few years with but very few exceptions,
has been by persons who propose to build
homes-the sort of homes that make
community and reflect to the credit of

who have already built homes along the

the remarkable demand for property Is

Prevailed in Yesterdays Stock Mar
Misrepresentation Operated
For Fresh Advance.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE stock
market narrowed into a professional
groove today. The organized party
in speculation took up tire movement
for an advance in Erices where y was
left off on the eve of the elections
Apparently the conviction that profit
taking sales prompted by the election
were cleared up by last weeks opera
lions offered the principal basis Tor
the revived movement.
The scanty offerings of stocks at
any level today went to justify this
assumption and gave fair activity to
the attempt to lift prices. Advances
were accomplished on light transac
tions In the absence of obstacles to
be encountered In the form of heavy
selling orders.
Three stocks, United States Steel,
Union Pacific and Reading, still all
sorbed an overwhelming proportion
of the total dealings Union Pacific
moved into second place at the eX-
pense Of Reading and, in the fret
hours business, actually out-number
ed steel in the number of shares
which changed hands. In the later
stages the trading became languil,
but most of the gains were held
