NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Prices were
higher at the stock market opening
today. u. S. Steel opened at 105B,
unchanged; Sinclair at 43, up ~;
Republic at 117A. up "a; Mexican
Petroleum Els UP IA; International
Paper at 761a, up u; Southern paci-

up 1la: Royal Dutch New York 1ooA
up "a; Studehaker at 108 up A;
United Retail Stores at e2& up Is.
Cash sales continued at frequent In
tervals throughout early trading. The
whole market was inclined to advance
and features were American Wooden,
which during the first half hour sold
near 100; U. S. Rubber above 1856;
American Sugar above lao; Cuba
Cane at So and United Retail Stores
at $685..
The market was decidedly active,
the volume of trading during the first
half hour being the largest of any
session for some time.
The market became runaway af-
fair around IL o'clock and any short
interest that still existed had hard
time covering stocks without bidding
up prices. American Wooden was still
a leader and was taken In thousand
share lots above 160. Tobacco shares
showed more life also, and Tobacco
Products sold within two points OF the
high made on the last move.
Stocks of this class were sold rather
freely Tuesday as result OF reports
that George Whelan planned to sail
for Europe He later denied the
rumor. In the past absence of Whelan
has generally resulted in a bad break
in securities in which he is interested.
Call money renewals at Is percent
had no appreciable effect on the mar
ket and new highs for the day were
reached around noon. American
Wooden shot up to 1853. Motor stocks
were the features with General Motors
UP to 342, Pierce Arrow UP nearly 3
to 500, and Chandler up more than
four. q. S. Rubber made new high
above 1873.
Oil and sugar stocks also were
strong.
Steel shares were the leaders in
the early afternoon. Republic adj
vanced nearly seven points to 1874 and
u. S. Steel went well above LOT, al

Goodbye old fellow, now your race

Kind word at parting. tbs the last l

For all the joys you've brought and

I'll call your grace, messenger from

And sorrows? Yes, you brought them

But still | thank you that they are
