NS, HINCHLIFF SAYS HUSBAND STIL ALIYE (Continued from First Page) It broke one strut of the machine and another strut cracked. The ~an- ves was tearing. One plug in the engine was missing. “The more | went on in the direc- tion of the North Amegican con- tinent the more 1 got inte the storm. 1 knew then at midnight that it would be impssible to reach Amer- ica and then thought of the Leew.rd Islands. (He explains later that he meant islands situated to the lee- ward, namely the Azores). There- fore at midnight, 1 deliberately changed my course to due south. T felt the more I went south the more 1 should be able to get out of the siorm. “We were tossed about by these awful whirlwinds in all directions. At 3 a. m. the machine came down on the water within sight of land, the utterianst rocks of the Azores. I was hoping that the tide would carry the machine on the rocks | ut instead it carried the machine fur- ther away. I got free of the ma- ehine. Miss MacKay went down with the machine. “It had been my intention to reach the islands but it was impos- sible. 1 trust in the near future some parts of the machine will be found near these rocks.” RADIO BOUNDS UP TONEW HIGH MARK (Continued from First Page) at the opening. This revolutionary action was de- cided upon when yesterday's tape at the close of the market was two hours and 44 minutes behind. By carrying only the prices on sales it is believed the ticker can be speeded up from 25 to 50 per cent Total sales of ‘ndividual stocks will be given to press associations and newspapers two or three times daily. Total sales yesterday reached 6.811.- 900 shares in contrast to the previ- ous high of 6.714,000 made last Fri- day. Attracted by the booming market hundreds of visitors have been thronging to the financla) district daily, swelling the crowds of em-| ployes and traders and sgraining the | restaurants and customers rooms of brokerage offices to capacity. Many | brokerage offices have removed the | | trade chairs from their customers’ offices and those that remain are generally held by one person all day—the on: whe arrived first in the jammed almost to the point of su focation. Hire Extra Help Restaurants have hired extra help in an effort to mest the demand but their floor space being limited they have been unable to install more tu- bles or chairs and many patrons have been forced to eat standing. Whole suites and floors of hotels have been taken by brokerage firms for their employes who do not wish to waste the time going to and froms their homes. The lights in Wall Street burn all night, clerical forcea working extra hours in relays in an effort 1o catch up with the book- keeping necessary to keep thel firms' accounts up with the market. Ask Closing From many quarters came a de- ,mand for a Saturday closing of the exchange to allow brokerage em- ployes a chance to catch their breath. This action was resorted to last spring when the volume of trading was much less than it is at the present time. 8o far the ex- change governors have given no iu- dication that they Intend to grant the request. Most of the wire fa- cilities are taken on a six day week basis. it was pointed out. and many ifirms dislike to pay high tolls on an {idle wire and oppose any more holidays.

PRENOSIL ' Associated Press Pinancial Editor New York, Nov. 21 UM—Specula tion in stocks continued at a frantic Pace in today’s market but the price movement displayed increasing ir- regularity. With trading demoraliz- ed by the long delays en the ticker which was an hour late early this ' afternoon, there was a more general | disposition to cut down long com- mitments on the part of large and small operators. Call money continued in supply at the renewal rate of | cent, indicating that either stocks | were being purchased outright or that large loans were being arranged through private and corporate sources. Most bankers are of the {cpinion that the character of recent | speculation suggests marginal trad- ing although it is freely admitted that the scarcity in the floating sup- ply of many high priced fssues fa- cilitates the staging of advances | such as have taken place in the last | few days. H Sale of a stock exchange seat was | arranged today at the record break- ing price of $525,000. an increase of $30,000 above the previous record. | Radio was again a spectacular per- former in today’s market, soaring 21 points to a new high record at 379, or nearly 300 points above the year's tow. Union Carbide, Pittsburgh Coal, National Biscuit, Keith-Albee-Or- pheum pfd., Wright Aeronautical, and Midland Steel Products pfd sold 4 to 81 points higher. Oils were in brisk demand at rising prices. THE MARKET AT 2:30 P. M. - (Furnished by Putnam & Co.) High lLow Close 236 282 2 75 112% lentiful Al Che & Dye Am Ag Che pd American Can Loco ....
