Unwonted Activities
Indicate Movement
On Kaiser's Part

Reliable circles declare the pres
ence in Amerongen Of visitors from
Germany to the kaiser is connected
with the plans for the future resi-
dence of the former emperor. Dis
cussions are said to be in profiress
for the purchase of a property in
Holland, lying in secluded spot
within twenty miles of Utrecht, but
nothing definite has yet been decided.
DR.. Kriege, of the German foreign
ton of the former monarch's private
property, is understood to have
brought a report to ,Amerongen that
the German government intends to
deduct considerable sum as taxation
for unearned increment. The amount
is variously reported at from one to
twenty million marks.
Frienrich Won Berg, former chief
Of the imerial' civil cabinet, is said
to have come to Amerongen to give
herr Hohepzollern the benefit of his
expert advice, as he is thoroughly
acquainted with the erstwhile rulers
affairs.
Other German officials have been
busiIy engaged with the ex-kaiser.
Observers are of the opinion that
some movement is afoot, as the SER
wants around the castle were chang

lice in order to prevent people from
standing about. The village telegraph
office, which heretofore has been open
for government purposes until II
o'clock at night, hereafter will be
closed at :730, while the staff has
been reduced.
A league of German officers Fin Ber-

the demand by the allies for the for

most humilitating of all conditions"

Defeat of Treaty
Does Not Disturb
The Stock Market
Covering by Shorts Brings
About Upturn in Prices
When Pressure of Liqui-
dating Sales Lessons

peace treaty had little effect on the the
stock market yesterday. The apa-
thetic reception of the news from
Washington was no doubt due
largely to the fact that some such
result had been widely expected
and perhaps discounted in the recent
break. There was at first some dis
position to take pessimistic view, and
in the early trading prices receded a
little under pressure of considerable
selling. But this selling was largely
in the nature of professional drive
against prices and really added strength
to the technical position. When it was
found that liquidation, instead of in
creasing, was, If anything, becoming
smaller in volume. the decline ended
abruptly.
1t was evident yesterday that the
snort interest had reached considerable
proportions. When the early selling
movement had subsidized prices advanced
easily, despite the absence of important
public buylng-a common occurrence
IN an oversold market. The covering
OF short sales, once under way. continu-
ed with increasing vigor until the end
OF the session and caused rather sharp
rally toward the close. AS prices began
| to advance, some professional buying
for the rise developed and this contrib
uted to the markets strength. Gains ran
as high as Is points in the volatile
specialties. but the average advance
was not great and the market as a
whole was uneXcitinC.
Money again exerted a strong in
fiuence on the market, this time a
favorable one. Call loans opened and
renewed at 10 per cent, at which rate
the bulk of the demand was satisfied
Later the rate dropped to per cent,
the lowest point touched since the Fed
eral Reserve Bank began to put
pressure on speculation. Traders re-
garded the cheapening of money as an
indication Of substantial Improvement
in the banking position. This naturally
served to stimulate short covering.
lhere is no expectation in Wall Street,
however, that the rate will remain low
II there should be any material increase
IN the volume of trading on the long
doubtless would be followed quickly
by an advance in the demand loan rate.
Wall Street opinion on the probable
effects of the defeat of the treaty
varied widely. A good many financiers
ana business men were inclined to re-
gard 1t as factor of minor Importance
as far as the immediate future is con-
cerned. They point out that the only
eHects on domestic business would be
IN the nature Of reflection of the eff
fects on foreign trade, and assert that
export business is already slumping
badly. On the other hand, some author
ltles held that ratification of the treaty
would have opened the way for i'm
provement in foreign trade, for which
the outlook now admittedly is not en-
couraging.
The exchanges were extremely weak
Tor time, sterling bills selling below
81 Tor the first time in history. There
was 1alriy substantial recovery from
the low level.

General Motors
Plans TO Issue
10 Shares for One

Recapltalizatlon plans of the Cen
eral- Motors Corporation contemplate
the authorization of 50000.000 shares
of no par value and the issuance of ten
shares of the new stock in exchange
for each of the 1,480,000 common shares
OF $100 par now outstanding
In announcing the proposed readjust-
ment yesterday William C. Durant,
president, stated that a special meet
been called for November 26 to amend
the certificate of incorporation so that
the suggested changes may be made CT
fectlve. 1t was reported in the fnan-
cial district that in addition to making
provision for the exchange of ten
shares of new stock for one of old the
directors would also recommend that
substantial block of the new stock
be offered to stockholders at S35 a
for the present stock. N This issue
closed at 1925 X on the Stocl Exchange
yesterday, net advance Of 1875 points
over the last sale on Wednesday. The
proposed new stock sold uD TO S3S on
the curb on a when, as and if issued"
basis, and closed at $34.

corporation was organized under the
laws OF Delaware on October 13, 1875,
tive times, bringing the total authorized
increase up from $82, 2,6O0,O 900 to $500.

TO the common stock there is at present
outstanding s19,671 900 preferred stock
and S29,175,30O debenture stock. The
current rate of dividends on the iunior
shares is II per cent
When the proposed capital readiust-
ment has been made effective the Gen
eral Motors Corporation Will have q
greater number Of common shares than
any other industrial concern in The
world: The United States Steel Cor
poration, now the leader in this re-
spect, has 5,OS3,025 shares outstanding
OF the par value of 800 each.
HroSs business of the General Mo
TORS companies is now said to be run
ninc at the rate Of $500 600 600 IN
nually, and predictions are made that
by the end of another year the volume
OF orders will have been doubled. The
pa,ens company expects to pay TO the
government this year S2S, 900 coo m
taxes. and sfter payment of interest
on the outstanding debentures and
payment Of preferred dividends it is
omclally estimated that earnings for
the common will be equivalent to an
proximately $50 share.

Crucible Tax Muddle

Chairman Wilkinson's announce
ment that the Crucible Steel Company
had paid additional excess profits taxes
to the Internal Revenue Department as
the result Of certain alleged irregu-
larities found in the compilations of
the returns before the recent entrance
Of Mr.. Wilkinson into Crucible's af-
fairs was a development concerning
which there had been no Wall Street
leak. True, there have been many ru-
mors of a fight on for control, and
these were later borne out by the cleo
tion of a new chairman and several
new directors. The effect of the dis
closures concerning taxes accompanied
by a reassuring statement from the
new chairman that mo stockholdcr
need suffer an unnecessary loss by the
sale of his holdings" was sharp rise
in the stock, which opened 5 points up.

General Motors Climbs Again

The excited advance in General Mo-
tors yesterday, following the announce
ment of President Durant that spe-
cial meeting Of directors had been
called to adopt a proposed recapitall-
zation program, by which ten shares OF
new no par value stock is to be ex-
changed for one of old, was regarded
by some market observers as indcat-
ing that there is an extended short in
terest in the stock. 1t was said that
while it dropped back in the early trad
ing to 3O4 the buying seemed to be
much better than the selling. The up
ward movement was accelerated by re-
ports that buying orders were coming
in from Wilmington. In the recent
break General Motors got down below
280, and it has since recovered more
than as points OF, its recent loss. At the
height of the bul1 market the stock got
