higher at s1as to s1sc. and although this de-
livery received considerable support from the
leading bulls, and notwithstanding the sharp
rally in December, the price held barely steady
the early part Of the session. due to persistent
selling by local traders. Reports of fine
weather in Argentina, comparatively small

statement for the same period, which showed
an increase in net earnings OF all the compa-

closed in other statements OF earnings recently
has been for increases in gross earnings to be
mostly or wholly wiped out by enlarged oper-
ating expenses. The reports OF gross earnings
for the third week in November thus far pub
