NEW YORK, Dec 1.-THE stock market
today was still characterized by the wide
movements in stocks not usually prominent
in the dealings. The sudden awakening into
activity OF these stocks at advancing prices
was accompanied In some cases by deal
rumors.
Here and there were slight signs Of re-
Investment demand, in anticipation OF the
profits to be available for use after the
FIRST Of the year.
In the bond market where It is usually
most marked 1t made no perceptlble Inn

The speculative movement was hating
and irregular The strength tho hrst hour
seemed to be taken advantage of to effect
some distribution Of stocks. and the tone
was dropping thereafter.
The action Of Reading was of large sym
pathetic effect In this result. That stock
after early strength. sold off on reports
that the meeting of the directors to act on
the dividend would be held tomorrow.
Steel to Assign Stock
Attention was attracted by report that
the United States Steel corporation Will as
sign preferred stock for subscription to en-

sharing plan, instead OF common stock, for
which the employees were allowed to sub

 There is little hope for an adj iournment of the convention this afternoon as there is so much business to be attended to. The resolution committee is not ha.f through and many other commit- tees are yet to be heard from. The principal of these is the con- stitutiOnal committee which will report with a new constitution in which Gnuch of the old consti- tuition will Joe eliminated with enl tlrely new substance replacing It
 Tue committee with resolutions to report began with a favorable endorsement on ithe resolution rF;. establishing the lecture bureau. It was left to the executive comm t< tee as to who will lbe he.ecturer or lecturers, as more than one gre provided EOr in case of emer- gonCy. by the resolution.
 Another resolution which was acted upon fay yorably was that to allow locals which have become suspended to be reinStated with in 90 days There are a number of lOca.s which will take advant. a ge of this action and which have for some time been trying to get back into the union.
 For several years there has been an agitation in favor of cot+ ton bagging and this took the form of a resolution commttec thls morning. It asks every ginner Tn the State to use cotton bap,- glng on GOtton bales and will re,. qulre the loca.s to make the dt- mand and see that the members of the union use cotton instead ot 'burlap 6acks. The resolution is intended to create all the de- mand for cotton goods possible. When the convention adjourhed at noon the delegates were arr gulng with might and main ur(. on the proposition of establishing In Little Rock a stock brokerage and commission business to hant. de the produce of the members of the union. The discussion on this subject will be resumed after noon, when the installation of officers is completed.

VERNA GREEN DROWNED.

The following account of the drowning of Verna Green, son Of Rev. and Mrs, C J Green taken from the Philadelphia Siftingd Heard will Toe read with grief by the many friends of the family in Prescott, where Rev. Green served as pastor of the Methodist church several years ago;
 One of the most horrible hart penings possible was witnessed by the writer in the drowning of the young man Verna Green in Ouachita river on last Thursday afternoon and the horror of the situation was added to when we realized that a young man in al the vitality of youth was drown- ing in the sight of a dozen people with several good swimmers there and it was impossible to save him.
 The drowning happened just bacck of Ouachita College. The young man had gone down to the river by himself and was in swini ming just above the swift place with Jesse Ross when a party of young people who were going in bathing reached the river.
 Nerna Green was. the son and only child of Rev and Mrs, c, J
 ir9en of Conway, their daughter having d,ed several months ago. He was here visiting his aunt, Mrs. Graves

trying TO the skin OF the hands TO put
them IN hot suds and water and then

Those who do their own work should
be careful of their hands, net because
