BLAME THE INJURED
Education. Especially OF Children.
Would Lessen Accidents.

Approximately % per cent of all
accidents are the fault Of the persons
injured. according to II. NJ. Mayo.
superintendent of safety of the South
ern Pacific railroad. Proper precau-
tons would eliminate all bu. about ;
per cent of the numerous accidents
that occur he says.
Mr.. Mayo believes non-education is
the cause of practically all of the
many accidents that have resulted TO
little children since the recent opening
of schools in the towns of this state.
He advocates the teaching TO all school
children the absolute necessity Of exnr-
cfsing care in crossing streets.
Mr.. Mayo came TO San Antonio to
conduct division safety meeting Of
5. y. ehmployes. These meetings are
held every 80 or 6 0days in each di-
vision The chief subjects discussed ut
the meeting held Tuesday morning NJ

were automobile and grade crossing
accidents and conditions that have to
do with the welfare and safety of the

Outlook Promising
 For Steel Industry

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-If the views underlying conditions prove correct, the outlook for business in the steel market for the first quarter of next year is promising and many antici- pate activity equal to that at, the beginning of the present year. Rail roads are expected to buy freely of rails and equipment while automo- bile manufacturers are anticipatilSE another big year, and as there is no accumulation supplies. producers are holding prices firm. Pig iron turned quiet again but prices were well maintained as a result of recent large sales and small production.
 A steady but quiet market pre- vailed in copper. Inquiries, however. have foreshadow for the second quarter of 1924. Refined production for November showed some falling off as compared with October, being estimated at 210000,000 pounds, while deliveries into domestic consumption and exports for the month aggregated 195, 100000 pounds. Tin ruled higher with dealers and, consumers good buyers, as a result of reduced im- ports of English tin.
 Lead was strong and active at higher prices. Deliveries are back ward and very little is offered for prompt shipment.
 Zinc was easier owing to increased offerings of prompt shipment, result ing from an excess of output over consuming needs.
 Only a slow demand was noted for antimony, which ruled a shade easier.

Stocks And Bonds In General Upward Moue

NEW YORK, Dec. S.--Stock ana bond prices. continued their move ment to higher ground this week de- spite large volume of profit talk ing and bear selling. New leaders were brought forward, particularly Tn the railroad section, when the old favorites showed signs of falterlng. Commission houses represented an increase in public participation which was attributed to the faYor- able reaction of big business ana banking leaders to President Cool idge's first message to Congress.
 The defeat of the conservative party in the British general election was followed by sharp drop in sterling exchange and sympathetic reactions in French and other con tinental rates. Cotton futures also dropped about 215 cents a pound from the high levels established last week selling being influenced by increased crop estimates and the government ginning report, which indicated that the years crop would exceed 1o,000,- 900 bales.
 Money rates were relatively easy with plenty of time funds for the shorter maturities being available at per cent.

GINNING FIGURES
 RESULT IN SELLING

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Larger gin ming figures than expected were fol- lowed by a renewal of more or less general selling or liquidation in the cotton market here today. The price of January broke to 33f7Se, or S5 points below Friday closing quota tion and into new low ground for the movement Rallies Of some 70 or 30 points from the lowest were not maintained and January closed at 3.S0c with the general market closing easy and Irregular at net de- clines of 60 to S4 points on all months except April, which was 1l0 points net lower. The market opened barely steady at decline of 25 to 55 points. Liverpool was >considera- bly better than due, but the show ing of the cables was completely overshadowed by the census report showing 9,243,S17 bales ginned to December l. This was only apout 100, 900 bales above the recent fore
 east but it was evidently a disap pointment to people who had carried contracts over the break earlier in the week of more recent buyers. At any rate, liquidation was very heavy and there also appeared to be some southern selling onA the decline which extended to 3443c for December at 34.15c for March, or about S2 to S9 points net lower during the middle of the morning. There was consid- erable covering on a scale down. ward and trade buying which checked the decline at these figures and pro- noted moderate rallies. The tone of the market, however, remained very nervous or unsettled and last prices were within a few points of the lowest The ginning of 9,243,917 bales to Deee mber l. was most gen. orally interpreted as pointing to a crcp' of between 10.000,000 and 10,- loo, 900 bales,N compared with recent ideas of around 9,S00,000 to 9,900,000 In some quarters these crop figures wero commented upon in connection with recent reports of light weight bales and the low grade of the crop but the Immediate market seemed to be dominated by disappointment over the failure of the ginnings to confirm smaller estimates of the yield. Private cables reported GOV ering in the Liverpool market ow- ing to the relative steadiness of southern spot markets, and houses with Liverpool and Japanese connec- tions were among the buyers here on the decline.

Trade Broadens On Curb During Week

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-There was a general broadening of trade on the New York curb exchange the past week. when, with the increased ac- tivity, many stocks developed pro- nounced strength and large num- Der advanced to new highs for re- cent trading. A special feature of the market was the display of strength in the Reading issues which were in urgent demand after the an nouncement that warrants for sub- Scrlptlon rights to the new Reading Coal company will be delivered on January 10 to holders of record on December IT.
 New York Telephone preferred and Radio preferred also were strong in anticipation of dividend payments after the end of the year. Many other industrials were in increased demand, the motor group demanding special attention because of the buv- ings of Checker Cab. Stutz Motor. however. was in steady supply and was established at new low record
 Oil stocks alternated between strength and weakness all through the week but generally ended with some amount of gain. Prairie Oil ranged from 21S13 to 213, and New York Transit, which sold down to 70 on the reuucllon or the dividend, ral- lied to 80. Continental Oil advanced to a new high for recent trading.
 Imperial Oil of Canada had the widest range, moving up about Q points to above III. Trading in these issues was based to great extent on the expectation in the street that within short time ad- vances in crude oil prices will be ordered. Some issues were In sup ply ct concessions during the week. Among them were South Pennsyl- vania Oil and Magnolia Oil but they rallied from their low levels
 Mining stocks were unusually ac- sing, which sold at new high for the wear.
