gains were scored by the Depart

Part of the buying in the French
bonds was undoubtedly for specu-

to have come from British invest

Attention was especially directed
to two groups, one the motors the

logical enough in favor OF all that

season OF 1922.
Several Of the leading Cuban Su-
gar companies soon will be making
public the results of this fiscal year
and these reports will tell very
different story from the dismal rec

But. as I'm the case with the Uotor
companies, the sugar trade iSlook-

which affords the motive for the re-

Chicago. Nov. q. Sentiment IN
wheat has not changed snd the
technical position Of the market
was strengthened BY the break OF
yesterday and. this uo1(iing. The
Liverpool cable was not AZ weak
rs expected and this encouraged
bulls to hold on to their lines but
selling by some Of the buyers on
yesterdays break forced out liQui-
dation OF lines on stop loss orders
and also encouraged locals to make
short sales. Commission houses
picked up the wheat on the break
and when shorts tried to cover they
were forced to bid prices higher
than the close of Minday. There
was not much news in circulation.
There, were q number OF revised
estimates OF Australia's exportable
surplus ranging from so to 80 mil

Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFTERNAN.
(CopyFight. 1881

New York, Nov. 21.-Overnight
news of stock dividends and special
cash disbursements by several in
dustrial corporations and expecta-
lions that similar announcements
are still forthcoming, stimulated
buying in special stocks on the curb
exchange today. The general list
was quieter, with more advances
than declines. =
Following Packard Motor Car
company's announced 100 per cent
stock dividend on common, it wss
reported that application to list the
stock ON the New York Stock Ex-
change had been made. The shares
responded by opening with a sub
stantial advance, and reached new
high record, but that this had been
fully discounted was evident by a
later reaction to around the close
of the previous day.
Il The action OF Packard Motors
directors stimulated the rest Of the
motor group. This class of stocks
came in for more attention and
Durant common continue in active
demand, reaching new high rec
ord when it went to 55. Continental
Motors, although only slightly
changed, was active at higher
levels, while Stutz was neglected
lIfractionally lower.
Il On the curb the general reason
underlying the strength OF the
| motors was the knowledge that
these companies have been doinf
an unusually good business in the
latter half Of 1922, and are looking
forward to still better times nex1
spring.
A dividend Of "a was declared on
Southwest Pennsylvania Pipe Line
payable Dec. 80 to stockholders OIL

disbursement Of 81 against; Sc last

stocks were in demand again ant

pared to cut the high mark for hogs

LAWRENCE SEES
AN ULTlMATUM
FROM HARDING
Continued from First Page)

more money will have to be spent
in the long run if the bill isn't
passed than if it is. The admins
tration's strength in this fight lies
in the fact that the opponents of
the bill have revived pre-war
prejudice against the principle OF
subsidy without offering any con-
crete program to deal with the
fleet which was inherited. from the
war. The case against subsidy is
built largely on the idea that 1t
will cost the government more
money and the farmer communities
of the west are represented as be-
lieving money should be spent to
help them-they want subsidy in
the form of rural credit arrange
ments. Mr.. Harding must reckon
with that sentiment and the
chances are he will come to an un-
derstanding with the farm element
on support Of their proposals in the
December session Of congress.
Fight of Career. ..s
For the moment, the president is
making the biggest fight of his po-
litical career. He feels his argu-
ments and position are invincible,
tor the responsibility of congress
, will be definitely fixed if the bill
isn't passed. Will the Republican
party in the present congress
where the majority is more than
comfortable turn the president
down? A group OF insurgents are
already defying the party leaders,
but they haven't the votes to defeat
! the bill il the regulars stick to-
gether. 1t has looked dark for the
merchant marine bill until this
week. Mr.. Harding hadn't put on
the heavy -arullery-a square state
ment of the issues involved and
his readiness to fight for these is
sues. A special rule will have to
be invoked to limit debate in the
house and push it through. The
administration 10 confident it can
win in the house. Once. the fight is
won in the lower branch of con-
gress. the prospects Of passage in
the senate will be brighter. The
psychological effect Of victory by
President Harding on so complex
subject as ship subsidy and one
SO full of hostile phases would be
beneficial to the chief executive. 1t
would help him in other tasks. He
is therefore fighting not merely for
government aid to merchant ship
ping-the first constructive meas
ure Of importance in this admins
tration-hut fighting for his lead
ership Of the Republican party.

London, Nov. 21.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Parliamen writ
ers have decided the new house OF
commons WILDE livelier than its
predecessors and that the opposi-
ton, apparently the Laborites, will
be more aggressive.
Discussing the opening session
yesterday, the correspondents cali
attention to the challenging spirit
OF the radical Ldborites. The ejac-
ulation. I'VE will smash all this
shouted in broad Scotch accent by
one Of the Labor members, is con-
sidered significant.
These LabOrites are described as
grim, stern, set men and they are
credited with the intention of in
jecting bit of ginger into their
party.
Debate IL Welcomed.
The prospect Of increased keen
ness of debate, due to the importa-
ton Of new and young blood, is
welcomed in the house.
The attitude Of some Laborites,
as we'll as Of several of their Eng
lish comrades toward the oid-time
formalities Of the opening day, is
suggestive of defiance and de-
sire to smash" but the more radi-
cal among them will have at their
sides a large number of old parlia-
mentary hands of their own party,
who. although yielding to none in
keen advocacy Of the party's aims,
appreciate that violent haste often
defeats a purpose and are quietly
content to acquiesce in parliament
tary conventions.
1t was evidently with the inten-
ton OF checking the demonstrations
