LORD NORTHCLIFFE
REPORTED VERY Low

London. Aug. 4.-(By the Associat-
ed Press THE serious tone Of the
bulletins issued today regarding the
condition Of Viscount Northcliffe. tho
noted British publisher. gave a strong
impression that there IS very little
hope for his recovery. While the bull
letins are very vague concerning the
nature Of his illness, it is believed to
be the result Of complete breakdown
brought on from hard work and ex-
element which he has undergone for
the past year or more. He spent only
three weeks in his London office and
was obliged TO drop-his work and go
to Switzerland for rest. Nobody has
seen him since his return except his
PHYSICIANS and nearest relatives.

Cotton Changes Slight
In HOliday-like Trade

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-Business
in cotton was of holiday character
today and changes in prices were
unimportant. being swayed by small
orders either way. After q firmer
start values developed an easier
trend, owing to recessions at Liver
pool and scattered selling by the
South.
The market opened steadier at an
advance Of. four to eight points.
The list later acted firm and ad-
vanced about fifteen points over
last nights close. where 1t met con-
siderable realizing. After the first
hour the market resolved itself into
a narrow local affair. Prices eased
from the best under some scattered
liquidation. Most operators simply
marked time, waiting for over-holi-
day developments. The selling was
absorbed on a. decline to 29.16 for
January. or a net decline Of about
ten points. and the close was steady
at a net advance Of six points to a
loss Of two points.

STOCK MARKET RISES
UNDER LEADERSHIP OF.
STANDARD OIL GROUP
Efforts Of Shorts to Get Back
Stocks Results in Gains Of
from I to 8 Points.
By BRoADAN WALL.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Impres-
save leadership of Standard OIL
shares took the stock market to
higher levels today. Gains Of from
one to three points registered the
efforts Of shorts to get back stocks
they had sold in the break. An
attempt was made early to unsettle
confidence by breaking the Erie
shares, the common at one time
showing a loss of more than one
point. The low OF sb was within
two points of the years bottom
Persistent rumors that Erie would
70 into receivership brought en-
phatic denials by Fred d. Under
wood. president. and caused a late,
rally. Some hesitancy developed
IN the general list in the early
afternoon because of profit-taking
but offerings were readily absorbed
and the upward swing was again
IN full progress at the close. Little
attention was paid to the rise in
call money from to 5 per cent.
Sterling touched its high Of the
preceding day but later reacted.
Francs were lower. Wheat con-
rumors that bankers favored Euro
pean credits to facilitate wheat pur-
chases.
STANDARD OILS.
Wall Street heard that the split
ting up OF Standard Oil shares was
desired by John d. Rockefeller who
wanted a market on which to sell
some stock to provide additional
money for gifts to such institutions
rs the Rockefeller Foundation and
the Rockefeller Institute.
Kennecott led the copper group.
A dividend at the rate of 50 a
share is expected, following action
by the Mother Lode coalition board
next Tuesday. Latter's earnings
are the greatest in\history. Nego
tiations for consolidation of Ana
conda and Chile Copper are declared
to be nearing completion. Officials
Of both companies are reticent. Chile
Copper convertibles were active.
A stock dividend by General Elec-
tric is said to be contemplated by
the board and accounts for the
strength of the shares
< Middle States Dividend.
The big short interest in Middle
States Oil was given food for thought
when the company announced an ex-
ira dividend of three shares of Oil
Lease Development stock for every
share of Middle States held. Shorts
were wondering how they could OBJ
tain the Oil Lease stock to deliver
IN the absence OF a market for the
shares. This matter will undoubted-
ly be placed before the stock ex-
change authorities for a ruling. The
street was also puzzled as to the
value of the Oil Lease stock.
