en- durance will ever make it possible for Everest to be climbed, although it is possible that Mallory and Irvine who lost their lives while climbing some- where above 28,000 feet were near the 29,000-foot summit, Man can climb, although with difficulty, at an altitude of about 28,000 feet. Man can, too, live for some days at altitudes above 23,000 feet. These facts are proved by the Mount Everest expedition in 1922 and 1924, Before making future at- tempts on Everest it has been suggested that the climbers should be trained by spending a few hours daily in decom- pression chamber: English Wesleyans forbid politics in their churches.,, CHANGES IN STYLES AID LEATHER TRADE American Output Increases Rap- idly as Depression In Industry Wanes. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 12.—The United States will supply more patent leather to the world this year than ever before in history. Americans will buy more patent leather shoes, according to August H. Vogel, leather producer, than any other nation, but the American product will fill the demand of every other country, including British India and China. This is bringing an increased volume of business to the section of the leath- er industry which tans upper leathers and accounts for nearly half the cattle hides of the nation. Output of upper side leather has gained 370 per cent in the last nine years as a consequence and 1928 will be the industry’s biggest year. James Whitcomb Riley's sun- tanned bare-legged boy has revolutio ized the tanning and leather industry of America, outside the patent leather field. That is because the barelegged sun-tanned boy has been followed by the barlegged sun-tanned girl. At the style show here the bare-legged sun- burned colors will be displayed ex- tensively for women's wear in the Spring of 1929 and the tanners will exhibit some remarkable shades in calf, kid and reptile leathers. The tanners “will confer then with the makers and designers of shoes and this meeting, which is still in the na- ture of an experiment, having been held only once before, will determine the styles and colors to be worn during the hot weather of 1929. There is to- day closer co-operation throughout the leather industries from the producer of hides to the maker of shoes than ever before, and the guesswork is gradually being squeezed out. U. S.

Yours for a real work test NOVEMBER 1928, 12, CAPITAL STOCK ISSUES ARE NOW AT HIGH MARK Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 12—Not in years have stock issues been employed for the purpose of raising new capital to the present extent. This is a natural result of the public. interest in equities rather than in fixed oblgations and one of which corporation borrowers and their bankers are taking full advantage. Figures that have been compiled cov- ering October financing indicates that the output of stocks by industrials and public utilities in that month was near- ly twice as large as the amount of new bonds authorized. Some of this is due to new stock which several of the large corporations such as Montgomery Ward, have offered to their shareholders. Most of 1t represents a form of borrowing adopted to meet the demands of the times. It includes not only common stock, but preferred stock issues, al- though the latter frequently confer on the holder the privilege of at some time converting it into common. The stock issuing tendency has been strong throughout 1928. months of the year the aggregate of such issues was nearly $3,000,000,000 compared with $3,314,833,000 of bonds. Industrial companies sold a greater amount of stock than of bonds. In the case of the public utilities bonds ex- ceeded stocks by $300,000,000 and rail- roads issued four and a half times more bonds than stock. Steel Output Declines. g NEW YORK, November 12 (#)—A moderate decline in steel production is reported in the Youngstown area fol- lowing the record output last month. Steel ingot production is 83 per cent of capacity, with 42 open-hearth fur- naces meiting against 86.7 per cent, with 46 furnaces melting in preceding week and full 53 furnaces melting se eral weeks ago.
