PROFESSIONALS IN
 EVIDENCE AGAIN
 IN STOCK MARKET
Easy Money and Reduced Tension in Foreign Ex-
 change Stimulate N Trading
By AuocIatsa Pr.ss

FFoeS'ahou
 New York, November 25.-Trading on thet stock exchange today was again rel atively all and professional, there being little evidence of the public participation which succeeded the recent reaction.
 The market drifted aimlessly but main ly upward, especially among those isseus which experienced the greatest shrink age in the several liquidating months of the past fortnight.
 There were exceptions to the advance of which rails, coppers and local utill- ties were the most conspicuous examples.
 Reasons for the backwardness of these broups were so obvious as to excite little comment.
 Easy money, reduced tension in the for eign exchange situation and other, fac- tors which served in the price readJust- ment of the last few days were again operative. but in more moderate degree
 Advices touching upon the coal confer ence in Washington were less hopeful Tn character, but the various coal carrying shares reflected this only in minor meas ure Pools seemed to have little diff culty in advancing the motors and their subsidiaries, also steels, equipments, oils tobaccos and feathers. General motors were the outstanding feature at an ex- treme rise of 2s points, gains elsewhere ranging from 3 to 10 points.
 Several ordinarily obscure or dor mant industrials in the steel division dis played unusual activity and strength, but many gains suffered partial or entire cancellation on realizing for profits in the later dealings.
 The entire bond market was reaction ary, several new low records being made by Liberty issues, with extreme weak ness in local fractions.
 Total sales (par value) aggregated $22,- 6oo,0 an unusually heavy turnover. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Over Private Wires
Duqgan & Bouden Letter

New Orleans, November 25.-A fresh display of bullish sentiment carried the cotton market up for fairly wide gains in the early trading today, but the eagerness of longs for their profits caused reactions later. The market acted as if it was carrying consid- erable long interest, the better tone of foreign exchange helped values and there was the usual favorable long in- terest, the better tone of foreign ex- change helped values, and there was the usual favorable talk concerning the coal strike. Liverpool was very much better than due and sent over extreme ly buliish accounts concerning the state of trade in Manchester The mar ket finally closed at moderate net gains The department of agriculture announces that the annual estimate of the crop will be issued at 1 o'clock, New Orleans time, on Thursday, De- cember 11.-Duggan & Bouden.

Sugar Market


 New York, Novembe 25.-There was no change in old crop sugar, which is quoted at FPS for centrifugal to the re- finer. Latest advices from Cuba said that the weather continues favorable for the growing crop and that two cen trals are now grinding, against one a week ago. Receipts for the entire island of Cuba this week were larger than the previous week, while exports were smaller There were no purchases re- ported by the board. In new crops no purchases were reported and while the market continues firm. offerings were more liberal for some. time past. Moth ing new has developed in connection with government control of sugar, al though it seems to be the impression in trade that the regulation will by no means be as complete as last sea- son. The market for refined was un- changed with no relief in sight. Prices were unchanged at 9c for fine granu- lated

Reliable Method of Hair Cure

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If We are very
careful in hair washing. we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff. excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trifEng expense
by simply dissOlving a teaspoonful
Of canthrox (Which you can get at
any druggist's), in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead
Of just the top OF the head This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling

spotlessly clean. soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness Of natural color, also a
ilufftness which makes it seem
much heavier than il is. After can
