Traders Welcome Exchanges
Opening. But First Days
Business Is Light.
NO SERIOUS LIQUIDATION:

served When It Came to In
active Securities.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-The New
York stock Exchange reopened its
doors today for the first time in nearly
four months to permit limited trading
in bonds. The conservative element
had successfully resisted aA efforts to
renew business even in tentative form
until home investment conditions re-
fiected some justification for such
action.
1t was evident, however, that the re-
sumption of operations, even under the
rigid terms imposed which included
the establishing of minimum prices,
q exercised marked effect upon sentl-
ment throughout the financial district.
There was an unusually large attend
ance of members, and the sound of the
opening gong was echoed by loud and
prolonged cheering from the trading
floor which was taken up by the visit
ors in the galleries.
Traders Are Wary.
Trading all through the brief session
reflected hesitation and timidity on the
part of investors and brokers. There
resulted number of material declines
from July 80 prices, with a few gains,
chiefly in the industrial division of
the bond list. At no time was there
any movement suggesting serious
LIQUIDATION, and o. "reisn selling ON

Minimum Prices Waived.
Il was evident from the disparity be-
tween July so prices and some re-
corded today that the exchange au-
thorities had virtually waived mini
mum prices in a few of the inactive is

two other railroad companies lost from

1t is significant of the attitude of
the exchange that minimum prices are
subject to change from day to day.
In n word, today's minimum may be
lowered on Monday, and with each
passing day the list will undergo
general readjustment.

The greatest problem of parents in

will prefer to stay indoors rather than
seek enjoyment outside. i
Every growing child requires good.
healthy amusement, and plenty of it.
4 liberal share of this should be
supplied outdoors in vigorous play
and exercise; but there must also be
inducements at home which will pre-
vent the little ones from feeling that
enjoyments and pastimes are only to
be had outside.
Books are read and laid aside Aft

gone. The same is true of ordinary

hours of indoor amusement. The
Jumbo Circus provides brain exercise
and ingenuity as well as merriment.
Above all, a circus interests children
more than anything one could pro-

made a gain of s1,141.3S400 in busi-

and that no other company made so

That this is not the accidental hap
