A Few Advances.

In a few cases stocks closed the day
with an advance from the last previous
days close. but In these cases the morn
ing advance had carried them up too far
for subsequent liquidation completely TO
melt or some special news aided them.
One Of these was Liggett & Myers
which closed above 249. with an advance
of 10 points. This was recorded early in
the day and was retained. Some special
news Is due within the next two days on
Liggett & Myers. Another strong spot
was Fisher Body. which at rs closed
with a gain Of more than points
General Motors, II is reported. has been
angling for stock control of Fisher Body
for some time and is said to have picked
the last hour yesterday as a fine time to
acquire more of the stock. Other stocks
which bore the assaults we'll and which
closed the day with a gain were Ameri-
can Llnseed, with a gain of rs points !;
American Malt and Grain and American
Tobacco. each with IL points to the
good.

Driving Down Prices.

Professional traders were quick to
take advantage of the opportunity for
an assault and drove stocks hard and
fast at the staggering market. The re-
suit was one of the sharpest and swiftest
declines of the year. accelerated by the
uneovering of multitudinous stop loss
orders, the throwing in of many blocks
OF stocks, which came from the dark
recesses of safety deposit boxes. At
the close prices were at about the lowest
point of the day. 1t is a considerable
assault that drives such a security as
United States Steel down from los y
to 100. The Same thing occurred in prac-
tically every stock on the list with even
wider breaks in the highly speculative
specialties SO fast and furious was
the trading at the close that the ticker
was 2Oh minutes behind, which closely
approaches a record. Sales in the last
hour were $4,000 shares. In themselves

II was no surprise to Wall Street and
certainly not to the packers themselves
that the Attorney-Generars department
is preparing to ask them a few timely
questions. That such an investigation
was inevitable has been known for a
long time and the action OF Wilson &
Co.. the only one OF the Big Five quoted
on the Stock Exchage. has reflected
rather accurately this development with
the formal announcement that such &C
tion would be Immediately taken and that
1t would be In the nature of criminal
proceedings on the ground of conspir-
acy, Wilson & Co. dropped some points
at the opening and was in particular
ly vulnerable position In the afternoon
drive, closing the day with a net loss
OF 5is points 1t may be safely said
that the financial position of the COM
pany as reflected In the last earnings
statement shows no warrant for any
such sudden drop and that it may be
attributed largely to the investigation
factor.

Continental Candy.

One of the bright spots in the market
was furnished by a little stranger. Con-
tinentsl Candy, known as a Ryan stock
and which is made up of a part OF the
candy subsidiaries formerly owned by
the Corn Products Refining Company,
was introduced to trading on the big
board after a rather humdrum existence
In the curb market. Trading in the
stock was active, and from it's opening
at 1914 1t advanced to 14M before the
afternoon slump carried II back to 10.
More than 100000 shares were traded
in yesterday. Continental Candy pro-
duced 20,OOo.oO0 pounds of candy last
year, has produced some 1900, 900
pounds thus far this year, and has heavy
bookings for its product. The increased
COZ sumption OF candy caused by prohi-
bition is counted on by the company to
permit its expansion into hcadliner in
the business.

According to a report in Wall Street
yesterday the American Smelling ana
Refining Company plans to reopen its
smelling plant at Valardena, Mexico, in
the immediate future. Situated in the
very hotbed OF revolutionary and bandit
disorders, the plant was allowed to re-
main idle when the smelters at Monte

Matehuala were retired. In arriving at
the decision to start the Valardena

House May Order

army food was expected TO come be-

Republicans prepared a resolu-

same time censuring the war de-

food into the households of Ameri-

Democrats planned TO oppose this
resolution on the ground that the
war department is already dispos-
ing of the supplies. Authors of the
resolution, however, charge the gov
ernment has no extensive plan for
mark citing and can only dispose OF
a comparatively small quantity.
The resolution was framed as a
result of the investigation of the
special house committee on war de-
partment expenditures, which dem
ocrats assert was hasty and unfair
